Trixie


On Wednesday, March 20th, our "head of ranch security", best dog ever, Trixie left us.😢
 She was 14 yrs. old in Feb. And we've had her since she was about 8 weeks old.
She practically trained herself, protected our critters, roled coyotes (literally!) and chased them off.
But these last few weeks leading up to her departure we could tell her time to leave us was at hand.
Her legs weren't working properly anymore, she was uncomfortable...
But now she is no longer in pain, and that gives us comfort in her departure even though we still miss her.

Here are some pictures of Trixie over the years. 😊

Trixie the day we went and got her! She chose us. :)

Trixie and her "Jolly Ball", she loved that thing!



Sweet girl!! My friend Sarah Donaldson (then Silliman) took this one of Trixie. :)


Well, I think that's enough pictures. 😉

Trixie may be gone, but she won't be forgotten. 💖

Doesn't the moss look like small ropes?!

Pretty flower down by the creek pathway :)


Spring is almost here!!!
Hope your March is going alright, ours is going well so far.

The fort schools are going well, I'm really enjoying them. :)
For 1st year I'm the assistent in the Fur Store Engage part of the program, so get to help teach about the Fur trade, what the guys did and help teach the basics of surveying!
And I found out this last week that next month the teacher for the surveying is unable to attend so the Fur store teacher and I get to teach that part of the class!
Glad I like that class and was paying enough attention I think we can do it no problem! ;)
