My life as Pixie

My life as Pixie seriously got better in May of 2003. I had spent 11 months trying my best to live amongst 16 other dogs on a neglected property in Mendocino County. I fought my way to get food and water and when the shelter picked me up, I was pretty skinny. I immediately got shipped down in a van to Berkeley's 4th Street so that I could be put on display for a possible adoption. My "mama" Krista picked me out of a crowd coming out from the van. A little Girl Scout had me on a leash and was starting to lead me to the holding pen. Krista ran across the lot and knocked the Girl Scout down just so she could pet me. I immediately peed because I was scared and I had had a long ride in the van.

But it was easy to see that Krista and CJ were going to give me a good home. Lots of people were in to me because of my black Lab/Jack Russell Terrier mix but CJ stood guard while Krista filled out the paperwork to take me home. It took me a little while to fatten up and come out of my shell but once I did, I was ready to be loved by all!

I have gained very high status in the neighborhood and especially on the Mills College campus. I have a particular affinity for good looking women that will rub my tummy. I spend many weekends at the Point Isobel water park where I swim my heart out catching the ball in the San Francisco Bay. At night, I curl up at my owners feet and put my paws over my eyes to block out any light. I love sniffing my backyard to death and keeping watch on the next door neighbor's cats. My life in short, has become exceptional. I'm spoiled and I love it. Everyone wants to be my friend and I welcome anyone who wants to be my Dogster buddy!
