Frankly My Dear I Do Give a Damn

Scarlett O'Hara "baby girl" Doss flew into this world on January 25th 2005. And I mean flew. Dixie, her mom, had already had 3 puppies and we thought Dixie was through. She was only 8 months old and weighed 10 pounds. Alex was excited and talking to her Dad on the phone when all of a sudden one more puppy literally shot out of Dixie, through the air about 3 feet, and landed on edge of blanket. We all shrieked and Alex dropped the phone. Well Scarlett was our last puppy and only girl. As you can see, she has always been curly.

 Scarlett hold a special place in my heart since I actually witnessed her birth and because she is Dixie's puppy.

You can below how tiny Dixie was and one of her other puppies.

                Below is a picture of Max, her Daddy, and Hershey, her uncle. Max is on the right. Scarlett got her hair and temperament from Max.

Scarlett has always been laid back and very gentle. Unless you crowded her personal space. Here she is letting Peanut sit on her  and not making a sound.

She never really liked me cutting her hair but it had to be done. She looks like a totally different dog with her hair cut.

Scarlett has brought so much joy to my life. She is playful, energetic, loving, and a Mama's girl. She always loves sitting in my lap and sleeping next to me.She gets excited and loves to play. She always loves to cuddle.

Many of you know Scarlett had been sick in January and was very ill. Well she became ill again the last two days and I had to make the hardest decision as a pet owner. I did not want my beautiful sweet girl to be in pain anymore. She was crying because she was in so much pain.  As much as it hurts me, I decided to let her go. I am crying as a write this. This is the first time I have ever been with a pet their entire life. I was with her when she was born and I held her as she died. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Scarlett my beautiful baby girl I love you.
