Dixie Jane, beautiful angel, I'm so glad you were chosen for our extra special Sunday honors, so that we might have the chance to pay tribute to the VERY special girl that you were, and all that you meant to lolli, and to Melanie. You were one in a million, Dixie Jane, and both your families so very lucky to have had a loving companion in you.

Reading your profile, looking at your precious pictures, brought tears to my eyes, Dixie Jane. But I really lost it after reading lolli's additional tribute here today. "Special" doesn't come closing to describing you, for you were one of those once in a lifetime animal companions, beautiful in body and in heart; truly one of God's gentle souls. You had a very tough life, Dixie Jane. But finally, in you golden years, you found your way to devoted humans who would respect you and love you unconditionally. And your mommies need not worry, for I have no doubt you left this earth knowing how deeply, how completely loved you were.
Now, healthy and whole once more, romp happily at the Rainbow Bridge, Dixie Jane, where the grass is always green and fresh, and those cherished neck brushes, and treats, unlimited!

To lolli and Melanie...Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Dixie Jane with us. I can only imagine how difficult it was to lose a freind as special as she. But take comfort in knowing that she left for the Rainbow Bridge with nothing but a heart filled with love, that you and she will be together again one fine day, and what a special reunion that will be! And I'm so happy for you lolli, that you were given her bridle to cherish and remember her by. What a very special gesture that was, Melanie! Dixie Jane's mommies were as special as she!
