Shit People Say About Retiring A Guide Dog
Now that I’ve got it out there that Trix is retiring, I decided to write one of those “shit people say” posts. John Q.

Trixie Is Retiring
Well I said I had more to say. I’m going to try and write something. But I’m writing this at 6:30 in the morning, so it may look a little foggy. Yesterday I looked back in the Trixie category and found this post, chalk full of foreshadowing. I didn’t want to face it then, but …
Help GDB Build Its New SR Dorm
Woe! I live! Yup. Somehow, I’m here…ish. I have a lot to say, just finding the time to say it is another matter. I feel a little bad that my first post back is promoting the fact that GDB is looking for money, but it was an easy post to write since most of it …

The Eighth Carnival Lives!
Well that didn’t take long. the eighth round of the Assistance Dog Blog Carnival is up. March on over and checkout the posts.
Forward, march!
So…it’s assistance dog blog carnival time. I missed the one in May. The sad part about that was it was originally April, then it got postponed, and I still missed it. I forget what crazy was going on at the time, but since my life is full of more crazy than not, I’ll blame crazy. …
An Awesome Classic Story I Wish I’d Seen At The Time
You know, with my crazy schedule, I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with Twitter anymore. I’d come home from work, stare at the piles of tweets that had accumulated, and then promptely decide I could put my time to better use by doing…anything but reading them all. But …
