The newest edition to our family. Part Shitzu part chihuahua. Growing up we had a border collie with identical colors named Shelly. Mom suggested I name this dog Shelly. While I have yet to completely get over the loss of my childhood dog I did want to honor her and since Shelly was often called Shell-Bell, I felt Shellby was fitting. However, my husband came up with Pixie as she's not going to be very big and she is the runt of the litter. So this is the first animal I've owned that just might end up with 2 names. :-). She's a blessing and a wonderful addition to our family. Neither of our cats seem overly fond of her but Sassy our jack russel who is 5 years old seems to enjoy her playful banter.
