"Boing boing boing boing, goes her new Bow wow wow wow!" -- Al Roker during the 2016 NBC telecast
Trixie the Dog is a novelty balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She is based on former Parade director, Amy Kule's, pet dog.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
This special cairn terrier, who is tenderly raised by Macy's Parade Studio, made her debut in the 2016 Parade, to help celebrate the Parade's 90th march. The balloon is also notable being the first balloon that utilizes a "springy" effect for its legs. These gave her bouncing legs, which gave her the surname "Trixie the Bouncing Dog". She was only seen in the 2016 Parade and hasn't appeared anywhere else since.
Trivia[]
- A similar gimmick to Trixie's bouncing legs would be used for the Hottest Heart balloon's legs in 2022.
