Is it weird that I'm irritated with Trixie here? (Credit to Aussie Girl Margie and the Bluey Wiki for Captions and Transcript Respectively)
Trixie, like all the characters in this show, despite being an anthropomorphic dog, feels very human. She makes mistakes, and while past episodes show she has flaws of her own (namely, not communicating with Stripe about parenting techniques in Faceytalk), this particular instance just got under my skin.
Earlier in the special, when Stripe brings up that Rad was hoping that Frisky would move out west with him after the wedding (which is how Rad himself puts it at the reception), we see Trixie and him arguing in the background a little later about bringing that up to Frisky.
People are saying this is just a Classic Stripe but I find it hard to see Stripe in the wrong here.
Thanks to one of Youtuber Aussie Girl Margie's video (https://youtu.be/hTttUsWsXXg?si=iC-admJ-DLw6vIos [15:42 exactly]) in which she captions the argument

What just gets me irritated is that Trixie gets annoyed at Stripe for spilling the beans about what Rad wanted.
Yes it got Frisky worked up, and getting the bride upset before her wedding is obviously a big no-no, but imagine if someone else, like Bandit, or Rad himself brought up during or immediately after the wedding.
Frisky's debut episode Double Babysitter implied her last boyfriend Bosco cheated on her, and hearing about Rad apparently going behind her back would undoubtedly make her upset.
I've seen people say that Stripe was in the wrong here for getting in other's people business, but the episode (and the transcript) show that before their argument, Stripe brought up how (he was under the assumption that) Frisky was moving away too, just like Bandit and Chilli were planning to do, so it's not like Stripe completely brought it up out of nowhere.
Rad failed to communicate properly about living out west with Frisky, though he clearly told Stripe at some point, and Stripe likely brought it up under the assumption that was something Rad and his fiancee had already discussed in great-detail beforehand (which is not so unreasonable to assume).
At the end of the day, it is just Monkey's singing songs, and it fits into the one of the episode's subthemes; that being, the importance of proper communication (Rad and Frisky didn't talk about where they would live, and Chilli and Bandit didn't talk with Bingo to make sure she understood the concept of selling the house [and moving]).
