More: Beatrix is my dream come true. She's seen me through the lowest lows of my health, state-to-state moves, and every other big life thing. She likes her space, but she's never more than 10 feet away. She has about a million nicknames, including (but not limited to) Pookie, Muffin, Pumpkin, Boo, Dog Dog, and Porky Pie. She loves whole carrots, the park, and hikes. She's the best kiddo I could have ever asked for, and I'm grateful for her every minute of every day.
