Dixie & My Brother’s Neighbor

…she was a train-wreck until you got her some peace!

My brother decided it was time to leave the Florida Keys. Year earlier, he rescued (with my help) two Chocolate Lab sisters Dixie & Daisy, who are now 6 years old. Their house sold and my brother began packing up everything. He called to tell me Daisy seemed fine, but maybe I should do something for Dixie. She was really stressed. I had a conversation with both dogs explaining about the sale and their up-coming move. I think given their history Dixie was very worried about losing this fabulous home of hers. The next time I spoke with my brother he said, “Whatever you did really helped Dixie.She is a different dog.” Several months later, I was emailing with one of his neighbors. I just smiled as I read, “How much you helped Dixie is amazing during the transition…she was a train-wreck until you got her some peace! I will miss them tremendously!!!!!”

Sometimes it can be just a quick conversation with a pet that can make all the difference; relieve all the anxieties and fears.
