In my own opinion I am just a guy, my dog on the other hand thinks I am a giant meaty organism meant solely for licking, throwing his frisbee and feeding him. I prefer my dog's view of me personally. He gets to run with me and swim with me, and when its all over he gets rubbed down by me. He misses me when I go kyaking, bouldering or bike riding, and loves it when I bring home pastry snacks from Joshua Cup, the coffee shop I work at. Oh and he loves going to play on campus at Mercer University where I go to school cause of all the cool classes I get to take like Archaeology of the Caribbean and History of Photography. He gets to chill out underneath the oak trees on campus while I'm in class. But most of all I think Dixon, my dog, and I like to be at home in Juliette, Ga cause we've got 70 acres to roam on with my other dogs, Roxy and Baron. Dixon is a great dog so my mom and dad give him, Roxy and Baron milkbones every morning and night. Like I said before in my own opinion I am just a guy, but to my dogs I think I am the whole world. Hm maybe there is something in there to think about how God thinks of us. :)

Anyway if nothing else in the world I know that God and my dog love me!

I cannot wait to meet everybody, this summer is going to be unforgettable!

Your Brother FOREVER!!!,
