Trixie

We are so very sad to announce that our 2021 Alumna, Trixie, has left for the Rainbow Bridge.  Her mom Bonnie posted this beautiful tribute:

"Today I am sad for me but feeling at peace for Trixie. She was awarded these titles by me, I deemed her GCH Winterwood's Foster Fail MH, as she was all of these accolades in her heart and spirit, she was her previous owner’s hunting partner. We rescued Trixie almost 5 years ago, (she was 9) and made an easy decision after only 2 weeks that she would remain here at Dal Riada for the rest of her life. Trixie was such a sweet GSP, never any trouble and you barely knew she was around. On her daily walkabouts, she would check out the entire property, I would catch her flirting with the young handsome Winterwood boys even as recently as Christmas. This morning, she told me she was ready. She had been suffering the past year from liver failure and more recently a thyroid mass. Her attitude and her heart were whole, but her body had failed her, and I promised her a peaceful transition and it was. Forever in our hearts sweet girl."
