Update on posting schedule

~

In case I haven’t said yet, I will be posting new comics on Tuesdays and Fridays, was finding the 3x per week a bit taxing at the moment. Actually, it was cutting into Trixie’s walk time, and we can’t have that :)

So, new Trixie coming tomorrow!

Tom & Trixie make it back down the mountain, to meet Jen at the campsite.

A hiking we will go!

In preparation for this week’s episodes, in which the gang goes for a hike, I thought it would be fun to show real-life Trixie and Holly on a hike of their own. These photos were taken on a camping trip to Red River Gorge in central Kentucky in fall 2008. Also in the second photo is hubby, Eric.

Really great post for those who know that dogs bring something sweet to our lives.

I’m always touched by the outpouring of affection that articles about
dogs elicit. A good example is this Etsy blog post from yesterday,
where I’m one of many commenters who can barely contain themselves
when talking about their love of dogs. My two Labrador retrievers,
both of whom passed away within the last year (they were 14 and 15),
were (as my brother put it) my artistic “muses” for many years.

That inspiration came from the joy they brought me every day, even
though their crazy eating habits (toilet paper, kleenex, socks,
dish towels, shoes, walls, leashes, my running pants, my Dalai Lama book
of wisdom, earplugs, camera case, etc., etc., the list goes on
forever), turned my house–and sometimes my life–upside down.

But frankly, my life needed to be turned over a bit to soften my heart and
make me appreciate those things that, at first, make you tear your

Helping with the laundry

~

Ever since she was a puppy, Trix has been a helpful dog. She has done this thing for a while now where she takes the clean dry clothes out of the dryer (sometimes, sometimes not). It started when we washed some of her stuffed animals (they do become rather crusty, ya know). She was very concerned with what had happened to them, and I think she was so relieved to see they were ok, that she started picking them out of the dryer.
We have since been encouraging her to “help” with the laundry by having her pick socks and other small items out and giving them to us.
To her, it is a game which results in much praise. To us, it’s just really cute!

Trixie in Florida

~

Last July, Trix got to spend some time at the dog beach at Lighthouse Point, near Daytona. The red dog in front is Holly, one of her housemates.
This was Trixie’s first time at the ocean, and even though she likes water, she wasn’t sure what to make of the ocean waves. She had not yet experienced water that chased her when she stepped in. It was very entertaining to watch her running back to shore after each wave rolled in.


Living in the Great Outdoors

Having found a good spot to set up camp, our little group is anxious to get unpacked and settled in.

How will Trix like living in the great outdoors?
No doggie daycare, no Harley or Barney, no trips to the dog park.

Stay tuned to find out!

Isn’t it such fun to begin a new adventure?

As Trixie, Tom & Jenna set out for their camping trip, Trix is overcome with the joy that a sunshiny day brings and puts any worries of bears out of her mind.
Stay tuned to see what tomorrow brings.
