Chapter One

Enter Dodger (Jack Russell Terrier). One bad puppy, he's witty, good-hearted, kind, crafty and cleaver. He's streetwise, he can improvise. He's street-smart and got New York City heart. Well-loved by the female dogs, he's a ladies mutt, a womanizer. He's well-loved by his friends and family. He's not just out for himself, but he's community minded.

Enter Dixie Virginia West (Saluki). One sexy, sensational country music songbird. She's beautiful, sexy, but she's quick-tempered. She's kind, harmonious, silly, and caring. She's loved by her fans from all over the country and the world, the fans and entertainment critics nicknamed her "The Divine Miss D." She has a voice that's filled with harmony, soul, and a heart of gold.

Dodger is a longtime native in one of the most popular cities in America and the greatest city in the world, New York City, NY. And Dixie, a lifelong native hometown Texan (Born originally from Round Rock, raised in Austin) now lives in one of America's most popular tourists attracted cities and it's been called The Country Music Capital of the World and Music City, Nashville, TN.

The travel mileage distance from New York to Nashville is between 884 to 918 miles. The two canines both had their share of difficulties in their lives but managed to find time for each other with their mates.

Both Dodger and Dixie had special plans together with their mates from two cities apart. In New York City, Dodger was planning to start a family with his longtime mate, Rita (Saluki) and wants to devote his love and his life to his long-time mate after focusing on keeping the gang together after the sudden death of their master, Fagin to cancer in the spring of 2009. They'd been through some rough patches from time to time, but still cared for each other.

Meanwhile in Nashville, Dixie was also planning to start a family soon with her long-time husband-mate, Cash (Bloodhound) when they plan to finish their upcoming concert tours at the end of the spring concert season. Both Cash and Dixie have been together since. They along with Floyd, Waylon and Granny Rose formed the country singing group called "The Singin' Strays" which made their debut in the country music scene in the Spring of 2006.

Both dogs and their mates have their futures already in set. But all their personal plans and their lives were soon about to change for the two of them from two different cities on one Wednesday, January 13th, 2010.

On an exceedingly difficult, yet unseasonable warm afternoon on January 13th in New York City, NY, Dodger came back home to Fagin's houseboat after bringing food for himself and the gang. By the time he walked inside the houseboat, he began to hear some moaning and panting noises in the background.

He quietly soon discovered who was on Fagin's recliner. It was his mate, Rita; she was being unfaithful and cheating on him behind his back with his enemy, Ronno, a pimp Doberman from Detroit, MI who've Rita had been seeing behind Dodger's back.

Rita and Ronno (Doberman) was doing the 69 (sucking cock and eating pussy) and then started fucking her for more than twenty minutes.

Dodger emotionally watches them quietly in a furious rage as Ronno knotted her for more than five minutes. And after when they became unstuck, they rested their bodies and began talking about each other.

Ronno - "You know, Rita, I don't know why you would hang around with that asshole."

Rita - "Dodger don't give a shit about me... he doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself... after we reconciled, I was desperately in heat and wanted to mate him so bad, but his top priority is to keep the gang together. That's all he cared about. I was desperate for sex from him, but he was too busy. But I'm glad I found you in my life, and for a brief time we've been having so much fun together."

Ronno - "Well, Rita; I'll always knew that you'd rather hang around with a class act like me."

Both Ronno and Rita snickered and smiled as they shared an enthusiastic kiss together.

Rita - "I would love to hang with you some more... I want you to fuck me again you sexy big hunk."

She started to giggle, then moved next to Ronno tickling his chin with her tail.

Rita - "I have to admit, Ronno, You're very tempting."

A cooed Rita cuddled up with him. And Ronno confidently gets closer to her.

Ronno - "You are right, Rita. And I'm being serious with you. I want you to come spend the rest of your life with me. I want to give you a whole lot more. A new life, a new future... and you and I... a strong relationship."

Rita then turned to Ronno and tickled his chin. At first, he just growled softly, but when she gave him a wink and rubbed his neck with her paws, he suddenly fell for her. The ravishing Saluki stood between the Detroit Doberman flirting with him.

Rita - "Ronno... A Doberman like you is one of the most absurd of God's creatures. We females can give you your life, and we can take it back just as easily."

Ronno - "Sure, Rita. I like a bitch with a lot of fire in your eyes."

Ronno laughed while he licked and kissed Rita. Then she reached under Ronno's legs and rubbed his groin from her paws. But as she rubbed his groin, Ronno ran his right paw across her ass. And Ronno said to Rita with a smile.

Ronno - "You have the most beautiful ass, Rita."

Rita - "You want to fuck me again, Baby?"

As Ronno rubbed Rita's ass with is paws, his penis became unsheathed. Rita smiled at Ronno.

Ronno - "Oh yes... After you suck my cock real hard for me, Rita."

Rita started sucking Ronno's cock, then deep throated for more than ten minutes. After the cock sucking, the Dobie fucks her again. As Dodger was humiliated, and watched in disbelief, Rita quivered panting and whining as Ronno hovered over her needy body, thrusting forward, his thick pulsing shaft penetrating her contracting cunny, weeping precum down her tail as he went in deep drawing a moan from her.

The air permeated with the smell of their sex as he began a steady rhythm, filling the silence with smacks, grunts, and groans....

Dodger knew that the reconciliation won't last, and Rita went back to her bitchy and cheating ways while she was being unfaithful to him. He found out about it from his friend, The Tramp (Lady's Husband). The Tramp told Dodger that he and his wife, Lady saw Rita having sexual relations with the Doberman two weeks ago.

Rita had a sexual affair with Ronno for the past two to three weeks because Dodger was too busy not only on himself, but on the gang. He's been trying to keep the gang together since the passing of their master and leader, Fagin nearly a year ago. Dodger promised Fagin when he was dying that he'll keep the gang together through the good and the bad.

After Ronno fucked Rita hard in her vulva; he started to cum hard on her. Ronno's semen spew all over Rita's body and face; and Rita had a taste of his cum in her mouth. The Dobie and Saluki rested on the recliner for a few minutes after more than a half-hour of sex.

While Ronno and Rita rested their bodies after having sex, a humiliated Dodger couldn't believe what he had heard that he'll never forget in his life.

Rita - "Ronno, after that amazing fucking you gave me... I find you so fucking handsome and someone who I want to spend my life with."

Ronno - "You know, Rita, I can see why you'd rather be with me because that Dodger mutt can't give you a real good time."

He said in a charming, yet sexual tone. Rita said to Ronno as she tickled his chin with her tail, while he stared at her with a dark smile. Then, he ran his tongue across her cheek.

Rita - "I just love a strong slender black and brown Doberman with brown eyes and a gray and gold collar with diamonds around his neck."

Ronno - "I just love a sexy slender Saluki with brown hair, tan fur and blue eyelids... I bet you taste good, Rita. Was the sex good for you, Baby?"

Rita - "I was going to ask you the same thing, but it felt really great. Thanks for giving my ass one hell of a hard pounding, Ronno."

Ronno - "Rita, say you'll come to Detroit with me... that Dodger is no fuckin' good. All he really fucking cares about is himself and so-called gang."

Rita - "Yeah, I know... truthfully, the only thing Dodger ever cares about is starting a family and for me to have his puppies. Well, I'm not that kind of female who's ready for motherhood and I'm not ready to carry his puppies with that son-of-a-bitch. However, I might however want to carry yours."

Ronno - "Oh, yeah... that could be very exciting."

Rita - "Un-Huh. Personally, Ronno... I never loved Dodger right from the beginning. He's not the kind of mate for me... you are, and I want to be with you... I love you."

Ronno - "And, I love you, too Rita."

After witnessing the humiliation and the sexual action coming from the Dobie and Saluki, Dodger had enough, and he was looking for a fight.

Dodger - "Hope I didn't bust up your private rendezvous... What the fuck, Rita? I'm not the fuckin' kind of mate for you?!"

Rita - "Oh, My God... Dodger! Doggie Baby, it's not what you think."

Ronno - "Hey, look asshole, you don't want any of this. Matter of fact, you don't want any of me. Because if you're looking for a fight, you're going to be in for a whole world of hurt when I get through with you."

Rita - "Ronno, Baby... Don't. He's not worth it."

Ronno - "Stay back, Rita... this is between me and him... someone's going to die tonight."

Dodger - "You first, you gigolo motherfucker!"

After what he'd seen in front of his very eyes, Dodger bust up their little private rendezvous and the two mutts got into a furious, violent dogfight that lasted more than five minutes. The Artful Terrier scratched him a new one by clawing part of his face, nose, and biting parts of his body. Hard to believe, Ronno doesn't have much muscle of Doberman to keep fighting Dodger.

Ronno did fought back for a minute, but Dodger continued to attack him and kicking his ass. Rita begged Dodger and Ronno to stop fighting but failed. She even tried to grab Dodger by biting him from the tail, but he viciously bitch-slapped her in the face and told her to back off. Ronno was badly hurt; he didn't want no more of him.

Dodger - "I'm gonna fucking kill you, you mate stealing, gigoloing son-of-a-bitch!"

Rita - "Dodger, Stop! Don't hurt him!"

Dodger - "Get the fuck off me, you two-faced cunt!"

Ronno - "Please, please... No more, man. I'm already hurt enough!"

Dodger - "Die, you fucking asshole!"

After the violent brawl, Ronno begged Dodger not to kill him because he's already bleeding and hurt, but with his blood boiling and the anger in his eyes; Dodger refused and continues attacking the Dobie some more, biting, and scratching his fur. Ronno didn't have enough muscle in his Dobie body to fight back.

During the attack, Oliver, Tito, Frances, Einstein, and Georgette came in the houseboat and saw the dogfight. They'd all stopped the Terrier and Doberman from killing each other and tried to separate the two dogs before it gotten much worse. Ronno left Fagin's Houseboat and The Barge losing the fight to Dodger; bloody, limping and seriously hurt.

While he tries to fled for his life and left The Barge before he ends up getting killed; a furious, teary-eyed, and upset Dodger was pissed off, emotionally heartbroken, and severely angry at Rita whose knocked out cold after that bitch-slap. The Artful Terrier took one look at her and viciously snapped at her and walked out of the houseboat to cool off his angered temper. The gang blocked Rita from talking to Dodger who was too angry to talk to her.

Dodger - "You fucking cunt! Why, Rita?! Why are you so fucking hateful?!"

Rita - "Dodger, wait a fucking minute! How dare you fucking hit me?!"

Oliver - "No, Rita! You leave him alone; you've done enough damage."

Rita - "After he bitch-slap the shit outta me, Kid?! No, I'm not going to leave him alone! I got something to say to that son-of-a-bitch!"

Georgette - "Rita, if you wanna get to Dodger, you'll have to go through all of us."

Dodger was outside the houseboat in anger and emotionally upset at Rita. He was so heartbroken and pissed off, he didn't want to look at her, speak to her, and touch her. But it isn't the only time Rita cheated on Dodger.

Two Months Earlier...

Rita was caught cheating on Dodger while getting double penetrated by two rich Dobermans. Dodger felt so betrayed, angered, and hurt, he walked out on her and stayed a few days at The Foxworth Residence on 5th Avenue where his best friend Oliver lives.

More than a week later, Rita went to The Foxworth Townhouse to see Dodger. The two had a small conversation and made a promise that she would never cheat again, said she was deeply sorry and ask Dodger for forgiveness... and he did.

After Rita made that promise to Dodger, He took her back, kiss and made up and the mates had make-up sex that evening. Unfortunately, it would be the last time Dodger would ever have sex with Rita. But after weeks of her infidelity and unfaithfulness... the reconciliation didn't last. After they'd reconciled, Rita was back to her cheating ways when she started seeing Ronno behind Dodger's back.

Fast Forward to Later That Afternoon...

After the violent brawl between the Terrier and the Doberman, the two had a heated argument while the gang was outside hearing the fight and worrying about Dodger.

Dodger - "Why the hell did you do this to me, Rita?"

Rita - "Dodger, I'm so sorry, but the past number of weeks since we made up; you just weren't there when I needed you the most! Ronno and I are now in love, and I'm leaving you for him."

Dodger - "You're fucking what?!"

Rita - "I said I'm fucking leaving you for Ronno, and the two of us are moving to Detroit... Motor City. I've found that special someone that will be there for me and love me. And Dodger, you should understand that I have my reasons of cheating on you."

"Dodger, I don't want to wait around for you, I'm goddamn sick and tired of waiting for you. Ronno's cock is so hard, he'd fucked me so good. And he'd made me cum. Not once, not twice... three times. The fact of the matter is this, Ronno is a wonderful lover."

Dodger - "You screwing around behind my back, fucking that asshole, and you can say he fucked you good and raw, he's making you cum a lot and he's a wonderful lover?... BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!"

In angered, and furious mood, Dodger said this to Rita.

Dodger - "Rita, you have fucking disgraced and humiliated me and the gang altogether. I wouldn't want to touch you; I wouldn't want to dirty my paws around you. I don't want to be contaminated by you. I want you to get your fucking cheating bitch ass out of the Barge, the fuck out of my life, and the fuck out of New York; because as of now and forever, we're officially over... WE ARE FUCKING OVER! FUCK YOU, RITA!"

Rita - "FUCK YOU TOO ASSHOLE! WE ARE FUCKING DONE ANYWAY! I'M GONE! I'm fucking leaving you! I don't need you, I don't need the fucking gang, and I don't need this shit! Fuck you, Dodger! And one more thing... Ronno's fucking cock is bigger than yours too!"

Moments later, Rita moved out of Fagin's houseboat, left him to be with Ronno and moved further to Detroit. Dodger felt so betrayed, heartbroken, sad, and hurt; he'd cut her out of his life forever. His friends were saddened for The Artful Terrier and personally mad at Rita for betraying Dodger and leaving him, they had leave him alone and gave him all the privacy and all the space he heeds. Dodger went into tears and overcome with sadness over Rita's choice to be with her Dobie lover and leave New York.

The Artful Terrier is now a single canine must now try to find a mate who he wants to spend the rest of his life with and want someone to love him for being herself as much as he wants to love her for being herself.

Later that same day in Nashville...

Dixie and her husband-mate, Cash lived at The Claybourne Residence on 1358 Page Road which is home to legendary country singer Rayna Wyatt-Claybourne, her husband, Deacon and their two daughters, Madison (Maddie) and Daphne. They'd been living with the Claybourne's since the fall of 2009.

Four Months Ago...

Rayna and Deacon took Cash and Dixie into their homes so they could have a better place to stay, while Lyle Snodgrass (The owner of The Singin' Strays) continues to take care of not only the country crooning couple, but three other members of The Strays (Floyd, Waylon, and Granny Rose) staying on as owner-manager of the country group.

Fast Forward to Later That Morning...

During their busy time in their careers, Cash and Dixie wanted to rekindle their romance by going on an incredibly special martial date. The two mates were already planning on having a nice, romantic dinner for two at one of Nashville's finest restaurants at The Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

Dixie and her husband, Cash were planning on spending more time together, and the two mates had already begun to made personal plans on starting a family in the mid-spring after their concert tours were over. One morning that January 13th, Cash had to work on new music for The Strays next album. But at around 15 minutes to the ten o'clock hour, Cash called Dixie that morning and told her to be ready for their date night after he finished his rehearsal later that evening.

Dixie - "Hello, Darlin'."

Cash - "Hey, Dix. It's Me."

Dixie - "Hey, Cashie. How you've been, Baby?"

Cash - "Ugh, a little bit busy but more energized for our romantic date tonight, Lover."

Dixie - "Don't you fucking get tired on me, Cash. You and I have been waiting for this date since last week."

Cash - "I know, Baby. We haven't been alone together for months ever since we'd moved to Rayna's house about four months ago."

Dixie - "Yeah... I can't wait for tonight, and I'm more than ready for you."

Cash giving Dixie that sexual growl, and she gets the giggles when he does that growl. But Cash started to groan painfully because he was feeling a little pale while at work and Dixie was now began to worry.

Dixie - "Cashie, are you alright?"

Cash - "Yeah. I'm fine, Baby. I just had a little stomach problem, that's all."

Dixie - "Oh, I hope to God its nothing serious. Cash, I seriously don't want to lose you."

Cash - "You're not going to lose me. You are my bride, my wife and my everything, Dixie... and I love you, so much."

Dixie - "And I love you too, Darlin'."

Cash - "Anyway, I hope you'll be ready for our romantic date tonight. Go ahead and make the dinner reservations for two, but later tonight... I want some dessert, and I'm not just talking about cakes and ice cream... I want to taste your sweet pussy for dessert."

Dixie - "Oh, Cashie! You're so nasty when you talk about my pussy, but I'll be more than ready for tonight. Besides, if we're going to start a family together, we got some work to do."

Cash - "I know you and will be ready for that, Baby. Okay Dix, I got to get back to work and start on this number. I'll be home later this evening, see you tonight."

Dixie - "Okay, Cashie. I'll see you tonight. I'll be waiting for you, Darlin.' I love you."

Cash - "I love you too, Dix. Bye, baby. You stay beautiful for me."

Dixie - "I will, Cashie. Bye, Darlin'."

Hard to believe, the country crooning Bloodhound doesn't even know it would be the last telephone conversation he'd made with Dixie.

A half hour later, Dixie was calling one of her favorite Restaurants at The Gaylord Opryland to see if there's any open reservations for tonight, and the maître D' at the restaurant informed Dixie that they have one available later tonight at around 7:30pm, and Dixie happily accepted the reservations for her date with Cash.

After she finished booking the reservations, she went to take a nice hot bath for only fifteen minutes and dreaming about their special night together. She even started masturbating by feeling all six of her nipples from her fur and body and fingering her pussy from her paws and started moaning and panting.

Next, Dixie started fucking herself when she stuck one of her favorite dog dildos in her vulva and anus all together and continues to start moaning passionate while masturbating. After she finished masturbating while taking a nice warm bath, she started drying off by shaking

all the water off her fur, then she spraying on some of her best perfume and getting all set for her date with her hubby-mate.

Meanwhile...

Cash along with members of the Singin' Strays was at Soundstage Studios on 10 Circle S in Downtown Nashville collaborating with his owner-manager, Lyle on new material for some new music on their next album. He along with three members of The Strays had plans to finish a few rehearsals and batch of newly written songs before going on the night on the town with his wife-mate.

However, for the past few weeks, Cash has not been himself lately. Cash was feeling ill recently and had some minor health issues on and off for the past couple of weeks. His friends and members of The Strays including Dixie were genuinely concerned and worried about him and his health. They've asked him many times to see a veterinarian doctor and get himself checked, but he said he's fine and he repeatedly refused to go to the vet.

Somehow things were going smoothly for Cash at the recording studio. He seemed to be upbeat as usual and more focused on his music, but all that and his life was sadly about to change. At around 11:08am while continually working on his next number for their new album, Cash felt ill and dizzy, then suddenly... he quickly collapsed on the floor. He was not responding to any command and wasn't breathing.

When Lyle saw Cash was unresponsive, he rushed over to the crooning Bloodhound and came to his aid while one of the producers called 911 for help. Members of The Singin' Strays were worried and panicked about Cash, they told Zelda to call Dixie at The Claybourne House. Lyle quickly did CPR on the Bloodhound as well as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but it didn't work.

Producer #1 - "What's happening to Cash, Lyle?"

Lyle Snodgrass - "I don't know, he isn't breathing. He's not responding to any of my commands! Come on, Cash; please breathe! Somebody call 911?!"

Producer #2 - "Somebody call an ambulance, and hurry!"

Waylon - "What happened, is Cash responding or what?!"

Floyd - "He isn't breathing, Lyle's doing CPR on him, but he's not answering to any commands. Nothing!"

Waylon - "Oh, Jesus! Somebody better call Dixie, now!"

Granny Rose - "Oh, God. This is not good; this is NOT fucking good! Zelda, this is an emergency; call Dixie at the Rayna's house now, and hurry, hurry!"

Zelda - "I'm calling her right now!"

About eight minutes later, an ambulance arrived at the recording studio to take Cash to the Hospital. Meanwhile, back at The Claybourne House, while Dixie was prepping for their date, the phone rang for Dixie. And it was her personal assistant, Zelda.

Dixie - "Hello, Darlin."

Zelda - "Dixie, it's Zelda."

Dixie - "Hey, Zelda. How are you doing my friend?"

Zelda - "Not so good. Dixie, you need to get to the Hospital, and I mean now!"

Dixie - "Why, what happened, Zelda?"

Zelda - "Cash was in the middle of recording a new single at the studio, when out of nowhere he collapsed. Lyle says Cash is not responding, he's not breathing."

Dixie - "Oh, My God! How bad is it?!"

Zelda - "We don't know, that's what we're trying to find out."

Dixie - "Are Waylon, Floyd and Granny Rose there?"

Zelda - "Lyle and the gang are at the Hospital, and Bucky called Rayna about a minute ago, and Jeff called Deacon as well. They're on their way as well. The Nashville Vet Hospital is closed due to construction and renovation, so we're over at Tri-Star Centennial Hospital Downtown."

Dixie - "Jesus Fucking Hell Christ! Anything Zelda, anything my Cashie needs I'm on my way right now."

Zelda - "Alright Dix. Meet us there and hurry!"

Ten minutes later, Dixie arrived at Tri-Star Centennial Hospital in Downtown Nashville to see about her husband-mate at the brand-new, state-of-the-art, animal hospital in the Red Wing of Tri-Star Centennial. The country crooning saluki went inside the back of the Hospital to avoid the crowds of media.

When the news came out of Cash's health issue, a massive sworn of photographers and reporters were camped outside the emergency room of the Hospital waiting for an update on the country crooning Bloodhound. She along with her friends, their mistress and master; Rayna and Deacon and Rayna's friends/managers/producers; Bucky Dawes and Jeff Fordham were standing by their side waiting on news from the doctor about Cash.

Dixie was hoping and praying for some good news about her husband-mate, but unfortunately for her... their special day had made a turned for the worst. The vet doctor came out of the emergency room, and they'd received the news that they along with their friends and families just didn't want to hear.

The leader and lead singer of The Singin' Strays; Cash had unexpectedly died at 11:32am. The country crooning bloodhound had succumbed to severe heartworm disease. Many of Cash's friends and colleagues were left numb and heartbroken as well as members of The Singin' Strays like Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose were overcome with shock and sadness that their friend and leader was dead.

As for Dixie, she was emotionally in shocked and disbelief over the loss of her longtime mate-husband. She was so severely heartbroken, devastated and overcome with tears, anger, and sadness with her mate's death, she fell to the floor and started screaming, crying, and sobbing her eyes out. Dixie was overcome with emotion and heartbreak, she went into a secured room in the Hospital where she grieved, howled, cried, and sobbed in private.

When the news broke that Cash had died that morning, country music stars and fans all over the city of Nashville and across the country were in complete shocked and sadden to hear about the death of the lead singer and leader of The Singin' Strays. Country fans went to churches and said prayers for members of the country group as well as Dixie. The Grand Ole Opry was silenced that night and immediately canceled the evening's performances.

It was all over country radio, local and national television, internet, and social media of Cash's passing. In a few hours later that afternoon, fans were also at music stores buying their albums. Many of fans listening to Cash's voice on CDs, MP3s, radio stations were playing Singin' Strays songs, and people were watching his music videos on CMT, GAC, and on YouTube.

And finally, country music fans were posting messages of prayers and condolences to Dixie and members of The Singin' Strays on their Facebook page by paying tribute to the leader of the popular country group. Country music celebrities from young rising stars of today to legends also took time to pay tribute to Cash and offer prayers and condolences as well.

Later that night...

Back at The Claybourne House, Dixie was all alone crying and sobbing in the bedroom they once shared together. She was looking at photos and playing their home movies of the two of them together in their careers and in their personal lives. And when she hears his singing voice in her home movies, she continues to break drown crying knowing that he's no longer with her and The Strays.

Zelda was so emotionally sad to see her friend and boss in an emotional wreck. She felt sad for her friend as she walks into her room and comforts her on the bed for support, and the two hugged emotionally together and cling to their paws together in prayer.

Ten minutes later, Dixie's family; Buster (Dixie's Father), his wife, Dalva (Dixie's Mother), their daughter, Daisy (Dixie's Sister) and their son, Raffles (Dixie's Brother) shown up unexpectedly at The Claybourne House at around the nine o'clock hour that evening to see about their country crooning daughter.

They've wanted to be with Dixie at a very emotional time. Buster, Dalva, Raffles, Daisy and their master, Gideon Claybourne (Deacon's Father), Beverly O'Connor and Harley Claybourne (Deacon's Sisters), Tim and J.W. (Deacon's Brother's) and Scarlett (Beverly's daughter/Deacon's Niece) were welcomely greeted by Rayna and Deacon when they walked in the door.

After the West family were already settle into The Claybourne House, Dalva, Raffles and Daisy were having a personal conversation with both Rayna and Deacon while Buster walked upstairs to Dixie's room to see his heartbroken daughter.

Dixie - "Zelda?"

Buster - "No, Dixie... Just Me."

Dixie - "Daddy?"

Buster - "Hey, little girl... it's so good to see you."

Dixie - "Oh, Daddy... I'm so glad you're here. I'm so heartbroken and alone."

Buster - "I know you are, Honey. I'm so sorry about Cash. He was such a good dog."

Dixie - "How did you hear about Cashie, Dad?"

Buster - "Your friend, Zelda called us about eight hours ago when my master along with your mother, sister, brother, and I saw the news of Cash's death on TV. So, we've immediately took the red eye to Nashville. Your mother and I along with your siblings were in shocked and saddened to hear he had died today."

Dixie - "Me too, Daddy. I'm already overcome with tears of sadness now that he's gone... but it's so good to see you and the rest of the family here... where's Mama, Daisy and Raffles?"

Buster - "Your mother along with your brother and sister are downstairs with your mistress and master. They'll be up in a couple of minutes to see you. I know they'll be glad to see you. Dixie, I know that this has been an incredibly sad and difficult time for you right now. And I want you to know that your mother, Daisy, Raffles, and I are going to be right here with you if you need anything, okay?"

Dixie *crying* - "I really appreciate that, Daddy... thank you... I can't believe he's gone, Daddy."

Buster - "I know, Dixie... I know... and so sorry."

Dixie *sobs* - "My Cashie's gone... gone... it's all over."

Buster - "Shh... Shh..."

Dixie *crying* - "I got nothing without him... Oh, God!"

Dixie and her father hugged each other emotionally and cling together with their paws and said a prayer for Cash.

January 13th was a difficult, emotional, and sad day for two dogs from two different cities. One Terrier was betrayed and angered over his now ex-mate's cheating, and one Saluki was sad and heartbroken over her late husband-mate's unexpected death.

Five Days Later...

Monday; January 18th, the day of Cash's funeral. For many country music stars, members of The Singin' Strays and country music fans across the country; that was the hardest and the most difficult day of all because they had to finally faced reality that the country crooning Bloodhound was gone from them forever. Dixie was staring at her late husband-mate's casket for nearly a half hour. She touches her paw on the Cash's casket and says farewell to her longtime mate and leader of the Singin' Strays.

Cash's funeral took place at the famous Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. During the memorial service and on to the gravesite; Dixie, Granny Rose, Waylon, and Floyd as well as Rayna, Deacon, Luke Wheeler, so many of who's who in country music and in the world of entertainment saw so many signs of their respect for Cash from fans across the country and around the world. It was an emotional and bittersweet day filled with moments of sadness, moments of tears... and yes, the moments of joy.

After the funeral service, Cash was laid to rest at Nashville's Pet Cemetery where a private burial took place that emotional day. Dixie sang a special gospel hymn for her now late husband-mate. And when she sang that hymn, there wasn't one dry eye at the funeral. Dixie was overcome with sadness and tears in her eyes now that she'd laid her husband-mate to rest.

Pulling together in times of need and keeping The Singin' Strays together, that was Cash's job... But who's going to do it now that he's gone?

During the burial, the faithful country music fans made up signs and said they'll miss Cash terribly. They fretted and worried about Dixie, and three other members of The Singin' Strays, and they had a Kleenex ready when a local Nashville TV reporter needed.

The country music fans from here in Nashville, The Mid-South and across the country and the world who stood outside the pet cemetery fence just wanted to catch a glimpse from afar to be close to Cash on the day he was buried. One country music fan said to the reporter off-air that once Dixie, the family, and the dignitaries left, she planned to go inside and say goodbye.

After the funeral, Dixie, her friends, and family were all gathered at The Claybourne House to celebrate the life of Cash Hound. They were all here to reminisce, have a few laughs, lend each other's support, share some memories, and tell stories about the bloodhound after a whole day of mourning.

Meanwhile, Dixie was sitting on the living room couch sad and heartbroken that she had buried her husband-mate earlier that mid-afternoon. Her parents: Buster and Dalva went to console and talk with her in time of need.

Dalva - "Dixie... How you're holding up, love?"

Dixie - "I'm trying to keep both my head and spirit high, mom."

Dalva - "I can have someone fix you something to eat or drink. You haven't eaten since the funeral."

Dixie - "Thanks, Mama. But I'm not hungry and thirsty right now. Mama, I want to thank you, Daddy, Raffles, and Daisy for being here for me in this emotional and difficult time. I appreciated it a lot. These past five days were a living fucking hell for me. And I do want to thank you all for being there for me."

Buster - "Anytime, Dix... Dixie, I know it's been very, very hard for you these past couple of days since Cash's unexpected passing, but your mother and I want you to-"

Dixie - "Daddy, you and Mama don't have to explain or make any excuses for me. I know that one time you and Cash didn't get along ever since we'd been together... I understand that... but I know what loneliness is like."

