Update on Trixie

Hi, Trixie has grown quite a bit since last I posted. Her favorite pastime is sitting in my lap, which can be an impromptu affair. She comes running back and forth through the living room and suddenly she lands at full speed right in my lap. Break time! LOL


Time to do the dishes. They always come out cleaner with a little prewashing.



Yes that tail is real and no you can't have it. I don't care how good it will look on your antennae.


Every boy needs a dog and every dog needs a boy. This is Trixies boy Rickie. If you can't find Ricky just call Trixie and Rickie will be right behind her. Baby sitting problem solved.

  2. she was 34lbs last time I checked. She has a lot of hair,like poofy, so she looks bigger than she is. Right now she is a walking knot. So hard to stay on top of them without hurting her. Here of a good brush for knotted fur let me know.
    Thanks, Brady

  3. Pippin's fur is quite silky (she must get that from dad), but our sheltie has the poofy fur that gets matted really easily. We usually give her a bath using a good dog shampoo, and brush her afterward. We use a slicker brush, and then follow it up with a brush called the Furminator. It helps get rid of the undercoat so there's less shedding, and less fur to get knotted. I don't know if it will help with the knots that are there currently, but regular use will prevent them!

    Maybe Michelle has some advice, since she grooms doggies?

  4. Michelle said "Slicker Brush" and she has a certain way of brushing it that might help you.
    She has been very tired over the last few days, but we will put up a video on the way to do it.

    BTW Alison, Ashley is the one with fur like silk.
    The merles tend to have the really soft soft fur.
    Brady seemed to get the hairiest one of all!
    She got really thick fur like her dad along with a ton of the soft silkie coat like Pippy Long Schnout and Bandit.
    Michll3 might just put a video up here on a trick to getting the undercoat out of Trixies coat.
    Of course, Verna and Brady are welcome in the guest room...and Michelle offers Trixie a $90.00 super groom for FREE, just get here!
    We will be putting up a video soon showing the technique.
