Our furry friend Pixie

Today I would like to introduce our little furry friend Pixie to you.

Pixie is a Maltese -maybe not a thoroughbred, but maybe all the more adorable because of that! She is almost eight years old and has been with us since she was a puppy. She's going where we go as often as possible. She has her own doggy safety belt in the back seat of the car and is comfortably situated in her own doggy basket. I have to put the back side of my front seat in a backward position as I cannot sit upright. Pixie and I both love that as we can cuddle up rather close together ;0)

Pixie likes the rides in the car and we tend to think that she knows our destination upfront. She seems to like visiting our caravan on a nearby camping rather than visits to our family. However, she is happily trotting along if we stop the car and lift her out and carefully put her on the ground. She is friendly to everyone we meet - friendly but careful. She remembers people, especially the ones that also are adopted by furry friends, even more so if they carry dog snacks :0) Her groomers at the Pet Wellness Centre love her.

She's lightens up the lives of the elderly people that we meet when we visit in the nursing home where Wynsen's mother in law lives -the mother of his late wife that we visit regularly. She knows and is friendly with the cats of my brother whom we visit every other week. And she exactly knows where the cat feeding bowls are and is *always* there before we are. She manages to finish whatever is in them -much to our dismay at a later stage of the day when she has to go for her walk and has an upset stomach because of it ...

These are a few little bits and pieces of our life with Pixie. We feel very privileged to have her in our lives and hope to be allowed to share it together with her for many many more years to come.
