Dixie, waiting to get out of the cold

We haven't figured out how to make Dixie photogenic. Sure, we have a photo of Dixie at the Forsyth Humane Society and another of her and me that was taken at the dog park.

 But her standalone shots haven't been that great. They've looked posed, not natural, like the ones I made with Lady (who passed on Sept. 17, 2016; we got Dixie 10 days later).

 At left is one of the best photos Holly has taken of her; obviously, it was shot after a snow here in the Triad of North Carolina.

I've had no luck so far, but I'll keep trying.

 Sadly, Dixie is not a natural model, as Lady was.

A cold walk in the neighborhood

A WARMER DAY FOR US
It was cold today when Dixie and I walked around the neighborhood just before dark.

 We didn't meet any people or animals, although we saw someone pull up next door. A dark cat sat nearby as someone got out of the car and went inside.

 Dixie cried, and I don't know if she wanted to meet the person or if she wanted to chase the cat. The man wasn't interested, and the cat was mum.

 I did notice two things: A flock of geese flew over, with one of them honking, and a young bird of some sort called repeatedly out of the bushes. Dixie showed no interest in the geese, but the chick's calling caused her to stop and look.
