I have one dog that doesn't know she is a dog. Trixie is her name, and writing is her game. Her pic's on my homepage. I named her Trixie since her sister was already named Dixie...they looked liked twins and well, you know...

My son brought me Trixie, almost 13 years ago. She's ruled this house every since. She only goes out to do her business and prefers recliners and Law and Order, Special Units.

After my son got Dixie, and I got Trixie, he bought a registered boxer and named him Duke. I called him Duke of Stupid. I swear, that was the dumbest dog I've ever been around in my life. But he did give them 9 puppies. It was the only thing he knew how to do right.

For those of you that have a copy of my book, you've read the Dog Sitting 101 story of babysitting Trixie, Dixie, and Duke and making the mistake of leaving them alone in the house for about 20 minutes.

DON'T TRUST THEM.
