This piece is dedicated to my old dog, Pixie, who was affectionately referred to as "Pickle". She was a burst of warmth and joy, and love that the world sorely needed. She wasn't just a good girl, she was my Best Girl. She was goofy and clumsy, but she always made sure to greet you with a gift. I hope this piece makes you feel even the slightest inkling of the warmth and love that she embodied.
