Baxter often welcomed daily visitors of the Blaine House, many of which were children. Baxter was also the subject of a blog written by Paula Benoit from April 2011 to June 2012, Blaine House Director and Assistant, to interest viewers in the Blaine House's history and current events. Each post featured photos of Baxter maintaining his role in the Blaine House, sometimes accompanied by text simulating Baxter's viewpoint on a Blaine House event. Baxter was also the subject of the book Baxter in the Blaine House and two Facebook pages, each simulating Baxter's viewpoint on events. He died from cancer at age 11 on March 29, 2016. His death was announced by Brent Littlefield, Paul LePage's political adviser, a day later. (en) |
