My baby turned 8 years old on Monday. He stayed with my parents the week after Christmas and became buddies with their dog, Dixie. She's a 6-month-old boxer and not really as big as she looks in the photo; I think that has more to do with the camera angle. Although she is big, and her tongue is definitely that big. As my dear friend Cissie said when she saw the photo: If you've met Dixie, you've met Dixie's tongue.
