Arrival Story: Born January 20, 2008, Trixie Mae was a gift from God and picked out for us by our precious Dixie who we had to let go to rainbow bridge on New Year's Eve 2007. She is so much like Dixie it's almost scary sometimes. When we picked her out at 5 weeks it was because she was so very comfortable with both of us, snuggling in and kissing us when we held her, unlike her two sisters that we had already seen. She exhibited many signs to us of basically being another Dixie, we just looked at each other and said "Is there a decision here?", we knew that Dixie had picked her out and led us to her. I held Trixie Mae and thought to myself, "OK Dixie, we got the message", we already knew from the start that Dixie had led us to this breeder, there were just too many signs to ignore the feeling that God and Dixie had a hand in leading us there. We were a little leary about getting another puppy so soon after losing Dixie, but we now know that God has certainly blessed us with another sweet little girl.
Bio: Trixie Mae got her name because my husband said it would be a loving tribute to our Dixie. Her registered name is **LoJo's Bella Ju Ming Trixie Mae** and the meaning of her names are as follows: ***LoJo's=for me and my husband; Bella=(Italian) Beautiful; Ju=(Chinese) Chrysanthemum (like the Shih Tzu face); Ming=(Chinese)shining, bright, clear; after a dynasty (the Dixie dynasty for us); Trixie=(English) blessed, happy, bringer of joy; Mae = (English) Pearl (after her fur mother's middle name, also one of Dixie's birthstones).
Trixie Mae finally came home to to stay with us on March 21, 2008 at just two days shy of being 9 weeks old and had to weigh less than 3 lbs., her check-up visit to the vet 10 days later showed us we were correct in that guess when she weighed in at a whopping weight of 2.8 lbs. at 10 weeks old. Trixie Mae has been an absolute joy and has done a wonderful job filling the emptiness left behind when her "older sister" Dixie had to leave us. We miss our Dixie girl and we know that Trixie Mae can never take her place, but because of Trixie Mae we know in our hearts that our house is once again a home!

Hello Everyone,
Momma says she's gonna get this in here before she gets booted yet again. I'm doing ok, eating pretty well but still throwing up occasionally because I don't eat like I should. But I've gained some weight and Momma says that's all that really matters is that I'm not losing anymore. We miss being able to visit with everyone, but Dogster just doesn't like us much anymore and Momma has such a terrible time staying on for any length of time to check stuff out. She says that before too long she's just gonna delete everything and move on. So this is our chance to say to all our furiends that we've had a wonderful time knowing all of you. Please take care of yourselves, hopefully we'll catch up with some of your Mom's over on Facebook, Momma doesn't have so many problems there.
Hello Everyone, we know it's been a while since we've updated my diary. I have been doing well since my vet visit on May 9th, I've been playing with my toys A LOT since then. I'm also eating better..... finally. Momma says I eat like I have a hollow leg or something. BOL!! I even pester Momma every evening for some of my BilJac treats, I have never done that before, even when I was eating pretty good. The vet said that everything seemed to be ok, I had lost weight as Momma suspected and weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz., which was quite a drop for me. After listening to Momma, the doctor decided that it might just be a good thing to do a blood screen just to be sure that there was nothing abnormal going on, everything came back good, well within normal ranges except for the kidney, the doctor said it was just a little high, she said that it was pretty normal that some dogs are a little high or a little low, and that for now it was nothing to be overly concerned with right now but something to keep an eye on and check on occasionally. Momma will take a pee sample in this week to have checked again and make sure everything is good.
Other than that Momma says that I seem to be acting pretty normally, eating good, playing lots, chewing my bones and just visably a happier pup. Momma is very pleased and so am I.
Well, that's about it.... just wanted to catch everyone up. Hope everyone has a wonderful summer!! Until next time.........
Sorry it's been a while since we updated. Momma has been busy with her FaceBook account and because she has had so many problems with Dogster booting her and such that she has just neglected updating anything...... including my diary.
Basically, Momma says I'm still here, but she is still a little concerned.... to a point. I do have a doctor's appt. on May 9th to update all my shots and my annual check-up, but Momma says that if I continue the next couple days as I have since my last heat ended the beginning of March that she will see if they can squeeze me in early. She says that she still doesn't feel that I'm eating enough, although I go through most days without throwing up any bile. But what concerns Momma is that I have lost weight. On March 4th she weighed me and I was 9 lbs. 4 oz., last Thursday I weighed 8 lbs, 8 oz. and she weighed me this morning and I am at 8 lbs. 6 oz. now. She says that when we go to the doctor she is going to have him do a blood screen and anything else he may suggest to see if there is anything physically causing me to be this way or if I am just destined to be an extremely picky eater. Momma says that somehow this has to be resolved because she is totally exhausted both physically, mentally and emotionally. Momma says she's not had a decent nights sleep since the end of February when I went into my 2nd season.
Momma says that everything else seems to be ok, although I do sleep A LOT. I don't play with my toys like I used to either. She says she will keep an eye on me though and if she feels the situation is worsening she will be getting me to the doctor asap.
