I am so sorry Mo. Remember (even though I know it is hard to do so) that you did not fail Pixie!!
You have and continue to give her a loving home and all the care that she needs. She is this way due to her genetics and really there was/is nothing you can do to change this. She loves you and will continue to love you no matter what!

I am sending you a big hug and Stella sends wet sloppy kisses!
