The Trinket T

This is Trinket, aka, the other dog, the guru, the baby dog, knuckle head, gazilla, mouse, dear, silly goose. He's my sweet baboo, our first born, our practice child before the real one, the reluctant big brother to the pug. Trinket is part Chihuahua and part fox terrier, more precisely, a mutt, and a runt of the litter. He also has unmentionable names related to his heritage. Here is what dad says about Trinket: http://billkeys.blogspot.com/2006/04/guru.html Trinket was born under the care of a dog rescue lady named Cathy Thomas. As a family tradition, our dogs carry their original last name, so we have Trinket Thomas and Bucky Butters. Love the rhyme. Trinket is neurotic. He's often scared, anxious, or simply weired. Fourth of July and New Years Eve are his worst nightmare, when all the firecrackers go off our little pup wishes he's moving to the North Pole. Trinket is our home grown security system, my cuddle bunny, the neutral third party in an arguement. He gives dad "the look" when he's being questioned, before slinking away with his tail tucked between the legs. If a dog has unconditioning love for his human, our love for Trinket is to infinity and beyond.

Vivian, I had no idea you were such a softy at heart. That's one lucky dog.