Bucky Dawes (Rayna's Friend/Manager) - Hey Dixie, how about playing your guitar and sing for all of us here?"

Dixie - "No thanks, Bucky. I don't feel like it right now... Mama, Daddy... if you two need me, I'll be outside in the backyard patio. I need to get some air."

Dalva & Buster - "(B) Okay, Baby. Look, Dixie, promise us one thing? Don't sit here and get more depressed. (D) And don't sit here and be too sad, Dixie. Cash is in a better place... please, be happy for him and celebrate his life."

Dixie - "I know I will. I'm trying... but this is the hardest and longest road that I had to follow. Me being on my own without him."

Buster - "Okay. Hug-Hug-Hug?"

Buster and Dalva gave Dixie an emotional hug after a going through five days of mourning and hell with the death of her husband-mate, the leader of The Strays.

Ten Minutes Later...

Dixie was alone with her thoughts and memories of her mate; she was sitting outside to the backyard patio without saying another word.

Then, Daisy and Raffles went outside the Claybourne's backyard patio to get some air when they saw their sister all alone by the pool and in tears after a very emotional day.

Daisy - "Dixie... Are you all right, love?"

Dixie - "Yeah, Baby Sister, I'll be fine. It's just that on an overcast day... It's still an emotionally sad time..."

Raffles - "Well, mom and dad along with your masters, friends and many country stars are inside reminiscing about Cash, so if you want to be alone, we understand, okay?"

Dixie - "Yeah, that's fine. Thanks guys."

Daisy - "Mom, Dad and the both of us wanted to help you and support you in any way, but uh..."

Dixie - "I know. Granny Rose and Zelda told me both your reasons and you two along with mama and daddy were right. I remember one time about three years ago, Cash and Daddy never got to see eye-to-eye ever since we'd been together, but they had worked it out. I'm going to need all the comfort, help and support I need from the both of you as well as Mama and Daddy."

Raffles - "We'll be there for you, Sis... Dixie, you gotta know how much Daisy and I care for you, and we love you so very much. We just can't stand to see you suffer like this so..."

Dixie *crying* - "Last week, when Cashie was alive... he was so happy, guys... he was so happy. We were planning to have a night out on the town after dinner. We were also planning on starting a family that same night. You've known how long we've both waited for that. He told me he was coming home that evening... he was coming home... I just don't fucking understand why he unexpectedly died... I just don't fucking understand it at all."

Raffles and Daisy hugged an emotional and heartbroken Dixie for comfort, love, and support. The trio emotionally hugged and held their paws together in prayer for Cash. For Dixie and her siblings; Raffles and Daisy, they're together a family, but they're not biological siblings... they're three adopted siblings coming from three different breeds.

Many Years Ago...

Dixie's adopted parents, Buster is a Bloodhound, and Dalva is a Rough Collie. Their master, Gideon Claybourne (Deacon's Father) took Dixie, Raffles and Daisy into their home when they were infant puppies. Dixie is a Saluki, Raffles is a Border Collie, and Daisy is a Rough Collie. And Buster and Dalva welcomed the puppies into their lives as their adopted parents and raised them as their own. And they've been together as a family ever since.

Fast Forward to Later That Same Day...

While Dixie, Raffles and Daisy went back inside the house, Lyle along with The Opry's talent scout Winchell P. Bickerstaff and Marshall Evans; the CEO of Edgehill Republic announcing to the media outside The Claybourne Estate that The Singin' Strays are planning to take time off for a while on where they're going to continue performing on tour and to continue working on their upcoming fourth album.

Marshall, Lyle, and Winchell were not given full permission by Edgehill Republic President; Henry Benton, as well as co-managers; Bucky Dawes, Jeff Fordham, and members of The Singin' Strays to announced their scheduled concert appearances. And Jeff discovered that Lyle, Winchell, and Marshall lied to the press about The Strays going on tour soon knowing they can't continue with Cash lying six feet under.

When Dixie heard about the announcement coming from Marshall, Lyle, and Winchell, she was furiously yet emotionally upset and severely pissed at her now ex-owner/master for dishonoring Cash's memory by lying to the press. But this was not the first time Dixie was severely pissed off at her now ex-master.

Five days ago, after Cash's untimely death, Dixie wanted to keep the red scarf that Cash had worn all his life, but her now ex-owner/master, Lyle Snodgrass who's selfish as he was, had kept the red scarf for himself instead of giving it to her in his memory.

A few minutes later, after Marshall, Lyle and Winchell went the media and told that complete lie about they'll be back performing soon... Dixie and three members of The Singin' Strays told her mistress, Rayna, their co-managers; Bucky, Jeff, and her friend, Zelda personally that she along with Floyd, Waylon and Granny Rose had unanimously decided that they're going to retire from performing and call it quits as a country group effective immediately.

The reason The Singin' Strays decided to quit singing and quietly retire from performing is because they can't go on continuing making music without their leader and lead singer. And the second reason they're quitting is because they've fed up with the mistreatment from Marshall and record execs from Edgehill, and they've personally vowed to never work for Marshall Evans, period.

Third, Dixie, Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose also mention that they're done with Lyle and Winchell, and they don't want any part of being in their lives and collaborating with them in future projects. And they also vowed that they'll never wanted to see and speak to both Lyle Snodgrass and Winchell P. Bickerstaff ever again.

And not only that The Singin' Strays had called it quits on their own terms, but their untitled fourth album they were working on will not happen. After The Strays told Jeff, Rayna, and Bucky that they're officially quitting working for Edgehill Republic, they've personally asked Rayna and Jeff to have Edgehill Republic's President; Henry Benton to release The Singin' Strays from their contract.

The Strays request to Rayna was granted and was approved by Henry. After all the requests were approved, Rayna, Jeff and Henry made the official announcement to the press outside The Claybourne Estate that The Singin' Strays are officially no more. They've officially been released from their contract at their request, they've quietly retired from performing and had ceased all scheduled performances.

Henry also clarified to the media about the misunderstanding and misinformation of what Winchell and Lyle said to the media about The Strays next album and tour schedules. The President of Edgehill Republic officially announced that there won't be a fourth album because it's been officially scrapped, and all concert tours and appearances are officially canceled.

For the four members of The Singin' Strays, it was an end of an era for the country group who worked long and hard to get their way from performing in county and state fairs to the top of the country charts for four years. And now with the death of Cash Hound, The Strays can't move forward with their careers and their music without their leader and lead singer.

Two Days Later...

After Cash was laid to rest, Dixie was about to go into hiding to be away from both the spotlight and the public eye and staying with The Claybourne Family in Nashville while her parents and siblings planning to go back to their Ranch House with their master, Gideon in her hometown in Austin/Round Rock, TX.

Dixie and her personal assistant Zelda even asked her close friends, members of the press and her loyal fans for the privacy she needs in a very personal and challenging time for all the reasons. Depressed and heartbroken over the loss of Cash and the end of The Singin' Strays, Dixie took all the time she needed to decide on wherever she'll continue her music career or quit the music business period.

Before she went back home on Page Road, Dixie went to her favorite spot in the forest where she and Cash spent most of their personal time together as a couple, and as heartbroken and lonely as she was, her life would never be the same without her bloodhound husband-mate.

An hour later, Dixie's brother and sister, Raffles and Daisy spotted her at the Nashville Pet Cemetery staring at Cash's grave. The two began talking about what's next for herself and for her future.

Raffles - "Hey, Good Morning, Sis."

Dixie - "Hey, Good Morning. How you two know I was here?"

Daisy - "Zelda along with your friends/members of The Strays told us we could find you here."

Dixie - "Yeah... just keep lookin' at the headstone on Cash's gravesite, tryin' to wrap my mind around the fact that I... buried the love of my life two days ago... you know, if it weren't for Cash, I would have never left Austin."

Raffles - "Is that right?"

Dixie - "Yeah. You know how he could be... Fuckin' pushy as hell."

Raffles *Soft Laughter* - "Yes."

Daisy *Soft Laughter* - "He really could be pushy and bossy sometimes, that's for sure."

Dixie - "True... True. So, what do I do now, guys?"

Raffles - "You live, and that's... that's hard. I know it's going to be hard for you that's for sure, and I am not even gonna lie to you about that. But... we close the chapter, start turning the new page... start a writing new chapter, and... we move on."

Dixie - "Always the rock."

Daisy - "You gonna be all right, Dix?"

Dixie - "Yeah, Guys. I'll be okay. I just needed to be alone with my Cashie for a couple minutes more."

Raffles - "Okay, Dix."

Dixie - "Hey, Daisy, Raffles... I'll see you both and both Mom and Dad later today before you go back home to Austin."

Daisy - "You bet, Dix. Keep your head high for both of us. We love you."

Dixie - "I'm trying... thanks guys. I love you, too."

Raffles - "Hey, Dixie... You're our favorite sister, and we love you ... but no matter what happens here and now, or in the future... we'll forever and always be a family."

Dixie, her brother, Raffles and her sister, Daisy hugged each other for support and caring in her time a sorrow and need. She would count on Raffles, Daisy, her parents, and her entire family to be there for her if there was anything she would need in a difficult time in her life.

Later that same day, Winchell P. Bickerstaff was unanimously fired as the Opry's talent scout by Grand Ole Opry's board of directors and was remove from the Opry House by security, while Edgehill Republic's CEO; Marshall Evans was fired unexpectedly by Henry Benton and Edgehill executives as well. Finally, Lyle Snodgrass was also unexpectedly let go from the record label. All three firings were effective immediately.

After their firings, Winchell had privately left Nashville and moved back home to Memphis after he was let go from The Opry, while Marshall left Nashville and took his talents to Los Angeles where he took a job as a talent manager for a celebrity PR firm.

And Lyle had no choice but to turn over full ownership of Dixie to Rayna Wyatt-Claybourne as well as full ownership of Waylon, Floyd and Granny Rose to Rayna and Deacon's close friend; country singer/songwriter Luke Wheeler which was order by the judge. After Lyle turned the dogs over to Rayna and Luke, he quietly disappeared from the Nashville music scene and moved back to his native home state of Oklahoma.

Snodgrass was never heard from again.

One Month Later...

Back in New York that one morning, it was a quiet day back at Fagin's Houseboat and Dodger was still upset and angry after overcoming the most humiliating, yet difficult time in his life. He was depressed, lonely, angry, and sad over his now ex-mate leaving him.

Dodger was so depressed; he didn't speak for over a month. The Artful Terrier was all alone and heartbroken without his mate. This was the second time in his life that Dodger haven't been himself since Fagin's death and left him and the gang had to survive on their own without their master. And ever since Fagin's passing a year ago and his breakup from Rita a month ago, he began to realize and understand that his friends are the only family he has.

Later that same morning; Tito, Francis, Einstein, Georgette, and especially Oliver came by the Houseboat to offered all the love, support and encouragement to Dodger as well as cheering him up. And the gang had to let him know he's not alone and they're always and forever his family.

Oliver and the gang had some encouraging words to say to their best friend and leader, and it came from the heart.

Oliver - "Hey Dodger, do you remember you once told me; you're part of the gang and the gang means family? Those words still hold true to this day. You've risked our whole lives to keep this gang together every day and night. And if there's anything we can do to help, we'll be there for you. We'll forever and always be your family. Because when got your pals... you got all you need."

Dodger - "You know something, Kid... you're absitively so right about that... thanks so much, Kid. Hey guys, thanks for trying to help me out, reaching out, and cheering me up. I haven't been myself for over a month ever since Rita cheated on me. And not only she left me, but the no-good, back-stabbing bitch left all of us. And it's been a rough, challenging, and difficult time for myself, and I want to thank all of you for being there for me."

Einstein and Tito - (E) "We hear you; Dodger and we'll always have your back through thick and thin. (T) Amen to that. We love you, Dodger. You're family. You're blood."

Francis - "Hear, Hear. Dodger, ever since Fagin's passing, you've remained our primary leader... our preeminent benefactor. And we'll always be with you and by your side."

Georgette - "Same here. And Dodger, I never said this to my friends, but this is a first and I'm only saying it to you. If you ever have the time to have a personal conversation with me, or maybe have the time to mate with me... the doors are open if you ever wanted to talk... or to mate."

Dodger - "It's good to know, Georgette. Thank You... I really mean it, it's good to know. Thank you, guys. All of you, I love you all."

Georgette - "So, Dodger, what's next for you; what are you going to do now?"

Dodger - "I don't know. With all this drama and the bullshit happening in my life, I feel like going away... I just want to get out of New York for a while just to clear my head. I'm thinking about taking a private vacation for myself. You see, I don't know if you all know this, but I have a cousin I know from way back. They used to live here in New York, but ten years ago they've moved to The Mid-South to start a new adventure."

Oliver - "And who would that be, Dodger?"

Dodger - "That would be my cousin, JD, and his wife, Bella. They're currently living in Tennessee. So, I was thinking about leaving New York for a few weeks to catch up with my cousin while taking the delights of the countryside. So, what this means that I'll be away for a few weeks... maybe a little longer than that."

Georgette - "Tennessee?"

Dodger - "Yeah, Tennessee. The Volunteer State, The Mid-South, Music City, The Opry, Titans Football, Country Music and more."

Oliver - "We don't know anybody in Tennessee."

Dodger - "But I do, Kid. My cousin, his wife and their friends have a beautiful residential home in Nashville. And he told me that if I'm ever in the Nashville area, I come by his house to see him and stay if I want, and he also said I'm more than welcome to his house anytime."

Einstein - "Well, when are you leaving, Dodger?"

Dodger - "I was thinking... this Saturday. I'll be gone as early as Saturday Morning, and I won't be in Tennessee until early as Sunday. And Kid, when I leave this weekend, you're in charge of the gang while I'm away, so please keep the gang together while I'm gone."

Oliver - "Okay, Dodge. For you I will."

The gang gave Dodger a big hug full of love and support they could give him after all the hell he had been through in his life. And soon, Dodger will be able to find himself for who he is and what he sees and believes.

Three Days Later...

Dodger was up and refreshed and getting ready to take a quiet, yet personal vacation for himself. He's waited for the right time to get out of town and go find a quiet place outside of New York where he can find himself, enjoy the wide-open spaces, and maybe find true love again.

But before The Artful Terrier hits the road to Tennessee, he went outside The Foxworth Residence on 5th Avenue and said his goodbyes to the gang and promised to be back in a few weeks. Dodger and the gang spotted a four-door Chevy truck going to Nashville that's leaving in a matter of minutes. The Artful Terrier was nervous but more enthusiastic of getting out of town and going on vacation on his own.

Einstein - "Well, there's your ride, Dodger. It's all set."

Dodger - "There's nothing like first class. This is it. Alright, I'm off to Tennessee. Now remember guys, Oliver is in charge. Now, please guys stay out of trouble and whatever the Kid says, consider it an order. I'll be back fully refreshed, recharged, and revived. I'll see you all in a few weeks. Later everybody!"

The Gang - (Tito, Francis, Einstein, Georgette, Oliver) - "(F) Bye Dodger, have a good trip. (T) Audios Dodger and come home soon. (E) Have a good trip and good life. (G) Be safe out there while on the road, Dodger. And don't worry, we'll watch the Homefront for you. (O) Say hello to those Middle Tennessee bitches, huh... Don't forget, motherfuck 'em every chance you get, huh."

Dodger sneakily climbed into the back of the Chevy truck going to Nashville. Even though it's a 13 ½ hour drive to Nashville, he'd wave goodbye to his friends and promised to be back sooner than later. While on the open road and feeling the wind blowing in his face, Dodger began to meditate on his thoughts while trying to find himself. The Artful Terrier began visiting places he'd never been.

The truck made stops to Roanoke, VA and Charlotte, NC where Dodger managed to go to local rest areas where he can eat, drink and doing his business. After a long twenty-minute break, the driver got back on his truck and was on the move, and Dodger climbed back into the truck bed as they drove off the rest area, get back on the highway as they headed to Tennessee.

The next morning, after only a day and a half cross-country on the open road, Dodger was woken up to a new day as finally made it Tennessee as the truck crossed the state line. The driver had made one more stop and that a local gas station in Knoxville where Dodger quickly scrape for breakfast while making a short visit to the Marble City.

Later, Dodger was flirting with two of East Tennessee's finest bitches while on a brief short stay in Knoxville. But the truck was about to leave, and The Artful Terrier raced towards the truck-bed and led on to Music City.

Finally, after a long two ½ hour drive from Knoxville, and after a day and a half on the road, Dodger have finally arrived in Nashville, The Country Music Capital of the World. As Dodger climbed out of the back of the truck, he could smell the clean southern air of Music City and Middle Tennessee. This was the very first time Dodger ever went out of the state for a little rest and relaxation.

When the Artful Terrier took his first look at the city of Nashville, he kept thinking that it's a city full of redneck and hillbillies with southern accents, but he was wrong. Just like all metropolitan cities across America; Nashville, TN is filled with tourists from across the country and the world and good community minded people. He was awfully glad that he talked himself into going out of town for a while.

While Dodger was getting his first taste of Music City, he was walking around Downtown Nashville on the sidewalk when he sees a female dog passing by with her mistress, he went on top of the truck, flirting with the female dog, who in return rejects him.

Dodger - "Hey, Beautiful."

Female Dog - "Huh?"

Dodger *Kissing Sounds* - "Hiya..."

Female Dog - "Oh, Fresh! Hmm!"

Dodger - "Ooh. La-De-Da."

For about almost an hour, Dodger took a personal look at the City of Nashville for the first time, and he'd never seen anything like it. Later that same day, He'd visited the famous Grand Ole Opry for the very first time and took a tour of the legendary music venue including the backstage area, as well as the main stage. It's no wonder why they didn't call The Opry "Home of American Music" and "Country's Most Famous Stage" for nothing.

After his first look around at the Opry, they were so many other famous landmarks Dodger visited. The Artful Terrier visited The Country Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, Shelby Street (Now: Siegenthaler) Pedestrian Bridge, The District, The Music City Walk of Fame, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Bicentennial Capitol, Mall State Park, Music City Center, and finally The Bluebird Café.

And Dodger sees in his first visit in Music City are the community minded citizens who live in Nashville are more than just people, they're families, friends and neighbors reaching out to each other around the Mid-South and on the Middle Tennessee backroads.

Later that afternoon, Dodger walked inside The Bluebird Café for the first time and watch current and future country performers entertain the crowd with new music and stories about their songs. Several country stars like Garth Brooks, Pam Tillis, and Taylor Swift have been discovered there. Some performers are established singer/songwriters, and others perform songs written by other artists. The Bluebird receives over 70,000 visitors annually.

One of the employees at The Bluebird was nice enough to offered Dodger a few dog biscuits and a cold drink to enjoy the show. After watching the matinee performance, Dodger saw a poster of The Singin' Strays. And as the Artful Terrier started staring at the picture of the country group, he soon discovers that Cash was wearing the same red scarf Dodger's been wearing for years in his dog life, but Cash worn his scarf life a bandana.

Dodger touches a picture of Cash with his paw in memory of the late Bloodhound country crooner of The Strays, although he'd never met him and/or never heard of him. Dodger will continue to wear his own original red scarf in memory of Cash. Finally, Dodger was continuing to look at the Café's pictures of past and present country stars; one of them is Dixie's owners; Rayna Wyatt-Claybourne and her husband, Deacon Claybourne from the mid-1990s.

After spending nearly a half-hour at The Bluebird Café listening to some great performers, he was ready to go see his cousin, JD. He learns that his cousin and his mate-wife live on Chickering Road, but he was having a hard time finding where his cousin lives in the Nashville area.

Dodger is not used to getting lost in the area, but he finally managed to find his way to his cousin's house. After more than two hours of touring Music City, Dodger finally went to visit his favorite cousin, JD, and his wife-mate, ex-circus dog; Bella. The couple and their friends who we're originally from New York moved to Nashville a decade ago on the count of their owner-mistress.

Dodger arrived at his cousin's house on 1314 Chickering Road at around the three o'clock hour that afternoon, he knocked on the door to see if he was here.

JD - "Yes, who is it?... Oh, My God... Dodger!"

Dodger - "Hiya, JD."

JD - "What's buzzin, cousin?! Don't you put your paw out for me to shake your paw, you better come over here and hug my neck. Boy look at you. Oh, God. Dodger; long time, no see. Boy, it's so good to see you."

Dodger - "It's so good seeing you too, JD. The last time we had gotten together was back five years ago in Manhattan wasn't."

JD - "Yeah it was five years ago. You might remember my mistress, Raquel, the youngest sister of the late Ms. Lilly had gotten married and had a big wedding at The Plaza. It was an amazing wedding."

Dodger - "Oh yeah, I remember that. It was a wonderful wedding."

JD - "It really was, and I was glad I invited you and your friends to the event. Hey, where's the gang? I had a hunch you were going to bring your friends with you here to Nashville for the first time."

Dodger - "Nah, not on this trip, cousin. It's just me. I wanted to get the hell out of New York for a little while."

JD - "Well, what can I say, cousin. You deserve a break from the big city. Here in Nashville, we got fresh clean air, hard riding, and good ol' country music. So, what brings you all the way out here to Nashville, Dodge? What brings you down here from The Big Apple to Music City?"

Dodger - "Well, I'm here on my vacation, and I thought I might want to spend it with you."

JD - "Well, you've come to the right place to spend some time with us. So happy to see you here cousin, and welcome to Nashville. You want to come in?"

Dodger - "Absitively!"

Bella - "JD Baby, who's that at the door?... Oh, God... Dodger... You better get in here."

Dodger - "Hiya, Bella Baby."

Bella - "Good to see you, Dodger. And welcome to Nashville, Tennessee."

Dodger - "It's great to be here, guys. Thank You."

JD - "Hey, Dodger. Come on inside, and we'll make you feel right at home."

Dodger was welcomed with open arms by his cousin and his wife, and they told him that he can stay long if he wants, but Dodger says he doesn't want to overstay his welcome and he'll only be here for a few weeks.

Bella - "Dodger, JD and I have heard about your breakup with Rita back in New York over a month ago."

Dodger - "Really, how you hear about that?"

JD - "Perdita, and her husband Pongo called me and gave us the 411 on you and Rita. I'm sorry if Bella and I brought it up, and I know it's too hard for you to talk about it. But with you and Rita called it quits, I had a real good hunch you wanted to get away from all the drama and come here to The Mid-South."

Dodger - "Yeah, I had a feeling that was them. Those Dalmatians gossip too much anyway. So, yeah cousin; I've had to get out of New York for a while, things had been difficult for me. With Fagin's death last year, and Rita leaving me for a Dobie, I just had to leave New York and clear my head."

Bella - "Yeah, we know how you fell, Dodger. And we're so sorry to hear about Rita leaving you for that brute, we should have known that fucking cunt was up to no good; we don't know how the hell that gigolo Dobie met up with your mate. It's a fucking bitch-slap in the face for that to happen. We feel so deeply sorry for you, Dodger and that's from our hearts here."

JD - "And if there's ever anything we can do to help you, especially getting back at Rita for cheating and humiliating you, and/or tear that fucking Dobie limb from limb; Bella, Sherman, Chuffie, Velvet, and I are here for you every step of the way to get even with her. She's going to get hers one day. We'll see to that."

Dodger - "I appreciate it guys. Thanks so much, but I'm trying not to think about that two-faced bitch; Rita and I've already gave that asshole lover of hers an ass-kicking of a lifetime. Matter of fact, he wasn't even that tough. After that, she went her way, and I went mine."

"So, the damage was done, and I have no intention to reconcile and getting back together with her. That fuckin' pimp dobie can have her. Right now, I just want to spend time you folks and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Tennessee, with fresh clean air, sightseeing, hard horseback riding. All the things that'll help me clear my mind."

Bella - "That's understandable. You know, Dodger... seeing you reminds us of New York - the good ole days, huh!"

As the afternoon turns in evening, JD and Bella treated Dodger to a little dinner and some sightseeing, this was the very first time that Dodger had been outside the state for a nice vacation. Later that night, after a long dinner and a friendly conversation, Dodger felt tired after a long trip and sightseeing. And after an exceptionally long evening, he just wanted to get some rest and start thinking about tomorrow.

Dodger - "You know, this is my very first time visiting the City of Nashville. I'm so glad that I'd just came out here to enjoy the basics, that's all."

JD and Bella - (J) "Well Cousin Dodge, I'm glad that you're enjoying it and you've come to the right place to enjoy yourself and to relax. (B) Anyway, the hubby and I are going to bed. You rest easy my friend; we've got a big day tomorrow. Nighty-Night."

Dodger - "Night, you two lovebirds."

Dodger was so tired from the long trip; he lay on the bed in the guest room and went to sleep and trying to focus on finding himself when he wakes up tomorrow to the start of a new day.

A Few Days Later...

Friday, February 19, 2010. After a few days of rest and relaxation, enjoying the country air, and a little sightseeing, Dodger got a little bored. He was walking and browsing around the house looking for something to do. Then suddenly, he saw a photo of a beautiful Saluki next to JD and Bella, and her name is Miss Dixie Virginia West.

Dodger - "Hello... what have we here? Hey JD, Bella. Who is this beautiful, sexy female on this picture with the two of you, is she a friend of yours?"

Bella - "Oh, that's Dixie West. She was a member of the popular country group called The Singin' Strays. Last year on our anniversary, we attended a performance at the Grand Ole Opry to see her and her husband-mate, Cash Hound along with members of the country group. We were invited backstage and got to meet the powerhouse couple. They even took us to dinner that night to celebrate our anniversary, we'd had an enjoyable time meeting them."

Dodger - "Oh yeah, I do remember seeing a poster of the two of them when I was at The Bluebird Café a few days ago. I can already tell she's absitively beautiful, especially with her mate. And I must admit, she must be incredibly lucky to have a mate like him... incredibly lucky."

JD - "Yeah, she lucky to be married to a hound dog crooner. But sadly, things had turn for the worse. Just last month, Dixie's longtime husband-mate, Cash Hound unexpectedly died of severe heartworm disease."

Dodger - "What?!... Oh, JD No..."

JD - "Yeah, cousin. He collapsed at the recording studio of Soundstage Studios while working on a new single for what was supposed to be their fourth album for the group. He died a half-hour later. We've heard it on the news of his passing; and I can tell you this, a friend of mine I know told us that he wasn't in good health for the past few weeks, he was feeling sick on and off."

Bella - "Dixie was so devastated, depressed and emotionally heartbroken over her mate's death; their now former owner-manager ceased all concert performances. And without Cash, The Singin' Strays were officially over, they were no more. A representative of Edgehill Republic said that The Strays is officially done and personally and quietly retired as a country group."

Dodger - "Oh, God... Oh, man, I feel so emotionally sorry for Miss Dixie, her friends and her family. I wish there was something I could do to help her in the memory of her mate. If I could only wish I have this one chance to see her in person to tell her that."

JD - Yeah, well maybe soon you'll get to meet her, but a family-friend of Dixie's says that she is asking for privacy in this very personal time. Sorry Dodger, maybe next time. Hey, speaking of The Opry; Bella, Sherman, Chuffie, Velvet and I are going there in ten minutes, you want to come with us?"

Dodger - "The Grand Ole Opry, on a Friday Night?"

Bella - "Yeah, lots of past, present and future stars of country music are going to performing tonight. Come along with us to The Opry, Dodger. It's going to be a great show."

Dodger - "Well, I've already took a tour of The Opry a few days ago when I first got here, so... okay, count me in. It'll keep my mind focused and clear away from all the drama and the bullshit. Let's go."

Later that same evening...

At The Claybourne Estate, Dixie was in her room reading and re-writing some of her songs she had planned to what was supposed to be The Strays fourth album. She was planning to write some new songs to various country artists, but she preferred not to because it wasn't the right time to get back in the music scene. She was emotionally depressed and sad since she lost Cash a month ago, and for a long while she had some exceedingly difficult days that she can't think straight.

However, there was a silver lining in the Singin' Stray Saluki. One of the things Dixie would like to do and it was long overdue for her was she wanted to desperately and deeply find a way to say thank you to all her Singin' Stray fans and many ordinary people that wrote letters to her from The Singin' Strays fan club after Cash's death. They were not just fans, but just decent human beings that wrote to her, offering condolences and praying for her.

One longtime Singin' Strays fan from Chicago wrote to Dixie and said: "Hang in there, Dixie. We love you, we're with you, and we're praying for you every day. Please, keep your head high." Another longtime fan from Des Moines, IA also wrote to Dixie almost every day since Cash's passing and said to her in her letter: "Don't you dare quit on yourself, and don't you dare quit on me. All the time I've listening to your music over the years, you get your ass out there and start carry the torch for Cash, and you going to be alright."

And every letter Dixie read from every fan across the country brought tears to her eyes, a little smile to her face, and helped ease the pain.

After reading every letter her loyal and longtime fans sent to her, Dixie had finally decided to go public just for tonight, and only place to thank the fans was at the Grand Ole Opry. Zelda spotted Jeff coming inside just to see Rayna and Deacon, and Dixie might just ask Jeff to drive her to the Opry House for only a few minutes.

Zelda - "Hey Dix... I just saw Jeff Fordham coming inside to see Rayna and Deacon."

Dixie - "Oh, Jeff's coming in? Well, I'll wait when he finishes talking to Rayna. Because I'm going to ask him to take to the Opry just for tonight."

