Most
of you know "Shrimpy" from our second Simone/Oz litter.
Shrimpy
got her name because she was a tiny little puppy out of a large
litter of twelve.
From
day one, we were sure that Shrimpy would not survive. No one
told her that however!
As
the pups grew, Shrimpy stayed tiny, causing us to worry and
worry. There were some weeks in which she didn't gain at all.
But
still, Shrimpy was strong and she appeared healthy. She was
just... well... Shrimpy.
Mike, of
course, took a liking to Shrimpy and spent his days making sure she
got to nurse first,
keeping her
warm and clean, and eventually carrying her around and cooking
omelets for her!
Finally
the day came that Shrimpy was big and strong enough to go to her new home.
Mike
chose Keith Mackay and Tammy Hampton!
"Shrimpy"
is now Dixie and is thriving in her new home. And she is a
picture of health!
Dixie
and her favorite person, Alicia!
Dixie
also lives with 1/2 sister, Ember.
Dixie
is following in Ember's footsteps by finding her niche as a therapy dog.

Dixie when she
was still Shrimpy...
I'm not sure
we've ever
had a puppy that we spoiled so much!
