The thoughts and musings of Trixie, Yorkshire Terrier, Wise Old One, Beloved companion to GreenishLady
I am so sorry to say that Trixie's days have come to an end. I've written about it on my blog here. She was a faithful, loving companion, and I am going to miss her more than I can say.

Just past fifty, with a spring in my step some days, pen and notebook in my bag, I keep on being diverted by interesting projects... like blogging, but these are not diversions. They seem to be part of the journey

Ohhh noooo! I'm sorry! Loosing an animal can be hard to take. I had a cat named "Trixie" and I still miss her. Sighs..... I'm sorry for your loss.

When I was born my parents got me a dog (no child should grow up without a dog). My dad named her "Trixie". Anyone my age would know why. When I was 17 at the University of Idaho I got a call at my dorm in Theophilus Tower (Only in Idaho would an 11 story structure be called a tower). It was my dad. He said he had some bad news for me. My dad was not the kind of guy to use the telephone at all (that was mom's department). I immediately assumed something had happened to my mom. He said very directly as was his style, "Son, I had to put your dog down." My reaction would not have been any different had he said he had had to put my mom down. I dropped the phone. I could not attent class. Actually, I did not really need a good reason to not attend class. He had waited until I left to do what he had to do. It was tougher on him than me. This was a dog that dad had once jumped into the frigid water of the North Fork to save. This was a dog that had accompanied him on every fishing and camping trip for 17 years. At 17, Trixie was not able to function as a dog. Losing a long-time companion is tragic whether they are human or just think they are. I have had many dogs since Trixie (not a cat guy), but none like her. If fact, some of their names I cannot even recall. You can't feel sorrow for the death of a 17 year old dog. She had had a good run. It is only sad for those of us that are left behind.
I'm not sure exactly why, but in the past year I have witnessed the passing of a number of amazing animal spirits from the waking world. Perhaps they all decided to go to a place where they could meet and run free together?
My heart breaks for your loss, and rejoices in the companionship you've had with this dear sweet spirit.
