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.
Bellies full, our little group settles in for an evening around the campfire.
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!
Hot dogs, burgers, sure, but green beans??
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.
Glad to have arrived at the park, Trix can’t wait to get out of the car.
