About Us
Trixie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Trixie
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Miniature Schnauzer
Home: Bowie, Maryland, USA
 
   Trix(ie) is short for Beatrix which is short for her super-official name, Ms Beatrix of Amethyst. She is named after Beatrix Potter, author of Peter Rabbit and other wonderful stories of animals. We got her as a tiny puppy. So tiny that she could, and did, sleep curled up on Bob's shoulder (Bob got rather stiff, sitting in that chair trying not to move).

    Trix is an intelligent, affectionate little bundle, definitely Queen of the House. Her joys include chewing her Nylabones (the big ones) and dropping them loudly on any vinyl or hardwood floor just to hear the thud, playing and cuddling with us, sleeping under the covers, and eating ice cream. She is not enamored with children (luckily for her, we have none), is afraid of thunder and thunder-like loud noises (a result of her attending a rather meager fireworks display last July 4th - go figure), and is rather barky with people outside the family.

    We love her to bits.
