Did Somebody Say Pony?

Because her parents went outta town and she really isn't a lap dog (we don't tell her that) this week Dixie the Great Big Labradoodle spent the week at Camp Jenny! We had a rip roaring good time.... Check out them legs!


This really is one GREAT BIG DOG. She is a Labradoodle, as I mentioned. That's a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle. Someone said this makes a perfect pet -- the laid back Lab and the smart smart poodle.... Someone has not met Dixie. She is, granted, a puppy, but wild as a billy goat. And DUMB. But tender too -- a kinder dog I have never encountered.

Words can not describe how wiggly and squiggly and twisty and turny this dog is... She doesn't walk, she leaps and bounds and gallops and floats... All those long legs seem to know just where to go. Graceful, that's what I'd say.

And kindly. There is that. When Dixie leans against you for comfort, you know you are being leaned against. Dixie is all legs and tenderness. There are certainly worst things to be.
