I received this delightful Christmas card with picture and note inside. Dixon is a puppy whelped in early October of 2009. What a beautiful dog he has become!
Dear Sue,
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Dixon was a little distracted by the other dogs in his Santa picture. Children of all ages played with him, and he was friendly to them all. We drove to Birmingham, Alabama for the Santa picture and he was a great little traveler. He has his own travel bag with food, water, bowls and toys. (B'hamn is 120 miles away.)
This past weekend we noticed that he was not us usual "active" self, so Tim and Christian took him to the doctor. He has tonsillitis, and you should see how good he takes his medicine. Tim says he's expecting him to talk any day now!
I need to have someone take a picture of him sitting upright, facing forward in the chair with me at night after Christian goes to bed. You will have to see it to believe it! He's so precious!
Sue, thanks again for this little miracle! I wish that we lived closer.
Oh, one more thing, he still carries the little toy around that you sent home with him. It is very worn and practically flat, but when he's playing with it, I imagine him thinking of his Buffalo family where he got such a great start in life!
Happiness and special blessings to you!
Love and gratitude,
Tim, Nancy, Christian & Dixon
