Introducing......Trixie!

So, we got a new dog. It belonged to a neighbor of my mom's but they were done with it so we got it. And it is a fabulous addition to our house. It is a tiny white toy poodle named Trixie (formerly, Cotton, but we thought that was lame).

As you can see, she got along with Hazel almost immediately.
As her name suggests, she is one tricky dog. Or, at least a tolerant one.

A few days after we got her (she came down with my mom for Labor Day weekend), it was her birthday (September 8, for those keeping track at home). We couldn't let her first birthday with our family pass without a birthday party. Hazel made hats.
And we had cupcakes. And we had guests (the aunties). And presents (bones). And a lovely song, which I should find and upload because it was awesome.
Trixie was quite pleased with the celebration.
The cupcakes were still delicious the next day.

So, there you go. New dog. She is awesome. I will never* again get a puppy. An older dog (she is four now) is the best. House broken, kennel trained, shots up-to-date, tolerant with the mauling of children. We just need to get her fixed.

We LOVE Trixie! Thanks, mom. And mom's neighbors.
