Dixie Sue just turned 5 on Monday, May 4th. It has definately been a wild five years with our sweet and sassy Dixie. All in all, we have a really great dog. She loves the kids - especially when they drop food on the floor for her. She is protective of the kids and of us. When Lauren goes outside to play in our yard, I let Dixie out and Dixie will bark like crazy is someone walks by. She's like an extra babysitter! She wants to be around us all the time, which is a bit annoying when I am trying to get laundry done or supper cooked and she is plastered up against my legs because something scared her. But she is a really good dog. She loves to hunt with Brian. After being declared "gun-shy" and a "dog that will never hunt" by professional trainers, I think Brian has done a really good job training her!
We left on our first overnight since Logan has been born and our neighbors graciously offered to take care of Dixie for us. Dixie turned out to be the enraged teenager that is ticked-off at being left behind and decided to break ALL the rules! She slept in our bed (made a "nest" and messed up all the bedding), she drank from the toilet, and she ate food off the neighbors countertop (sorry about the doughnut, Jake!) What a sassy dog!!!
We haven't watched the movie "Marley and Me." I read the book a long time ago and loved it, but to be honest, we are a little apprehensive about watching the movie because we've heard it's really sad. Dixie is our Marley. She is our naughty dog, but we love her!!
