Dixie Is Home!!

Dixie is home!!!

 IMG_3916

This puppy was less “puppy” than I had imagined- she is going to be huge! Her previous home didn’t seem very disciplined so I was a little nervous taking her home, but she is fantastic!

IMG_4849

Dixie slept in my lap for the 1.5 hours home, went out to do her business like a good girl and sits whenever told to. This is the most happy, playful, snuggly puppy ever!

IMG_3918

Dixie’s previous owner also left her outside most of the time so she was really dirty! We took a nice bath to take care of that!

IMG_3920 IMG_4856

Dixie loves to snuggle and be close. Jack (the cat) only likes snuggling at night, so Dixie is perfect for all mu cuddling needs. She’s napping on my lap as I write this!

 IMG_4858

How cute is the above photo? After her bath she discovered that she could see herself in the mirrors if she stood up. It was so funny!

IMG_3922

Dixie is still a puppy because of her age… but she’s definitely not tiny!

IMG_4861

Ha! We picked Dixie up from a home with two other playful dogs… my legs didn’t make it out 100%!

 

Hope you’re all having a great weekend!

    Hooray! I'm so excited for you! I thought the same thing when I saw the first picture. Wow she has grown! Just tall enough to check out her cute self in the mirror. I noticed your legs in the bath picture and was going to say something before I saw you mention it. Ahhh, pups! :)
