A LITTLE ABOUT PIXIE

If you have ever visited our house, you would have noticed
that Pixie never really came out and greeted you. She was
one of a kind. She was very private and only lived for
Pebbles, Hussain and me. It’s not that she was unfriendly
or rude but that was her personality. She would charge out
and bark at someone only if she didn’t trust that person or
if he/she was wearing a hat. Her instincts and her sense was
just right on the money about people. Pebbles is so friendly,
she says hello to everyone that visits us but pixie didn’t
trust just anybody. She was the happiest when we were home,
especially me. She followed me everywhere I went, including
the restroom. Something that I thought was cute was that she
would walk right behind me and tap the back of my leg with her
paw. I felt safe in the house if Hussain wasn’t around. One
day I invited a man to get a quote on Life Insurance and
Pixie barked at this man with vengeance from the time he came
into the house until he left. She hated him. She sensed
something bad about him right away and true to her barking
word, this man ended up telling me that he loved me. I
appreciated her suspicious mind and thanked her for her
intuition. Just like that, she also knew when someone didn’t
like her, she stayed completely away from them. When she
sensed that someone was sincere and really wanted to say
hi! to her and pet her, she then went up to them and said
hello. She was an amazing dog, almost like a little child.

I feel blessed to have had Pixie in our home. She completed
us as a family. She brought so much laughter and happiness
to our home. Not only in our home but when she went to
grandma’s and grandpa’s too, she got along with all the kids
and loved them all. She loved her best friend Pebbles.
Pixie was born with in-grown ears and because of that she
counted on Pebbles a lot and Pebbles in turn loved Pixie
and took care of her like her own daughter. They were soul
sisters. They spent the last 13 years together, inseparable
except for the time when Pixie had her ear surgery. Even
then Pebbles spent a few nights at the hospital just to
support her best friend. They got lost together and were
found together. One thing we had no problem with was that
Pixie loved Food. The only time she didn’t take her cookie
was if we were leaving the house and she wasn’t involved on
that trip with us. We always told her BBS(be back soon)and
she would just go to her corner and sulk. We called it
“Pixie’s Corner” which eventually became a tune on the easy
listening channel. Pixie and Pebbles always got a special
bone when we received the royalty check. We still receive
royalties for this tune, thanks to Pixie.

Pixie was half cocker Spaniel and half keeshond. This mix
is rare, just like her. She had the best of both her parents,
the calmness of a spaniel and the silliness and faithfulness
of a keeshond. When I first met Pixie, I knew I was in for a
longterm relationship and love with her. I knew one day that
I’d go through trauma when I would lose her, however I didn’t
prepare for that day. I loved my little Pixie very much.
Nothing else mattered to me, whatever I did,
whoever I helped, with our ever busy running from gig to gig
life and my work, I always ran back home to Pixie and Pebbles.
Amazingly, I found that my husband also completely falling in
love with them and before you know it, we were both rushing
home to see them. We both had our individual silly songs we
sang when we entered the house. Hussain was brought up with
Cats and I was so happy when I was able to turn him on to loving
dogs too. Pixie loved to play ball. The only dog I’ve met who
knew how to kick a ball. When we would play ball, she would run
and get the ball, run back halfway, drop the ball and then kick
it with her right paw to us.

We would like to say thank you to each and every one who visited
this site to pay tribute to our little Pixie. Thank you for all
the beautiful e-mails, phone calls, cards and comfort. She is
missed terribly in our home. PLS. PROCEED FURTHER PASSED THE
