Dixie has many nicknames...Dixie Chopper, Dixie Doodle, Dixie Darlin'.  It is very hard to foster a dog or cat without falling in love.  It happens all the time.  This time, with this little dog, I simply couldn't bear to part with her.  Dixie is a parvo survivor, and while nursing her back to health, I fell madly in love with little Dixie and could not let her go.  We don't know what she is, so we call her a "Little Brown Dog". 

You can read about Dixie's continuing adventures, as well as her near-death parvo experience, on her very own blog... http://dixie-dog.blogspot.com/
