I'm very sad to announce that Trixie has passed to the bridge. She was a really great dog. She not only had a royal pedigree, but a tremendous amount of personality and heart. She will be very missed by Kristen Fiato and family, her family for most of her life. Kristen cared for her not only for her life, but through her illness and passing. They love her very much. Trixie got very lucky and couldn't have had a better family to share her life with.

Trixie was the absolute sweetest sheltie I ever met. She was the kind that would cuddle as long as you would let her. She was very good at it, not too clingy, not too overbearing .. just the right amount of huggy. Everyone who met her loved her. She was brilliant and had a really wonderful temperment and personality.

Trixie was from my Flair/Legend litter of 2001. She was the pick of Donlyn Kennels (stud dog owner) but alas never did bone up. That's ok, she went on to go live with Kristen and start her life with them. She did love to show in UKC and often beat out her mother and brother! When she was younger, Kristen would bring her to the shows and we'd have a fun reunion. Trixie is sister to Tyler and Heidi, and was always one of my favorites.

Trixie, you will be very very missed. You lived your life in the arms of angels, and now you are romping with your mother and grandmother at Rainbow Bridge. Sweet Dreams, our beloved Trixie.
