D is for Dog
Of course, if C is for Cat then D must be for Dog. A dog named Dixie.
Let me say right up front that I am not a dog person. I never had a dog growing up (well, except for the brief and ill-fated attempt we had with an Irish Setter puppy in the winter of 1971 when I was 6) and I am very much a cat person. Dale, however, is a dog person and therefore we have a cat for me and a dog for him.
Truly, Dixie is a very sweet dog. She’s loyal and friendly. She jumps like a kangaroo when she’s excited to see you – and honestly, she’s excited to see you if you’ve been gone 5 days or 5 minutes. She’s a shameless food begger and has wonderfully expressive eyes. And those eyes clearly work to her advantage when she’s begging for food. She’s good company and loves to take us for a walk. She captured my heart when she was a puppy and she’s never let it go.
Maybe I am a bit of a dog person after all.

Some folks are born “dog people”, some folks take a bit longer to come around…
I, of course, can’t have any sort of a pet with fur, feathers, or fuzz, thanks to allergies. So, my kids enjoy their Sea Monkeys. I WISH I could have a cat. THEY wish they could have a dog.
How could you not love her with those big soulful eyes? What a cutie!
How could you not be a dog person with that sweet doggie living with you? I grew up with dogs, but we have none now 🙁 We tried once; I adopted the sweetest dog from a shelter and brought her home. By the next morning, Samm was covered in hives and her face was swollen like crazy. I cried the whole way back to the shelter and the whole way home. Luckily, it was a no kill shelter.
When you have a great dog around it’s easy to be a dog person. Dixie is a sweety!
What a sweet girl!
Mason? Dixie? Coincidence? Is Dale a southern dog lover and you a cat loving Yankee?
Well, at any rate you’re a Dixie person. I steadfastly maintain that I really don’t care for dogs, even if it may appear that a given has insinuated itself into my good graces. For the bouncy, noisy critters they are, they are remarkably good at the insinuation thing.
Debi may have something there, although I ascribe the names to the influence of all those Civil War reenactments. I’m a cat-loving Yankee myself.
You may not be a dog person, but you sure a Dixie person 😉 She looks like the kinda gal that could steal a heart with ease.
I definitely fall into the “dog person” camp. My cat experience growing up was not the best. Your Dixie looks like a sweetie!
EVERYBODY is a dog person, whether they know it or not. 🙂
Oh she’s so sweet. She looks like she could make anyone a dog person.
She’s a doll. If you weren’t a dog person before, Dixie is the type of dog to convert you, indeed.
What a sweet looking baby! Dixie seems to fit right into your household…and I think from looking at her photos that she would steal anybody’s heart. Sometimes you just luck out and get a great dog to make you a “dog” person – even if it’s just that one particular dog!
i’m definitely a cat person but big old rocky made me a dog person. i miss him.
and one day, when our schedules permit, we’ll get another dog. but maybe one with smaller poops.
I LOVE her! She looks like she may be a “Carole” dog to me. Give Dixie a good scruff behind the ears from Holli and me today please!
Dixie looks like a sweet dog. Until we got Phoebe, I wasn’t much of an animal person at all. She changed that for me and I miss her. Pets are wonderful additions to our lives.
Carole, I was looking through your archived photos of FO and wow! I love all your socks! You’re so prolific, and creative.

I didn’t have a dog growing up, either, but my husband (like Dale) is a dog person, so naturally we have a dog in the house. It took me a while, but I’ve turned into a dog person, too 🙂 Dixie is a beautiful dog. I can see why she’s so well-loved!
How sweet!! I love animals…
I felt the same way about cats until we had one. Now I love them both equally. Dixie looks like such a sweetie.
I used to think I was a dog person…until I had a cat.
*pat pat*
What a sweet girl. I can’t say I’m a dog person, but those eyes would get anybody I think.
Dogs have their places! 🙂
I’m glad she brought you around…
(((hugs)))
If not a dog person, that at least a Dixie person.
David’s not a dog person, either, but he’s been learning. Of course, Tuck will hardly even look at him if I’m around, which is a slightly different challenge.
Really, it takes the *right* dog to convert you. Dix looks like the cashmere of dogs.
What a pretty girl.
Sweet Dixie! So much soul.
There is no resisting a dog who is determined not to be resisted.
I think you can be a Not Dog person and still love a particular dog…I imagine Dixie would be hard to resist – what a sweet soul!
Yeah, those loving doggie eyes get you all the time!
Aaaawwwwe. What’s not to love? Such a sweet girl.
She is definitely a sweetheart – she won my heart when I met her! :o)
What a sweet puppy! My daughter has an evil chihuahua – which just confirms my cat-personhood.
She is so adorable. Me, I’m a dog person. I’ve never had a cat though, so maybe I’m a bit of a cat person also and I don’t know it.
t I really thought you were going to do “d” for Dale. Maybe he’s “h” for husband?
At the very least, you’re obviously a Dixie-Person!
Awww what a sweetie she is!