Zelda - "The Opry? Dixie, isn't a little too soon for you to show up at the Opry after Cash's passing last month?"

Dixie - "Look, don't worry about me. I just want to get to the Opry, go there live tonight in front of a full audience, and say thanks to all the people for all the support, that's all. Now, if you don't mind, will you help me get ready, please?"

Zelda - "Sure thing, Dixie."

Later that evening, Jeff Fordham was not going to stay for so long. He only came by the house to deliver some paperwork to Rayna and Deacon for major concert dates for New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The three began to chat for a while and ask about Dixie and how's she's been coping since Cash's death.

Jeff Fordham (Rayna and Dixie's Manager) - "Evening Rayna, Deacon. How's your day so far?"

Rayna - "Oh, evening Jeff. Were just sitting here, relaxing, and playing some music."

Jeff - "Oh. Well, you know it's the Friday Night Jam Session tonight at the Opry."

Deacon - "Yeah, I know it's Opry night. But we told Bucky over the phone a few minutes ago that we're not performing tonight. Luke Wheeler and his family are inviting us and the girls to Louisville for a weekend getaway. We're also schedule to perform that weekend as well. We leave tomorrow morning."

Jeff - "Hey, that's great! Is Dixie going with you guys?"

Rayna - "I'm afraid not, Jeff. I'm going to have my servants to keep a good eye out on Dixie while we're away. It's been over a month since Cash's passing, and she's not ready to get back into the public eye."

Jeff - "I understand. I feel so sad for her and for Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose. I know they'll be back on their paws soon when we think the time is right."

Deacon - "Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Anyway, what's with the papers?"

Jeff - "Oh, this is just the contract for future concert tour dates for you and Rayna. We got stops in Chicago, LA, New York, Dallas, and

Atlanta. The concert begins in the spring. Just read it over, and hopefully will have this contract signed by next week when you guys get back from a weekend vacation."

Rayna - "We'll look it over, and we'll get it done starting next week."

Deacon - "Oh, Jeff. We hate to ask you this, but have you heard from Lyle, Winchell, and Marshall? I know it's been a month since they were fired and Lyle turning over the dogs to Rayna and Luke."

Jeff - "Well, last I heard, I was told that Marshall now works for a PR firm in Los Angeles as a consultant, Winchell now runs a newly renovated dancehall and bar in Memphis, and Lyle went back home to Oklahoma to help his family with the barn and farmhouse. That's all I was told about them."

Rayna - "That's all I needed to hear, I don't ever want to see and hear no more about those assholes. Anyway, I'm about to take a shower and go to bed early. We got to be in Louisville early tomorrow."

Deacon - "Rayna, keep that body warm and wet, I'll be joining you in a minute. You got my dick hard looking a sexy body of yours."

Jeff - 'Well, I'm about to get ready to out of here and go to the Opry, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll see you folks when you get back."

Rayna & Deacon - "(R) Okay Jeff. I'll see you next week. (D) Take Care, Jeff."

After Jeff left the Claybourne Estate to go to the Opry, Dixie raced outside the house to meet with Jeff and asked him if she could go out there and make an unannounced appearance. Jeff believes it's a little too soon for her to make an appearance at the Opry after the loss of her mate a month ago. But Dixie just wants to take the time to say thank you to her loyal fans who wrote and sent their prayers and condolences to her and members of The Singin' Strays.

Dixie - "Jeff!... Jeff!"

Jeff - "Oh, Hey Dixie."

Dixie - "Hey, Darlin.' Jeff, are you by any chance going to the Grand Ole Opry tonight?"

Jeff - "I'm on my way there now. Tonight's is a special Friday night Opry show, and one of my clients is going to perform on stage tonight. I asked Rayna and Deacon if they're going to venue tonight, but they told me they can't. They're going to Louisville with Luke Wheeler and his family this weekend."

Dixie - "Oh, yeah. Rayna told me about that. She and Deacon along with Maddie and Daphne are going to spend the entire weekend in Kentucky with Luke, and his kids, Colt and Sage. They're giving a sold-out concert at Freedom Hall tomorrow night. After that they're going to spend the entire day at Kentucky Kingdome and Hurricane Bay."

Jeff - "Yeah, they're going to have a great time down there. Anyway, why you asked about tonight's Opry show?"

Dixie - "Well... I was thinking about going there tonight. I just wanted to go out there and thank the fans for all their love and support they gave me and my friends after Cash's passing last month."

Jeff - "Oh. Dix... I really think you should wait a little while longer before you decide to get back on stage. Because I think it's too soon for you to get back into the spotlight."

Dixie - "I know, Jeff. But for the last few weeks, I'd been reading so many letters from the fans across the country who sent their prayers and condolences to me, and to Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose. About 2/3rd of the letters I read made me emotional and have a soft spot in my heart, and 1/3rd of it made laugh and cry about the fun times about the bloodhound."

Jeff - "Despite the egos and the arguments; you really do love him and miss him, don't you?"

Dixie - "I was remembering all the fights that Cash and I had in almost the past four years... but Cash and I have a special kind of love and bonding we had together... God, I loved that stubborn mutt. I really do... I miss him."

Jeff - "So do I. Well... I don't know, Dixie... If Rayna finds out that you were at the Opry tonight without notifying her, she's going to terribly upset."

Dixie - "Oh, I'll be back home as soon as the show ends, Rayna won't know I was gone. Please, Jeff... Please?"

Jeff - "Alright, let's go. But I don't want you to be at the Opry too long. Just do what you gotta do, and I'll take you back home, okay?"

Dixie - "You got it, Darlin.' Let's get to the Opry."

Jeff got Dixie in the car, and they drove towards Opryland Drive to the Grand Ole Opry House. The Friday Night Opry Show was scheduled to start at around eight o'clock that evening and all the stars are excited to give their fans the best show they have got. Moments later, Dixie along with Jeff arrived at the Opry backstage area to say hello and watch the show, but this was a short visit, and she wasn't going to stay long.

Country stars from Reba to Dolly, Vince to Charley saw the Singin' Stray Saluki watching the show and so many stars gave her an emotional hug of prayers, support, and encouragement. Dixie was eternally grateful from all the celebrities and Opry members that night.

Meanwhile...

Dodger, JD, Bella, and their friends were in the audience attending the Opry's Friday night concert show. The audience was packed with a lot of country music fans that came not just from here in Nashville, but people from across The Mid-South, Mid-West, East, and West Coast.

The Grand Ole Opry is a giant music house where famous country, bluegrass, soul, gospel, and other top musicians come and sing. The Opry is where dreams are born, and legends are made here. Legends like Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Marty Robbins, Jimmy Dickens, Bill Monroe, Grandpa Jones, Porter Wagner, Ernest Tubb, Dottie West, Chet Adkins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, and the list goes on.

Every single performer was there performing in front of a live, packed, crowded audience and they'd brought down the Opry House that night. Rising country music superstars and legendary performers like:

Clint Black, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Loretta Lynn, Randy Travis, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Anderson, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, Toby Keith, Vince Gill, Darius Rucker, Alabama, Keith Urban, Charley Pride, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Terri Clark, Lee Ann Womack, Lorrie Morgan, Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Dwight Yoakam, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss (with Union Station), Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Taylor Swift, Steve Wariner, and Alan Jackson.

The show was filled with some special guest performers like Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby, Steve Martin, Michael Bolton, Jade St. John, Kenny Loggins, Bonnie Raitt, Michael McDonald, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Aaron Neville, Mindi Abair, and Richard Marx. Every country singer and guest performers gave their fans and the audience the best performance on earth that night, and already Dodger was beginning to love country music.

However, the night was going to be an unexpected and an emotional surprise for everybody who are attending The Grand Ole Opry. Legendary singer/songwriter and longtime Opry member; Vince Gill was on stage ready to perform his new single from his new album.

And while Vince was talking to the audience and preparing to sing his new single. The biggest surprise of the night came right out of the blue was when The Singin' Strays Dixie came out on The Opry stage unannounced, unexpectedly and made a rare, emotional live appearance.

The fans were in shock, surprised and excited to see Dixie on stage at The Opry, she'd received a standing ovation from the large crowd of fans and onlookers. Dixie's standing ovation lasted more than five minutes. The audience couldn't stop cheering and applauding for her as she was overcome with tears of emotion. Dodger was in the third row of the audience when he saw Dixie come out on stage, he couldn't keep his eyes off her.

Dodger - "That's Miss Dixie West?"

Velvet - "Yeah, that's her. And this is unexpected to see her on stage tonight."

Dodger - "Wow, she's absitively, fucking, sexy-beautiful."

Bella - "She surely is sexy-beautiful, Dodger."

JD - "She's already a real trooper. I'm surprised to see her coming out on stage tonight."

As the fans concluded the standing-o with a lot of cheering and applauding, she calmed the audience down and finally took the time to say thanks to all the fans for all their prayers and condolences to her, members of The Singin' Strays and her family. And promised that she'll decide on whether she'll be back performing real soon, and it'll be on her own terms when she thinks the time is right.

However, she still personally hasn't decided on whether she'll continue her music career, or she'll quietly retire. Opry executives and producers told Dixie to take as much time as she could to speak to the audience, and she did. Dixie spoke for over ten minutes to gather her thoughts on what she would say to her loyal fans.

And finally, the night ended with Dixie and Vince singing "Go Rest High on That Mountain" as a tribute to Cash with Dixie singing lead. And when her voice filled with harmony when she added a third and final verse on the classic Vince Gill ballad; the audience was lit up with tears of emotion in their eyes and so was Dodger.

Dodger's eyes were filled with tears of emotion because he was thinking of his late master, Fagin. There was not one dry eye in the audience, backstage, and in the entire building when she and Vince sang together. And at the end of the classic ballad, the audience gave another five-minute standing ovation to Dixie and Vince for their special tribute performance.

After the show was over, JD, Bella and their friends were outside the Opry House chatted about tonight's show and headed home, but Dodger had other things in mind.

Dodger - "Hey guys, why don't you all go ahead without me. Go back on to the house, I need to take a walk around Downtown Nashville for a while. I need some time to gather my personal thoughts."

Bella - "I hope you're not planning to sneak back inside The Opry just to see a certain Singin' Stray Saluki... are you?"

Dodger - "Nah, perish the thought."

JD - "Okay, Cousin. Be careful and don't get lost while walking around downtown. The Nashville Dog Pound trucks are out there patrolling. So, come back to our house safe, okay?"

Dodger - "Absitively Posolutely."

While JD, Bella and their friends went back home for the night, Dodger quietly sneaked back to the music venue so he could meet Dixie and wanted to do something special for her. So, he managed to sneak inside backstage at the Opry to meet and greet with the biggest names in country music.

While Dodger was continuing looking for Dixie, he walked around the backstage area part of the building browsing at the stars dressing rooms, then he started looking at pictures of the past and present performers in the hallway of The Opry backstage area including The Singin' Strays with Cash, Dixie, Floyd, Waylon, and Granny Rose. The Strays made appearances at The Opry as guest since their debut in the fall of 2006.

Meanwhile, The Artful Terrier was still browsing around backstage area of the Grand Ole Opry looking for Dixie until he finally spotted her planning to leave the building. And with no security details around, Dodger managed to hurry and meet her before leaving the Opry.

Dodger - "Excuse me, Miss? Miss wait! Excuse me, Miss?"

Dixie - "Yes, what is it, Darlin'?"

Dodger - "Hiya... I've noticed you were about to leave, but do you have at least a minute or two of your time? Because it's important that I gotta say something to ya."

Dixie - "Well, that's all I got. So, please try to make it quick."

Dodger - "Well, first and foremost... I wanted to tell that I was in the third row of the audience this evening and I saw your emotionally, heartfelt performance you gave out there tonight... and um... it moved me. It got me so emotional and teared up at the very end when I heard your beautiful voice."

"Second, I would like to take this time to offer you my sincere heartfelt prayers and condolences to you and to your family over the loss of your longtime mate, Cash Hound. Although, I never met the crooning hound dog; but I feel like I've known him like he was a part of the family."

"And finally, I came out here all the way from my native home of New York City for a little vacation to come to Nashville and to the Grand Ole Opry. And I would like to take this time say that it's a real honor for me that I've finally got to meet you for the first time. Besides, I'm already loving country music."

Dixie - "Well, thank you so much for being a fan, and thank you for your prayers and your support, Darlin.' Cash was truly a quintessential performer. It's genuinely nice of you to say something good about him. Personally, I've known Cash all my life and he had an ego like no other, but I don't want to bore you with that. So, again thanks so much for prayers and support."

Dodger - "Well, you're very welcome. And Miss, I understand you're in a rush and I don't want to take more of your time, but do I wanted to take the time to give you this... it's my lucky red scarf. I wore it ever since I was a puppy. It brought me a lot of good luck for an exceptionally long time, and um... out of respect for your late husband-mate... I uh... I would like for you to keep it."

Dixie - "You're actually giving your red scarf in memory of my Cashie to me?"

Dodger - "Yes... I'm giving it to you because it's in remembrance, in honor and in tribute to Cash. And I must be honest with you and truthfully... that red scarf I wore really kind of reminds me of him when I looked at his picture and the poster of you, him, and his band members at The Bluebird Café. So, that's why I wanted you to have it, and it comes from my heart here."

Dixie was surprised, in tears, and filled with emotion when Dodger gave her his lucky red scarf to keep. She clings to it as she is determined to keep Cash's memory and legacy alive. And Dixie was graciously and emotionally accepted to keep the red scarf.

Dixie - "Ohh... Ohh... it looks exactly like the same original red scarf Cash worn all his life. That's real sweet and incredibly special of you, Darlin'... thank you... thank you so very much. You know truthfully, and this is a true story. My ex-master, Lyle Snodgrass who's such an asshole and so selfish, kept Cash's scarf after he died."

"You see, he took Cash's original red scarf off his neck after he died, and the jackass twig-boy kept the red scarf for himself instead of giving it to me as promised. This scarf you just now given me; I'll personally keep this in memory of him. Thank you... thank you, Darlin'."

Dodger - "Oh, you're very much welcome, Miss Dixie."

Dixie - "Hey, wait a minute, Darlin'... did I just hear you say that you're from New York City?"

Dodger - "Absitively Posolutely. New York City, The Big Apple... my hometown."

Dixie - "Absi... what?"

Dodger - "Absitively Posolutely. You mix half the words from Positively Absolutely, and you get Absitively Posolutely."

Dixie - "Absitively Posolutely... hmm... I like that."

Dodger - "Thanks, Beautiful. It's my favorite signature quote, and I'm glad you like it."

Dixie - "You called me "Beautiful"? No one including Cash ever called me "Beautiful" before, but it's a first."

Dodger - "Thank you, Dixie. The reason I called you "Beautiful" is because you're the most beautiful and the sexiest Saluki I've ever met. And for a popular country singer like you... you are talented, sweet, sexy... and beautiful."

Dixie - "Aww... Thank you, stranger. Say, by looking at you, you're a street-mutt, aren't you?"

Dodger - "Yeah, I'm a street-dog. I'm New York's popular, coolest, and sexiest quadruped."

Dixie - "Quadruped *laughter*... so, is this your first time here in Nashville, street-mutt?"

Dodger - "Yes, It's my very first time here. As I just said, I'm only here in Nashville for a little vacation, and to clear my head. Last month, my longtime mate and I had broken up, I'm now starting to try to find myself and trying to find love again, but I don't want to bore you with all the bullshit because it's a long story."

Dixie - "Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that. Well, I really hope you'll bounce back and find true love for that special someone soon. And when you do find that special someone... you hold on to her with everything you have and especially in your heart."

Dodger - "I'll do just that, Beautiful. Thanks."

Dixie - "You're welcome, Darlin.' Listen, I can't stay long; I've got to go home, but it's really nice to meet you."

Dodger - "Okay, but there's one more thing. The next time we meet like this, and if you ever in New York City; I really hope I'll see you again because I would love to talk again soon, and hopefully to get to know more about you."

Dixie - "Well, I'm currently taking a long, extended personal time off. And as I said on stage, I'll decide when I'll be performing again real soon when the time is right. And when I decide to perform soon... I'll be ready to sing again, but it'll be on my own terms. So, I'm surely hope we get to see each other again, and hopefully to get to know each other soon."

Dodger - "That's absitively understandable."

Jeff - "Hey Dix, there you are. Come on, it's time to head on home."

Dixie - "Alright, Jeff; I'm on my way out... Listen, Darlin' I really must go, but it's really nice to meet you Mr. uh..."

Dodger - "Dodger... The name's Dodger."

Dixie - "Dodger... that's a handsome name... I'll remember that name."

Dodger - Thanks, Beautiful."

Dixie - "I'm Dixie... Dixie Virginia West."

Dodger - "Dixie Virginia West... I'll remember that name, too. Besides, I believe that's a pretty and beautiful name."

Dixie - "Aww... thank you for the wonderful compliment, Mr. Dodger. And thank you so much for the red scarf."

Dodger - "You're welcome, Beautiful. Bye Miss Dixie, I really hope to see you soon."

Dixie - "Me too... So long, Mr. Dodger."

Dodger and Dixie's first friendly encounter together was a special one as Dodger went on his way. Just as she was a few steps away from the backstage exit, Dixie began to go into heat, and for the first time in her life since her mate's death, she finds the Artful Terrier, an outsider from New York sexually attractive to her.

She was planning on going back home to get to bed, but she personally decided to ask the Artful Terrier out for a late-night stroll. As lonely as she was, Dixie quickly raced the backstage hallway to find Dodger and ask him out and to keep her company for a few hours.

Jeff - "Dixie, where are you going?"

Dixie - "Keep the car running, I'm coming right back. I only going to be in for a minute or two."

Jeff - "Okay but hurry up. If Rayna finds out you snuck out the house to perform at The Opry, she'll be pissed as hell and she'll kick my ass."

Dixie - "Okay... excuse me... excuse me... Mr. Dodger?"

Dodger - "Yeah?... Miss Dixie... Hello again."

Dixie - "Hello to you too, Darlin'... Mr. Dodger, I'm sorry if I had to stop and ask you this, but the reason I stopped you is because I wanted to know are you by any chance busy right now? Because if you're not... I was thinking maybe... me and you taking a quiet walk on The Shelby Street Bridge, just to walk and talk... maybe get to know each other, and maybe you can keep me company."

Dodger - "Me and you... Hey. Absitively, Baby."

Dixie - "Okay, great! Come on, let's go."

Dodger - "Lead the way, Beautiful."

Jeff - "Hey, that was quick... whoa, hold it. Who's this stranger?"

Dixie - "Jeff, this is Dodger. He's from New York City. He's here in Nashville to visit his cousin and he'd just attended tonight's show. He was in the third row of the audience. Dodger, this is Jeffery Fordham. He's a friend, an attorney and manager of my mistress; Rayna Wyatt-Claybourne."

Dodger - "It's good to meet ya, Mr. Fordham."

Jeff - "Thank you, Mr. Dodger. Welcome to Nashville. And uh, call me Jeff as you may."

Dodger - "Sure, by all means, Jeff."

Jeff - "Alright. So, Mr. Dodger. Where should we drop you off?"

Dixie - "Actually, Jeff... I asked Dodger if it's okay if he and I could go to The Shelby Street Bridge where we can walk and talk for a little while if that's okay with you. Please?"

Jeff - "Oh, Shit, Dixie! I really need to take you home before Rayna and Deacon finds out you've gone out of the house."

Dixie - "Oh, Jeff. Please, for me? Rayna and Deacon won't even know. Please? Hell, they'll probably still asleep."

Jeff - "Well... after you had been through last month and after tonight's emotional performance... I guess it wouldn't hurt to take you folks to the bridge and get acquainted. Okay then, but don't be walking and talking too long."

Dixie - "Thanks, Jeff. I appreciate it. Alright, guys... let's go."

Later that same night...

The Terrier and Saluki began walking, talking, and standing at the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge for almost a half-hour hour with Dixie's car following them behind. The two talked about each other, their lives in their home cities, and their relationships. Dixie talked to him about her life in Music City and Dodger talked to her about his life in The Big Apple. The conversation continued when she talked to Dodger about Cash, and he talked to Dixie about Rita.

Dodger - "So, Miss Dixie... Cash was your longtime husband-mate?"

Dixie - "Yeah, but he wasn't just my mate... and he wasn't just my husband... he was my best friend. We'd met at a theme park called Fiesta Texas in San Antonio in the Spring of '06. He heard my singing voice when I was waltzing around of the theme park. Cash saw me and asked if I'm interested in joining The Singin' Strays. And I excitedly said to him of course, I'm interested."

"In almost four years since I've been a member of The Strays, we've had our highs and lows, ups and downs. And as a couple, we also had our share of arguments and disagreements, but we managed to pull through together, we always forgave each other and make amends every time we had a disagreement. But all that changed last month."

"Last month, Cashie and I had some special plans that day. We were planning on starting a family this year, but everything came crashing down around me when the fucking son-of-a-bitch of a bloodhound collapsed in the studio while working on a new single and he unexpectedly died almost a half-hour later."

"And when the doctor told me, my friends, family, and my masters that my Cashie died... I completely and emotionally lost it. I fell through my knees, and I started screaming, crying, howling, and sobbing all thru the evening and thru the night... I felt so alone without my husband-mate... it's just not the same without him."

"Five days later, he was laid to rest at the Nashville Pet Cemetery. And even though I was sad and heartbroken that he was already gone, I was personally pissed off at Cash... I was fucking angry at him. Cash made a promise to me that he wouldn't leave me. Crazy as it may seemed to be... but I believed him."

"For over a month, I've been an emotional wreck ever since his unexpected passing... and with my Cashie gone, The Singin' Strays was never the same... hell, my life has never been the same. All I have now are my personal memories of him. Through the good and the bad, we've had some bad times because of our egos, but we've had a lot a good times because of the music we made, and the love we had together. I surely miss him... I miss Cash so much."

Dodger - "Ohh, I'm so sorry, Dixie. I know how hard it hurts to lose a mate, and I understand it's been an extremely hard and difficult time for you."

Dixie - "Tell me about it, I've personally been emotionally depressed and alone for over a month. So, after over a month and a half away, I've decided to come to the Opry tonight and publicly thank the fans for all their thoughts, prayers, and condolences. It's better than staying coop up inside the house all day and all night without your mistress and master knowing all about it."

Dodger - "Well, there's nothing wrong about that. You're very courageous and you sang beautifully tonight."

Dixie - "Aw, thank You, Dodger. Anyway, tell me about your mate. You haven't told me how the two of you split up."

Dodger - "Well, her name's Rita. We've been together for an exceptionally long time along with my friends; Tito, Francis, Einstein, Georgette, and my cat friend Oliver. Rita and I were also planning on starting a family as well, but all that was being put on the backburner because last year my longtime master; Fagin... he was dying."

"He was emotionally sick, I had to be there to take care my master 'til the very end. The next day, Fagin died of lung cancer... I too was in emotional wreck when my friends and I lost him... A week later, we'd scattered his ashes into the waters of The New York Pier. I couldn't stop howling and crying now that he's gone."

Dixie - "Ohh, I'm so deeply sorry, Dodger. I know that really had to hurt for you too, especially of losing a master."

Dodger - "Yeah, but that's not the only thing that hurt. You see, I had to put my family and friends first and keep the gang together because that's what Fagin would've wanted. But then, Rita started cheating on me because I've been neglecting and ignoring her... she cheated on me with a bunch of Dobermans."

Dixie - "Dobermans?! You got to be shitting me, Darlin.' I fucking hate Dobermans!"

Dodger - No, I'm not kidding, Dixie. And you're not the only dog that hates Dobermans. She has been unfaithful to me since Fagin's passing. We had a long talk on why she did what she did. She apologized, I forgave her, and we made up and reconciled. But weeks later, the reconciliation of our courtship didn't last."

"She was cheating on me again, but this time with a pimp Doberman I personally hate... Ronno. I saw Ronno fucking her on the recliner, and I've found out from a friend of mine I know that she was seeing Ronno for more than a few weeks after we'd reconciled."

Dixie - "No shit. What a cowardly, cold-hearted bitch. On what day did this bitch cheated on you with a pimp Doberman?"

Dodger - "Last month... January 13th."

Dixie - "January 13th?! That's the very same day my Cashie died."

Dodger - "What?! Your mate died on January 13th of last month?"

Dixie - "Fuck yeah. My mate, Cash died one month ago on January 13th. I can't believe he died on the same day that your mate cheated on you."

Dodger - "Ohh. again, my sincere condolences."

Dixie - "And again, Thanks."

Dodger - "Anyway, while I was eavesdropping on Rita and Ronno's conversation, I'd overheard from Rita that she doesn't want to become a first-time mother, she doesn't want to have puppies with me. Matter of fact, she doesn't even want to start a family with me. She would rather be with fuckin' asshole Dobie and probably to start a family with him than to be with me."

Dixie - "Oh, No... Oh, Dodger, that's terrible. How could someone like your ex-mate who doesn't want to start family do that by being so unfaithful to a nice, handsome street-dog like you?"

Dodger - "Well, I guess she would rather be knotted by a bunch of rough Dobermans than to be with a street-smart, streetwise dog like me."

Dixie - "So, what did you do next after you witnessed your mate and her Dobie lover fucking?"

Dodger - "Well, I busted up their private rendezvous, Ronno and I got into a massive dogfight, and that Dobie wasn't even that tough. I'd started tearing Ronno limb from limb, I'd scratched, bit, and clawed the fuck out of him, and the mutt ran like a coward. After that dogfight, Rita and I had officially call it quits, we've broken up. She left me for that asshole and then... the two moved to Detroit and out of my life."

Dixie - "I'm so sorry that had to happen for you, I know you must be broken-hearted when she left you... You know something, Dodger... I have to admit, me and you are a lot alike."

Dodger - "Really?"

Dixie - "Yeah. We both lost our mates to a death and a breakup all on the same day, and on the same month. But we are both now trying to dig ourselves out of that hole and trying to turn the page. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do, but it's beginning to be too hard."

"But with this dark cloud hanging over my head, I'm thinking about quitting the country music business. And even though The Singin' Strays is not the same anymore with my Cashie dead... my career and my life are just not the same anymore either."

And as sad and emotional as it is for her, Dodger had some strong, serious, and encouraging words for Dixie that could lead her to get back on her feet again.

Dodger - "Wait a minute, am I hearing you right? After you gave that emotional performance to your late husband-mate at The Opry tonight, you're quitting the country music business?"

Dixie - "Yeah, there's nothing for me in the country music world."

Dodger - "Dixie. I want you to listen to my advice. And in due time, you'll be thanking me for giving this encouraging lecture and the advice to you because this might change your mind on your career and your future. Now, I know how tough it is for you right now as it is for me, we're both all curled up lying in our own emotional vomits and shit."

"Me and you are in hell now, Dixie. And the only way out of that hell is through a long, black dark tunnel. I called it the dark hole of hell. And we're afraid to go in because there's a long, black train coming at us, carrying a lot of boxcars full of heartbreak, anger, depression, and sadness."

"Well, let me tell you something. All we can do is let it hit us, and then we try to find our paws and legs. Mm-hmm, I know. I've seen my friends taken that hit more times than me that I can remember."

Dixie - "Really? You and your friends really been down that long and hard road before in their lives and yours?"

Dodger - "Oh, yeah. I've seen it happen to me and my friends for a long time. Look at me, Dixie. I'm a Jack Russell Terrier. I'm a streetwise, street-smart, street-dog from the streets of New York City. And every time I walk through Manhattan, Broadway, Wall Street, Main Street, 5th

Ave, and Times Square, I keep seeing the same ole people, doing the same ole things."

"And every day when I wake up in the morning, I go out and I keep seeing the same old shit, minute by minute, hour by hour, etc. And yet somehow, I manage to drag this streetwise, street-dog out into the city every day. I'm out there, hustling, stealing hot dogs, getting into trouble, digging holes, climbing out, trying again."

Dixie - "Wait a minute, you been stealing hot dog sausages?"

Dodger - "Yeah. I've been taking hot dog sausages out of Old Louie's hot dog cart for years without getting caught. I only done it just to feed my friends."

Dixie - "Wow... how many times you been stealing hot dog sausages?"

Dodger - "Hmm... I've lost count of how many times I've been stealing them hot dogs; I'd just don't keep track of it."

Dixie - "Oh... well, you did what you had to do to support your friends and family. So, why is a New York City street-mutt outsider like you managed to come to here to the Country Music Capital of the World?"

Dodger - "I'm here in Nashville to spend some time with my favorite cousin, JD along with his mate, Bella and his friends. Now, I've never been to this city before, but this is a first for me. I must admit, Nashville is a great city to start a music career, raise a family, meet country music stars. My cousin, his wife and his friends love it here. They enjoyed the sights and sounds of Music City every day as well as I am."

"And tomorrow, I'm going to continue to live my life the way I see fit by continuing to enjoy my vacation and seeing the countryside here in The Volunteer State. And the first thing when I get back to NYC is to start finding a new mate in my life. Will I ever get one?... experience says no. Will I be out there finding a new mate the next day or next month? If I'm alive, you Absitively Posolutely better believe it."

Dixie - "Wow. You know something, Dodger... your kind, encouraging and special lecture has really moved me and inspiring to me. You're really telling it to me straight-forward, but continuing my country music career without my Cashie... I just don't think I can do it."

Dodger - "Dixie... I can understand that. Look, I know we've just met. I don't know you that well, but I would really love to get to know the real you. But all I can say is that I believe in you, and I believe you can do this. I Absitively Posolutely believe that you can get back on your paws and make a real name for yourself."

