Dixie's views on turning 4

Hi! It's me, Dixie! Guess what? I'm 4! I had a very exciting birthday this past week. I got the polka dot elephant that I was hoping for, and I got to go on an awesome walkie. Of course, with another birthday I have been spending time in deep thought about what I want to accomplish as a four-year-old. Now that I am a tweeting dog I am noticing that many other tweeting dogs are involved in efforts to promote social change. I am finding myself inspired to do my part as an influential diva. I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, "But Dixie, you already do so much to improve divas across the world!" Yes, this is true. And don't fear, I am devoted to my craft and will continue on. However, there is an issue that I believe needs me. I'm sure you know what I am talking about as it is close to all of our hearts. The attack on the peanut-legume family, specifically our precious peanut butter.
One disturbing thing that has come to my attention is that humans are banning foods that associate with peanut butter. That is discrimination in its most upsetting form. How does that make the peanut butter feel? And they call it "cross contamination"...a very rude term indeed. Don't humans realize that peanut butter adds luster to a dog's coat? They are trying to decrease our luster! It is also where I get my niacin. Now granted, I am not really sure what niacin is, but it sounds important. So I have decided to become a vigorous activist for this cause. I feel it is my responsibility as a four-year-old diva.
