Ah, Warmth!

 I am happy to report that we are out of the deep freeze, finally, and I am very relieved.  I can do cold, I can do wind, I can do rain, I can even do snow/ice (within reason) but I can’t do all at one time!  I think the worst is behind us but we DO have February and March to go through yet and it IS Texas so, honestly, it could turn to summer or we could all be out building igloos.  I mean, it is dicey but for today we are thawed and I see sun and that is good enough.

I am going to touch on a subject today that I don’t really talk about too much and Iam not sure why, maybe I just figure it isn’t an interesting enough topic or, perhaps, people really aren’t into pets but today is the day for —

TRIXIE TEENA!

I can see her on a Tik=Tok video singing “I am a potato” because she very potato like.

(BTW — the mug photo is from Etsy and the mugs are for sale.  I might buy one.)

  If she were smaller she would be a baked bean.  However you describe her, however, she is a Giant Yorkie.  She was supposed to top out at about 8 lbs as per her breeder but she is at 18.8 now and she waddles.  We love her even if she is completely out of spec — no long hair, no straight hair, parti-colored, LARGE,  Just not your common, garden variety Yorkie.  But she is our child, the one who isn’t going to grow up and run off with a significant other (we took care of that), she keeps us busy and is humorous —

Trixie listening to me make a grooming appointment — do you think she is concerned? Laying with her head in the corner and splooting?  Hmmmm……this will be our fourth groomer …..

Trixie says good morning — this was two days ago

About a week ago Trixie was asleep, like in a coma, on the sofa and I was in my recliner which sits perpendicular to the couch — she must have been dreaming and something startled her because she flew off the couch, much like this little fella in the picture and landed across my ankles on her tummy and just rolled off on the floor.  I couldn’t catch her but we checked her over to make sure she was ok.  She was.  She just sort of waddled back over the couch, jumped up and continued her nap right where she left off.  So, I told my friend about it and she sent me the above photo — that was exactly how she looked. It was hilarious but thankfully not injurious.

So, that is Trixie Teena living her best life.  Today she looks like a bear, tomorrow she is going to look more like == well, an uncooked pinto bean.  I will share the “look” tomorrow —- hopefully I don’t have to look for groomer #5.

Trixie says it is time for her mid morning nap.  Have a good day y’all!
