She is finally old enough to be calm - instead of a rambunctious puppy dog - and at the same time I see the creakiness settling in - making her move more slowly in the mornings and taking her time to greet me at the door. <br /><br />How we love our pups. How therapeutic and loving they are - our best friends.michellehttp://smoochdog.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-25895135960158488252009-08-27T16:23:47.684-03:002009-08-27T16:23:47.684-03:00She really does become another dog when there'...She really does become another dog when there's a small mammal (running preferably) or rodent and if that rodent is perhaps a muskrat. She's gone completely - mad. After all she is mostly Scottish muskrat hound (distant cousin to the Irish Wolfhound) and I kid not I have had to pull her out of more than one watery culvert. She becomes totally possessed when she's muskrat hunting, breathing hard, eyes glazed over not at all the Miss D for demure, the I'm just gonna sit here and look all cute Miss D that you see here on this blog ... and we really do "have" to be very careful with cats that aren't her own. The introduction of Gus & Oliver three years ago as tiny kittens was an extremely long and drawn out (2-3week) production involving a big wire dog kennel (for the kittens) and lots of gradual meetings on leash. I didn't totally trust Winnie for a long time. She loves them now but it's only because they're "her" kittens. Well, and Bleet thinks he's a dog, he always has - so Winnie thought so too.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-72666771993129346972009-08-27T13:38:58.354-03:002009-08-27T13:38:58.354-03:00She's a beauty Susan!She's a beauty Susan!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038703319667640641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-77433727605018275542009-08-27T13:36:12.143-03:002009-08-27T13:36:12.143-03:00Miss D just melts my heart.

I love Miss...Chez Caesar hit the nail on the head! I love Miss Winnie Dixon as if she were one of my own furry brood! I start every day looking at that sweet face on this blog. She has become family to me and I treasure her existence with every breath. Susan, I so "get" how you want to burn these precious moments into your psyche so you can hold them forever. The last few years with my Bo I knew we were living on borrowed time and I sometimes wept over the certain knowledge that he would have to leave me. The end came far too soon, although he lived a full and happy life. Still, 8 1/2 years later, I am still lonesome for his companionship, which was like no other. Tears roll down my face as I write. I am only consoled with the belief that I WILL see him again one day and once again cover that tender black head with kisses.<br />In the meantime, I send adoring love to Winnie across the many miles that separate us and cuddle close with the 10 little charges that God has sent my way to attend on their journey through this life.<br />Have a wonderful day all!Vickie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251792725792438123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-74603151655040543482009-08-27T10:12:53.706-03:002009-08-27T10:12:53.706-03:00Sweet Winnie.
