A little blurry, but you know Dixie has good hips . . .  and wants to go outside as usual!

Apparently even fire wood tastes delicious to Jenna!

Hunter calls the game of tug of war between the sisters.

 

 

Parents' Note (Disclaimer):  Each of our canines is special in her/her own unique way. 

Dixie loves to be outside, but wants you to love it too!  She's just like the postal service: neither rain, nor snow, nor heat, nor dark of night will keep her away from the tennis balls!  No matter what you may have going on, she thinks you should stop to toss the tennis ball for her. 

Jenna has to be the most food-oriented dawg on the planet!  She will eat ANYTHING!!!  Our job is difficult keeping her safely away from items which could hurt her.  Despite her food temptations, she listens the best of any of the gang. 

Hunter is our big baby, meaning he's a really big chicken.  As a senior citizen, he is stubborn and does only what he wants to do at this point in his life.  And we let him because we love him!  He is also the referee around here.  He wants to keep a happy home and doesn't like to think Jenna and Dixie are hurting each other.
