Watch this commercial with your eyes closed. Seriously. Click the link and close your eyes without seeing the title. I’m not even going to embed this one because I don’t want any cheating. Before the woman starts talking, what the hell do you think is going on? I was sure it was some kind of …

Barking About BarkBox
At the beginning of this month, I got a Groupon for something called BarkBox.com. Basically, you pay a subscription fee and they send you treats and toys appropriate for your dog’s size every month. Groupon offered a discounted rate for the first 3 months, so I thought I’d give it a try. Sometimes it’s hard …
Pasta-Way
I meant to do this last week, but work has a way of sapping my brain of words and thoughts. A long time ago, I mentioned a dog named Pasta. Wow, that was almost 7 years ago, and it’s really funny to read all that stuff. Anyway, I got the sad news last week that …
A Public Apology To Trixie
Soundtrack time. So I guess there’s another Assistance Dog Blog Carnival coming up, and the deadline is tomorrow. I haven’t written in one of these since before my gallbladder surgery, woe.

A Tim Ekert Update
I just wanted to give an update on our buddy Tim. I don’t think he did very well with his GoFundMe page, but he managed to get the money together, and look at those results. Tim, you rock.
Great Big Swing-Along?
It’s become a morning routine to have CBC Radio 2 on as I get ready for work. Because of this, we discovered something that Tom Power does every weekday morning around 8:20 ish. He calls it the great big sing-along. Basically, he picks a song that bunches of us know the words to, and says …
I Blame Twitter For This Song Being In My Head
It seems the topic of vasectomy has come up a bunch on my Twitter timeline…don’t ask me why. But because everybody seems to be talking about it, they put this Bowser and Blue song in my head. Well at least it’s a good song. And now you can all have it in your heads too. …

People Actually Say Some Of These Wrong?
Here is a video about 79 words everyone gets wrong. I was feeling pretty good…but then along came officially, mauve and crepe, and maybe lava and pasta. I knew about forte but if I said it like “fort”, everyone would look at me funny. And there’s no friggin way I would say Wikipedia like wee-kee-pedia. …
