Pixie The Grasshopper Hunter! Pixie Update

Getting updates from adopters with pictures and little stories of how happy they are with their new baby they adopted is one of the biggest honors a foster parent can receive. It makes our day and always brings a smile to our faces. I will caption the pictures with the update I got from Pixie's dad.

Pixie has been so good for Jasper. He is now down to 23 lbs. Our vet says that for his body size his prime weight is 22 so he has one more to loose. Pixie is holding solid at 19. (Jasper is in front. Looking good Jasper!!!!)

Here are a couple of pics of Pixie and Jasper wresting.

They like to try and get each others necks and make them all wet and sloppy.

They do not hurt each other - just sort of sparring type play. Pixie gets the best of him quite a bit now.

 

Pixie's superman is now a flat man. She pulled all the stuffing out of him.

I had to collect it and throw it away as soon as she got it all pulled out for safety.

Pixie has a new pastime grasshopper hunting. Although she has not caught one yet this is one of her favorite pastimes. She usually gets close enough to sniff one and then it flies or jumps away

They are both really enjoying the fenced backyard and so are we. We shortened the back yard by about 75 feet for a more manageable space. You can still see wood and debris in the pics from taking down the trees. Also the nice new fence keeping the little monkeys safe.You can also see Pixie in the background starting to collect toys in the yard. I have to pick up roughly four to seven toys each time I go to water the lawn. She has been a daily crack up for us - what a funny cute girl.

Here are some of Pixies first butterfly catch. It was a small white one.

After she had bitten it she could not understand why it did not want to play anymore. She had to give it a big sniff just to see if it was playing dead or not.

Her dad closes with this: Next week we are heading up to the cascade lakes for Pixie's first camping trip. Jasper I'm sure will be more than happy to show her the camping ropes. We have a 24ft travel trailer which makes it nice. I have a couple of nice tie out leashes which gives them room to roam within our camp site.
