Introducing Pixel
Welcome all, to the creature that is nearest my heart, my dear dog, Pixel. Pixel is a five and a half year old, non-shedding canine, with large brown eyes, and an even larger brown nose. He is a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier (read, Soft-Coated Wheaten "Terror"), and every bit as loveable as any teddy bear.
Like most good dog-owners, I feel a connection to my furry friend, like no other human-dog connection. Pixel, in my eyes, is special. So special, in fact, that I overlook his shortcomings such as the fights he initiates with other dogs.
Some people have suggested that it's because of me that he fights. Me? but I don't WANT him to fight. I couldn't bear the thought that I was the cause of such canine violence, so I tried all sorts of doggie-socializing practices, including driving for hours to see an animal behaviorist, and spending a not-so-small fortune on trying to rehabilitate him. All of this, in vain.
I've accepted his anti-social behavior, and I no longer try to force him to be around other canines. He's so much more relaxed now, as am I.
The moral of the story: if your dog fights other dogs, just avoid the other hounds. I know some would argue, but I think it's the most sensible approach to an unpleasant problem. It's worked for me, and now my best friend is pixeliciously good.

Tullah loves Pixel. Her favourtie Pixel story is the one where he peed on this very lovely woman's coat
in the park in Toronto. It was the middle of Winter, and this woman was NOT happy
despite Pixel's Mommy offering to pay to have her coat professionally cleaned.
Of course this was after Pixel had gone after her dog......all in all not a great
day in the park but a very memorable one! It made me laugh when I needed
it most! Yeah for Pixelicious!!
Post a picture of Pixel's new mullet. Also, my previous post could use some editing! Oh well, that's what happens when you try to type, cook, fold laundry and drive to a hockey game all at once!!
