Hi Xander! Happy Dog of the Day!!!

Oh, Xander! Tthat face!!! Your beautiful smile, your expressive, love filled brown eyes have my heart in total meltdown mode! What a gorgeous Sheltie x Australian Cattle Dog you are, sweetheart, beautiful inside and out (though I can hardly believer you're 13 years young)! I laughed out loud, picturing you seated between your 90 lb brother and 12 lb sister! Throwback to Goldilocks...not too big, not too small, JUST RIGHT! Or, as your mom would says, the perfect balance between the two, the Jan Brady of the pack, bringing some sanity and balance to the family!

Endless thanks to your family for coming to your aid in your time of great need, opening up their home and hearts to one most deserving boy, a Katrina survivor! And every day since your homecoming so many years ago, you have repaid your humans' compassion with your love and loyalty, bringing so much joy to their lives! How blessed your family is, having a furkid, a best friend, a loyal and loving companion in you! You're just as special as they come, Xander, a treasure, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! Meeting you today has been a joy! I hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration...doing your thing, keeping the pups and humans in line, hehe, enjoying some fun outdoor time with your fur bro and sis, being loved and pampered to pieces by your proud pawrents! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Xander, our very special and most deserving Dog of the Day, EVERY day! Love to your fur brother and sister, too!

SO beautiful!!!
