Here is little Nixie, probably a Terrier x Schnauzer, who has been Aisha for a long time now, in fact since 2008 when she came down from Mildura as part of the Drought Dogs Program.

Nixie’s siblings and mum were all killed. Nixie was the only one we were able to save. She did have a faulty heart valve and was an early  operation by Melbourne Cardiologist Richard Woolley.

And she is still going strong and enjoying her life.

Here is Aisha on her bed with her half brother Mango and she attends a tai chi class every week.
