Whistling Dixie

Meet Whistling Dixie. This is the newest addition to my family. Bless her heart she is afraid of her own shadow. Slowly but surely she is coming out of it though.

She is a rescue.

There was a woman on the side of the road on Monday and I stopped. Don't know why I stopped but it felt like my car took over and pulled onto the shoulder of the road. (Hey, it happens) Anyway when I started talking to the woman she told me that this was her last ditch effort to find these puppies a home. A man had dropped them off at her house because he couldn't keep them any longer and so she was going to take them to the SPCA. Now, this is a problem. We have a lot of animals from Katrina at our SPCA so I knew what they would do. The puppies are two months old. They would have put her down. I'm hoping she found good homes for the rest of the dogs.

I already had two dogs and a cat. Small little lap dogs, one eight pounds and the other twelve pounds. Dixie is going to be at least sixty pounds. She is a Black lab/Golden Retriever mix. When I picked her up and held her in my arms she gave me the look. The one that says please take me home. When she snuggled in at my neck, I was a goner.

My poor house...LOL