"And I know most of your friends and family can't help you get the hell out of that dark hole... but I'm the only canine who can make that happen for you. I know I'm an outsider, but I'm the only friend you now have that can get you out of that black hole of hell. And I believe that reinventing your career is real possibility I think in your talent."

Dixie - "Ohh, that's really nice to hear, but um... you didn't really have to say that."

Dodger - "No, No, you know; I think you're smart enough to do anything you really want to do if just put your heart and mind to it. You can be a real hit music maker, a true megastar. You see, it's never too late, Dixie. You must have dreams and persistence and that's the most important thing. You keep doing what you do best and working really hard at it, and pretty soon you'll be the best and the biggest name in the world of country music, if you believe in yourself."

Dixie - "You really believe that I can make a real name for myself? You really think I still got it, if I decide to make a comeback by starting a solo career?"

Dodger - "Absitively. Not only I believe you can do it... and I have faith in you. I have faith that you can climb out of that hole of hell and turn your career around. And I know in my heart of hearts you can do it, and I'm sure your late husband-mate; Cash feels the same way."

"He wanted you to focus on yourself, start a fresh, and start a solo career. He wanted you to be happy, it's what he would have wanted for you if Cash was alive today. You know what my late master, Fagin said to be before he passed?... Little man will beat big man every time, little man's in the right... and he keeps on it coming."

"Dixie, look at me... you've got to get yourself up off the floor, take a real good look in the mirror, find your real voice in the music you love to sing about, wash off all the shit of your past, keep The Singin' Strays legacy alive, dig yourself out of that fucking dark hole of hell, make a real name for yourself... and show your fans and the world that you're still the same original Singin' Stray that you are... show the people what real country music is all about."

And with that bold and truthful statement Dodger gave to Dixie, she did something that's a first for the two dogs and she said this.

Dixie - "Dodger... I'm going to do something that is a first for the both of us. While we're both standing on this bridge together... I'm going to hug you... next, I'm going to lick you... then, I'm going to kiss you... and even though you're an outsider from New York, maybe I'll never be able to let you go after what you now just said."

Dixie and Dodger gave each other a big hug, then they've started licking each other, and finally, they've shared their very first kiss together. This was their first kiss since Cash's death and breakup from Rita. The Terrier and Saluki began to realize that they're more determined to be there for each other.

As they continue to share a kiss on The Shelby Street Bridge, Dodger holds Dixie's paw for comfort and support and hug each other and

continue to share a kiss as they both stared at the Nashville Skyline on a beautiful moonlit late Friday Night.

Dixie - "So, how long you going to be in Nashville, Dodger?"

Dodger - "Well, I'm here for one more week, then I go back to New York a week from Sunday."

Dixie - "Would you like come to my house and spend the night with me?"

Dodger - "What, you are asking me to spend the night with you?"

Dixie - "Hell Yeah. Because for the first time... I want you to come mate with me, and I want you to come bunk with me... tonight."

Dodger - "Whoa, you want to have sex? I mean, I understand you are going through a difficult time with your hubby-mate passed on last month, and you want to mate with me?"

Dixie - "Yes... Dodger, please understand. I know we've just met, and we've been talking for nearly an hour. I want you to understand that I haven't been mated and had sex with Cash since his death... and you haven't had sex either since your ex broke up with you... because to tell you the truth... I'm in heat... and I need love. I need someone like you to hold onto. And I don't want to wake up alone tomorrow."

Dodger - "You know somethin,' Dixie... The minute I laid eyes on you for the first time tonight... I see a beautiful, sexy, country crooning Saluki with a beautiful body and a big heart of gold. Of course, I'll mate with you. Because for the first time tonight, I want you... I need you... I want to taste you... and for the first time in my life... I just might be falling in love with you."

Dixie - "Then, Dodger... Want Me... Need Me... Taste Me... Love Me... and most important of all... Fuck Me."

Dodger - "Let's Go, Baby."

Dixie - "Hell Yeah. Let's go fuck, Darlin'."

As they raced back into the car and headed for home, Dodger had an exceptionally good feeling that he might have just found the one mate for him. While Jeff Fordham drives her back home on Page Road, Dodger touches Dixie's paw for love, support, and comfort. And Dixie lays her head on his shoulder and the two hold each other's paws as they embark on a special weekend of an adventure and passion they'll never forget in their lives.

Later that night, Jeff drops the Terrier and Saluki off at The Claybourne House on Page Road, and she tells Jeff not to tell her that she was at The Opry and met an outsider, he gave Dixie his word and said good night. Later, Dixie and Dodger had a brief chat before they went inside.

Dixie - "Thanks for the ride home, Darlin'."

Jeff - "My pleasure, Dix. Have a good night."

Dixie - "Oh, Jeff... Please don't tell Rayna that I went to the Opry tonight and brought an outsider here at the house, okay?"

Jeff - "Don't worry about nothing, Dixie. Mum's the word. You and your new friend be safe, alright?"

Dixie - "We will. Thanks, Jeff. Night Darlin'."

Jeff - "Night. Oh, and it's nice meeting you, Dodger."

Dodger - "Nice meeting you too, Jeff."

Dixie - "Well, here we are. Welcome to my home."

Dodger - "Wow, that's a beautiful estate you and your family got there. I've never been in a celebrity's house before."

Dixie - "Well, now's your chance... Wait, Wait, Wait... Before we go in, could I ask you a question?"

Dodger - "Sure."

Dixie - "Why did you give me your red scarf?"

Dodger - "What do you mean?"

Dixie - "Back at the Opry earlier tonight, we were talking backstage... and when you took off your original red scarf and giving it to me in memory of Cash. I mean not a few outsiders like you would do that... and you're the only outsider who've been so kind enough to do something special like that for me... why did you do it?"

Dodger - "I don't know. I asked myself that same question... A few days ago when I arrived here, I saw this poster of The Singin' Strays at The Bluebird Café and I saw this bloodhound wearing the exact same red scarf I had on. And when my cousin and his mate told me that he died last month, I wanted to do something to pay tribute to him."

"Although I don't even know him, never met him or where he came from... I guess... I just.... doing the right thing, I guess. I mentioned before, my master died last year... and last month, my mate left me... and... well, last year, Fagin... he was sick from the cancer, and he died. And when he died, it broke my heart. That pain will never go away."

"And then just last month.... Rita dumped me for a Dobie... she left me because she thinks I'd been neglecting her... but I wasn't. I had to focus on keeping my friends and family together. She knows that, but she don't give a shit. So, she cheated me with some dobie... and left me... I never was a particularly good mate when she left me."

Dixie - "Yeah, I remember you telling me that a half-hour ago... as I said before, you had to do what you had to do to keep your friends and family together without all the distractions and the emotional drama you went through. I mean, know how much you miss your master so much... was he ever good to you?"

Dodger - "Oh, he was exceptionally good to all of us. Me, four of my canine friends and my feline friend. Fagin was one hell of a good man. I guess that somehow, I just... when I see what you were going through on stage... it just made me think or reminded me of something about him... I don't know. You know when you feel like you can't breathe?... and you can't get out... from inside yourself, you know. Really."

Dixie - "I know exactly how you feel. When I lost Cash last month... I was severely depressed, sad, angry, and emotionally heartbroken when left me... I mean we um... we'd never got the chance to start a family together... I had always wanted to be a mother for the first time... that'll never happen now that he's gone. Despite our egos and our bickering's... He was so good to me, he was. He loved me... He really loved me."

Dodger - "I understand. Dixie... your mate is gone... but he'll never be forgotten. Because he'll forever and always be in your mind... in your heart... and deep sown in your soul... Cash will never be forgotten."

Dixie - "Thank you, Dodger... thank you for healing my pain. Anyway, you ready to come inside?"

Dodger - "Absitively."

Dixie - "Great, let's go. Say, Dodger... I don't understand why you keep saying "Absitively" ... but I'm just now already loving that word. I mean, the word "Absitively" it's kind of new to me."

Dodger - "Thanks, Beautiful."

Dixie told dodger to go around the patio of the house so she can let him in, while Dixie goes around the backdoor the estate. As Dixie went inside without waking her mistress and master, she quietly walked inside the dog door from the kitchen and sneaks Dodger inside the house from the backyard patio.

Dodger - "Is it safe to come inside? Because I feel like a burglar."

Dixie - "I know, me too... Shh. Quick. Before my mistress and master wakes up. Follow me."

Dixie snuck Dodger inside the backway of The Claybourne House while her mistress and master; Rayna, Deacon and their two daughters were still asleep at around midnight hour. She and Dodger went inside the family's guest house where its quieter and peaceful for them to talk and to get intimate with each other.

As she was rising to her feet, and Dodger smelt that intriguing aroma from earlier. Dixie had come into heat. had been in heat before and the inconvenience at being away from other dogs for over a month had been unbearable. Now with a friendly Terrier from New York she genuinely loved, things were about to change. Once Dodger and Dixie got settled into the guest house, the two mates got cozy on the sleeper sofa.

Dixie - "Well... alone at last!"

Dodger - "Yeah... wow, this is a beautiful home you got here."

Dixie - "Thank You, Darlin.' I've been living with The Claybourne's for a little over a few months. My mistress, Rayna and her husband, Deacon took me and Cash in. My friends: Floyd, Waylon and Granny Rose are now currently living with their new master; Luke Wheeler, his mom; Widow Tweed, and her new husband, Amos; Luke's stepdad. Their house is a half a mile from my home."

Dodger - "Oh. Well, I don't understand why your friends didn't want to live together in this beautiful house."

Dixie - "Well, to tell you the truth, Dodger, after Cash's death; my friends and I don't want to be anywhere near that twig-boy, jackass Lyle Snodgrass. So, after he was fired from the record label, the last we heard, Lyle quietly and privately moved back to his home state of Oklahoma to take care of his family's farmhouse, but not before he gave three of my friends to Luke, and me to Rayna. Thank God I still keep in touch with them."

Dodger - "It's good to know you still have friends that love and support you."

Dixie - "Truthfully... Floyd, Waylon and Granny Rose are the only friends I have here in Nashville."

Dodger - "Wow... you know Dixie, friendship is especially important, and you've got to keep your friends and more importantly your family closer together through the good and the bad. I always say this to my friends, and I'm saying this to you for the first time... when you got your pals, you got all you need."

Dixie - "I'm going to remember hearing you saying that."

Dodger - "Absitively Posolutely. Goddamn... you know, Dixie... every time I look at your beautiful face and your sexy body, I just can't believe how sassy, hot, beautiful, and real sexy you are. Personally, your ears kind of remind me of my ex-girlfriend-mate."

Dixie giggled and whimpered; her ears laid back as she held her tail aside for Dodger. Ever since her heat had begun, her reserved personality had disappeared, and the Saluki couldn't resist presenting her swollen vulva to him. She began started flirting with Dodger as she was lowering her tail.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger... You're making me blush... I'm sorry, It's most unlike me. I can't stop looking at you."

As Dodger began moving closer, he responded.

Dodger - "Me either. You are beautiful and sexy. Please don't hide yourself from me. If you'll permit me to... I want nothing more than to make love to you."

And Dixie was starting to understand now, and it only increased her love for him. She begged, feeling more aroused than she'd ever felt in her life.

Dixie - "Oh yes, Dodger... I do want to make love to you... I do want to taste you."

Just before they started to mate, Dodger and Dixie started hugging each other for moral support. About a few minutes into the conversation, Dixie walked into the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey. She poured him a glass of the drink as well as one for herself as they tried to drown their sorrows of emotions with a glass of the famous whiskey.

Dixie continued to talked about her time with The Singin' Strays and talked about Cash on how his ego got the worst of him. Later, Dixie showed Dodger many of her personal belongings as well as some souvenirs back when she was on tour with The Singin' Strays. One of her favorites was her red-orange satin sheets save got from when she and her friends were performing at The Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, IA.

Dixie talked about the time her ex-owner, Lyle, bought the sheets on credit.

Dodger - "Those are nice satin sheets you got there, Dixie."

Dixie - "Oh, Thank You, Dodger. I really like these sheets; they match my hair. My ex-owner, Lyle Snodgrass; he got these here satin bed sheets on credit."

Dodger - "I never heard about anybody getting them beautiful sheets on credit before."

Dixie - "I know, right? They are cute. I love these sheets. These satin sheets are good and red orange, all right. Lyle got... I don't know how he managed to pay 'em on credit, but he got 'em for me."

Dodger - "How did your former owner managed to pay for the sheets on credit?"

Dixie - "Well, while we were taking a break rehearsal, Lyle and I went inside the gift shops to buy some souvenirs, the man told Lyle... he wasn't supposed to get this deal, but I think he kind of liked me... and he told Lyle that I could have these beautiful satin bed sheets on credit. I said, what the hell? Orange-Red satin bed sheets would be great for my bed. So Lyle said, "I'll take it." So Lyle got me some orange-red satin bed sheets."

Dodger - "They do look beautiful. Say, Dixie... I was staring at this picture hanging on the wall, is that you and the rest of your canine friends?"

Dixie - "This was taken after our first performance at the Grand Ole Opry in 2006. Winchell, and a friend of his; Marshall Evans of Edgehill Republic signed all of us a contract to their record label. I never thought that Cash, Waylon, Floyd, Granny Rose, and I would become huge country stars. I was excited about it."

Dodger - "The Singin' Strays... You know, I'd never heard about it and listen to their music until now."

Dixie - "You've never listened to our music before, Dodger? I mean your native hometown; New York City must have some country music stations that's carrying our music the last three years."

Dodger - "Yeah, well I have to admit. I'm more of a contemporary/soft rock genre kind of mutt. And I've been like that all my life until tonight. And after all the singers at the Opry performing so many great country songs from romance to gospel to the honky-tonks... I'm now already loving country music."

Dixie - "Well, I'm glad you loving our genre, street-mutt. Never had a Manhattan street dog like you loving our genre of music, and I do want to thank you."

Dodger - "You're very welcome, Beautiful. How many albums you and your friends had in all your years as a singin' stray?"

Dixie - "Well, we released our debut album in the fall of 2006, and in less than a year it was sold more than 5 million copies. And our single "We're in Harmony" was #1 for six weeks on the country charts. We were on top of the world, more fans, more power, more fame."

"A year later, we were nominated for three CMA Awards a year later including "CMA Single of The Year," "CMA Horizon Award" and "CMA Vocal Group of Year." We didn't win that night. The five of us were a little upset we didn't win, but we had a wonderful time performing on Country Music's biggest night."

Dodger - "I'm deeply sorry you guys didn't win that year. At least you strays tried your best to take home the award and had a good time."

Dixie - "We did. However, we did win two The CMT Music Awards in the spring of 2007. Best Country Group, and Single of The Year. We released two more albums a year apart. "The Cowboy Way" in the summer of 2007, and "A True Kind of Love" in the spring of 2008. And

once again we get nominated for CMAs, ACMs, and GRAMMYs for two years straight, and again we get shut out."

Dodger - "It must make you upset that you and your friends didn't win not one major award."

Dixie - "Yeah... Rose, Waylon, Floyd and I kept our head high no matter what happens and try again, but Cash gets upset most of the time. He wanted to win so badly. Personally, he was pissed that we didn't win. His ego got the worst of him... but I guess his ego, declining health and his death all got worst of him."

Dodger - "Damn... Dixie, for country dog, you sure drank that whiskey down. Honey, Lord have mercy."

Dixie *Laugh* - "My Cashie used to love him some Jack Daniels. He even had a glass of that shit after the Opry show."

Dodger - "Well, like it says, it's an exceptionally good drink. To tell you the truth, I'd never had a drink like Jack Daniels before."

Dixie - "Amen, it's good whiskey. Hey Dodger... You wait right here. I wanna show you something, stay right there."

Dodger - "Okay, I'm not goin' nowhere."

Dixie - "Good, just sit right here."

While Dixie went back inside the house towards her room, Dodger was still in the guest room staring at pictures of Dixie and her family, as well as Rayna, her husband Deacon, their two daughters, in-laws, family members, close friends like Bucky, Jeff, Nashville Mayor Coleman Carlisle, and many country music stars. Dodger was completely amazed by her for being with a family that cares for her and loves her.

About less than a few minutes later, Dixie came back inside the guest house to show Dodger her and Cash's recent work of her songwriting in her four years with The Singin' Strays. The Artful Terrier admired Dixie for her and Cash's songwriting experiences.

Dixie - "Sorry for the small delay. Here you go, look."

Dodger - "What have you got there, love letters or something?"

Dixie - "No. These are songs that he wrote right here... these are my husband-mate's songs. Me and Cash are also songwriters, besides being talented singers. He wrote some of our biggest hits from three recent albums. This was his most recent... He was in the early work of what was supposed to be our fourth album. But um... he collapsed at the recording studio and died of heartworms last month. He collapsed and died.... I already told you that. And these right here... these are mines. I wrote all these songs right here. Some of my songs I wrote didn't make the cut on three previous albums."

Dodger - "You wrote these songs right here?"

Dixie - "Yeah. I wrote "Good Doggie, No Bone." That became our second #1 single and our biggest hit from our first album. It stayed on the country charts for eight weeks, as well as first single "We're In Harmony." Both songs led us to superstardom."

Dodger - "Wow... you got a lot of talent from your mate, I guess. He must have taught you a lot on how to write some good country songs, didn't he?"

Dixie - "It's the only gift that bloodhound ever gave me, and it was writing hit songs. Songs about finding love, worship the gospel, slow dancing with the one you love, and mostly do some boot scooting."

Dodger *Laugh* - "He taught you everything in the book about country music."

Dixie - "Country music runs in the family. It's like that. You know... despite the fights me and Cash had... as well as the ego... Cash was a good mate, you know? He was a good doggie. I know that Cash and I had our differences and our arguments, but he was so good to me."

Dodger - "Was he always a kind, and caring mutt to you despite everything you and he went through?"

Dixie - "Oh, he was. Cash was a hell of good doggie... one good doggie. Cash was a tough mutt, but deep down inside, he cared about me. I mean he really... he loved me... *crying* He really loved me."

Dodger - "I understand. I can understand what you went through when you lost a mate you had genuinely loved."

Dixie - "I do have a love-hate relationship with that bastard. He was a hell of an egotistic mutt. Ever since his reign as the leader of The Singin' Strays, he has been... he was power hungry. I don't care what I would try to do to help the group or in my marriage to that fucking bloodhound. I don't care what it was."

Dodger - "Was he angry all the time?"

Dixie - "Oh, believe me, Dodger. He would get pissed off at not just me, but on my friends. Ever since we were nominated for ACM's, CMAs, and/or GRAMMYs; we eventfully get shutout. And Cash would get upset that we didn't do good enough to entertain our fans. He was an egotistic asshole, but I still loved him."

Dodger - "Good or bad, happy or mad; he sounds like a real character, on and off I guess."

Dixie - "Oh, he was, Dodger. And then suddenly... his health started to get the worst of him when he had the heartworms. I told him to see about himself, but he kept putting it off saying that he's fine, but to me, he was not fine. I worry about him and his health."

The Singin' Stray saluki emotionally started to cry when talking about Cash and how she'd tried her best to make things right for her and for The Strays. And Dodger, being the heart and soul of a canine he is, he was there by her side to console her and help her anyway he can.

Dixie *Crying* - "I was a good mate to that son-of-a-bitch. I did everything. Every single fucking thing I could think to do for the group and for my Cashie. I was good... I was really good."

Dodger - "I understand, Dixie. I understand how it hurts to lose a mate, Beautiful."

Dixie *Cont. Crying* - "I didn't want him to die on me. I did not... 'cause a canine in America can't be like that and can't die on a mate like that! And I tried to... I was just trying to tell him; you can't leave me. You fucking can't die on me like that. You can't be dying on your mate like that in America, and a male dog. I was just...."

By the time Dodger consoles Dixie, he didn't know what he would do for her. But he already began to realize what she needed from him. The Singin' Stray saluki wanted to be mated, loved, and cared for by The Artful Terrier. And Dodger was about to do something special for her.

Dodger - "Dixie, I um... I'm not sure what you want me to do for you."

Dixie - "I'm sorry, Dodger... I'm... I'm sorry if I got emotional to you about my Cashie, I'm sorry, is just that... nobody's helping me... I'm all alone. I'm so lonely... I'm so goddamn lonely, and I don't want to wake up alone tomorrow."

Dodger - "Don't be sorry, Dixie. Don't be sad, and don't keep blaming yourself. I'll help you get through this. I'll stay with you... and I'm here for you. You'll never be alone tonight."

Dixie - "I want... you what I want from you, Dodger? I want to be loved... I want to be mated... I need love. I need love from you, street-mutt. Can you give some good lovin,' darlin?"

Dodger - "I can absitively give you that, Beautiful."

Dixie - "Please, Dodger. Give some lovin'... give me some of that good lovin."

He took a step beside her. He began wiping Dixie's tears from her face, he licked and kissed her lips, his flank pressing up against hers, her tail rising as he lowered his muzzle to her glistening slit. Dixie also stole a glance between Dodger's hind legs, seeing his red member emerging from his sheath.

Excited at the view, she wondered whether being a Saluki meant he'd be larger than a pedigree dog and licked her lips in anticipation. Dodger sniffed Dixie's wet slit, his cold nose savoring the scent from her most sensitive area. Carefully he extended his tongue and began to lick, enjoying her little whimpers of joy as he did so. He varied his movements, sometimes going slowly, then a little faster.

Dodger - "Is there anything else you want from me to do, Dixie?"

Dixie - "I want... you know what I want?... I want you to make me feel better, Dodger... I want you to make me feel good... I want you to make me feel good. I want you to make me feel good... Just make me feel good... I want you to make me feel good... Can you make me feel good, Dodger?"

"Can you make me feel good?... Can you make me feel good?... You make me feel good, street-mutt!... Make me feel fucking good! Oh, God! Dodger, I'm so much in fucking heat, I needed to get fucked and fucked hard! I want you to make me feel fucking good!"

Dodger - "How good you want me to make you feel?"

Dixie - "Just make me feel good!... Just make me feel good!... I want to feel good, Dodger... I want to feel good."

Dodger - "I'm a make you feel good so bad, my cock's hard."

He took a long taste of her, his flexible tongue engulfing the pointed tip of her vulva before sliding up along her folds.

Dodger's heart leapt as he heard a soft moan from Dixie, and she turned for him and held her tail aside again, allowing him full access. She was more than ready for him. The Terrier tentatively placed a paw on her back, so as not to hurt her and prepared to mount.

That was all the encouragement he needed. Dodger's glistening, pointed cock pressed against Dixie's entrance, parting her pliable folds. He slid in with surprising ease thanks to his oral lubrication. Slowly, he slid himself further in, until his knot pressed against her folds. She was incredibly tight, as he had expected. Dodger continued to thrust, and she yelped happily.

Dodger - "How does that feel, Beautiful?"

Dixie *Moaning/Panting* - "Ahh!... Ahh, that fucking feels good, Dodger... Fill me up! Fill me up! Fill me up!"

Something deep and primeval stirred within Dodger and he had the urge to howl. Now, at his happiest moment, that same feeling was stirring again. Dodger tilted his head and howled loudly, pushing his knot deep inside her. Now they were truly joined. Dixie responded by howling with him.

Dodger *Panting* - "Oh, My God... you're a wild, lustful bitch, Dixie."

Dixie *Panting/Moaning* - "Ahh!... Fill me. Oh, Dodger... Fill me. Fill me. Ahh!"

Dodger continued to hump her eagerly, his balls slapping against Dixie's hind legs. With a final howl, he came, filling her insides with his seed. Dodger and Dixie were having a wild, and passionate night of sex; he had made her cum for the first time. With his knot swollen and buried deep inside the Saluki, Dodger dismounted, and the two dogs stood back-to-back.

After a half hour of sex, both Dodger and Dixie moaned, panted, struggling to breathe, and whispered.

Dodger - "Oh, God... Dixie... I felt it... I left it like it was the first time."

Dixie - "I felt it, too... I haven't felt anything like that for so long."

Dodger - "Was this good for you, Dixie?"

Dixie - "That was... amazing... wild... incredible. I felt you... I felt you."

Dodger replied, enjoying the fact that they were tied, and his ass was pressed tightly against Dixie's.

"Dodger - "You're Absitively incredible... and beautiful. I felt you, too."

Dixie - "Ohh, good doggie... good doggie... I need you... I need you so much... I need you so much. Thank you, Dodger... Thank you."

Dodger puffed out his chest with pride. They remained joined for several minutes, until Dodger felt the swelling of his knot decrease and he was able to pull out at last. Dixie yelped at the final tug. She turned around, finally seeing all of Dodger's meat, hanging free and dripping.

She teased, before his cock could shrink back into its sheath.

Dixie - "Hey not so fast, you city slicking big boy."

Dodger grinned, helpfully cocking a leg to give her better access.

Dodger - "Hee-hee, sorry."

And Dixie replied, eagerly licking his wet shaft and balls.

Dixie - "That's better, Mmm, big paws, and big balls aren't the only big thing that runs in your family, are they?"

Dodger felt the fur on the back of his neck stand on end. For the first time in his life he was genuinely happy with someone who believes in finding love again. Moments later, Dodger and Dixie began staring at each other's eyes like it was a trance. And the two mates share a deeply passionate kiss like it was the first time.

At around 3:30am, Dodger was already asleep round sleeper sofa at The Claybourne's guest house, but when Dixie came back inside the guest house, she sees the loving Terrier sleeping and resting comfortably. And for the first time since her hubby-mate's death, she began to lie next to Dodger on the sofa bed and sleeps with him.

At first, Dodger can't understand but after he sees Dixie getting close to him and sleeps with him but then, he quickly understands that for the first time since his humiliating breakup from Rita... the country crooning Saluki is now falling in love with him, and he smiles. The two mates looked at each other and gotten comfortable to sleep together, they close their eyes and went to sleep.

The Next Morning...

Back at the Claybourne House, everybody was already going out the door on a busy Saturday.

Rayna, Deacon, and the kids along with Luke Wheeler's family was leaving the house heading to a weekend family outing of fun at Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay in Louisville, Kentucky. Rayna, Deacon, and Luke also had a concert schedule that weekend as well. And while the family was gone to Louisville and parts of the Kentuckiana area for the weekend; Dodger and Dixie were alone together in The Claybourne Family's guest house, and they were waking up to a promising new day.

Dodger - "What a beautiful morning, Dixie. You know, I've could've never been happier."

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger, me too."

Dodger - "I've had a really wonderful time with you last night, Dix."

Dixie - "So did I, Dodger. Not only you've kept me company, but you've helped me pulled my sad emotions right out of the fire... I can never thank you enough."

Dodger - "Nah, Dixie... you helped yourself by getting all the heartache, the anger, the sadness and the rest out of your system. I did too as well."

Dixie - "Say, Dodger, can I ask you a personal favor?"

Dodger - "Sure, Beautiful. Anything for you."

Dixie - "Would you mind staying here with me for this weekend? You see, my mistress and master; Rayna and Deacon along with their family and friends are now away in Louisville, KY for a family weekend outing and they won't be back until late Sunday evening."

"And I would love it a whole lot more is to have you and I spend more time together and get to know a lot more about each other. Like today, I would like to give you a private tour of my home. You've seen the guest house, but you haven't seen the entire home and the estate."

Dodger - "Are you kidding? I don't mind at all, Dixie... I would absitively love it. And I'll be more than happy to keep you company for the whole entire weekend. Show me around the place, Beautiful."

Dixie - "Okay, great. Just come along with me, street-mutt. Let me show you around."

Dodger - "Sure!"

That same morning, Dixie gave Dodger a private tour of The Claybourne Estate. The Singin' Stray Saluki shows him all around the house and the estate on Page Road.

The Claybourne Estate is a long, stately driveway leads to the mansion, of stone, brick, and wood, built to stand through the ages. The 20,533 square foot European Village-Style estate features slate roofing, six bedrooms (five are spacious end suites, and one is a private entry apartment with living, dining, kitchen, and laundry), eight full baths and three half bathrooms.

Next, Dixie also showed Dodger a wide-open view of the countryside estate along with a glorious hillside view of the Nashville skyline. The Artful Terrier never seen anything like it.

Dodger - "Wow... what an amazing view of the city. Nashville never looked so good. I wished the Kid was here to see this beautiful view."

Dixie - "The Kid? Who's the Kid?"

Dodger - "Oliver... I nicknamed him the Kid. He's my best friend, and he's a cat. Truthfully, he's the only best friend I ever have for a feline."

Dixie - "Is that right?"

Dodger - "Mm-Hmm."

The two mates continued walking around the countryside of the estate showing the expansive grounds with a beautiful pond, two-stall picturesque barn, swimming pool with Jacuzzi and cabana with massive fireplace, Porte cochere, all complimented by impeccably landscaped lawns and gardens perfect for large functions and events. Next, Dixie went inside her room and grabbed her custom-made guitar, so she could sing for Dodger.

After Dixie gave Dodger a private tour of the estate, the Terrier and Saluki started licking and kissing as she sneaked Dodger inside the two-stall barn when she saw Dixie's personal assistant and friend, Zelda. Dixie was in a particularly good mood this morning, occasionally bumping her slender frame against Zelda as she walked around the estate and the house.

Zelda - "Hey, Good Morning, Dix. What's with the guitar?"

Dixie - "Oh, Mornin,' Zelda. I was going to play my guitar in the two-stall barn. I'm trying to meditate with music."

Zelda - "Well, you want me to tag along with you?"

