TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) When a trembling, timid chihuahua showed up outside Cackleberries restaurant on a freezing day in January 2015, she was 7 years old and weighed only 2 1/2 pounds. She could not possibly have conceived at the time that she would become the hero of a rhyming children s book and that the book would help other abandoned animals like her.
Kimberly Kimbler, who works in the nursing department at Indiana State University and is the president of TREES, Inc., owns a large collection of children s books and long wanted to write one; that tremulous chihuahua provided the inspiration. Kimbler has written The Perils of Pixie, the story of her rescue pet.
She says the humane society helped her through so much, she just wanted to give back.
