Trixi


This is Trixi.. she is the momma to Pixi.. Now if you can tell on these pics.. but Trixi is just a tiny little thing.
She weighs only about 9 to 10 lbs tops.. She does not come out from under the covers and so I had to do things a bit different .. I have a feather comforter that she really loves. She will crawl under and stay under all day. All you see is a lump.

She will however come out and say hello to me when I get home from work.

Chuck

This is Chuck..
He is a Rat Terrier,, just like Trixi and Pixi.. He is the daddy to Pixi.


I would say he weighs about 13 lbs. Chuck is so spoiled.. he has to sleep on the pillow next to my head. He is a bit old,, and at 13 years cannot jump on the bed anymore. If I don't pick him up and bring him to bed, he will jump on the side until I pick him up. He is really a character.. taking 3 pieced of dog food and taking them to his pillow on the floor (a real dog bed, not a bed pillow) and guards them until he is ready to eat them.

"The Hole"

This set is "The Hole". Here Wally is coming to the worst spot in the run. They have to go through all the markers in the river.
We don't remember which number marker it was (I think it was #5, but I could be wrong..) but this is where about 95% of the rafters flipped the raft.

All you can see in this picture is the oar and the very top of his helmet. I wasn't even sure if he made it through while I was watching his run.. I couldn't believe I even got the pictures I was so nervous watching or trying to watch him do this run.

Here he made it through "The Hole".. whohoo for Wally!!! He was still in his raft!!!

Wally Rafting

These couple pics are a few of the best.. You can see the determination

on his face to keep the raft from flipping.

This is where he is starting to go down river.

This is the end of the run.. He managed to stay in his raft for the
whole run.. YEAH WALLY!!!


Let me tell you,, he was a cold puppy when he came on shore..
He was not used to the cold water.. and it didn't
help that he wore nylon shorts.. Either way,, he did good. I was proud of him.. :)
