eight years with my dixie girl

eight years ago today i walked into a dingy private shelter in southwest Portland, OR looking for a companion. after weeks of searching, my little angel was brought into the room and walked right over to me, put her head on my leg and looked into my eyes as if to say "please take me home with you." so i did. she was the one. i found her and she found me. it was love at first sight.

we have lived in eight differnent places, three different states and we even made it through a last name change together! that little angel waited for me by the front door at my mom and dad's house for two years while i lived in switzerland, hoping i would be coming back to get her. she has cried with me in my darkest moments of life and celebrated with me, jumping and wagging her tail feathers as fast as she can in my brightest moments. never once leaving my side and happy to see me everytime i get home, that's dixie. she is the best doggie in the whole wide world, compassionate, caring and even a bit bitchy at times. i love her too too much.

happy anniversary dixie marie meuser doodle doo bowman! thank you for rescuing me when i needed you the most! frosty paws on me tonight!