Dixie - "Nah, this is the only day I have to focus alone, so I don't want to be disturbed."

Zelda - "Okay. Well, I'm going across the street to have brunch with a friend and neighbor of mine. Bark if you need me for anything."

Dixie - "Alright, girl. Talk to you later."

Meanwhile, Dodger had an idea what was on her mind, it certainly was on his as well. Invigorated they almost paraded each other towards the two-stall barn, ready to share a private time together. Reaching the quiet two-stall barn; Dixie with her guitar began to sing four of The Singin' Strays biggest hits: "We're in Harmony," "We Go Together," "Blue Beyond" and her personal favorite song "Good Doggie, No Bone" to Dodger.

Dodger - Wow... you really sang so beautifully and sensual, Dixie. That first song you had sung "We're in Harmony" really touched me in a way I've never felt before and that's from the heart."

Dixie - "Aww... Thank You, Dodger. I've appreciated that. Say, now that I sang to you my big hit songs, you wouldn't mind if me and you sing one or two songs together?"

Dodger - "Oh, I would absitively love to sing with you, Beautiful... you know any more good songs you want me to sing to you?"

Dixie - "Well, I was hoping you might know one or two songs we can sing together."

Dodger - "Yeah... I know this one song, and it's my signature song. It's called "Why Should I Worry?"

Dixie - "Well, you wouldn't mind singing your signature song to me, street-mutt?"

Dodger - "Dixie... for you... Absitively Posolutely. Let's do this one together, and I'll even help you with the chords and lyrics. I'll teach it to you quick."

Dodger started teaching Dixie the lyrics to his signature song as the Singin' Stray saluki began to learn the chords with her guitar; note by note, lyric by lyric. And in a little less than ten minutes, Dixie was already a fast learner and was ready to play his song.

Dodger began singing and dancing to his song "Why Should I Worry?" to Dixie. And hard to believe, she's already loving his signature song. As she continues to strum her guitar to the tune of Dodger's signature ballad, Dixie began learning the lyrics to his signature song as she was singing a duet of the song with Dodger together.

Dodger - ? One minute, I'm in Central Park ? Dixie - Central Park, Baby ? Dodger - ? And then I'm down on Delancey Street ? Dixie - ? Down on Delancey Street, yeah ? Dodger - ? From the Bow'ry to St. Marks ? Dixie - Bow'ry to St. Marks, Darlin' ? Dodger - ? There's a syncopated beat ? Dixie - ? Beat by Beat, Baby ?

Dodger - ? Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo... I'm streetwise, I can improvise ? D/D (Duet) - ? Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ? Dodger - ? I'm street-smart, and I've got New York City heart ?

Dodger - ? Why Should I Worry? Why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoire-faire ? Why Should I Worry? Why should I care? It's just a be-bopulation, but I got street savoire-faire ? Dixie - Why Should I Worry, Baby? Oh, Yeah ?

Dodger - ? The rhythm of the city, boy, once you get it down, said you can own this town ? D/D (Duet) - ? Then you can wear the crown! ?

D/D (Duet) - ? Why Should I Worry? Tell me, why should I care? Say I may not have a dime, but oh, I got street-savoire-faire ? Why Should I Worry? Why should I care? It's just a do-wopulation, And I street savoire-faire ?

Dixie - ? Ev'rything goes, Ev'rything fits ? Dodger - ? They love at the Chelsea, they adore at the Ritz ?

D/D (Duet) - ? Why Should I Worry? Baby, why should I care? And even when I crossed that line, I got street savoire-faire ?

Dixie - ? Ooh, Why Should I Worry, Baby? ? Dodger - ? whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ? Dixie - ? Why should I care, Darlin'? ? Dodger - ? Said whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ? Dixie - ? My baby may not have dime ? Dodger - "whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ? Dixie - ? I got street savoire-fare, Baby! ? Dodger - ? whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ? Dixie - ? Ooh, Why Should I Worry, Baby? ? D/D (Duet) - ? whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo ?

After about a few songs Dixie and Dodger sang together, the two mates began to get to know a little more about each other. The two mates began to show more affection for one another and continue to find themselves more attractive to each other.

Dixie - "Ohh, Dodger. That was THE most incredible song I've ever heard from an outsider in my life. You sounded so amazing and upbeat; I'm now already falling in love with your signature song. Thanks for letting me sang a duet of your song with you."

Dodger - "Oh, you're very welcome, Beautiful. And Dixie, I'm truly and personally amazed by your talent and your music. You have the voice of an angel, with a sexy body that just won't quit."

Dixie - "Aww, aren't you sweet. Thanks, Dodger. You know something Darlin,' I've never had an outsider from New York City to be a huge fan of country music."

Dodger - "I'm just now becoming a fan of Country Music, ever since last night at The Opry; I've never heard such incredible music and the amazing sounds from so many performers."

Dixie - "Well, Nashville, TN is indeed THE Country Music Capital of the World, and they don't call it Music City for nothing. This is the place where dreams of making it big can turn into a reality, and legends are being made. You'll never know whether it can make you or break you."

Dodger - "You know Dixie, I really love your singing voice, but had to ask you this question. Do you write your own music when you were with The Singin' Strays?"

Dixie - "Yeah, I do. I'd mentioned last night that I do write my own songs, some of the songs I wrote were for the albums that Me, Cash, and members of The Strays did."

Dodger - "Well, after you just sang four of your songs to me earlier and a duet that we did of my signature song... how come you didn't record your own music when you were with The Singin' Strays; I mean what the hell's going on?"

Dixie - "Hmm... I don't know. I kept putting it off and focus on other things."

Dodger - "Ohh... so, you're originally from here, Dixie?"

Dixie - "No, Darlin.' I'm originally from my native home state of Texas. The Lone Star State. I'm originally born in Round Rock and raised in Austin."

Dodger - "Austin, Texas? Wow, I've heard it's an amazing city. Truth is that I've never been to Texas before."

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger; you'll love Austin. It's one of the fastest growing, most popular cities in Texas and America. You see, in my native hometown; we got LBJ Library, The Bullock Texas State History Museum, The State Capital Building, Congress Ave, 6th Street, University of Texas, Pennybacker Bridge, and list goes on and on."

Dodger - "Incredible. I would love to come visit your hometown, Dixie. I would love to see what Austin, TX is all about."

Dixie - "Well, I'll personally show you the sight and sounds of The State Capital soon... that is if we ever get to see each other again."

Dodger - "You know, speaking of Austin... back home in New York, my feline friend, Oliver watches a lot of that music show on TV called "Austin City Limits." It's his favorite program."

Dixie - "That happens to be my favorite show, too. In fact, we were on Austin City Limits twice in 2007 and just recently last year in November of 2009 for a taping of the show... and it's hard to believe it would the last time we would perform on that show before Cash's death. Now, I understand earlier you told me that you have a friend who's a cat, is that right?"

Dodger - "Yeah, his name is Oliver. He's a slender orange tabby kitten. He's very brave, caring, friendly, kind, and most of all... cute. He's intelligent, resourceful, and considerably a fast learner... And not only I've been a father figure to him, but we've been the best of friends ever since. He's absitively perfectly okay... for a cat. Personally, Oliver is a huge fan of Country Music, Contemporary, Soft Rock, and Smooth Jazz."

Dixie - "Well, I would really love to meet your cat friend one day, Dodger... I would love to get to know a cat that has true feelings and compassion for friends and family... unlike my feline friend."

Dodger - "Really, who's your cat friend?"

Dixie - "Her name is Zelda, she's not just my friend, she's also my personal assistant. She's the one who sympathizes with me through my personal pain and feelings. And she's been a great help to me through this time. However, you better watch out, the bitch can be grouchy, gloomy and fucking sarcastic."

Dodger - "Thanks for the heads up, I've better watch out for that."

Dixie - "Indeed. You know, I forgot to ask to ask you Dodger and forgive me if I get too personal... but what's your birthday?"

Dodger - "My birthday... I was born on December 1st."

Dixie - "December 1st?!... Are you kidding me? Dodger, my birthday is on December 1st, too... I can't believe it, we're both Sagittarius Dogs."

Dodger - "Really? Dixie, that's absitively incredible!"

Dixie - "Yeah, Darlin.' My God, I can't believe this. Me and you have so much in common. I'm already can begin to feel the vibe in this chemistry."

Dodger - "So am I, Dixie... So am I."

Already, Dodger turned into her mate, muzzle sliding against his cheek. Dixie whispered, pushing her head underneath Dodger's chin.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger Baby, I can feel it coming."

Dodger obliged, pushing back into her. Eyes closing as their fur slid smoothly against one another. Dodger asked with an almost desperate air to his voice. And Dixie whispered back, quick licks gracing the Terrier's cheek.

Dodger - "How much time before your mistress and master come back home?"

Dixie - "Dodger, I told you. They're in Louisville and they won't be back until late tomorrow evening. So, we have the whole weekend together to get to know more about each other and spend time together. Right now, I'm a bitch in heat and I'm ready for more. I'm ready for you."

Dodger had been waiting to hear it from her, he had sensed the approach of her heat, an irresistible scent that was drawing him in even more than her natural allure. He took in the sweet aroma as he ran his snout through her neck beige fur. Their bodies pressing into one another, tails wagging high into the warm Tennessee air.

Dodger changed the tempo as he began to lick at the back of Dixie's neck. The country crooning Saluki chuckled as she shifted to meet his muzzle with her own. Reaching out, her slim tongue met Dodger's as she was overtaken by his larger, lupine anatomy.

His muzzle shifted to press against hers as their tongues licked against each other. Muzzles tilted, lips sliding across one another's to lock into a canine kiss. Tongues now unabated, dancing within their open jaws. Eyes closing the lovers settled into the comfort of one another.

In moments like this Dodger was privileged to feelings he had spent many lonely nights in his youth dreaming of. He was no longer alone, Dixie, the beautiful Saluki pressing against his body and tongue, longing for more. Her eagerness to accept him drove the Jack Russell Terrier wild, he could feel the passionate energy behind her motions.

Pulling back Dodger smiled, his muzzle connected to Dixie's for a moment with a string of saliva. Dodger sensually whispered as he posed tall in front of his mate. And Dixie responded taking no care to hide the eagerness in her voice.

Dodger - "Would you like to have some fun, Beautiful?"

Dixie - "Ooh, I love to have fun with you when it comes to sex."

Dixie licked at her mate's muzzle with a few more lingering strokes before she rolled onto her back, one foreleg reaching up to rest gently on Dodger's still standing chest. She asked timidly as she settled into position, looking up to Dodger's heavy sheath. Then Dodger answered as he positioned himself along her body, muzzle lowering without a second thought. And Dixie teased as she watched her lover descending upon her.

Dixie - "Me first...?"

Dodger - " Absitively, Baby."

Dixie - "Ohh... Dodger, you're a naughty boy..."

Dodger wasted no time as his muzzle kissed into Dixie's upturned belly. His tongue raking across her beige fur as Dixie wiggled her shoulders into the straws of hay, holding her paw against his strong body. She cooed as Dodger's tongue dug through her fur to kiss her sensitive nipples within her luscious beige fur.

His tongue was slow and controlled, flicking over a long nipple before his thin lips squeezed it gently. Dixie moaned, panted, and sunk deeper, feeling her body more heated and rushed than usual. Her paw rose, pressing down on Dodger's forehead and she gently guided him to her twitching sex. Her legs stretched wide as she felt Dodger moving down along her belly, quick licks teasing the needy Terrier.

Dixie looked to the two-stall barn roof as she felt the cool breeze air replaced by hot breath against her exposed groin.

Dodger took a few breaths through his nose as he let his mind dive into her. Along with her familiar aroused state he smelled her budding heat, even now working to prepare her body for its ultimate purpose, to prepare for him. It was becoming a regular occurrence for Dodger and Dixie to explore one another in this manner.

Their new-found courtship bloomed, their passion is raw and unashamed. Even now they laid on straws of hay in plain view of any dog or human who glanced their way.

Their unusual pairing would normally have caused great disturbance and controversy, but now no one dared to question it. Dodger knew they would still stare as he walked by with Dixie, tails held high with the unmistakable scents of passion on them. It was the unspoken right he gladly claimed.

Being with Dixie granted him loving, caring and bravery he thought he never had. So, if someone was now watching, let them, Dodger thought. Let them watch as he made the most beautiful bitch in town writhe and cry out at his touch, begging him to push her over the peak as his tongue tasted her slender, sexy body.

Forepaws resting upon the straws of hay Dodger dropped down to let his tongue lightly grace Dixie's vulva. He hit then circled around the plump lips, the flesh flexing at his touch. Dixie's body shifted slightly as her head leaned back in approval, her paws held up in the air as her shoulders shifted to dig further into the hay.

Dodger continued his licks against Dixie's quivering spade. At every touch, her vulva relaxed, letting her lover slip in a little further as she yielded to his tongue. Dodger changed pace, pushing straight down the middle of her vulva as he tasted her supple flesh against the flat of his tongue.

Dixie gasped as she felt herself wrapping around the intruding tongue, arching slightly. Driven by pleasure her splayed legs stretched wider into the air as she felt her hips tense and lift from the ground.

Against the Terrier, Dodger's tongue pushed straight down into her vagina. Dodger could feel his tongue reaching its limits as he dove in, mouth open and teeth pushing around her groin. His explorations were met with a rhythmic squeezing of Dixie's hot flesh upon his tongue as he felt the strength of her body around him.

This was just a small taste, a prelude to the unbelievable pleasure and intimacy they would soon share. He felt his sheath bob with its burden as his mind drifted. Snapping back to the moment Dodger allowed his tongue to withdraw and re-position for a more pertinent target.

Pushing upwards it didn't take much to find her quivering nub. Dodger flicked upward as his tongue pushed against the Saluki's sensitive clit.

Dixie's reaction was immediate, she stretched out, paws weakly reaching into the air as she moaned towards the sky. Dodger let his motions swirl and push her quivering nub with strong quick licks.

Settled into position Dodger sped up, his tongue flicking against her nub in rapid successions. Her hips began to roll and buck against Dodger's mouth, her body climbing quickly at the direct stimulation, lost to passion. Dixie's weak pawing into the air turned into desperate grasps as her instincts told her to hold onto something and slam against the pleasure between her legs. Dodger knew her motions and dances well and was ready.

Forepaws reaching and gripping onto Dixie's hips Dodger pulled upward, lifting her lower body into the air as his lapping tongue stayed fixed upon her quivering mound. Dodger sat on his haunches, holding onto the Saluki's lower body as he gripped her securely and prepared for the next stage.

Dixie's desperate, clumsy paws found Dodger's head, roughly pushing down as she pulled him in. Dixie's paws held straight, straining as her hips thrust against Dodger tongue.

Looking down Dodger could see Dixie's shoulders digging into the soft straws of hay, her elegant neck covered by Dodger's lucky red scarf he gave her as her chest rose and fell with her thrashing body. The motion was rapid and desperate, hips rolling in small circles as she squeezed her sensitive flesh against the pleasure.

Her mouth was loose, tongue flopping about as her eyes became unfocused, body thrusting rapidly as Dodger held on and continued his controlled rhythm.

In Dodger's firm grasp her body thrashed, spine and shoulders vibrating against the hay as she was overtaken by the feral drive for pleasure. Dodger stayed strong, holding her hips in his grasp as he continued to slather his tongue against her pulsing spade. Above Dixie's feet kicked into the air, shaking as her toes splayed wide.

She was lost in pleasure, paws holding tight as she let out a weak feminine gasp at every firm pass of Dodger's tongue.

Dixie could only weakly huff into the air as her eyes closed and maw opened wide, hot breath releasing into the cool February air at every sound.

Dodger's eyes were open and fixed, looking down as Dixie's body bucked and moaned below. He had come to love watching Dixie like this, the beautiful, kindhearted Saluki indulging her deepest sexual instincts with the street-dog she now beginning to love.

Dixie was overwhelmed, feeling the love and power of her Terrier mate as he pushed his muzzle against her thrusting groin, her clit mashing against his tongue as every thrust of their combined motions sent her over the edge. A panted Dixie back pressed into the hay, thrashing her hips a little higher. Her trembling paws pulled against the Terrier as his practiced tongue slathered against her canine clit repeatedly.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger Baby! Ah! Ah! Ohhhhh....AHHHHHHH... Ah...!"

As Dixie groaned, feeling her mind awash in sexual release, her hind feet stretching high into the air as they trembled weakly. Her whole body vibrated as her hips continued to thrust, muzzle smiling wide into the air. Dodger still locked to her trembling mound as his licks grew slower, feeling as Dixie kicked a little weaker against him.

Dixie's hips came to a slow halt, the paws on Dodger's head slipping down her body and onto her heaving chest. Dixie giggled lightly as she took in the wonderful pleasure of the moment, her body still tingling from the ride she had against Dodger's muzzle. The powerful forepaws of her lover still wrapped around her hips.

Eyes lazily opening Dixie looked up. Resting between her spread legs was Dodger's head, his chin sitting upon her still twitching vulva.

Dodger's face held a cocky smile, eyes low in his own haze of arousal as he gazed upon his lover.

Dixie brought a paw to her mouth, giggling as she glanced up to his kind brown-hazel eyes. Their young love felt only natural in moments like this. Pushing herself upwards Dixie curled in on her body, slim muzzle pressing against Dodger's broader mouth.

Her tongue flicked across his muzzle, tasting herself as Dodger's lips opened to her. He pushed back down against Dixie, their tongues pressing between their canine lips. Emboldened Dixie pushed upwards, her feet finding the ground as she and Dodger stood back up. Dodger let Dixie lead him backwards, yielding to her tongue as he grinned at her eagerness.

Dixie always got a little saucier after she orgasmed, a wild beast coming to the surface as her mind hummed from the highs of sex. Dodger had come to adore this aspect of her. Pushing forward she took a small step, licking quickly and passionately over Dodger's grinning mouth.

She wanted more; she would have more. Slipping from her lover's kiss Dixie took the moment to shake the straws of hay from her back, throwing it all about as her luscious fur came to rest. looking back up her tongue hung panting, eyes holding a playful deviance towards her lover.

Dixie teased as she walked forward, eyes glancing down at Dodger's heavy sheath and balls as they swung beneath him. The Terrier stood firm, raising, and cocking his head to his rambunctious looking mate. Then Dodger spoke, letting a wide toothy grin settle across his face. Dodger was happy to playfully flirt with Dixie, goading her on as her sexy mood brought his arousal even higher.

Dixie - "Think you're ready to claim this country crooning bitch?"

Dodger - "You should know better than to tease a hungry big city street-mutt."

Dixie whispered up into Dodger's tall ears as she passed, moving down his body, her hips swaying at every step as her curled tail trailed behind. And Dodger groaned, standing tall as his tail wagged high into the air. Posing for his lover and embodying the strength and courage he felt when he was with her.

Dixie - "Hhhmm... Such a big boy... and so passionate."

Dodger - "You're a sweet little bitch... I'm gonna fuck you hard, raw and lock you up tight..."

Dixie - "Ooh... Good Doggie."

Dixie couldn't help but giggle at the thought as she crawled underneath his belly, slipping between his splayed paws.

The Saluki's back brushed against Dodger's chest, her tail wagging slowly as Dodger stood wide and offered his groin to Dixie's hungry muzzle. Dodger moaned out, feeling as her slim tongue teased at the exposed tip of his cock. Around the flesh Dixie's tongue slid, gently pushing back against his furry pouch as a little more of his bright shaft was exposed to her tongue.

Dodger held the position, hips bucking lightly as he struggled to hold himself in check, letting Dixie set the pace under his belly. Dixie's curious tongue slipped down his fuzzy sheath, teasing the swelling knot inside with firm strokes. Her motions moved back along the swelling pouch as she reached the tip and swiped away a drop of precum.

Letting his weight settle onto Dixie's back Dodger's forepaws wrapped around her chest, pulling gently as he settled into the mounted position. Dixie was strong, able to hold up against the Terrier as her fluffy tail absentmindedly swiped against his muzzle. Dodger's nose pressed into her lower back, breathing in her scent as his hips curled inwards to her waiting muzzle.

Dodger slowly eased forward, feeling as his swollen cock pushed from his sheath, catching on the wide knot at his base. Below Dixie's tongue licked across the musky organ, seeing the straining bulb within the sheath she pushed forward, easing the flesh from its prison with her wet tongue.

Dodger's skin grew tight as his knot was slowly unsheathed. At the midpoint, the bulb of flesh popped free, Dodger's furry pouch collecting behind the organ as Dixie's tongue ran across the naked flesh of his knot.

Dodger - "UHHHH... MMPPHH!"

As Dodger groaned aloud as he felt her attention on his knot, underneath his cock gave a healthy squirt of precum across Dixie's face, the Saluki only smiling as she was covered in her lover's scent and taste. Dodger's feral mind begged him to slam forward, to grab on and hump until he was finished, but he resisted. He was more than content to let his beautiful mate explore his body, tease his most sensitive flesh, and taste his essence.

Dodger - "Ughhh... uuuhhh..."

Dodger huffed, feeling his cock jump again as precum sprayed from the tip. Dixie was hard at work, tongue caressing around Dodger's knot as her wide lips struggled to contain his rapidly growing cock. Dodger was large, his knot too wide for Dixie's slender muzzle, but elegant tongue work and her strong passion more than made up for such incompatibilities.

Dixie shifted to swipe around Dodger's knot, teasing the taut flesh as it grew heavier by the moment between her lips.

Dodger felt his long shaft push against Dixie's cheek, sliding over the soft fur of her face as she closed her eyes and enveloped herself in his masculine scent. Dodger's heavy cock wobbled in the air as Dixie's squeezed down on his knot. The Saluki's eager tongue pulling and caressing behind his bulb, flexing as the shaft pointed higher and sprayed a shot of precum into the air.

Dodger - "Ohh, God! Dixie, Baby... t-that tongue..."

Dodger commended, smiling as his own tongue panted into her fur. He huffed out and gave a weak pleasured cry each time Dixie wrapped around and pulled at his pulsing knot. Dixie knew what Dodger loved, they had guided one another from the moment they first met, knowing the delicate sounds, slight motions, and signs of pleasure of their embraces.

Dodger was climbing quickly, already having been worked up from his attention on Dixie.

Feeling his peak approaching Dixie's mouth wandered, slathering quick attention along Dodger's shaft as she pulled back, affectionate little kisses along his throbbing length. Above her Dodger gasped out, eyes straining to look around as Dixie worked to his tip.

Reaching the tapered tip of Dodger's cock Dixie opened wide, guiding the tender flesh into her maw as her tongue slid about the organ.

Dodger's hips kicked weakly as he focused on the sensation of sliding into Dixie's mouth as he squirts against her tongue.

Holding his whole shaft Dixie's long muzzle kissed against the base of Dodger's knot. Dixie's lips opening as her tongue slipped further down, flicking around the firm knot as she renewed her attention against his pulsing glans. Dodger was close, his hind feet shifting in the straws of hay as they stretched long and wide, his groin gently pushing to squeeze his needy bulb against her muzzle.

Dodger grunted, hips involuntarily pushing down against Dixie's attention as his instincts begged him to push the swollen flesh inside.

Forepaws digging into Dixie's chest Dodger came, his mind groaning in pleasure as his hips and cock twitched against his mate's muzzle.

Dodger - "Mhhh... so good... So... MHHH"

Dixie cooed, feeling as the Terrier's cock in her mouth jumped, pumping harder against her lips and tongue as she tasted Dodger's pure seed splashing into her. Her heated mind took special joy from the act, feeling Dodger's overpowering male energy as he gripped around her body, firm cock rocking against her as he came.

He could have any bitch in town, but whether it's from New York or Nashville, he had eyes only for Dixie, a fact that always made the Saluki feel especially grateful to the handsome Terrier. The corners of Dodger's mouth held wide, gasping against Dixie as he let loose. His long canine orgasm finally reaching its peak as another jet of canine cum shot into Dixie's mouth.

The pair held still, Dodger panting as Dixie's long tongue licked across his still pulsing knot. Dodger's eyes were heavy, his body almost falling to sleep upon the soft fur of his mate.

Dixie - "You beginning to be a good doggie, street-mutt."

Dodger - "You sexy, sweet, sweet girl..."

Dodger cooed, his eyes closing as the surging pleasure kept his body in a haze of calming sexual expression. Unable to respond Dixie giggled lightly as she refocused on his spurting cock. He kept shooting, Dixie drinking down every drop as her mind wandered forward.

She was a bit nervous, this would be her second heat, the first was spent inside her home and safe from any prowling dogs. But now she had a mate who's an outsider from New York, a dog that she now trusted, loved and real soon if everything goes her way, she'll wanted to bear her pups.

She would throw herself to the Terrier and know he would catch and embrace her like a true mate. Dixie's overworked tongue hung loosely from her mouth as she panted around Dodger's organ. The dog had reached his peak and was now slowly floating down, her own mouth straining, it was time to slip off.

Opening her mouth, Dixie stretched almost in a yawn as Dodger's squirting cock slipped free, the musky taste of the Terrier still swimming about her senses. Dodger let go of Dixie's body, slipping back to the straws of hay as his tired forepaws fell back to earth. He stretched the limbs briefly, his cock swinging and spurting below his belly.

Both dog and bitch panted as they came back to the world around them. Still glowing from their intimate encounter, a prelude to the mid-morning when their bodies would join in the inseparable canine bond. Dixie's cheek rubbed along Dodger's neck, feeling as he leaned into the attention, his broad forehead and muzzle pushing through Dixie's fur as their gentle motions ended in mutual contented sighs.

Looking to one another the pair gave a gentle kiss, tongue flicking against one another between opened lips. Dodger reached upward and licked away at Dixie's face, cleaning away some of his cum, left over from her handling of his spurting organ. Dixie giggled as she was groomed, turning into his attention, and relishing his affection. She cooed before giving one last peck of her tongue against his muzzle.

Dixie - "Ohh, Jesus... that was fun... and amazing. Thank you, Dodger Baby."

Dodger - "You're so very welcome, Beautiful. You know Dixie, I couldn't believe that you got a mild orgasm. You must of have a high sex drive."

Dixie - "I do... You drove me sexually crazy. And the way you cum on me so much and so fast, I thought you're going to pass out on me. You yourself must of have a high sex drive as mine. Hell, Darlin;' you cum harder and faster than my Cashie."

Dodger - "Really?"

Dixie - "Yeah. My late hubby-mate fucked me somewhat a little slow and average, but not hard and fast. But you... I'd never had an outsider like you that mounting me and fucked me so hard and wild... especially from last night."

Dodger - "Well if you like that... I can fuck you again, but this time I'll even do it anal style."

Dixie - "Really? Ohh, I love that, Dodger... I love anal sex. Truthfully, that's happens to be my personal favorite and my specialty."

Dodger - "For real, Dixie?... anal sex is your favorite?"

Dixie - "Hell Yeah... You see, Cash never fucked me in my anus before. He just rams his cock into my pussy a few times when we had sex. I asked him a dozen times to have anal sex with me, but he just repeatedly said "NO!" many times to the anal sex."

"And the only real reason he repeatedly said no the anal sex is because Cash was afraid that I might shit on his cock while having anal sex, and I was so pissed off mad when he won't fuck me anal style. It just took the air out of the romance when he refused to have anal sex with me."

Dodger - "Dixie, what if I say I'll give the best anal sex you've ever have in a lifetime... right now."

Dixie - "I say, give it to me right row, you street-mutt stud. I want anal sex, and I want it now. I would really love to have some of that anal, sugar."

Dodger - "That'll be my gift... to you, Beautiful."

Dixie - "Ooh... Good Doggie!"

Dodger smiles softly and kisses Dixie in the mouth; their two tongues come together in a passionate kiss. Dodger's tongue moves trying to catch Dixie's tongue, she is trying to do the same. Dodger separates his mouth from Dixie's mouth and looks at her. She smiles and hugs to Dodger, he bites Dixie's right ear and then licks her cheek.

Dodger takes with his mouth Dixie's collar and slowly takes it off, Dixie looks like her black collar falls to her side. She looks at Dodger, he smiles. At around ten o'clock in the morning, Dixie feels that Dodger's saliva soaks her cheek and then he starts down his tongue on her neck and reaches her chest. She feels the hot breath of Dodger on her chest, he caresses circularly Dixie's chest with his nose.

The aroma of Dixie's beige fur is exquisite, and her fur is exceptionally soft. Dodger finds one of Dixie's nipples; it is nearly hidden in the beige fur of his mate. He uses his front paws to spread the fur and see the pink nipple. Dixie takes air when Dodger's mouth closes around her nipple, she moans when the tip of the tongue of Dodger is moving on her nipple. Dodger gently sucks the nipple of his mate.

He had not sucked a nipple since he was a puppy; Dodger uses his tongue to stimulate the nipple, it hardens and highlights more notoriety. Dixie gasps and moans of pleasure feeling as Dodger moves his left front paw on her chest and stomach. Dixie moans when Dodger finds another one of her nipples and caresses it with his paw pads.

Dodger twisted gently the other nipple, he feels as it becomes hardens and Dixie moans of pleasure. Dodger releases the nipple and licks it in circularly motions before moving lower his body on Dixie; she feels that Dodger's nose reaches her stomach. He feels that his nose touches the tail of Dixie, he smiles because she has retracted her tail on her belly.

Dodger looks up to see Dixie, despite the low light, he notices that she blushes. Dixie instinctively had retracted her tail to protect her private area, she knows it's silly, but in her life any male of the town had seen her crotch. She looks at Dodger, he does not seem upset with her, and Dodger. Dixie takes the tail with his paws; he is patting it gently.

