Tansy Stuff
It’s almost Christmas, holy moly, so I thought I should write another Tans post. Amazingly, this one *shouldn’t* be a monster. I was feeling pretty good about our progress with Tans in the hatch. Well, all of that fell apart when once again, she rode with something that bumped her as we rode. Now, her …
Boom Cookies
I wish I could have tried this with Trix. I’ll remember this next time I have a dog who freaks at thunder and fireworks, or if Shmans ever develops the fear. I don’t know who wrote this originally, I stole it off another friend’s Facebook. “Boom Cookies” or “how to teach a dog to not …
It’s A Dog! A Whole Dog!
Ever since I heard this song about an entire dog, I hear it in my head whenever someone comments “Ooo look, a doggy!” I’d love to see this become a code, like a secret hand…er…pawshake between people with service dogs.
Rapidly Developing Technology
Yesterday, I had to go get some pictures from my phone printed. I went to the “photo finishing” area of Shoppers. For some reason, the term “photo finishing” made me laugh, because this version was nothing like photo finishing as we understood it as kids…which made me go watch this Kids React video, which it …

A Couple of Weird Songs To Haunt Your Nightmares
Somebody posted this list of the 30 weirdest songs of all time to the Dr. Demento Facebook group. Some of the songs on there seemed kind of lame, but there were definitely a few gems on there that I’d never heard of before, and were way out there. One of them sounded so freaky that …

Do You Have My Steak Today?
You know what’s sad? News has gotten so weird that this story of a customer pulling a gun on a McDonald’s employee because they wouldn’t serve him a steak bagel at 3 in the morning probably wouldn’t have caught my eye. As scary as I’m sure it was for the girl working that night, nothing …
