“Popcorn. Soft pretzels. Hot dogs. Roasted chicken breast with mashed potatoes and gravy (in dream theaters.) Me, Trixie, who is dog (good dog, good) loves movies. Last week saw King Kong
, saw The Thin Man, really liked The Big Sleep. Warning! Don’t go see Old Yeller. Ending sucks! Old Yeller written by angry hateful crazy cat! Or Satan!“In Thin Man movies is smart dog named Asta. Like all dogs, Asta is funny. All dogs except Old Yeller—and Lassie, so busy saving stupid Timmy, she never had time to be funny. And did Timmy ever give her peanut butter? No. Mostly he just said, ‘Thanks girl,’ and ran straight off into burning barn or quicksand.”

You know how everyone and their dog wants to write a book? Well, here’s one. Had to mention this book. Love Trixie. Pretty soon you talk like Trixie. Good dog, good.
Last blog I mentioned movies, now I’m talking about books, what is your favorite? I have to add Meryl Streep’s recent movies to my movie list. That woman, can you believe, Momma Mia
, Doubt,
Julia Julia
(about Julia Childs), and It’s Complicated? Just when you think movies have lost their luster along comes this woman, the great Streep. She can play anything. And see Clint Eastwood’s latest movie, Hereafter.
It might make a believer our out of you…Working on being positive. I suck sometimes.
“Howl a little. Let loose. Say, ‘I am here.’ Say ‘I am dog,’ or whatever you are. Don’t howl ‘I am dog,’ if you are not dog. You’ll look stupid.” Words of wisdom from Trixie:
