Arrival Story: This is Trixie's people-puppy sister writing. My parents got her when she was just born. My dad knew her mom, because her mom and her people would come to the store where Dad worked. Mom and a friend went over to pick out one puppy, and came home with two: Trixie and her sister Taffy. Mom and Dad decided to keep Trix because she wasn't afraid to climb the stairs. When I was born, Trix immediately adopted me as her people-puppy sister and became my guardian in the true sense of the word.
Bio: Trixie was put to sleep on November 11, 1986. She lived in Vancouver, Washington. She is much missed by her family, especially by her "people puppy" sister.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Do you have any funny training stories?
It's my birthday today! I'm celebrating at the Bridge with my friends here, and watching my human grandma and my human uncle celebrate their birthdays on Earth. Sis and Dad are going to go out to dinner with Grandma and the family for birthdays tonight. For part of the drive to Grandma's house, Sis and Dad will probably tell "Trixie stories". That's their little tradition to keep my memory alive.
Another time, I had gotten out to go play in the neighborhood, and human Mom went to look for me. Well, she found me alright, but I was surrounded by a pack (5 or 6) of cocker spaniels! Now, cockers are alright, as long as there’s only one or two of them, but they were nipping at me; this was too much and I wanted out of there! Mom saw my predicament, and went in screaming and kicking. It’s just a wonder she didn’t get bit! She was so afraid they’d bring me down that she went into the whole pack to save me!
When my human “people puppy”’s great-grandma died, human Mom baked a chocolate cake to bring along for the gathering after the funeral. I knew I wasn’t supposed to eat it, and I normally was very, very, very, VERY good about leaving things alone (even food alone) that was on the counter. But that smell of freshly-baked cake was just too delicious to resist! I didn’t even touch the counter, just stood on my hind legs and bit just the tiniest piece off the corner of the cake! My human mom came back in the room and saw what I’d done, and I got a talking to, while licking my lips. I was ashamed, but it was so good! Human mom cut around the cake where I’d bit off, frosted it with a little extra frosting at that corner, and took it anyway!
