Pixie had her blood work done today, she was a brave girl! Melissa got her Chick-fil-A as a special treat afterwards.

Thank you for your support and sharing Pixie's story.

This is Pixie, she's a very sweet 5 yr old bully boxer mix we've had since she was 2 months old. Recently we found out she needs knee surgery (MPL grade 4). We're trying to raise some of the funds for the procedure. If you could help or share it would be appreciated.

The Victorian garden in the Missouri Botanical Gardens on a partly cloudy day.

It wasn't easy capturing it without people walking through, kind of a perfect moment.

I may need to wake my neighbour for help.
My 4 foot heavy Live trap weighs a lot, and very difficult to handle with a 20-30 lb raccoon inside. Well, double that, I got two in one trap. This will be a challenge to release

I'm enjoying a nap with my siblings. Penguin is on the left, and Oreo is under my paw. My humans work hard, so we can be lazy.
