The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow...

Dixie Dawg has been adopted! She leaves on July 12th for Jackson, MS and will then head to her new home and family in Conneticut on the 15th.

Since Dixie has come to live with us, she is no longer a skinny shy dog, but a cubby and vivacious dog. No longer does she sit on her haunches if you take her through a door...now she barrels through them!

With her departure, comes a bittersweet feeling. I will miss her puppy kisses, her big brown eyes and the soft coal black hide. But more importantly, she will be leaving one loving home to go to another. I'm betting there is one anxious little boy who has asked his parents more than a dozen times, "when will she be here?"

She is on her way, sweet baby...just you wait.

UPDATE 7/12/09: I drove Dixie and Razzle (another baby rescued) to Jackson. They both will be heading to CT on Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Good news, since pulling Dixie from the OPAS, she had gained 17lbs. She started out at a scrawny 24lbs and grew into a muscled 41lbs. In her wake, she took one crepe myrtle, two honeysuckle bushes and two kiddie pools, and a family (both human and animal) that will be forever touched by her.
