So yesterday we got the terrible news that our furbie Pixie has a cancerous tumour in her ear. She's been fighting ear infections for 7 months now, and in the next couple of weeks she's going to have an op to remove her ear canal. It's expensive, but we're not ready to say goodbye to her just yet 💚
