Walking with my new mom is the best thing ever.
Second that to a nap. I don't need a fancy bed.
Catching some rays feels pretty good too. Thanks IBR for giving me this wonderful second chance at happiness.

Dixie's Hunt Test
Wheeee! I got to go sniff and hunt birds! My foster mom took me and Nora to have a Test. We went on a long car ride, and when we got there, we got to meet a nice man who let us smell birds. I liked it, and the man said I had "potential". He said that meant I liked the birds, and I wasn't "gun shy". I don't know what that means, but I wasn't scared when he made a big noise, and he let me keep smelling the birds. I did stop and point when I found one, and he and my foster mommy said that was good. I'm not sure if I passed my test, but I had a good time.

A New Start for Dixie in Minnesota
Dixie arrived at her new foster home in Minnesota on Saturday, December 27, 2008. Dixie is trying to figure out what is happening in her life. She has been in several homes, and really doesn't know why.
Dixie is a charming girl that desperately wants to be loved. Well, a little love, and a little hunting time in the yard would be perfect!
See if there is some part of my body that tells you how I feel.
I'm the one on the left.
Foster mom was fooled by us for a while.
But somehow she can tell us apart now.
And my tail? Still going!
But WAIT!!! I want to go back out and play some more.
There's only so much sleeping a girl can do!

Update from my foster mom
Miss Dixie has been in temporary foster care here in Northern Illinois for 5 days and is a very loving dog. Dixie is so gentle with the kids, rolls over on her belly to be pet when friends come over, then snuggles on the couch with our friends when they visit. I have not heard her bark since she arrived 5 days ago. She is crate trained and we haven't had any accidents in the house. She does great in her crate, we ask her to get in her bed and she walks right in without a peep all night. She is playful and can entertain herself all day with many naps in between. I am not sure how she is with cats since we don't have any but she gets along great with my pointer after they worked out an issue when they first met. Dixie gets a little up close and personal with my pointer, with her nosey nose. She loves to play steal the toys from Ella my pointer and then hoard them all. She fit in really well with our family within a few days. I can't imagine why her adopter treated her so badly, but she is no worse for the wear. What a great dog and is ready to move into your home for the new year. You would be lucky to have her, she is welcome here anytime, what a great house guest.
