| DIXIE DIDN'T MIND A LITTLE COLD TODAY. |
March 17 marked the six-month half-anniversary since the death of our Lady. And today marks six months since we got Dixie (photo left) on Sept. 27.
It's hard to believe that we've had Dixie for six months. I don't know about my wife Holly, but Dixie's growing on me. If I could somehow get Lady back (impossible, I know), I'd want to keep Dixie, too.
Dixie tries so hard to please. The main aggravations I have are when I hook her to her leash or unhook her leash. She'll lie down, and I'll have a hard time reaching the hook rings.
(The other aggravations come when she wiggles out of her harness and leaves the yard, but I've written about that elsewhere.)
Dixie and I took out the trash barrel this morning (she's not a hindrance or a help), then took a short walk down the lane. She often rolls in the grass, but, thankfully, she passed on the grass today.
I wish I could walk her more often and for a greater distance, but I can't. It's probably for the best, anyway; if we go far, she'll just lie down.