Dodger - "Your tail is so beautiful, Dixie."

Dixie - "Thank you, Dodger Baby."

Dodger says looking at Dixie. She is embarrassed while Dodger looks at her. She wags her tail and drops it to the floor, Dodger finally see what Dixie's tail was hiding. Dixie's vulva is surrounded by beige fur. Dodger thinks it's beautiful, he places his paw on Dixie's vulva, and she looks at him with a little fear.

She knew very well what would happen that night. Dixie had reexamined many times in her mind how to act that night, but despite that, she feels insecure. Dodger's paw moves on Dixie's vulva. She lets out a moan of pleasure when Dodger rubs her clit. Dodger smiles and caresses the clitoris Dixie slowly; he sees that his mate shudders, pants, and moans with pleasure.

Dodger pushes a claw; he sees as Dixie's lips splits around his claw when it enters in her, Dixie takes a deep breath and feels as the claw of Dodger is invading her body. She sees that he looks at her crotch carefully. Dodger moves his claw circularly; he does not try to push too far to hurt Dixie. The juices soaks Dodger's claw, Dixie feels as Dodger explores her inside.

Dixie pants quickly, Dodger stops and pulls out his claw. He sees that his claw is bright due Dixie's juices; she sees that Dodger puts his claw in his mouth and sucks it. Dodger places his mouth on Dixie's vulva, she shudders when he starts licking her crevice. The tongue of Dodger divides Dixie's lips with every lick; he tastes the sweet juices of the female.

Dixie trembles with pleasure when Dodger's tongue touches her clit; she moans feeling as her pink point that is touched by the tip of the tongue of Dodger. He moves his tongue on Dixie's clitoris without stopping. Dodger with his paw divides Dixie's lips, he sees the pink interior. Dodger's tongue moves along the edges of Dixie's vagina, he closes her eyes when the tongue enters her vagina.

Dodger closes his mouth around the vulva moves his tongue, Dixie moans and gasps of pleasure feeling as her vagina is caressed by the tongue of Dodger; Dixie's juices surrounds his tongue.

He feels that Dixie's tail is moving under her neck and chest, she wags her tail quickly. Dixie observes as Dodger's head is between her legs, she feels the hot breath of Dodger on her stomach. Dixie pants and moans louder and digs her claws into the straws of hay when she feels a burst of intense pleasure within her body; her vision is clouded as she shakes her body. Dodger hears as his mate is whining of pleasure.

He feels that Dixie juices stain his face; he is surprised when some juice spurts fall in middle of his eyes. Dodger closes his mouth around the vulva and licks to not waste that precious liquid. Dixie moans feeling as waves of pleasure when Dodger's tongue touches her clit. She has troubles to push Dodger head, so he could not continue. Dodger is happy seeing as his mate breathes heavily; her chest is expanding and diminishing rapidly.

Dodger sits and watches her in silence, anytime she looks beautiful. He remembers the moment he saw her for the first time and his heart pounded in his chest feeling his minds in the clouds. Dixie opens her eyes and looks at Dodger while she is recovering; she gets up and looks a bit dizzy, Dodger smiles. Dodger kisses her on the mouth; their tongues of are intertwine and fight in their mouths, saliva drops to the hay.

They separate their mouths; Dixie licks the saliva and laughs softly looking at Dodger. She stands up and surrounds Dodger slowly; he feels that Dixie's tail gently caresses his chin.

Dodger *Thinking* - "She's fucking sexy-beautiful, and very hot."

Dodger thinks sees as fire highlights Dixie's fur. Dixie gives a twice around Dodger, she sits at the side of the stomach of Dodger. "Big" Dixie thinks when she sees the sheath and balls of Dodger; she takes the white sheath and starts jerking it off. Dixie feels as Dodger's cock hardens quickly into the sheath.

The tip of the penis appears through the opening, a drop of precum is already formed at the tip and it is close to fall to the ground. Dodger trembles and moans when Dixie licks the tip of his penis, she closes her mouth around it and starts sucking.

Dixie moves her tongue on the tip of the penis Dodger; she feels the first taste of a penis. Dixie moves her tongue as she recalls what she had practiced this in front of her friends. Dodger moans and gasps of pleasure, he feels that his penis grows slowly in the warm mouth of Dixie; his shaft rubs the teeth of his mate.

Dixie's mouth is filled with Dodger's meat, she slowly shakes her head and sees that Dodger's knot get swollen at the base of his cock, and she swallows hard by the size of the knot of Dodger. She is not sure, if she would be able to take that into her vagina.

Dodger gasps and moans, Dixie's nose repeatedly touches his knot. Dixie gagged when the tip of the penis Dodger enters her throat. She takes out the dick from her mouth and breathes rapidly while Dixie is holding the erection of Dodger with her paw.

Dixie again places his penis in her mouth and moves her head; Dodger feels that his penis slowly enters in the mouth of Dixie. She closes her eyes and pushes her head to let that Dodger's penis enters in her throat.

Dixie tries to breathe through the nose, as her friends had taught her. Dodger moans and gasps of pleasure feeling as the throat muscles of Dixie are working on his throbbing member, nose, and lips of Dixie touches Dodger's knot. Dixie stays in the same position as she gets used to the feeling, a couple minutes later she pulls out the cock of her mouth.

Dixie coughs a little, she sees as her saliva falls from Dodger's cock.

Dodger feels that his mate resumed her licks on his penis; he feels that his balls release cum. Dixie sees that a spurt of cum goes flying offs the tip and falls on her nose and right eye. She closes her mouth around the tip of the penis and sucks it; she feels the spicy flavor and creamy of Dodger's cum.

She swallows while she is moving her paw on Dodger's penis to try to extract more semen. Dodger's semen runs out after a few moments, he moans and trembles feeling that his sensitive penis is sucked by Dixie. She takes out the cock from her mouth and licks it slowly.

She concentrates her licks at the tip while he masturbates to Dodger using her front paws, Dodger's erection does not lose its hardness thanks to caresses and licks of Dixie. Dodger feels as starts to move her head and lick his penis. The tongue moves from the tip of the penis to the knot; he feels that his erection is in the middle of Dixie's ears.

Dixie licks Dodger's knot, she does it slowly. His tongue smacks every corner of the knot. Dodger feels that Dixie begin to focus her licks on both testicles, Dixie's tongue soaks the furry sacks. She places her mouth on the right testicle and sucks.

Dixie sucks both balls in stride, and she licks them with care. Dodger feels as Dixie moves and rubs her body against his as she stands behind him. Dixie puts her head between her legs and licks her knot Dodger and balls from behind.

She licks her mate's genitals slowly; she has her sights set based on Dodger's tail.

Dixie *Thinking* - "Can I do this?"

Dixie asks herself as she thinks about what her friends had taught her and assured her that Dodger will enjoy it. Her first reaction was surprise and show erotically at the proposal. At first, she had also found it attractively and sexually the idea of putting a penis in her mouth, but she loves the taste of Dodger's hard shaft, besides his precum.

Dixie *Thinking* - "I will not be in vain after so many hours of practice."

Dixie thinks remembering as she had practiced this with her friends. Dixie with a flick moves Dodger's tail and places her mouth on her mate's anus. Dodger opens his eyes in surprise when Dixie starts licking his sphincter quickly, he moans and gasps of pleasure. This is a phenomenal feeling to Dodger; he wanted to feel it again since his mating with his ex, Rita.

Dixie slows her licks on the sphincter of Dodger; she hears the moans of pleasure of her beloved mate. A paw fondles Dodger's balls while Dixie's tongue is soaking with saliva the Terrier's tailhole. Dodger's tail is between the ears of Dixie, she places the tip of her tongue in the center of the sphincter of Dodger and pushes.

Dodger moans and pushes his ass on Dixie's face; she feels as her tongue gets access to Dodger's anus.

Dodger - "Dixie... Baby..."

Dodger moans. He feels that Dixie tongue moves inside him, she moves her tongue touching the inner folds of the anus of Dodger. Dixie closes her paw around the penis and masturbates to Dodger. She feels that the erection gets harder, Dodger's tongue is hanging from his mouth as he completely enjoys what Dixie does. Dixie's paw increases the pleasure of Dodger, and he feels his balls are ready to release his seed.

Dodger - "Dix... I cannot..."

Dodger says as he closes her eyes. Dixie takes out her tongue. She takes Dodger's penis and moves it in backward direction between her legs.

Dodger groans when Dixie's mouth closes around his cock, he releases his semen that fills the mouth of Dixie.

Dixie's feels as her mouth is filled with copious seed of Dodger, some of the jets of cum fall on the inner walls of her cheeks. Dixie swallows and tries not to waste any of that creamy substance that builds up in her mouth while she sucks and Dodger moans of pleasure. Slowly decrease the amount of semen and stops, Dixie releases the cock of Dodger.

Dodger's penis is hanging between his legs. Dodger's cock shines by light of fire and white drops of semen are falling and staining the carpet. Dodger pants quickly with satisfaction, he groans when Dixie's tongue touches the tip of his penis.

Dixie picks the dropping sperm with her tongue tip; she masturbates Dodger with her paw. The pleasure is almost painful to Dodger; he feels that his sensible meat is caressed by his mate again. Dixie closes her paw around the erection of Dodger and moves it, she feels as Dodger's stirred with pleasure. Dixie achieves that Dodger's penis does not lose its hardness after he ejaculates.

Dixie - "Dodger... Stud..."

Dixie says as he continues jerking off Dodger's erection, he opens his eyes and lowers his head to see between his front paws.

Dixie - "How do Jack Russell Terriers like you mark their territory..."

Dixie asks looking at Dodger, he is embarrassed.

Dodger - "Uhmmm... Ehhh"

Dodger said uncomfortably. He knew the answer and senses that Dixie knows it, but it's hard to say.

Dixie - "Do it Dodger ... mark me as yours."

Dixie says as she points Dodger's penis to her face. Dodger was surprised and remembers what happened with Dixie.

Dodger feels excited at the thought of repeating it; he relaxes and does not divert his attention from Dixie. Dodger groans when he releases his urine, he sees a yellow liquid jet from the tip of his penis and falls on the head and body of Dixie. She has her eyes closed feeling the hot, liquid trickles through her body, soaking her beige fur.

Dixie closes her mouth around the tip of the penis Dodger; he moans and sees as Dixie's cheeks swell. Dixie perceives the taste of urine of Dodger on her tongue; she swallowed the warm liquid; it slides down by her throat and reaches her stomach. Dodger feels that the last of his urine falls from the tip of his penis; he sees Dixie opens her mouth and loses his penis. Dodger groans when she licks the tip to savor the last drops.

Dodger and Dixie look at each other, she makes a sexy grin. She stands up and takes a few steps to approach the fire.

She looks at Dodger and smiles stroking her mate's chin with her tail. Dodger sees that she moves her tail aside and completely exposes her slit to him. Dodger had expected this since he and Dixie entered in the hay barn; Dodger places himself behind Dixie, he mounts her. Dodger grabs Dixie hips and moves his hips while he gets ready to enter in her.

Dixie is nervous, is the only part that had not practiced, she could have torn her hymen by herself to avoid problems in her first time with Dodger. But she did not want to deprive Dodger this, he deserved it and she wants that this were some special for both. The tip of the Dodger's penis touches Dixie's vulva.

The tip divided Dixie's vaginal lips while Dodger pushes. Dodger is struggling to stay in control of Dixie. Dodger moans with delight when his penis is wrapped in the warm and soft vaginal walls of Dixie. Dixie sighs and closes her eyes, she felt as the walls of her vagina are being stretched, and it's a strange feeling because she had never gotten more than a claw in her vagina.

She moves her paws slightly with some discomfort due the weight of Dodger on her, plus she's a little nervous.

Dixie feels the tip of the penis touching her hymen, she feels tense because she knows immediately that this would hurt. One time, Dixie's close-personal friend from San Francisco; Sasha La Fleur (Irish Setter) had told her it was no big deal, but she's a veteran in this, and so was her. Dodger feels Dixie's muscles tighten; he gently is biting her ears before kissing Dixie's neck from behind and caresses her cheek affectionately.

Dixie turns her head to see to Dodger, he kisses her passionately on the mouth. Dixie closes her eyes and meets her tongue with Dodger's tongue while they have their mouths as one. Dodger pushes his cock and tears the hymen of Dixie; the moan of pain of Dixie is barely audible because she has her mouth united to Dodger's mouth. He separates his mouth of Dixie's; she feels some sweet southern comfort.

Dixie - "Dodger... Slow."

Dixie asked when he feels as Dodger starts in and out his cock of her vagina. Dixie moves her claws anxiously as she has her eyes are closed; she feels as the penis moves slowly inside her. Dodger moves his hips slowly, he wants Dixie gets used, the feeling is wonderful for Dodger.

Dodger starts pumping his cock faster; Dixie moans and pushes her butt to increase the pleasure.

Dixie - "Fuck me Dodger... Fuck Me Hard, Darlin."

Dixie pleads feeling incredible pleasure in her body. She had not felt pleasure like this before. Dodger stoops on Dixie quickly, he feels that his knot is soaked with juices of Dixie, the splash is heard each time that the knot touches touch the wet vulva of Dixie, she feels the squirts of precum dot the walls of her vagina.

Dodger makes his thrusts most furious and wild; Dixie drools and moans with pleasure as her body rocked by Dodger's thrusts. Dixie moans in pain as the knot dilates her pink entrance.

Dodger holds harder Dixie's hips; he thrusts his hips feeling like his instincts compels him to tie his female. Dixie moans of discomfort and yields when her opening is stretched, and Dodger's knot enters. Dixie had never felt so full in her life; she feels as her vagina is filled with Dodger's meat. He speeds up his thrusts feeling that his pleasure is increased; the sensation of orgasm begins to be present within Dixie.

She moves paws with impatient feeling that sensation of intense heat grows stronger with each thrust of Dodger. He stops and howls when he releases his sperm inside Dixie, she for the first time in her life raises her head and howls with Dodger when she feels his orgasm.

Dixie feels like Dodger's sticky semen smear the walls of her sensitive vagina; her juices are abundant and surround the penis of Dodger. He grits his teeth feeling as Dixie's vaginal walls squeeze his cock hard. They moan and pants with satisfaction, Dixie sees to Dodger over her shoulder at Dixie, Dodger kisses her on the mouth. Their tongues fight while they are sharing their saliva. Both separated their mouths; Dodger crosses his leg to be in position of tail with tail with Dixie.

Their tails are intertwined by chance; Dodger looks the soft and well care fur of Dixie's tail is intertwined with his unruly hair and grayish fur of his tail. Dodger sees to Dixie; she looks at him with an expression of love and affection. They wait until the knot Dodger decreases in size.

Dodger pulls out his penis, he, and Dixie moan in pain as both pull in opposite directions. Dixie feels as the opening of her vagina expands once when Dodger's penis begins to get out of her inside. A final pull and Dodger feel as his penis is hanging from his stomach, he sees as his semen and juices of Dixie fall in drops from the tip of his penis. Dodger is surprised when Dixie pushes him gently, and she leans him on the floor.

She's over him, Dixie smiles and kisses him on the mouth gently before turning around. Dodger sees Dixie's vagina is over him. Dodger moans when Dixie engulfs his penis and starts sucking, she lowers her hips, so her vagina is close to the mouth of Dodger. He licks her opening directly; Dodger perceives the taste of her own cum mixed with Dixie's juices.

Dixie sucks Dodger's cock while she moves her head, she downs her head and Dodger's shaft enters in her throat. She as his mate's cock begins to recover its size and hardness. Dixie feels as precum spurts are hitting her throat; Dixie's nose touches the knot. Meanwhile Dodger moves his tongue into Dixie's vagina; he caresses Dixie's stomach and stimulates the nipples hidden in the fur.

Dixie's tail is wagging uncontrollably as she enjoys the pleasure, she trembles feeling the hot breath of Dodger on her tail hole. Dodger feels the scent of that small wrinkle under Dixie's tail. Dodger starts pushing his penis in Dixie's mouth, she feels light pain in her throat due Dodger's thrusts, and he in turn feels the need of air when his nose gets between Dixie's vaginal lips. She shakes her ass quickly moans with pleasure that is rapidly increasing.

Dixie moves suddenly and departs from Dodger. Dodger and Dixie are breathing excitedly while they look at each other, Dodger feels as his penis throbs; he feels that climax was close. Dixie feels as her crotch is wet with her juices. Dixie sees with a smile to Dodger; she wags her tail in a slowly and suggestively way for Dodger.

He stands up and walks over to Dixie with the intention of mount her, she walks away and jumped up on some large straws of hay that is close.

She leans back on the straws of hay; her head is leaning on the backrest while her ass is to the edge of the haystack; her tail is hanging over the edge. Dodger approaches while his precum is spread on the hay. He walks over to Dixie; she opens her legs wide and moves her tail while Dodger sits in front of her.

Dixie - "Dodger, fuck my asshole..."

Dixie says while she uses one claw to gently caress her anus and inviting to Dodger. Dodger smiles and puts his mouth on Dixie's tail hole. She takes a breath and moans when Dixie starts licking the region under her tail, she feels that the rough tongue of her mate passed again and again on her anus delicately. Dodger perceives the taste; it is not disagreeable at all.

Dodger places his paw on pink crevice of Dixie, she moans, pants, and sees that Dodger is caressing her clitoris with his paw, and he introduced one of his claws into her vagina. He moves his claw while he is licking the other hole of Dixie.

Dixie - "Dodger, you fucking street-mutt ... yes ... yes ... eat my ass."

Dixie says stroking the head of Dodger. She moans with pleasure; the tip of the tongue tries to penetrate Dixie's anus. Dodger increases his caresses on Dixie's vagina.

She moans and suddenly feels as the tongue of Dodger penetrates her, she closes her eyes and moans feeling as Dodger's tongue moves inside her rectum. Dodger feels the pressure of the anal muscles of Dixie on his tongue; he feels that Dixie's juices soak his nose.

Dixie writhes with pleasure and lets out a moan as she feels an orgasm; Dodger has troubles to take out his tongue because it is trapped inside the ass of Dixie. He manages to pull out his tongue; Dixie is heaving breathing while she is not moving and continuous lying down on straws of hay.

Dodger sees as paw is soaked in the juices of Dixie, he collects juices of Dixie's vagina and begins to scatter them on the anus of Dixie, she moans softly as she feels that Dodger soaks her anus with her own her juices. Dixie growls when Dodger pushes one of his claws that enter in her anus, Dodger slowly move his claw in circles to prepare Dixie. She moans when another claw enters in her ass.

Dodger moves his claws in circles and then in and out them, Dixie's anus slowly loosens its resistance until Dodger can easily move his claws. Dodger stops and takes out his claws. Dodger stands in two paws; he puts his two front paws on the haystack while Dixie is under him. Dodger looks at his hips and points his penis, Dixie groans when Dodger buries his penis into her swollen cunt.

He begins to move on Dixie, she moans of pleasure just like Dodger.

Dixie - "Dodger ... my ass."

Dixie says moaning, panting, and looking at Dodger.

Dodger - "I know, Baby ... I do not want to break your ass painfully."

Dodger says as he fucks Dixie, she moans of pleasure until Dodger stops, he withdraws his penis from Dixie's pussy.

Dixie's juices are dripping from Dodger's penis abundantly, this is what he wanted. Dodger drops his hips a little and the tip of his penis touches the anus of Dixie. She takes a deep breath and prepares herself to receive the massive erection of her mate. Dixie is a little nervous, she had much practice with anal sex, but now she had offered her ass to Dodger.

The tip of the penis presses Dixie's sphincter. She moans in pain as the tip of the penis enters in her anus, Dodger pauses a moment, he perceives the internal warm of Dixie on the tip of his penis. Dodger pushes his penis penetrating to Dixie some few inches before stopping again.

Dixie's claws scratching the flooring of the two-stall barn. She grits her teeth and breathes deeply.

Dixie has her eyes closed in pain as her mate's erection gains ground in her ass. She begins to masturbate to relieve her pain as her anus molds to girth of Dodger's cock. Dodger moans of pleasure, the ass of Dixie is tight, much more than her vagina. Dodger slowly pushes; he is fighting for not releasing his cum due to the pressure of the anal walls that stimulate his penis.

Dixie feels a burning sensation in her rectum; she had not felt anything like this in her life. Dodger stops when his shaft is inside the anus of Dixie. Dodger looks at Dixie and smiles, she smiles back. Dodger starts moving slowly over Dixie, she moans feeling some discomfort.

Soon the moans of discomfort of Dixie become moans of pleasure; she feels that each nerve fiber of her ass is stimulated by the hard member of her mate. Dodger is enjoying Dixie's tight anal passage; he feels as the sphincter of Dixie moves on his cock as it in and out. Dodger wags his tail while he and Dixie enthusiastically enjoy their lust.

Dodger thrusts are powerful, he moans as his shaft rubbed Dixie's anal walls.

Dixie - "Knot me, Dodger... fucking knot me!"

Dixie asked amid groans.

Dodger - "Dixie... my knot is exceptionally large."

Dodger says while he groans and looks at Dixie.

Dixie - "I don't care, Baby... push it, Dodger Baby, fucking push it!"

Dixie says moaning. He digs his claws into the cushions and pushes his knot against the anus of Dixie; Dodger increases the pressure until he feels as the sphincter of Dixie wraps his knot. Dixie gives a very loud scream feeling one intense pain as she never had in her life; she feels as her intestines are burning with pain.

Dodger licks the tears that are sliding down by the cheeks of Dixie. Dodger resumes his thrusts and Dixie again is moaning and panting with pleasure. She closes her front legs around the neck of Dodger. Dodger's thrusts become stronger.

Dodger - "I am Cumming, beautiful... I am cummi..."

Dodger says but he is cut by Dixie when she kisses him on the mouth. They kiss passionately while her moans of ecstasy are silenced in their mouths. Dodger feels that his balls release his cum.

Dixie perceives as the warm spurts of sticky cum soaks the walls of her anus, she feels an immediate orgasm and Dixie's juices soaks the stomach and the lower region of the body of Dodger. Waves of pleasure fills Dixie's body, she holds the neck of Dodger.

Dodger collapses on Dixie, they pant intensely. Dixie affectionately licks Dodger's face, he smiles and kisses her on the mouth for a few moments, when the knot size decreases in size, Dodger pulls out his cock, some droplets fly and fall on Dixie and on the floor and on some straws of hay.

She laughs when semen drops fall on her face, Dodger moves on the hay and places his cock directly on Dixie's face, he lowers his hips, and his penis enters the mouth of Dixie. She begins to gently suck on her mate's member. Dodger starts licking the anus of Dixie; she moans while her mate carefully and lovingly cleans her. Dodger's tongue can easily enter through the red and dilated sphincter of Dixie.

Dixie meanwhile licks Dodger's cock to clean it complete. She put especially attention on his knot, Dixie does not leave a single corner without be cleaned. When they finish their mutual cleaning, Dodger lies next to Dixie.

Dixie - "Ohh, God. Ohh, Jesus... Fuck, Dodger... That was the most exciting... erotic... incredible... and an amazing anal sex I've ever had with you in my life. That anal sex was beautiful."

Dodger - "Oh yeah, it was so beautiful... but almost as lovely, sexy and beautiful as you are, Dixie."

Dixie - "Ohh, thank you, Dodger Baby. You know, for an outsider I've found you very sexually attractive. I bet you all the bitches from your home in New York would be interested and want to mate a stud street-mutt like yourself."

Dodger - "Well, I have to admit; I'm just an upbeat street-dog who's a ladies mutt. I'm all about street savoir-fare. I'm streetwise and I improvise. I'm the coolest quadruped in The Big Apple."

Dixie - "There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, or in otherwise in your words... Absitively."

Dodger - "You really began to like my signature quote."

Dixie - "Liked it?... I absitively love saying that word. I'm going to remember that word for a long as I live."

The two shared a kiss together and took a quick nap in the two-stall barn. Two hours later, Dodger wakes up from his nap feeling genuinely nice and pleasant feeling underneath his balls. He opens his eyes only see Dixie's ears between his hind legs. Dodger moans feeling as Dixie is licking his sphincter, his tail is hanging on the edge of the hay, and his penis is erect resting on his stomach.

Dixie - "Afternoon, Dodger Baby."

Dixie says raising his head a moment and licking her mouth. She lowers her head again and starts licking the anus of Dodger; he moans and holds the cushion firmly with his front paws. Dixie licks in a loving way; she moved the tip of his tongue in circles on the Dodger's tail hole. He feels that Dixie's saliva soaks his tail fur.

Dodger - "Afternoon... do you like eating my ass, Dixie my love?"

Dodger asks and places his paw on his erection and begins masturbating.

Dixie - "I like what you like, if you enjoy this, I can do this all day."

Dixie says smiling raising his head and licks Dodger's balls. She sucks his balls and then licks the entire length of Dodger's penis before putting it in her mouth. The sucking sound breaks the monotony of the environment; Dodger moans and sees as Dixie moves her head. Dixie uses her front paws to keep the hind legs of Dodger open.

Dodger sees as his shaft disappears into Dixie's mouth and her nose touches the knot. She stays in that position for a moment before removing the penis from her mouth. She licks the erection of Dodger before smiling and walks away from him. Dodger immediately jumps off the straws of hay and standing behind Dixie to mount her, but she moves to stop it. Dixie laughs mischievously few moments while Dodger looks at her with confusion but laughs it off.

Dixie - "Hey Dodger, I want to show you something. If I don't do it now, I will forget it."

Dodger - "Sure, that's understandable."

Dixie - "Come on, let's go inside the house... I'll show you Rayna's master bedroom."

Dixie said looking at Dodger. He nods, but still confused by the actions of Dixie, she leads him to the house. The pair stood outside the two-stall barn and waited as Dodger's cock slowly retreated into his sheath.

Now finished dog and bitch walked back to The Claybourne House. Along the way Dixie's body bumped against Dodger's as she laughed up with him. Dodger returned the favor as they playfully walked against one another down the countryside.

They went upstairs and entered in Rayna's master bedroom, Dodger smiles softly after seeing photos of Rayna's two daughters: 11-year-old Madison (Maddie) and 7-year-old Daphne, her family, friends, her husband Deacon, her father, Lamar, and Dixie. Plus, he sees some teddy bears she kept as a kid.

Dodger still thinks that Dixie can be an incredibly good successful singer/songwriter in the future. Dodger sees everything until above the bed is an image that draws the attention of Dodger. He sees a drawing of Dixie done by Rayna's daughters, Madison, and Daphne.

Is not a work of art by a famous painter, but it does that Dodger feels full of excitement and joy. In the bottom of the drawing there is a paragraph "My Dixie." Dodger feels so excited and happy to see that image; he knows that Rayna's two girls love the Saluki.

Dixie - "Madison and Daphne made this for me while their mother was on tour with another legendary queen of country, Reba McEntire."

Dodger - "That's real beautiful. Your mistresses kids must be good drawing artist."

Dixie - "Oh, thanks Dodger. Maddie's an amateur and Daphne's a beginner."

Dixie says looking at Dodger. Dodger is happy, and he is wagging her tail. Dixie gets close to the window, she wants to open it, but it is difficult. Dodger opens it without much difficulty, long front paws served for something. Dixie rests her front paws on the windowsill and sees the houses and the street.

She sees that there is already movement in the streets of Page Road in Nashville's private gated neighborhoods, dogs and people come and go on the street. Dixie and Dodger enjoys the sun on their faces and feeling the cool breeze right out of the blue clear sky. The two shared another passionate kiss for ten minutes, their intimate scents still clinging to one another and marking them as lovers.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger... This has been the best day I've ever had with you in my life."

Dodger - "Mine too, Dixie... I hope our weekend courtship last forever."

Dixie - "Absitively... Posolutely."

Dodger - "I... I think I'm falling in love with you, Dixie."

Dixie - "I have that same vibe, too Dodger. I'm think I'm falling in love with you, too... you want to go out and take a long stroll into the forest?"

Dodger - "Absitively, Baby."

Dixie - "Well, let's go city slicker. Let me show you around. Later, I want to taste some more of you."

Dodger - "Sure! Lead the way, Beautiful."

While Dodger and Dixie were out on evening stroll in the forest, he walked around to a different spot on the edge of the pond. Dixie walked right back into the water to cool herself some more. While Dodger follows, Dixie gracefully bonds across the stream while Dodger splashes across, Dixie giggles.

Next, Dodger and Dixie were walking side by side, and they spotted a family of quails. She counts the chicks as they hop across in front of them.

Dixie - "Look! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 7! Ha-Ha! *Joyful* Ohh... I think six would be exactly right."

Dodger - "Six?... Six What?"

Dixie giggles and laughs as they continue walking. After that, Dodger and Dixie watched the sun going down and the moon rising with the stars glittering from the sky above. Later, the Terrier and Saluki are walking side by side. The two mates watched the waterfall with the lake in front, then they looked up into the moonlit clear night sky and imagined how happy his life was now after a difficult January.

He couldn't imagine life without his mate. Dodger and Dixie enter and head towards the water's edge as they then sit, cuddle, and kiss some more.

One Hour Later...

After Dodger was staring at the moonlit sky, he heard sobs. He turned to see Dixie standing in the pond with her head down staring at the red scarf Dodger gave to her in memory of Cash. Her back was towards him when he heard her sobbing. Dodger walked up from behind to confront her.

