There Will Never be Another Dixie

Our Dixie Girl

Today is a very sad day for our family. A 2nd consultation with our vet confirmed what we already knew, that our days with Dixie are coming to an end. On Monday we will say good-bye to our Prairie Wind's SC Dixie Girl. She is in pain and has stopped eating normally and her back legs are shot. The Vet said it is time, and we knew that. Our hearts are very sad and tears are in our eyes, but we know on Monday our sweet girl will be hunting again and pain free. We will miss her so much!

For 13 years Dixie has brought us a great deal of happiness. She is an amazing dog. To us she is more than just a pet, she is a member of our family. As I type this she is by my side. Through every deployment she has protected us and kept me company. She greets us with a waging tail every time we walk through the door. Excited every time she sees us. Dixie has been the best hunting partner for Scott. She is simply the best when it comes to rooster hunting. There is no other dog like her!

There will never be another Dixie! Our hearts are broken as we spend our last days with our sweet girl. She will be missed so much. Our house will be empty without her but I know that this is the best thing for her. So hunt 'em up girl, we love you!

Now they can hunt 'em up together again.
