Love it!
Thanks for all you humor, iblong2! And it is nice to see Dixie's smiling face on this board. I had a wonderful dog named Kasha who was a Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix (I think - pound puppy). I miss her terribly as she died a couple years ago,and when I read about your recent "Ginger loss" and subsequent "Dixie gain", it brought warmth to my heart and reminded me of all that is good about my sweet Kasha (not that I don't think about her every day).
Dogs, and cats - and any pet for that matter, are the best gifts we are given. Anyone who does not feel this way can just, well, go away as far as I am concerned.
I judge people by their pets and children. If the dog/child/pet is a happy dog/child/pet, then the person has at least shot at being liked by me.
I could write for days on it, but let me just say thanks for spreading the humor and for posting little Dixie in your sig.
