Meet Dixie

The newest addition to our little family. She's a chocolate lab and, well, pit-bull mix. Supposedly only 1/4 pit but her face is clearly pit bullish. The Goldenish eyes are quite stunning.

She is also quite timid but welcomes attention and is starting to come when called.

The Pet rescue people called not two hours after we got her home and said "whoops, we just noticed in her medical records, she's got heartworm." I'd smell a rat if it weren't for the fact they are going to pay for her treatment, making me accept it as an oversight and not deception. Rescue dogs come with issues and Ranger had hers and Buster did too. Heartworm treatment is no picnic and it's not going to help her calm down and get acclimated.
