Eva McGuire celebrates her 90th bhirthday
A reception was held on May 7, 2006,
in the First Baptist Church Fellowship
Hall in Perry honoring Evora McGuire
on her 90th birthday. About 80 friends
and relatives attended.
For the first time ever, a family pho
tograph was taken with all of her chil
dren, grandchildren, and their spouses
present. Mayor James Worrall present
ed her with a proclamation declaring
May 7, 2006, as Evora McGuire Day in
Perry. i
Local family members attending were
her son and daughter-in-law, Malcolm
Dixie Dew and her weight problems
Before I even returned from
the six-week book tour that
had pulled me from one side
of the country to the other, I
knew it wasn’t going to be a
pretty sight. :
I was right.
Dixie Dew had spent the
duration of my 27-city tour
with Mama. Apparently, she
had spent the entire 42 days
in the kitchen. She was so fat
that she could hardly walk.
As you may recall, Dew is a
dachshund so because of her
long back, it is imperative to
keep her weight down so she
won’t have problems. I am
particularly sensitive to this
since my last dachshund, the
much beloved Highway, cost
more money in surgery and
vet bills than I have ever spent
on myself.
With the exception of my
brother-in-law, I am the only
person who worries about her
weight. Rodney, who never
holds back what he is thinking,
says regularly, “Your mama is
going to kill that dog, if she
don'’t stop feeding her.”
Halfway through the tour, I
had flown home to do media
interviews and two book
signings. It also gave me an
opportunity to check in on
Dew’s weight. One look and I
immediately knew we were in
trouble so I had a strong talk
with Mama.
“Mama, you have got to stop
feeding her constantly. This is
serious.”
Imperviously, Mama raised
her chin up and looked away.

“Well, if I'm doin’ such a bad
job taking care of your baby,
maybe you should just get
yourself another nanny.”
Dixie Dew, no surprise,
sided with her nanny. As she
listened to our conversation,
she jumped down from her
place next to me on the sofa,
ran over and jumped into
Mama’s lap. She stared at me
defiantly while Mama put her
arm across her and smiled
triumphantly.
When the tour ended and
I returned home, Dew, again
no surprise, had gained more
weight. She was swayback
from the additional weight
that made her sink in the mid
dle. Her belly almost dragged
the ground. I was heartsick.
There was nothing to be done
but try to right the situation.
I took her home, put her on
a serious diet and an aggres
sive exercise program. I took
her on long walks twice a day.
Again, no surprise, but she
wanted to run away back to
her nanny’s house.
A few days into Dew’s physi-

cal reform, I noticed something
was wrong with her. Her eyes
were extremely sad, she moved
slowly and couldn’t jump on
the sofa or bed. Worried, I
called her vet.
“I think Dew’s having back
problems,” I explained. “I
have to leave tomorrow for
New Orleans and I'll be gone
several days. What should I
do?”
“Bring her in now and I'll
wait for you,” Dr. Smiley
replied. “If she’s having back
problems, we need to act
quickly.”
As Dr. Smiley examined her,

Other out-of town relatives attending
included hersister-in-law, Lucy McGuire,
and her nieces and spouses, Faye Munn,
Ann and Larry Hobbs, Barbara Dunlap,
Marsha Morris, Janice and Gary Jones,
Wendy and Greg Turner, Linda Rogers
and Tom Parker, Barbara Skipper, and
Nan, Steve, and Stephanie Carbonetti.
Mrs. McGuire would like to thank
all of her friends and relatives for their
thoughtfulness, cards and well-wishes.
She feels blessed to have you in her
life.
I explained that she had been
with Mama for several weeks
and eaten to her heart’s con
tent and beyond. The scales
revealed that she had gained
almost three pounds, an enor
mous amount for a small dog.
“Once I got home, I put her
on a diet and a strict exercise
program.”
Dr. Smiley nodded then gave
his diagnosis. “She doesn’t
have back problems. She’s
got sore muscles from all that
walking.”
I had accused Mama of try
ing to kill her but I, appar
ently, was doing a better job
at it. Two weeks later, though,
we returned for a follow-up to
discover that Dew had lost two
pounds. I was jubilant.
Of course, I knew she had
lost weight even before she got
on the scales.
I could tell it by the way her
clothes fit.
