Slksfca is well known in the community diaries for his wit, bonhomie, and kindness to all. And for a time, all too brief as fate would have it, he was known as the companion of a sweet little senior dog named Dixie.
A person could get lost in the depths of those eyes!Dixie was utterly charming. She certainly had what I like to call “star quality” — and I am not exaggerating when I say that her portraits lit up the internet. For such a tiny little thing, the girl sure was “widescreen” as a friend of mine used to put it. She had a bonafide public! Dixie may have been a lady of a certain age but, boy, she could melt hearts at any distance with just a look — no kidding.
But there was a lot more to the simpatico relationship that Dixie had with Silky. She was not only a darling companion. She was one of the best things that had happened for Silkie’s health — and this was by design.
