So apparently there was a window tax in 1820. People would obstruct their windows to avoid it.

#found in balzac’s beatrix #a novel where his george sand stand in takes the foreground #i do wonder why a window tax would exist #(so far the writing is very good here there’s not much of B’s irony he sounds kind of hugolian even #very elegant prose very romantics speculative explanation of the origins of things -in this case the venetian 4leaf clover in architecture-#lol #then it gets a teensy bit boring and royalist #but the initial description of britanny and it’s medieval art is evocative #beatrix tag

I didn't realize Trixie was rehomed!

Yeah, I think there's a long post about it in the #beatrix tag. Essentially, she needed an indoor home where she could get a ton of one on one attention, not an outdoor yard guardian home. That's why we got her, what her breeder/old owner said she was good for, and it made her absolutely miserable. Not only is she a Velcro dog, she's the most loyal, devoted, one-person-dog I've ever known. She needs Her Person.

She also had some very strange hormonal swings with heats and litters before her spay (which the spay completely cleared up). Amped up her guardian drive and stressed her out a LOT. So it was best all around for her to be in a pet home

Now she has a person all to herself! Her owner's roommate does have another English shepherd and they apparently play all the time. Her owner works from home. Nice big house and yard. The two of them go out in town and to beaches, just spend ALL their time together! Which I knew would make her so much happier than sharing me. She's really content and securely attached which she definitely wasn't here. I'm so thankful she has that now, as hard as it was to say goodbye to a dog who bonded as strongly as she does

This is Trixie in her new home last night, already a belly rub glutton. Day one! That trust took a week or two when we first got her. I'm so happy for her... but it's mixed with deep sadness saying goodbye to the most loyal, devoted dog I've ever known. I've lost track of how many times I've cried the last couple of days. Mostly happy crying now. She needed this.

Just got off the phone with her new owner while she was walking her. I'm positive this was the right choice for Trixie. She's already so at ease. I think she knows she's safe. That took a while when she was getting used to us after her old home. Lot of things I could say about them... :/

Her new household is 2 middle-aged women, 1 who has an English shepherd already and 1 who wanted a cuddle buddy, a companion, a dog to spend all her free time with. A Velcro dog. I have too many to be able to give Trixie what she needs. I'm just upset with her first owners for acting like she was content as an outdoor working dog. I wouldn't have gotten her if I had known how much she needed 1. a spay (her hormones affected her WAY more than I've ever heard of happening) and 2. to be indoors and given tons of attention. Both are already helping her and it's hardly been any time at all.

Anyways... her new owner lives in a big house with a big yard. They make sure to keep the household energy calm, caring, and kind. That's important to them for personal reasons that I think will make them especially equipped to give Trixie the life she needs, after what she went through too, back in her first home. When I talked to this woman on the phone I just knew her and Trixie were a better match than I could ever be. It's already working out so much better than I could have hoped and. I'm gonna go cry again so bye y'all

#Beatrix tag #i'll continue posting updates!#it's a 5 hr drive but i do hope to visit her
