Dixie is her name. My two sons and I found her while walking along a creek on my parent's land in Alabama the summer of 2006. She was just a puppy, obviously abandoned, and covered with ticks and infested with worms. A true rescue! We got her cleaned up and took her north with us (we lived in Massachusetts at the time).

On the way home, we tried thinking of a name for her. Then on the radio came the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and we made the connection with Alabama. So that is how she got the name Dixie!

Wonderful name and reason for it...Kato is a Chinese Shih Tsu and I research boys names from China...nothing seemed right...Then I remember the radio version of the Green Hornet and his sidekick was Chinese Kato. Comic Books and movies have moved to other races and especially Korean, but my memory is “OLD” and it just seems good to me. I am 1/2 Irish so the Green Hornet is a good name and sometimes ( not anymore) password related. Easy to remember!

Dixie will be in my thoughts. Her picture shows, in her eyes, the way she feels about the photographer and those around her.

FL is home so not Dixie! We are all a blend of everywhere else.
