Pixie Turns 4 Years Old
My baby turned 4 years old today! According to what we were told from the foster home where she was born, July 21st is her birthday. We didn't get her until October but since I know her actual birthday I celebrate both at once. It's still hard to believe that she's already four, it still seems like I literally just got her a year or two ago.…
View PostI Almost Lost the Pixie Bug to HGE
This entire week I've basically been off social media as I've been solely concentrated on Pixie as she almost died this week.

My little baby is growing up, today is her three year old puppy that I've had since she was twelve weeks old. Pixie Bug Jackie Young is her official full name or PBJ for short. Her mother was a rescue in Tennessee that was abandoned in a railroad car where she was found to be pregnant by a rescue group.

She had six brothers and sisters that were all adopted through the same foster home where they were born. We originally were going to adopt her sister Romana, but after meeting half of her siblings ended up driving home with Susie as she was called at the time.…

But since I'm technically just the aunt, I don't get a say and they are still figuring out what the final name will be. I'll keep you updated on what her final name will be once I learn it. But for right now I'm calling her Winnie.…
View PostOff-Lease Dog Parks with Pixie
In the Twin Cities there aren't a lot of open fields or places to take your dog that loves to run that don't require you have a lease. And a long lease doesn't cut it as they have limitations on the length of lease in many of these places. So finding an off-lease dog park is a must with having a dog who goes zero to sixty after a tennis ball. And I mean that quite literally... while maybe not the speed part. But if there is a tennis ball being thrown, nothing else matters in the world to her. And a six feet limit is not going to cut it. She wants to run 30 to 50 yards after the ball. If not more. …
