Dixie Darlin - Summer Fun Girl – June ’06 Champion
Breed of Dog: Great Pyrenees
Birthdate & current age of dog : DOB 01/01/05, Dixie is 1 ½ years old.
Explanation of how you chose the winning outfit: Dixie has on a swimsuit of Mommies. It is from when I would put on a two piece suit. Dixie did eat the strap off of one swimsuit while taking our photos. I guess that will teach me to put her is a one piece suit. She does love to show off that cute tummy of hers.
Best/Worst traits of your dog:
Dixie best trait is her ability to make me laugh all the time. I love to watch her run she does it with such total joy. She can play for hours on end and never get enough. She has is now slowing down enough to let me love on her.
Her worst trait is how much she likes to beat up Sugar Bear, even when he wants to sleep.
Best Liked/Least Liked food/treat of your dog:
Dixie will only take a treat if she does not have anything better to do. She does love bully sticks, and wants Sugar Bears after she is finished. Every night when she gets in bed she gets four popcorns or animal crackers.
Favorite Toy:
Her favorite toy is anything that Sugar Bear has or wants. She has an orange bouncy ball that she loves to catch. Sometimes she will even bounce it for herself by dropping it out of her mouth. Tug of war with Sugar Bear is fun because she wins every times.
Favorite place to hang out in the house:
Dixie likes to hang out under the computer table. At work she loves to take naps in the shower, under the desk, or on top of Sugar Bear in his crate. She likes to move to the entry door when it is about time for the UPS pickup. I think she has a crush on our UPS man.
Best friend (dog friend) and why:
Her best friend is Sugar Bear, since she has to spend 24/7 with him.
Favorite memory with this dog: This is an easy one. After we picked her up at the airport, she licked my ear all the way home. That night I put her in her room with Sugar Bear. I did not want her to use the doggy door and go outside during the night so I put her in the play pen we built for Sugar Bear. I go into the kitchen to get them some cheese for night time treat. Before I could even get the cheese she has jumped out of the play-pen and is at my feet. This playpen has sides that are about 30” tall. So we are going to be so smart for the night and staple chicken wire over the top so that see will stay in the play pen in their room. Well during the night she got out between the two pieces of chicken wire and was playing with Sugar Bear in their room. After that I had to just chill out and understand Dixie is going to go where Dixie wants to go.

I changed the date to the correct year, and added a photo of Dixie in the playpen she jumped out of the first day home.
