6/19/06 - We had our sweet little Trixie for almost 2 yrs. She came to us with thyroid cancer and we did not expect to have the pleasure of company for as long as we did. Rest in peace
9/20/04 - Trixie is a very lucky little girl, she has been adopted by her foster family. Good luck to them all.
9/15/04 - Trixie continues to become
more and more at home with us. She does little dances and plays with our 3
year old boxer, Rocket. She is very funny, both in her expressions and her
movements. Trixie is not a "Prima Dona," but a goofball. Trixie barks at
newcomers approaching the house, but is always friendly when we have
visitors, especially children. Kids seem to really like Trixie too.
Even though Trixie loves to eat, she is not a "counter surfer." She
doesn't raid the trash or get into other mischief. Trixie is a good girl
who just loves to be with you.
9/6/04 - Trixie continues to blend
into our family. She is good with all dogs, but does not like cats ( she
thinks they're play toys) Trixie love to lay on your lap, and just wants
affection. She is very good with kids of all ages and seems to miss
kids,(she had them in her old home) so she is very happy when our grand
children are here.
We have walked her on crowded streets and have had all ages of people walk
up to her without any problem. She is a great dog with no bad habits and
she is a good watch dog who pays attention to her surroundings, but is not
aggressive.
Trixie was a city girl and we had to introduce her to the beach. (we have
been staying at our cottage) She wouldn't "go" on the sand. but wanted to
"go" on the pavement. She soon learned, if our other dogs "went" on the
sand it was OK.
8/24/04 - Trixie is easy to live
with , she gets along with our other 2 dogs. (a boxer age 3 (male ,fixed)
and a mix 13 year old male( fixed) Trixie does think that cats are
self propelled playthings and need to be chased. She is good with
kids (4 yr old granddaughter) She will walk with our boxer (Rocket) with
out any problem. She has a howl that we have never heard form a boxer,
kind of a wolf howl only more plaintive.
She sleeps by my feet in the evening, beside my desk during the day and
beside the bed at night. If she would just leave the cat alone she would
be the perfect companion!(:>) Mark
8/20/04 - Trixie's family found
themselves having to move to a place where they could not have Trixie and
they are heartbroken. They want everyone to know that Trixie
was loved very much and they hated to have to give her up. She was in a kennel for 6 weeks until
BAR became aware of her and one of our retired foster homes stepped up and
offered to foster her. She is a petite little girl who is a little
confused at the moment.
Thank you Nancy for driving Trixie to Stamford and to Pat Ferman for
transporting this gal all the way from Stamford to East Lyme, CT.
Her previous owners report that she is good with other dogs and cats.
She has been raised with 3 children and is good with children of all ages.
She is used to sleeping on a couch and would try to climb into bed with
the kids. She was let lose in the house and does not chew, destroy
things, or make a mess. She is described as "quiet." Her
favorite pass time is to play with kids and likes any toys that are
thrown.
Trixie has a fatty mass hanging from her forearm that we will be checking
out with our vet. She is spayed and up-to-date on all of her
vaccinations. Look for updates soon.
