Meet Poppy and Trixie.

Poppy is a three-year-old toy aussie/papillon mix. Her favorite hobbies include hiding your socks and then forgetting where she put them, saving her treats to eat when Trixie most wants them and yoga-peeing (she has to pee on Trixie’s pee, but she can’t let the pee touch her, it gets interesting).

Sweet Trixie is a two-year-old miniature aussie who joined our family as an emotional support animal whose emotional needs are greater than those of the person she is intended to support. She enjoys snuggles, stealing the ball from Poppy so that the fetch turns to a fail, and hiding under the bed for hours if someone new comes to the house.

Both girls wait for me to finish breakfast each day, then head to the desk to make themselves comfortable while I write. Their support is invaluable.
