Trixie had to prove herself
before she could come into
the boat.

Can I come in?

This was after she got her first bath!

First Bath

A really early photo of our gal.

Lounging on the dock

Peek-a-boo...Trixie was very young in this photo.
She was at the awkward stage in her life, with
her head being fairly larger than her body.

Peek-a-boo

Trixie loved to spend time outside
guarding the dock. I have several
photos of her sitting on the dock.

Guarding the dock

Trixie loved being with her family, even
if it was to go for a ride in the car.

Car ride!

Guarding the harbor!

Actually, Trix did love her t-shirts,
especially when she got older and they
helped keep her back warm for her arthritis.

Uh-huh

One thing I was always frustrated with
was her leggings. They were that fine fluffy
fur that attracted knot without her doing
anything!

Another guarding the dock photo.
I have many, so bear with me!

These two photos below are probably one of
my favorites. They show the dignity and
strength of such a tiny little girl.
Some of these made it on flickr and on
some Schnauzer websites. Way to go girl!

Trixie and her gang of stuffed friends.

The gang

Although Trix had many stuffed animals,
Teddy was her favorite. He was also the
first stuffed animal she got when she was
3 days with us. She fell in love with him as soon
as she saw him.

Trixie loved to lounge on the deck of
the boat too.

Anchors Away

She was ready for anything.
We got her the life vest after
she had drowned and she was brought
back to life again using mouth
to nose.

I'm ready!

Our gal hated getting her feet wet.
My mother made the rain slicker
for her, I never knew if she appreciated
it or not!

I hate the rain

I can hear her now!..Honest...
I wasn't scratching my ears!

I wasn't scratching my ear...honest!

Literally a high point in her life was
after her cataract surgery and she could
see again, even if it was only in one eye.
The plastic head thing was so heavy for
her, it was hard to walk her outside, for
it would knock her head down into the grass!

Trixie after her cataract surgery

My gal was always tolerant of whatever
I put her through, even if she had a short
temper towards everyone else. I guess you
could always call that real true love.

Cowboy up

Obviously a Halloween shot!

Me and my girl.
