Well, apparently this afternoon I get my puppy. Still don’t know anything about it. We did a handle walk already. It was a little easier than the one I did at the interview, probably because I’d been warned about the details of it from the interview. It was cool. It’s really weird telling Tim to …

The Babs Journal: Day 1 (May 9, 2005)
I tried to enclose the actual journal in block quotes, because from time to time, I have to make remarks on what happened, notes from now to my past self, if you will. So off we go. Here I am. Holy shit. I stayed up all night last night because I’m a big dope and …
The Long-Lost Babs Journals
Believe it or not, we’re coming up on a year of Trixie goodness. I left last March 18 and took that big plane-ride to California and had no idea about my dog. All I knew was they’d founda match. This got me thinking about all things dog, and I thought about doing something weird. Back …
Trixie’s Famous, Why Leave Babs in the Shadows?
I figured since Trixie could be famous, Babs at least deserves her moment in the sun. So I dug up a picture of her and added it to her announcement post. So now you can know what both pups look like and compare. Hopefully I’ll have something of greater substance to say later.
Grief is Not a Joke!
Well it looks like I have a little more time than I thought. So here’s another post. Gotta get them written down before I go to the hell computer. Somebody made me a wee bit upset yesterday, and it’s still bugging me today. I ran into an old friend I haven’t seen in years, and …
I’m a sap!
I don’t know why I’m wasting everybody’s time writing this, but it just felt like it had to be written. I feel like a complete wimp. I also feel a bit selfish, when people have more important things to think about, like oh, say, who’s going to be our new Prime Minister, and here I …
Strange Things People Say.
Now that Babs isn’t with me, I get all kinds of strange comments. They always start out normal. “What happened to your dog?” I explain it to them, and then all the weirdness begins. One favourite is, “So, are you able to get around now?” Well, how did I get around for 20 odd years …
Words of Advice
Well, I haven’t been around here much for reasons I’m about to explain. I hope you’ll excuse my bitching for the next little while. You have been warned. Babs, my wonderful guide dog, developed a series of tumours, which although benign, aren’t good to leave in. There are too many to remove surgically, and the …
People are Getting Weirder, or Is It Me?
Yes, I’m alive. I just haven’t been very interesting these days, or seen anything interesting enough to write about…until yesterday. I’ve been having to take Babs to the vet because she developed a lump that had to be removed, and then I saw some smaller lumps and so we came back. Most people who come …
I’m back, did ya miss me?
Probably not haha. You were probably enjoying the pece and quiet. But alass, your peace and quiet is officially disturbed. I’m home from guide dog school, and now no longer live alone in my apartment. I share it with a 52 or so-pound 2-year-old yellow lab named Babs. This is the description I’ve been given …
