Whistling Dixie


Every farm (and kid) should have a dog, right? I have definitely been the hold-out in our family. We would have had a dog a long time ago if it had not been for the fact that I didn't WANT a dog!

Well, times are changing and our farm now has a dog! She's a three year old Wheaten Terrier from the Humane Society. Her breed is known for herding, protecting chickens and eggs, and hunting. She is gentle and seemingly very smart.

She came to us with her name and it suits her very well. Dixie is very sweet and we are very happy to have her sharing our home!

  1. A dog!! You've taken the plunge, eh?

    Does she sleep with the chickens, or has she moved into the "Big House?"

    Congrats!

  2. Dixie is a house dog! However, given a choice she would LOVE to sleep with the chickens although I don't think much "sleeping" would be going on!