Dodger - "Dixie?... Dixie are you okay?"

Dixie turned around to face Dodger. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked up at her mate.

Dixie *sobbing/crying* - "Oh, I'm sorry, Dodger... I'm sorry you had to see me cry like this... this was me and Cashie's favorite spot in the forest. We come here more often for a little privacy time... Dodger, I missed my husband-mate so much. I wished I had one more day with him. Why is this happened to me?... Why did he had to die?... Why did he had to leave me all alone like this?"

She continued sobbing.

Dixie *cont. sobbing/crying* - "When my Cashie died, I'd lost a part of me... I've been lost, saddened, and depressed without him. And I have been so devastated and heartbroken on the day he died... I just couldn't move on without Cash in my life, but... it's too hard for me to move on without him... I miss him, Dodger... I miss him so much."

She put her head down and continued crying. Dodger couldn't bear to see Dixie like this as he continued to hear her sob and she was still shedding tears.

Dodger - "Dixie... I know it's hard for you to move on with your life without your mate, and although I'd never had met the Bloodhound, but I wish I'd gotten to know him. I said it before, and I'll say it again... Cash is gone... but he'll never be forgotten. He'll forever and always be in spirit... because he lives in you. That's why I gave you my red scarf in memory of him, because I wanted you have something for you to hold onto."

Dixie - "That's real sweet of you to say that Dodger. You're a real nice dog to say the special things that make it special... I mean, look at you... you're an outsider... and you're different. You and Cash are two different breeds. Cash was a country Bloodhound and you're a city slicking Jack Russell Terrier. But the one thing you and Cash do have in common is because you both wore the same red scarfs. Cash wears his like a stick-em-up bandana, and you wear yours like a cape."

Dodger - "Yeah, that's true. Maybe I'm different than Cash, but I'm not taking his place... Dixie, I know it feels to lose someone you love. Remember, I was heartbroken and sad, too when I lost my master to cancer last year. And last month, my mate cheated, broke up with me and left me to be with her pimp Dobie lover... I want you to know that you're not alone on this one... you'll never be alone."

He slowly lowered his head down below hers. Using his muzzle, he lifted her head back up, so he could look into her pretty eyes. Then he slowly licked the tears off her face. Dixie felt so comfortable with his tongue on her face. When he was finished, he looked again into her eyes and then, almost immediately, placed his lips onto her lips, kissing her.

Dixie gasped. She was caught by surprise as she found herself kissing Dodger. She had kissed him before. But this kiss felt much smoother and more comfortable to her. It seemed to be breaking her sadness. She was always so attracted to Dodger. And she was never attracted to any other male dog in her life. She found neither of them with a great heart like Dodger. And now here she was, kissing with her mate, with the dog that she really loved the most. She relaxed and shut her eyes as she continued to kiss him. Her tail rosed up in affection.

The two lovers continued to kiss each other with passion. Then they stood up briefly on their hind legs and fell into the cool shallow water.

They floated on top of the water kissing. Then they swam back to the edge and laid down on the ground as they continued to kiss.

Dodger was on his back with Dixie on top of him. They kissed with desires and then flipped onto their sides. Soon, they began to lick each other's face and kiss at the same time. Then they stood up, sat down on their hind legs, and resumed embracing each other. As Dodger continued to kiss his beautiful mate, he put his big front paws around her. Dixie put her tiny paws around his neck.

They licked and kissed each other some more. Dodger was loving this moment. He slowly ran his paws down Dixie's back. Then he ran them back up to her neck. Then he ran them down her back slowly once again. Dixie moaned at this. She was loving it. Then instead of bringing his paws back up, Dodger kept them down toward Dixie's beautifully curled beige tail.

He put his paws down deeper until he felt his paws touching Dixie's ass. Then he slowly began to rub her ass. Dixie moaned a little louder. She was loving this a whole lot more. Eventually, they paused from kissing and licking. Dixie laid down on her back with Dodger standing on top of her.

Dodger looked down at his beloved mate and slowly ran his paws up and down her curves for a moment. Dixie looked at him and gave him a nod of permission. With lust, Dodger stuck out his tongue and began to lick Dixie's body. He first started to lick her neck and chin. She leaned her head back to give him more access. Her moaning resumed. Then Dodger went down and licked all six of her nipples.

Dixie felt so relaxed by his warm tongue. Next, Dodger went down to lick her belly. Her moans grew louder. Finally, Dodger slowly ran his tongue from Dixie's belly up to her neck and chin. She moaned and panted more. She was loving this too much.

When her mate was finished licking her body, Dixie stood up with the seductive smile and nuzzled Dodger with her head and shoulder. She slowly walked under his head and gently stroked her soft and beautiful curled beige tail under his chin. Then she walked in a circle in a sexy way in front of Dodger.

Dodger loved to see his mate full of happiness. And he also loved the way she was turning him on. When his mate was finished making more sexy poses, she suddenly faced away from him and looked back at him with her smile. Dixie raised her curled beige tail and started shaking her ass at him once again.

Dodger's eyes widened with love. He had never seen such an unbelievably beautiful girl dog like Dixie. He would never think of any other girl more beautiful and sexier like Dixie. And her ass was most attractive to Dodger just like her special beauty. He stood and watched as Dixie came close to Dodger by walking backwards and then lifted her ass to his chin, resting her breast on the ground.

She smoothly grinded her pussy underneath his head. Dodger was very aroused by Dixie. He enjoyed every moment in this romantic time with the love of his life. Soon, Dixie pulled away and walked a couple steps away from her handsome mate. She looked back at Dodger and made a quick point with her head and eyes at her tail, granting him permission.

Dodger walked over to Dixie from behind and looked down at her. He lowered his head and then started licking and nibbling her pussy. Dixie giggled and sighed. She was feeling the relaxation that gave her heart warmth. She believed in Dodger and loved him with all her heart. She always believed him as her handsome outsider who love and cared so much for her.

She felt comfort as Dodger soon began nuzzling her pussy with his face while licking and nibbling. After a while, he eventually pulled away to give back her space. But both lover dogs felt enormously proud to make sweet, passionate love together. Despite the fact they live in two different cities, they promised they would never separate.

They promised they would love each other forever and ever. Dodger and Dixie stood face to face again and looked into each other's eyes. Then with gentle smiles, they kissed once again and then nuzzled as they absolutely expressed their natural love for each other in this beautiful romantic night.

Dodger and Dixie were laying down on the ground next to the edge of the pond. Dodger was laying over Dixie to keep her warm. He wrapped his front legs around her and put his head down on her shoulder. After spending time embracing each other, they were incredibly happy and blessed.

Dixie *moaned* - "Oh, Dodger... that was so very beautiful."

Dodger - "Yeah, it was wonderful, passionate and beautiful. Just like you are, too."

The two dogs closed their eyes and felt peaceful. There was totally no other life that either one would ever have. This was their happiest life together.

Dixie - "Dodger, this is the kind of life that I want. I know we've just met last night at the Opry, but coming from country dog like me to a street-mutt outsider like you... I simply don't even want to imagine a life without you. I never want to leave you, Dodger."

"And I know you're right about one thing... Cash is gone, but he'll never be forgotten. And there is no other male dog that I would ever want to be with. Dodger, you are not just my mate... you are my everything... my sweet handsome New York street-dog."

Dodger was inspired by Dixie. With a gentle smile, he made a strong response to her.

Dodger - "Dixie, I feel the same way, too. This is the life that I admire the most. This life is so beautiful, special, and peaceful. There is no other life that I would enjoy the most. Dixie, I know that we're from two different cities, but I want to be with you forever. I want our love to be unbroken. You are not just a mate... You are a gift... A lovely gift from God."

Dixie admired her mate's short speech. She closed her eyes and relaxed, enjoying the warmth from him. His rough and wild fur felt so nice and soft to her. She was incredibly happy to have Dodger in her life. She believed he had one of the sweetest hearts.

Dodger licked her head and ears, giving her more comfort. Then he gently nuzzled the back of her neck and placed his head back down. He certainly enjoyed the bond of love that would never separate from his mate. He never wanted to be with another girl, no matter how other girls could be.

Suddenly, a while later, Dixie started to pant. She was feeling hot from inside. But she was not struggling to catch her breath. She was panting because she was going through a cycle that she had already gone through once before, which made her family keep her safe. Dodger noticed Dixie's action, he asked her.

Dodger - "What's wrong, my love?"

And Dixie said, still panting as Dodger moved his ear closer to listen to what her surprise was. Dixie came close to his ear and whispered.

Dixie *Panting* - "Dodger, I have a surprise for you. Come closer... I'm in heat again."

Dodger gasped. His eyes widened.

Dodger - "Dixie, are you serious?"

Dixie - "Fuck Yes, Dodger. I want to mate with you again. I want more, I want to fuck again. Soon... and I mean very soon, I want to have puppies together. Let's do it right now."

Sure enough, Dodger started to smell a strong aroma. The smell was attracting him. It was already getting into him. He stood up and looked down at Dixie, who rolled onto her back with another smile. Dodger asked, trying so hard to control himself so he wouldn't lose himself.

Dodger - "Dixie, are you saying that you're ready to fuck again?"

Dixie - "Oh, fuck yes, Dodger, I want more. And I'm sure you're ready, too. I know you want to fuck me again. I can see it in your eyes right now."

And she was right. Dodger really want to do it. His desire was rising to the point where he simply was sexually excited.

The smell of the aroma was nearly driving him wild. But he kept himself restraint, so he wouldn't go insane. He said excitedly.

Dodger - "Absitively, I want to do it again, Dixie. I really want to. I want to do you so bad... very soon, I want puppies with you. I want to start a family together. Not now, but soon... very soon."

Dixie replied with her seductive voice. She stood up and looked around.

Dixie - "Ohh, Dodger Baby...I don't think this place would make us comfortable. Let's go back to the house so we can have sex again... my bedroom has more privacy."

Dodger agreed with that.

Dodger - "That's what I thought of, Beautiful. Your bedroom is the one place there where we won't be disturbed."

Dixie - "Absolutely, or in your words... Absitively. Oh, Dodger, can you grab that red scarf?"

Dodger - "The red scarf I gave you to remember your late husband-mate?"

Dixie - "Yeah, Darlin.' And I'm keeping it in memory of Cash, and I still want to thank you again for giving me your red scarf. It was still incredibly special of you giving it to me, you're a sweetheart."

Dodger - "Thank you, Beautiful."

Dodger went over to grab of what is now Cash's red scarf (formerly Dodger's red scarf) with his mouth. And together, the two mates headed back to the house on Page Road. The two mates went back inside to The Claybourne House and continue to chat about each other and began having a little dinner that one evening.

After they had dinner together, The Artful Terrier and The Singin' Stray Saluki were continuing to spend more time together. This time on the family couch talking about music, writing new music that comes from the heart, and all other things. Minutes later, Dixie grabs her guitar and performs for Dodger a new tune she personally came up with early this morning while Dodger was asleep in the guest house.

That night, Dixie began singing a special song to him called "Bunk With Me Tonight." She then sings a new song, in a sly attempt to seduce The Artful Terrier into sleeping with her again tonight after another round of sex. When Dodger doesn't get the meaning, she tells him to pay close attention and re-sings the chorus, placing a special emphasis on the lyrics. And asking Dodger to come upstairs and "bunk" with her, he realizes

what she was asking, he wants her to come to bed with her... and she wants him.

Dodger - "Dixie, I want to say that I absitively enjoyed spending the entire Saturday with you. For a country dog, you're just simply the most beautiful bitch I've ever met and courted with for a short time in my whole life."

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger you're so sweet. And for a New York City street-dog, you're as smart as you're handsome."

Dodger - "Hey! Oh, you meant that as a compliment. Thanks, Beautiful."

Dixie - "Oh, you're so welcome, Dodger. Say, Dodger... with all the singin' and romance we had been doing all day today, there's this one short song that I personally wrote this morning, and I would like to share it with you. The reason why is because I wanted to work on something that could heat things up."

Dodger - "Sure, let's hear it."

Dixie began strumming her guitar and play a special passionate song to Dodger.

Dixie - ? In this country home, I get so cold and lonely ? Lyin' there awake at night ? Muttering, "If only you weren't a mate" ? so I might ask you to bunk with me tonight ? bunk with me tonight ? oh, baby bunk with me tonight ? I'm asking will you bunk with me, tonight? ?

Dodger - "Whoa, baby that's hot. There wouldn't me a mutt alive who wouldn't be turned on after that. And if Cash was alive tonight, he would be absitively turned on by that sexy steamy song. So Beautiful, Dix. Well, I'll be in the guest house if you need me for anything. That was a beautiful song, Dixie."

Dixie - "Oh Dodger, wait... There's one hidden message to the song that you may have missed. Really listen."

Dodger - "Okay."

Dixie - ? Bunk with me tonight ?

Dodger - "Uh-huh."

Dixie - ? Bunk with me... tonight ?

Dodger - "Right, right."

Dixie - ? Baby, I'm asking will you bunk with me... tonight. ?

Dodger - "Dixie!"

Dixie - "That's right, Mr. Dodger."

Dodger - "Wow!... Now I know what you mean by me bunking with you tonight... sleeping together again."

Dixie - "Uh-Huh, Dodger Baby."

Dodger - "Well, you still wanna go all the way again before I... bunk with you tonight?"

Dixie - "In your words... Absitively... Posolutely, Darlin."

Dodger - "Let's go upstairs and make it happen, Beautiful."

And as they stare at each other's eyes, the two mates shared another passionate kiss together. As she went into heat again, she once again rubbed her tail under his chin and signals him to come upstairs with her. Both Dodger and Dixie were both full of excitement that they're about to mate again. Later that Saturday night, Dodger and Dixie walked towards her bedroom for some mild sexual action.

Dixie - "Well here we are. You'll have to pardon the clutter."

Dodger - "Nah, this is alright. You have a beautiful bedroom, Dixie."

Dixie - "Oh, well thank you, Dodger Baby. My room a little bit of a mess, but it's nice isn't."

Dodger - "You know, I've never slept in a celebrity's bedroom before, but I think this now the second time we'll be sleeping together."

Dixie - "We did sleep together in the guest house last night which was the first for the both of us and it was wonderful."

Every servant and Dixie's friend, Zelda were sound asleep in the house. Which meant that the two lovers had better chances of not being interrupted in their plan of having sex.

Dodger - "Wow... I remember seeing this poster when I was at The Bluebird Café on my first day in Nashville. And by looking at this poster; you, Cash and your friends were a powerhouse when you were with The Singin' Strays."

Dixie - "Yeah, we were a great team. But with Cash gone; it's still not the same without him. The twins on the poster are Floyd and Waylon and the old lady next to Cash is Granny Rose. They've all stayed out of the spotlight after Cash's death, but I still kept in touch with them every day."

Dodger - "You've got a beautiful home, an amazing family, and great friends to take care each other."

Dixie - "Thank you, Dodger Baby. It really means a lot."

The two dogs proceeded inside with Dodger walking behind Dixie. Then she shut the door behind him and dropped Dodger's red scarf (now Cash's scarf) onto the floor. Dixie came close to Dodger, and she said seductively.

Dixie - "You know, Dodger... I'm feeling so hot right now. I've never met such a big, strong, and handsome male street-dog like you."

She nuzzled under his chin. Then she brought out her tongue and slowly licked him from his cheek to his forehead.

Then she nibbled on his ear playfully. Dodger became so excited that he came down to kiss and nibble her neck and nipples. Dixie giggled seductively and lifted her head up to give him more access. Dodger continued to embrace her.

Dodger - "And I'm feeling so lucky, I've never seen such a hot, beautiful, and sexy country dame like you."

The two lovers kissed for a moment. Then Dixie walked beneath Dodger's head and once again rubbed her tail under his chin. Dodger was once again smelling that lovely aroma from earlier. He simply couldn't hold himself anymore. He wanted sex with her so badly. He said, trying to control himself.

Dodger - "Dixie, I can't wait anymore. I want you now."

Dixie felt the same way. Her heat was beginning to drive her insane as well. It was now making her body hotter.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger... I want you now, too."

She started to make more sexy poses in front of Dodger. She could see his eyes widening. She could tell that he was getting excited. After a moment, she faced away from him and turned her head back, looking at him with lust. Then, with her seductive smile, she raised her tail and presented her wet swollen vulva to Dodger.

Dodger's heart was beating so fast that he thought it would explode inside his chest. He had never felt like this before because he had never been into this situation. And now he was standing right before the girl that he absolutely loved the most.

He was about to make memorable love with his wonderful mate. Dodger took a long look at Dixie's vulva and felt his cock beginning to emerge from his sheath. Dixie noticed it and was very satisfied of how big it really was. She asked seductively.

Dixie - "Hey, street-mutt... do you love what you see?"

Dodger - "Absitively... Posolutely."

Dixie - "Well, come here and let's have some more fun... pleasure me, Dodger Baby."

She said, shaking her ass at him again. Dodger came close to Dixie and lowered his muzzle to her vulva. He sniffed her vulva and became very intrigued of the aroma. The smell was deeply driving him wild. It was so attractive. But he had to control himself, so he wouldn't harm his mate. She started to giggle, then moved next to Dodger tickling his chin with her tail.

He touched his cold nose to Dixie's vulva and began to lick slowly. Dixie moaned softly. This was the first time in her life that she was experiencing this. She always imagined how she would feel being licked by a male. And yet, she felt even happier now that she was being licked by the artful terrier Dodger, her true love. She enjoyed the touch of Dodger warm licks on her vulva.

Dodger continued to lick the vulva of his beloved mate Dixie, cherishing every lick from his tongue. Soon, he went up to start licking her pussy. He heard her moan a little louder. He knew that she was admiring this more. He went on to lick some more. Dixie felt more satisfied with Dodger licking her pussy. She also felt an exceptionally beautiful sensation within herself.

It was a sensation that she had never felt before in her entire life. A sensation of pure love, which she never had by any male before. But this was her true mate showing her that pure love. Now she was all ready for him. So, she held her tail aside to the left and gave him full access.

Dodger saw the permission given to him and stopped licking. His cock slid out more from his sheath. And carefully, Dodger placed one big paw on Dixie's back and stood up on his hind legs to mount her. He wrapped his big paws and forelegs around her waist and lowered himself onto her. He let his cock slide out more and prepared himself for another round of sex in his life with his beautiful mate.

Dodger slowly brought his cock forward toward Dixie's vulva. Closer and closer he went until he felt the tip of his penis touching the opening of her vulva. His heart was beating faster than ever. He took a deep breath to calm his heart. Then with one soft thrust, he inserted his penis into his mate's vulva.

Dixie gasped. She felt a wave of energy course within her. With Dodger's cock now inside her, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the wonderful pleasure. This was her best sex ever. And mating with her true love, her hero, made this even better for her.

It felt good for Dodger as his penis was inside Dixie. After a few seconds, he pulled out and gently thrusted back in. He repeated the same process for some time. He felt great pleasure as he continued to mate his lover. He then kissed and licked Dixie's ears while thrusting gently.

Dixie moaned softly. This was turning her on even more. So, with a lustful moan, she spread her hind legs wider, making Dodger more

comfortable while he continued thrusting.

After a short while, Dodger began to thrust a little faster. He got more power for his cock since Dixie had her hind legs opened wider. He also felt the tightness inside of her. Dixie's moaning and panting grew louder. She leaned her head back to feel more pleasure, her nose pointed upward. She wanted so much more from her handsome lover.

Dixie *moaning and panting* - "Please, my love... Please go harder. Fuck me harder!"

Dodger listened to her and granted her request. He started thrusting faster and harder. But he still wanted to be just a little gentle with her, so he wouldn't cause her pain. He continued to mate his bitch, thrusting fast and hard in the process. Soon, he was able to slide his cock into her vulva. Then his bulb became exposed from his sheath.

Dodger was mating with Dixie with all his power. He felt the power of love course within himself just like Dixie was within herself as well.

Later, Dodger got to the point where he was thrusting at his fastest and hardest. His bulb was just outside of Dixie's vulva. Dixie's moaned much louder. The two lovers were enjoying the sensation of love with each other. They were feeling that same energy together. It felt so great to them.

They wanted it to last forever. They were totally wild. Dodger shut his eyes tightly and bared his sharp teeth while he thrusted vigorously.

Dixie lifted her head up again and repeatedly moaned very loudly. The two dogs passionately mated with pure pleasure. After a while, Dodger began to slow down his thrusting. Dixie knew what he was about to do next and prepared herself.

Dodger - "You ready, Baby?"

Dixie - "Absitively, Dodger... Absitively! Fucking give it to me!"

Then with one powerful thrust, Dodger forced his bulb into Dixie. They were now locked together as a symbol of pure love for each other.

Dixie shot a happy yelp while Dodger stayed mounted on her. He resumed thrusting gently with his bulb buried inside her. He and Dixie were very soon producing puppies together. Dixie had the excitement of having their unborn puppies inside her.

Dodger slowly and gently thrusted repeatedly. And then, with an energy of relief, he finally ejaculated, filling Dixie's womb with his warm essence. With his essence released inside Dixie and his cock still stuck inside her, Dodger carefully dismounted and turned to stand back-to-back with her.

They both panted, struggling to catch their breath. But at the same time, they felt so blessed by the energy of love between them. Dixie panted; she could hardly speak.

Dixie - "Dodger... that... that was... fucking amazing."

Dodger - "Yeah, this is amazing... and you are amazing."

Dixie - "Ooh... Good Doggie."

He was deeply enthralled with the process that he and Dixie made.

The two lovers remained tied together for a while, but they loved being tied together. And they loved having their asses pressed tightly together. Once again, they sensed the lovely sensation connected to each other. They remained stuck together until Dodger felt his bulb shrinking.

After a while, his bulb had deflated, and Dodger was able to carefully eject himself from Dixie. Dixie yelped as Dodger made one final yank to pull out his penis. Dixie turned around to see the Artful Terrier bringing his hard cock back into his sheath.

She smiled and nuzzled him. Dodger smiled as well and nuzzled back. Dixie said, licking Dodger's cheek.

Dixie - "I got to tell you, this has been an amazing and incredible night we've ever had together. Way better and wilder than last night. Thank you so much for everything, Dodger."

And Dodger replied, rubbing noses with her.

Dodger - "It was a wild fucking... and it was my pleasure, Dixie. I promise I will never forget last night and this Saturday together. I love you, Dixie."

Dixie - "I love you too, Dodger... I wish this night would never end."

The two dogs shared a passionate kiss with each other.

Dodger - "I guess I should be going in into the guest house and go to bed, it's late."

Dixie - "No, No. Dodger, stay... bunk with me tonight... because I wouldn't feel good if I let you go back to the guest house and me sleeping in my room all by myself... I don't want to wake up alone tomorrow... please?"

Dodger - "Now, why would I say no to a beautiful country crooning Saluki like you... It'll be happy for me to share a bed with someone who has the same feelings as I do."

Dixie - "And it'll make me happier if you stay with me until my mistress and master come home late tomorrow. I simply wish for one more day with you. Will you say with me for just one more day?"

Dodger - "Hey. Absitively, Baby."

Dixie - "This was one of the happiest nights of my life, my love. Thank you so much for being my mate. I especially will never forget this night with you."

Dodger - "And thank you, beautiful for making this night special for the both of us. Thank you for giving me a much better life with you. I promise I will never forget this. Good night, Dixie... My sexy Singin' Stray Saluki."

And Dixie responded with a love filled voice.

Dixie - "Good Night, Dodger... My Manhattan street-mutt stud."

Dodger - "Good Night, Dixie... My Singin' Stray songbird. I love you."

Dixie - "And I love you, too."

Dodger and Dixie shared another kiss, the two mates went to bed together. He reached down and kissed Dixie smoothly. Dixie happily returned the kiss. And as they sleep together for the second consecutive night in a row, the two mated dogs nuzzled for one last time before they went to sleep as both dogs thinking about the future that laid before their eyes.

The Next Morning...

It was a beautiful Sunday Morning, and Dodger was fully refreshed and enthusiastic of another promising new day in Nashville. The Artful Terrier took a dip and pedaling a few laps into the family's swimming pool. Dodger shaking and drying off the wet water from his fur when he sees Dixie watching him sexually.

Dixie - "Now there's a new vision... Good Morning, stranger."

Dodger - "Mornin,' Beautiful. How was your night?"

Dixie - "Mine was wonderful, with you by my side."

Dodger - "Did you eat any breakfast today?"

Dixie - "Yeah, and what about you; did you eat, Darlin'."

Dodger - "Yeah, I've already had a good breakfast, too. Your servants sure know how to cook some great foods. Truth is I've never tasted southern breakfast dishes like this before. It's very tasty."

Dixie - "Well, we have the best gourmet dishes ever made in Middle Tennessee and in The Mid-South."

Dodger - "So, what you want to do today? Take a walk in the park or we can spend a little more time here."

Dixie - "Well, I wish I would go out for a little walk in the park, but I'm in seclusion remember."

Dodger - "Oh, yeah that's right. I forgot. Well, we can still enjoy another beautiful day here."

Dixie - "That's exactly what I had in mind. Maybe we can take a morning stroll to the forest, watch the Nashville skyline from a hillside view, and make sweet love all over again."

Dodger - "My kind of mate. I love it."

Dixie - "Okay, great. In the meantime, continue to make yourself at home while I go freshen up, and I'll be ready."

Dodger - "Okay, Beautiful."

While Dodger was walking around The Claybourne House and sees pictures of Cash, Dixie, and The Singin' Strays over the years as well as Rayna, her husband Deacon, and their two children Madison and Daphne. He also sees pictures of Dixie's mistress, Rayna with country music legends from Dolly Parton to Loretta Lynn and with Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Dodger also looked at the trophy cabinet cases; awards won by Rayna, Deacon and The Singin' Strays; BMI's, Billboard's, ACMs, CMAs, GRAMMYs, etc. The Singin' Strays never won the ACM and CMA Awards, but they had won 3 BMI Awards and 2 CMT Music Awards. Dodger really sees a future for Dixie. Dodger would love to see Dixie make a comeback in her career with new material and a new chapter in her music.

Dixie - "That's me, Cash, Granny Rose, Floyd and Waylon at the CMA Awards in '07, '08 and '09. We were nominated three times for the CMAs best country group and single of the year, but lost to Rascal Flatts in '07, Sugarland in '08 and Lady Antebellum a year ago in '09."

"Cash and I wanted to win that CMA Award so bad... I'm sorry, it's been hard for me. A lot of things fell apart in my life since I lost him last month. Life after my Cashie died had me feeling fucked up."

Dodger - "Dixie... I can understand what you're going through. I know you're still hurt inside that your husband-mate is gone, but what happened last month was not your fault. And feeling fucked up doesn't mean a goddamn thing. Anger, depression, and loneliness isn't going to bring Cash back. I think if he was here today, he would see you write your own songs and produce you own music."

Dixie - "I don't know if I can, Dodger... I'm scared of what the outcome would be if I went out on my own as a solo performer. I'm afraid my music might flop in the country charts, and I'll never perform again."

Dodger - "No, No, Dixie... Don't ever say things negative about your career. You got to keep a good open mind, stay positive, have some heart.

And as I said it before, you keep doing what you do best and working it, and soon you'll be the biggest country singer in the world, if you believe in yourself."

"Just take as much time as you can to think about it. Think of your late mate; Cash who's looking down on you, and think of your friends who want to see you return... Think of Floyd, Waylon, and Granny Rose... They want you to carry the torch for them and carry the legacy, but with a whole new image and a new look in country music."

Dixie - "Dodger... I've never had an outsider like you who believes in me and having a lot of confidence in me making a comeback, but as a solo artist... can you come upstairs with me? I have something I want to give you."

Dodger - "Ooh, okay."

Dodger and Dixie went upstairs and walked into Rayna and Deacon's master bedroom, and they were getting close to the window overlooking the Page Road neighborhood. Dixie then pulled Dodger into a passionate kiss and Dodger gladly returned the kiss with just as much passion.

When Dixie brushed her tongue against his teeth, he gladly allowed her access to his mouth and she to him. Dixie then suddenly pushed Dodger onto his back, he landed on the bed with a soft "oof."

Dixie - "Dodger, my handsome street-mutt. You've been so good to me these last two days; I have a present for you."

Dodger - "Can you give me hints on what it is?"

Dixie *giggled* - "Okay... you see this present, and this present is standing in front of you and loves you with all her heart and soul."

When Dixie was finished speaking Dodger was in shock. Dixie was his present.

Dodger - "I love you too, Dixie my beautiful, sweet angel. I love you so much that it hurts; and every day that love grows stronger. It will never stop growing until I draw my last breath and kiss your lips for the last time."

When Dodger finished speaking Dixie had tears in her eyes and replied.

Dixie - "Dodger my amazing, sweet, handsome lover. I-I don't know how to respond except by saying that I love you, too. I love you so much. It doesn't matter if we're from two different cities, it doesn't matter we're in Nashville or New York... please... don't ever forget my name... don't ever forget my face... don't ever leave me all alone. Think of me every day and night when you're out and about in New York City."

Dodger looked into her beautiful brown-hazel eyes and said with more love than anyone thought was possible to put into a voice.

Dodger - "Dixie, of all the bitches I walked up on in New York and here in Nashville... I could be surrounded by every dog in heat, But I would not pick any of them, especially my ex. I would only fall in love for you. I have fallen for you; Dixie and I can't get up."

"There is no force on heaven and earth combined that could take you away from me. I Absitively promise you, I'll never leave you. And think of me while performing on stage to your loyal fans across the country. Because when you start singing in front of packed audience... you'll always think of me."

