Nixie is a sweet old girl. She is deaf but very food motivated and should come when you motion to her. Her bark is scary, but she has never hurt anyone. She just likes to assert herself. If you give her a treat (please not chocolate) and pet her she will love you forever! She is also very arthritic and heavy. If you find her please call me and I will come as soon as I can. If you happen to be near our house (450 Coyote Run, Lucas TX 75002) please put her back in the yard. Our other dog, Cubby, is big but very friendly!
