Hi Dixie! Big congrats on being crowned Dog of the Day, sweetheart! After seeing your fab photos I'm a goner! That big, beautiful smile of yours, that toofie grin, is over the moon heart-melting!

What a beautiful American Staffie x girl you are, Dixie "the perfect dog at the perfect time," indeed. I can only imagine your family's heartbreak, having lost 3 beloved furkids, Sadie, Cincy and Spot in such a short time. It's never easy, deciding when or even if to welcome another into our hearts after such a loss. But fate will have its way, and the rest is happy history!

Endless thanks to that shelter who took you off of the mean streets, handing you over to the amazing Lucan County Pit Crew who would help you heal until your family could find their way to you. And what a heavenly match it turned out to be! The comfort and joy, the love and laughter, the healing you have brought to their lives is truly a priceless gift! As we like to say, you can't buy love but you can rescue it! And extra thanks to your family for going the extra mile, helping you to heal with that knee replacement! So happy to hear you're doing so well, sweetheart!

How blessed your family is, having a beautiful, joyful, sweet and loving furkid in you, Dixie! You truly are a treasure, heaven sent, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! Meeting you today has been such a treat! I hope you enjoyed a very special day of celebration...basking in the sun and playing a bit of ball; being read to and cuddling with your human kids; receiving countless kisses and belly rubs; being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, hugs and smooches to you, beautiful Dixie, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day!!!

Be still my heart!!!