Dixie - "I will... Dodger, I have another surprise for you. Close your eyes."

Dodger listened and when he heard Dixie say.

Dixie - "You can open your eyes now."

He got the mother of all Boners. Dixie had her ass in the air and had her tail curled up, so he could clearly see her glistening pussy and her puckered asshole and was looking back at him and had her chest on the ground. Dixie then asked with a super sexy voice.

Dixie - "Hey, street-mutt... You like?"

Dodger could only nod as his cock threatened to explode. When Dixie looked in between his legs, and she blushed heavily.

Dodger - "Oh, My God! You're fuckin' beautiful."

His cock was nearly a foot and a half long and nearly ten inches thick.

Dixie - "Dodger, I'm in heat again. It's driving me crazy and if I am not mated and fucked soon, and I feel like I am going to melt into a puddle."

Dodger then walked forward and gave her slit a long slow lick from the base to the tip and gasped.

Dixie - "Ohh, Good Doggie. Keep going, don't stop."

Dodger then pushed his tongue into her slit and started swirling his tongue in her delicious pussy. Dixie was lost for words as his tongue worked on her dripping cave.

Dixie - "Dodger, S-stop. Stop!"

Dodger immediately stopped and asked, and he asked with worry in his voice.

Dodger - "What's wrong my love, I'm not hurting you, am I?"

Dixie - "No, Darlin.' I want you to lay on your back for me, Baby."

Dodger was confused but did as he was asked and before he knew what was going on Dixie was above him running her tongue up and down his magnificent cock.

Dodger - "H-Hold on Dixie... bring that sexy ass of yours over here. I want a meal of it as well."

Dixie gave him her signature smile before she put her ass just above his nose and decided to play a little joke on him.

She started slowly shaking and twerking her ass from side to side and Dodger followed it with interest before she suddenly quickly threw it to the right and Dodger smacked his head against the pillows. Dodger gave Dixie a look that playfully said.

Dodger - "I am going to get you back."

Dixie smiled before she suddenly deep-throated him in one swift motion. Dodger let out a long groan of pleasure before he pulled her ass down and pushed his tongue deep into her pussy and started scooping out the delicious honey that came out of it.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger, you've got a golden tongue."

Dodger - "You... your lips... your nipples... your pussy... and your anus all taste so good."

He then went back to eating her out and when he brushed his tongue against a sensitive spot in her she gasped in pleasure and started blowing him as fast as she could Dodger noticed her reaction. And did it again and then focus on that spot. After twenty minutes Dodger and Dixie said this to each other.

Dodger - "Dixie Baby, I'm not gonna last much longer."

Dixie - "Neither am I."

Dodger then started sucking on her clit, earning him loud moans of pleasure. Dixie then let out the sexiest howl he ever heard as she came all over his face and muzzle. When her orgasm ended his started. He let out a low growl as his load shot up and hit her face and she quickly opened her mouth and caught the rest in her mouth. When his orgasm was over, he panted out.

Dodger - "Dixie... you taste...so fucking good."

Dixie *blushed* - "Well, Dodger... you taste delicious...a little bit salty but I don't mind. I love it."

Dodger - "I never knew you were so talented with your tongue."

Dixie *giggled* - "I could say the same for you."

Dodger - "Your beige fur is so soft and warm, it's like a mix of a cloud and a roaring fire, and it smells like flowers and freshly baked bread."

Dixie then buried her nose into his fur and took a deep breath.

Dixie - "And you smell like a sexy street-mutt."

Dodger pulled her into a kiss and wrapped his paws around her slim waist. Dixie moaned at his touch. When they pulled out of the kiss ten minutes later Dixie got off Dodger and turned around.

Dixie - "Take me, you street-mutt. Make me yours."

Dodger rolled onto his feet, mounted her, and asked.

Dodger - "Are you ready my love?"

Dixie - "Please, Dodger. Take me, my heat is driving me fucking crazy."

Dodger then slowly pushed into her and when he hit a resistance and Dixie looked at him.

Dodger - "Last chance, Dixie."

Dixie - "Do me, you fucking stud. Fucking do me!"

Dodger then thrusted past her barrier. Dixie yelped in pain and started whimpering softly in pain. Dodger quickly dismounted her and saw that she was bleeding.

Dodger - "Dixie are you okay?! I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me. If you want to stop and try again later, I will understand."

Dixie - "No Dodger, I am okay. Just get back on me and bury that magnificent meat of yours deep inside me and don't stop until you are all the way in me."

Dodger heard the seriousness in her voice and listened and slowly pushed his cock into her tight cavern when he was three quarters of the way in, he came to another resistance.

Dixie - "There is another resistance. Keep going."

Dodger listened and pushed past it and looked at Dixie.

Dodger - "Did that hurt?"

Dixie - "A little, just keep going. I want to feel that magnificent cock of yours stretching me."

Dodger - "I am in as far as I can go my beautiful stray angel."

Dixie - "Go slow please. It hurts a little."

Dodger nodded and slowly started thrusting in her, soon her groans of pain turned into moans of pleasure.

Dixie - "Fuck me faster...harder... deeper... please!"

Dodger slowly let his instincts take over as his speed and strength increased and Dixie's tongue was hanging out of her mouth with one of her eyes closed making her 'fucked stupid' look, complete.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger you're so big. I can feel your massive cock stretching me and I absitively love the feeling!"

Dodger - "And you, your pussy and anus are so warm, tight and wet. Your body is so flexed, and pussy tasted more like sweet honey-butter... And I LOVE IT!"

After forty-five minutes of ruthlessly fucking Dixie...

Dodger - "Dixie, I'm not going to last much longer. In or out, my love?"

Dixie - "IN! I want to feel your cum deep inside of me!"

Dodger then slammed his knot into her pussy with one hit and Dixie just lost it and came so hard that her juices sprayed out around his knot and her pussy clamed onto him so tight that he thought it would snap his dick off. When her orgasm was over. His started and his cum few out of him like a rocket and coated her walls and triggered another orgasm.

As they came down from their orgasms Dodger dismounted her and laid down and pulled Dixie on top of him and she started covering his face in kisses. Dodger then pulled her into a kiss, and she threw her tongue into his mouth and started wrestling her tongue with his. When they pulled out of the kiss ten minutes later, Dodger looked into her beautiful brown-hazel eyes.

Dodger - "That was so erotic and amazing, beautiful."

Dixie *giggled* - "That it most definitely was amazing my love. I love the feeling of your cum inside me, Darlin.' It's so warm."

Dodger - "I love how sexy and tight you are. You are so warm and soft, but tight and wet. I love it. I love you, Dixie."

Dixie - "I love you too, Dodger. My city slicking street-stud."

Dodger then kissed her and pulled out of her, earning him one final moan of pleasure from Dixie. When Dodger pulled out of her all his cum started leaking out of her, but she tightened her muscles to keep in as much as possible she then started cleaning her opening right in front of Dodger, who then he saw this he quickly got another boner. Dixie noticed this and then stopped what she was doing and walked over to Dodger while swinging her hips from side to side.

Dodger - "I see that you are ready for another round, Beautiful."

She then turned around and raised her tail.

Dixie - "I was born ready for another round, stud. The first anal sex you gave me yesterday, Dodger... it was amazing and wild. Do it to me again, you sexy street-mutt. Fuck me anal style again, Dodger Baby."

Dodger excitedly quickly mounted her and slowly pushed into her anus and when he was all the way in Dixie said in a sexy voice.

Dixie - "Be a good doggie and fuck me in my asshole, Dodger... fuck me as hard as you can."

Dodger - "You absitively love anal sex. So, do I."

Dixie - "You better fucking believe it, Darlin'."

He quickly nodded and started slamming into her as hard as he could. After an hour of fucking her, the Artful Terrier knotted her anus and made her came and so did she. When they came down from their orgasms, Dodger pulled out of her with a loud 'pop' sound, and they laid down beside each other on Rayna and Deacon's bed and fell asleep.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger... This has been the best weekend I've ever had with you in my life. I've never falling in love with a street-dog outsider before... and it's a first for me."

Dodger - "Mine too, Dixie... and I want to share my whole love life with you if that's okay."

Dixie - "You want to share your love life with me? I have one answer for that... Absitively... Posolutely."

Dodger - "Oh, Dixie... I'm already loving Nashville... I absitively love it here."

Dixie - "I love it here, too."

Dixie shared another passionate kiss with Dodger as they rested their bodies after a wild and erotic Sunday midday sex. After the sex was over, the two mates were lying in Rayna and Deacon's bed for a little nap together.

Later that same day...

As the afternoon turned to evening, Dodger and Dixie were taking a quiet nap together in Rayna and Deacon's master bedroom when they were woken up with sound of a car pulling into the driveway. She raced to the window and saw that her mistress, Rayna, her husband, Deacon, and their daughters return home early from their weekend trip to Louisville as they arrived at exactly around the five o'clock hour.

Dixie - "Oh, My God... you gotta to be kidding me... she's home early... Rayna and the family wasn't supposed to be home 'til late tonight."

Dodger - "Dixie, what's wrong? Who's that pulling up the driveway?"

Dixie - "It's my mistress and master; Rayna and Deacon, and their kids. They've just now coming back early from their weekend outing in Louisville. Dodger come on. Let's go; I've got to get you the hell out of here. If my mistress sees an outsider here in this house, she's going to be fucking pissed."

Dodger - "Well, just how pissed she'll be if she finds me here?"

Dixie - "Oh, believe me, Dodger. You don't want to fucking know. Now come on!"

Dodger - "Alright, Love."

And when the Terrier and Saluki saw Rayna, Deacon and the kids coming inside the house, Dixie knows she had to get Dodger out of the house before her mistress and master get suspicious. By the time, the Singin' Stray Saluki snuck the Artful Terrier out the backway and walked towards the front of the house, it was time for Dodger and Dixie to say their goodbyes.

Even though their weekend courtship was over, they're hoping they would see each other again soon.

Dixie - "Oh, Dodger... I wish I'd let you stay for a little while. I don't want this courtship to end."

Dodger - "I know, Dixie. I really wanted to stay so I could spend one more hour with you, but right now... I have a feeling my cousin JD is probably worried sick about me right now. And he's wondering why the hell I didn't come home in the last two or three days."

Dixie - "Well, you better go to him, Darlin'."

Dodger - "I will, Beautiful."

Dixie - "Anyway... I've had an amazing, wild, and incredible time with you this weekend... I've had a wonderful time getting to know you as well as you getting to know me."

Dodger - "So did I, Dixie... so did I. This weekend we've spent together was a life-changing courtship for the both of us. I hope we do this again sometime soon."

Dixie - "Me too, street-mutt... me too... matter of fact, I'm having way too much fun spending time and getting to know you at the same time."

Dodger - "What's wrong with that, is good isn't?"

Dixie - "Maybe for you; Dodger, but not for me. You see, before I met Cash and joined The Strays, I've had a bad track record with male dogs. I find male mutts that want to change me, hurt me, use me... but never just love me. But what the hell, records are made to be broken, right?"

Dodger - "Well... I'm not one of those mutts. I won't change you, I won't use you, and I absitively sure as hell won't hurt you. All I can do for you is love you... you and only you."

Dixie - "Ohh, Thank you so much, Dodger. Thank you for loving me... Hey, Dodger... I still wanted to say thank you one more time for giving me your red scarf. As I said it before; I'll be keeping it for life in memory of Cash. I'm going to be doing a lot of thinking on where I go from here on my music career."

Dodger - "Dixie, I don't want you to rush things too fast. Just take all the time you can. And when you decide to go back performing again; be the Dixie West the fans want you to be. They'll always love you as a Singin' Stray, but they're going to love you a whole lot more by being the best in the country music world."

Dixie - "I'll be thinking really hard on this, Dodger... Thanks. In the meantime, you going to be okay heading home?"

Dodger - "Yeah, my cousin's house is not that far from here, it's about twenty minutes away."

Dixie - "Well, please be careful on the way home... Dodger, may I ask how long you are going to be here in Nashville?"

Dodger - "Well, I'm here for one more week, then I'm going back home to New York next Sunday. Why?"

Dixie - "Because, Dodger, I'm going to Memphis with my mistress tomorrow... so, in case if I don't see you again this week... I absitively hope and pray I'll be seeing you again soon."

Dodger - "Dixie... you can absitively count on that. Because you have the voice of an angel, with a sexy body, and the looks to match. You're Dixie Virginia West. The ORIGINAL Singin' Stray."

Dixie - "You're one hell of a good doggie, I'll forever and always be in your mind and in your heart. Take care of yourself and so long, Dodger. Please... keep me in your dreams tonight... and please be safe when you get back to New York City next week."

Dodger - "I will, Dixie. Bye for now, Beautiful. You take care of yourself, and until we meet again... Later, Baby."

And Dodger and Dixie shared one more passionate kiss before leaving Page Road and heading back to his cousin's house on Chickering Road.

This was the first time in his life that Dodger had fall in love with a celebrity, but he has the absolute best of intentions that The Artful Terrier

and The Divine Miss D will meet again and more determine to mate repeatedly.

Dixie now beginning to have personal and sexual feelings about the Jack Russell Terrier from New York. Hopefully, she believes it won't be the last time she would see Dodger and mate with him again... because his name and face will forever be in her mind and in her life.

Dodger also have personal and sexual feelings about the country crooning Saluki from Texas. Although, the one thing Dodger learns about Dixie, is because she's different than his ex-mate, Rita. She's quick-tempered, but smart, kind, humorous, ditzy... but what he sees in her is that she's loving, tender, sexy, pretty, and beautiful with a voice full of harmony.

Later that evening, Dixie was in her bedroom alone and still had some thoughts about quitting her music career and retire quietly, until she started staring at the red scarf Dixie was given to her from Dodger. It's hard to believe with Dodger's red scarf has given her a chance to think long and hard on where her music career is going.

For the past few days, Dixie had been doing some serious thinking, soul searching, and she decided to find the most important things in her life. She'll have to start by reinventing herself in her country music career, finding her real true calling as a performer, and more importantly... finding true love again (hopefully be with Dodger again).

So, she finally decided to crawl herself out of that dark hole of hell, erasing some but not all her memories of Cash, but continue to carry the legacy of The Singin' Strays, and personally start trying to focus on her solo career. For the past couple of weeks, she went to work by writing new songs on her own. Songs and lyrics that came from her heart, with new material and new music to reinvent herself.

Later That Mid Spring - Early Summer...

Dixie made an incredible comeback in her career, but this time as a solo artist with the start of her debut of her first solo album from Highway 65 Records entitled "Dixie: The Divine Miss D." "Dixie: The Divine Miss D" was her first studio album by Dixie and her first with many of the songs written only by her.

Her debut album was released on April 10th, 2010, and in less than a year later, it went on to become her biggest-selling debut recording at the time of its release, selling over 22.5 million copies (USA) and nearly twenty-five million copies worldwide by the end of the year, and was eventually certified 10x (Diamond) Platinum in both the country and contemporary pop charts, and it was awarded to her by the Recording Industry Association of America certification (RIAA).

One month later, Dixie's music videos from her debut album was aired on CMT, GAC and on YouTube with her videos receiving more than over ten million views worldwide online, including her biggest debut hit "Any Man of Mine" which was viewed a record-setting 33.5 million views in one day.

Another hit single from her debut album was dedicated and in memory of Cash. Dixie along with Waylon, Floyd and Granny Rose sung a newly revived version of "We're in Harmony" but with new lyrics and it was a tribute to leader and lead singer of The Singin' Strays. That tribute song was viewed on YouTube and received over twelve million views in less than one week.

Both songs "Any Man of Mine" and "We're in Harmony: A Tribute to Cash" became Dixie's first number one hit singles on country radio, as well her first number one crossover hit after it cracked the top 40 on the pop charts. It was released to radio on April 17th, 2010 and topped both the country and pop charts for a record-setting 18 ½ weeks from Late April through Mid-August.

With the release of her debut album, "Dixie: The Divine Miss D," Dixie has become the first and only female dog to become one of the fastest growing female country artists in history. No other country female artists have stayed in the Top 10 Billboard Country and Pop charts and/or remained at Number 1 on the Country Album charts longer than Dixie, and she's the only female dog to do so.

Four Months Later...

On the morning of August 31st, Dixie, along with her family and friends had the shock of her life and theirs when they were watching the nominations for the 44th Annual CMA Awards. The Country Music Association Award is the most prestigious award in country music history.

Country singers Miranda Lambert and Brad Paisley announced the nominees on ABC's Good Morning America and the televised nominations is simulcast on CMT.

Everyone including Dixie was so nervous on how the outcome will be if he's nominated or not. The country crooning Saluki worked hard to get where she is today. It was a long hard road for The Divine Miss D to climb the top of the mountain.

The CMA Award Nominations were announced that morning during GMA, and it was the news that original Singin' Stray would be surprised and excited to hear. Dixie had made CMA history that morning when she was nominated for a record-setting 10 CMA Award nominations for her debut album "Dixie: The Divine Miss D" including:

• CMA Entertainer of the Year

• CMA Album of The Year

• CMA New Artist of The Year (CMA Horizon Award)

• CMA Female Vocalist of The Year

• CMA Single of The Year (x2)

• CMA Song of The Year

• CMA Music Video of The Year (x2)

• And CMA Musical Event of The Year

Dixie broke the record for the most CMA nominations ever received by a female artist in a single year and becoming the first and only female canine to be nominated by the Country Music Association. After watching the announcement of the CMA nominations, she broke down crying, and was overcome with excitement and tears of joy and emotion that she would overcome all the odds that her debut would be a record-setting break-out hit.

She received licks, hugs, and kisses from her parents; Buster and Dalva, her two siblings; Daisy and Raffles, and her friends and longtime members of the Singin' Strays; Waylon, Floyd and Granny Rose congratulating her on her record-setting 10 CMA nominations.

Dixie's mistress and master; Rayna and Deacon (who served as co-executive producers in Dixie's debut album) as well as Bucky Dawes (Producer) and Jeff Fordham (Manager/Producer) popped open bottles of champagne to celebrate with Dixie, friends, and family on her 10 CMA nominations.

Moments later, after Dixie was overcome with excitement and emotions that she's nominated, she was outside the Claybourne backyard contemplating over the fact that she had made history of becoming the only female dog to nominated for the most CMAs. Dixie later raced a half of mile to watch the hillside view the Nashville skyline.

With the sun shining around the blue clear sky in Music City, Dixie took the red scarf out of her collar that Dodger gave to her and stares at it for couple of minutes thinking of the Artful Terrier; Dodger and her late country crooning bloodhound; Cash.

It was Dodger's prediction that lead to Dixie's comeback. And she did make a complete turnaround on her life and career all thanks to Artful Terrier. Then, she feels the slow breeze of wind on her face knowing that Cash was looking down with pride. And she thanks them for believing in herself and for turning her life and career around.

Dixie - "Cashie... if you can hear me... I want you to know that you'll never be forgotten... And Dodger, I know you're back in New York City, but if you can hear my echoes here in Nashville... Thank you for believing in me... Thank you for digging me out of that dark hole of hell... Cashie, I miss you and I love you... and Dodger, thank you so much for helping me, I love you... I love you both."

Moments later that morning... Raffles, Daisy, Waylon, Floyd, Granny Rose, and Dixie's personal assistant; Zelda joined her to keep her company and watch the hillside view of the Nashville Skyline thinking about their late leader of the Singin' Strays and focusing on the future of what lies ahead for The Divine Miss D. She was overcome with love, support and enthusiastic congrats to her friend and sibling for her 10 CMA nominations.

Zelda - "Your friends and I thought we find you here. You sitting here enjoying the view of Downtown Nashville?"

Dixie - "Yeah...I'm out there, Zelda. My music career going sky high. I'm on top of the world and I'm loving every minute of it. And it's only the beginning."

After the death of her Bloodhound mate, Cash in January, she went through hell and back, and now found herself as a singer and a lover when she met Dodger in February, she went from tragedy to triumph. And because of the lucky red scarf, Dixie's newfound solo career is riding high.

A Month and a Half Later...

On the morning of October, the 12th, After Dixie was nominated for 10 CMA Awards, the country crooning saluki was added more nominations to her award portfolio. The nominations were out for the 38th American Music Awards coming in November, and Dixie was once again overcome with excitement, happiness, and emotions once again because she nominated with 7 American Music Awards for her debut album including:

• Artist of The Year

• Breakthrough Artist of The Year

• Favorite Country Female Artist

• Favorite Country Album

• Favorite Country Song

• Music Video of The Year

• And Songwriter of The Year

She was so excited that she got nominated for the AMAs, she believes that with new solo career and with her CMA and AMA nominations, this is the start of a whole new era in country music and in her career as the original Singin' Stray to be a successful singer/songwriter.

Almost a Month Later...

On Wednesday, November 10th, Dixie, her family, and friends arrive at the Red Carpet as country music's biggest night gets underway at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville for the 44th Annual CMA Awards hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. Dixie was greeted by screaming and cheering fans of The Divine Miss D and who were longtime listeners of The Singin' Strays.

While on the Red Carpet, Dixie signed autographs and posed for pictures with her fans (She doesn't do selfies) and so many fans gave her red roses and wished her luck. While walking the red carpet, Dixie did some pre-show interviews and continue to pose for pictures with her loyal fans while walking the Red Carpet.

Also attending the CMA Awards; Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose along with their masters Luke Wheeler, his mother; Widow Tweed and her husband; Amos Slade with Tod, Copper and Chief walking the Red Carpet. Rayna Wyatt-Claybourne, her husband; Deacon and her two children; Maddie and Daphne also attending the award show to root for their favorite Singin' Stray.

The 44th CMA Awards started off with a bang with an opening performance from The Zac Brown Band. Brad, Carrie, and Vince Gill (Host Emeritus) started the show with an opening monologue along with a few jokes and acknowledgements to artists.

Keith Urban was the first performance, then George Strait, Martina McBride and so many country artists performing and presenting the awards. While Martina was performing, Dixie was in her dressing room ready to perform her mega hit "Any Man of Mine" meditating and stayed focus. Moments later, Granny Rose walked in her dressing room seeing about her friend.

Granny Rose - "Hey, Dix."

Dixie - "Hey, Granny Rose. What are you doing in here?"

Granny Rose - "Seeing about you."

Dixie - "Thanks, but I'm a real trooper. I'm going to be fine."

Granny Rose - "Say, isn't that Cash's red scarf?"

Dixie - "Goddamn Straight, it is... Cashie's original red scarf. I'm going to wear it in memory of Cash tonight."

Granny Rose - "Well, how did you managed to get it from-"

Dixie - "Granny Rose, Please... It's a long story. I can't go into details on how I got it, but I promise I'll tell you all about it in due time."

The two dogs paused for a few moments to contemplate and keep their heads clear and try to stay focus on the show because she's next to perform. Granny Rose came up with an idea on how to pay tribute to Cash.

Granny Rose - "Dixie, I know that you're nervous of performing tonight... but you can't do this alone. Now, you know where my loyalty lies. I got your back, Dixie. I'll forever and always have, and I'll always will, but I want you to know that you can't do this alone."

"You see... I have an idea. And my idea is to have you, me, Waylon, and Floyd sing one more song together in memory of our leader. Is what the four of us would wanted tonight... is what Cash would have wanted if he was alive. What do you think of it?"

Dixie - "Well... there's only one way to find out. Come on, let's go ask them. Where are the guys?"

Granny Rose - "There backstage talking to Brooks & Dunn. Let's go."

After Floyd and Waylon were finished having a chat with Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn backstage, Dixie and Granny Rose asked the twin bloodhounds to join them on stage for one last performance.

Waylon - "Granny Rose, you asking us to go on stage with Dixie, are you fucking kidding us? We haven't performed together since Cash's

unexpected death ten months ago. It's going to be difficult going on stage together and sing without our leader."

Floyd - He's right, ladies. It's just doesn't feel right going on stage singing without him on the biggest night in country music. Besides, things are different now. It just the same without Cash."

Granny Rose - "Guys, I know it's hard for the four of us to move on without our leader, but for once... I want the three of us to hear Dixie out. And because it's my idea, its going the one performance we along with the country stars and the fans will never forget."

Dixie - "Now, guys... I can understand that things are different, but we've all mourned and grieved Cash throughout almost the entire year. Now, sometimes we all must put our grievances behind them, turn the page, and start writing a new chapter. And that's exactly what you three needed to do."

"I know I did. I got the fuck out of that dark hole of hell and never looked back. Right now, we got something bigger in front of us. And I know he's looking down on all of us knowing that he wants the four of us to go out there and perform our hearts out tonight."

"Now, all I'm asking, first and foremost we've been friends for an exceptionally long time... and I'm hoping our friendship will lasts forever... I'm saying maybe is just for this one special night... on country music's biggest night... but maybe, just maybe... the four of us come back together, and we do what we do better than anybody else... we sing in harmony... Singin' Strays style... the way we used to. One more time... for Cashie."

Waylon - "Well, I know he's looking down on the four of us with great pride, and he would be really happy and enormously proud of all of us if we go out there on-stage tonight... let's do it for Cashie."

Granny Rose - "He's watching us from heaven, and he wants us to succeed. Let's make it happen."

Dixie - "What do you think, Floyd, you in?"

Floyd - "In memory and in tribute to our leader... Goddamn right, we're in!"

Granny Rose - "As Matthew McConaughey always say... Alright, Alright, Alright!"

Producer - "Dixie... you're on in ten minutes."

Dixie - "Okay, Thanks!"

Granny Rose - "Hey, Dixie... I know this doesn't... change anything... but I just wanted to be the first to tell you that Waylon, Floyd, and I are so proud of you... I'm so happy for you... thank you carrying on Cash's legacy and thank you for looking out for us."

Dixie - "Next to Waylon and Floyd, you're my oldest friend, Rose. We're due a few mistakes."

Granny Rose - "You better knock 'em dead, Dix. And you better win that award tonight, too."

Dixie *Sigh* - "Let's do it... This one's for you, Cashie."

By the time she went on stage to perform her song, she received a standing ovation from so many country stars and loyal fans at Bridgestone Arena. Dixie sang her biggest hit "Any Man of Mine" from her debut album and she have rocked the stage by working the stage, dancing, strutting, and singing it like there's no tomorrow.

Her updated version brought tears into their eyes into the hearts of so many country stars and fans as Dixie, Waylon, Floyd, and Granny Rose paid tribute to their leader and lead singer, Cash. Country stars and fans gave The Singin' Strays including Dixie another standing-o for a special tribute to crooning Bloodhound.

Music stars, the fans as well as longtime fans of The Singin' Strays gave Dixie a standing ovation because it was well deserved and she dedicated her performance in memory and in tribute to her late mate, Cash.

She dedicated her CMA, American Music Awards, and her debut album to the members of The Singin' Strays (Floyd, Waylon, and Granny Rose) and in the memory of her late husband-mate, Cash. And it was all thanks to Dodger's original red scarf that was given to Dixie in memory of Cash at The Opry.

And in her acceptance speeches, she dedicated the success of her debut album to not only her producers, directors, band members, vocalists, and country radio, but to her loyal fans, her family and finally to her friends and members of The Singin' Strays (Floyd, Waylon, and Granny Rose) for believing that she can dig herself out of the dark hole and turned her career and life around.

And finally, she also dedicated the success of her album, her performance, and her newfound solo career in the memory, honored, and in tribute to the leader of The Singin' Strays, her late husband-mate, Cash. And it was all because of Dodger's lucky red scarf given to her in memory of her late mate. It brought a lot of incredible luck for Dixie, and it turned her career around for the better.

Now that she's an overnight success, her loyal fans and the media nicknamed her "The Divine Miss D," Dixie now must focus one more promise she made for herself, finding love again and maybe... she might be lucky enough to see Dodger again when she plans to go out on her first concert tour.

One Month Later...

Friday, December 3rd, after Dixie's successful clean sweep at The CMA and American Music Awards last month; Dixie's mistress; Rayna (founder, owner, and CEO of Highway 65 Records) announced to the press that Dixie's "The Divine Miss D" ten city concert tour was officially set in Early January to Mid-February. This was the very first concert tour as a solo artist and the beginning of a whole new era for Dixie.

Her concert stops which includes shows in Dallas (American Airlines Center), Houston (Toyota Center), Las Vegas (MGM Grand), Philadelphia (Wells Fargo Center), Miami (American Airlines Arena), Chicago (United Center), Los Angeles (Staples Center), Denver (Pepsi Center), Detroit (The Palace), and finally her last stop on the tour, Dodger's native home; New York City (Madison Square Garden).

And with The Big Apple the last stop in the tour, she would be extremely excited if she sees the Artful Terrier again. In addition, HBO (Home Box Office) is going to film Dixie's first concert special. It's scheduled to be filmed in February at MSG in New York and it's scheduled to air coming in May of 2011.

Later that night...

Back at the Claybourne House on Page Road, Dixie was staring at her CMAs and AMAs and other awards for her music in her newly remodeled bedroom as she lies in bed and goes to sleep, she was also wearing the red scarf that was given to her by Dodger. She wore it not just in the memory of Cash, but to feel the Bloodhound's soul in spirit and the warmth of Dodger's fur and body when she dreams of him.

And although she still misses her country crooning Bloodhound, Dixie had seriously turned the page of her past in her life as she enters a new chapter with a new mate... a courtship with New York's sexiest quadruped... a newfound relationship with The Artful Terrier... and that's just the beginning.
