Monday Mischief: Pixie Sticks Her Nose Where She Shouldn't

Today, we have a guest mischief-maker that we're featuring - the delightful Pixie. (Rita's just been such an angel, we had to go hunting for mischief.) Doesn't she look sweet?

Don't let her cute looks and diminutive size fool you...


Our story begins when I got a desperate "can she be saved?" email from my friend, Pixie's mom, who was also angel Rio's mom. Her email was in reference to the Mini Rio my sister and I had felted, which originally looked like this;

But now looked like this:

A drawn and quartered Mini Rio arrived in the mail, wrapped lovingly in heart tissue paper

That's right - little Pixie decided she could improve on our work. (The fact that these are made of wool and therefore must smell very tantalizingly of sheep should be taken into account here. A puppy can only resist so much temptation...)


Luckily, I was able to perform a leg-on-tomy (times 4), a rebuild of the neck, lip-o-suction (get it? Cuz her bottom lip was coming off...), and a tail-graft. Thus, Humpty Dumpty Rio was together again.

This kind of reconstructive surgery is pretty popular in image-conscious So Cal!

But, did Pixie stop at dismembering a member of the household? Nope, she also decided to remodel the living room after the bathroom door was left open:

In fairness, what puppy doesn't enjoy a good romp with some toilet paper?

 Perhaps this is all just payback for Momma dressing Pixie like a mermaid (merbitch?) on Halloween:

"Oh the shame... No amount of treats will make up for this.... tho' I am rocking this bikini!"

Way to go Pixie! You are in the running for the Mischief Hall of Fame!
