The Joy of Loved Ones - Dixie Watches Over Pixel

Pixel's Mommy here on this (mostly) Wordless Wednesday. Normally I let Pixel do all her own posting, but she is having another terrible round of nerve pain & inflammation due to her docked tail. She's been in utter misery for days,  forced to wear her blow up collar so she can't touch her tail, taking steroids, nerve pain medicine and other meds to keep her calm. Needless to say, there is no sweet Pixel smile as of late. We are praying that she will be back to her smiling, joyful Pixel self very soon.
Her sister Dixie, whom you've seen many times in Pixel's sweet & comedic posts, and who survived being a puppy mill momma for 3 years, has traded roles with Pixel for now. Dixie has assumed the role of comforter and watcher, she has been seeking Pixel out to snuggle and stay close to Pixel while we try all we can to make Pixel comfortable and figure out our next course of action to help her through this painful tail nub time. Pixel's blog is normally mostly about her fun adventures, rescue work we do, and the joys she finds in life. Well, this is another part of Pixel's life that we mostly document and share through our No Tail Left Behind campaign on Facebook, Twitter as well as on our new website/blog. I took these photos today...
