Meet Pickle
Breed: Miniature Dachshund
Barking from: Christchurch
What's up dog?
Pickle is the CEO of Pickle's Portraits and is constantly lingering about our home office in her various fuzzy beds, haha!
Gosh, where do we even start about why Pickle impacts our lives!? Firstly, she's the namesake and inspiration of our entire brand; without her we literally wouldn't exist:
Pickle is a sassy little sausage whod do anything for a treat, spends 95% of her life burrowed down into piles of blankets or barking at the courier, and somehow packs the personality of a rottweiler into her tiny 6kg body.
Pickle is the light of our lives “ she brings so much joy to our small business journey (which lets be honest, has been rough in the current climate), and always cheers us up when were having a bad day by doing something hilariously cute; even if that sometimes involves ripping up our packing boxes, lol!
Pickle has even inspired a new series on our Instagram, Positive Pickle. Every Friday we post a little motivational quote alongside an adorable portrait of Pickle doing something cute (weve attached a few of them here) to remind our followers of these important little life mantras!
No matter whats going on in the world “ Pickle is ALWAYS there wagging her little tail ready for a snuggle. She offers unconditional love and companionship, and we could never thank her enough for that! She reminds us to be kind, always look at the bigger picture and remember what matters most.
