If you don’t know what that title said, it was my best impression of my reaction to the news that Chuck is Retiring at the end of July. When I got the email that Chuck Farrugia, my field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind was retiring after 33 years of amazing service to all …

Cicadas, Domino, and You
I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …
Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!
In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …

I Wonder If I Could Get Away With This
This is a really funny story that had better be true. If I find out that the New York Times got hoaxed back in 1908 it’s totally going to ruin my day. @weratedogs An absolute legend. 14/10 #weratedogs @ahistoryofdogs ♬ original sound – weratedogs “Dog a Fake Hero: Pushes Children into the Seine to Rescue …
Tansy’s Massive Playlist
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong With The Radio
Do you put the radio on for the dog when you go out? It won’t keep your pet calm, study finds Science is science I guess, but anecdotally, I’m not buying this one. I can’t speak for Domino yet because he’s only been here for a few weeks and we haven’t needed to leave him …
Dominouch
I may need to think twice about watching wrestling when Domino is around, because it appears he’s mastering the art of the foreign object. He likes to come over while you’re sitting down and put his front paws up on you. This has evolved into a game with him and I where sometimes I’ll try …
Dominotes
I have a bit of time, so I thought I would write about how Domino and I are doing, and what I have learned about him so far. He’s so good in the house, but he moves so quietly. He could get into a lot of mischief if he wanted to. Thankfully, most of the …
Anything But Boring: My Meeting With Domino
So, for the purposes of history, I’m posting a recording of my meeting with Domino. But I have to apologize for its quality. Without thinking, I recorded it while wearing my Aftershokz headphones which, while they’re pretty great, don’t record other voices in the room as well as the voice of the person wearing them. …

Anything But Boring: The Journey Home
So off we go. neerome! Wee! Can you tell I’m on the plane? Yup. Dom cruised through the airport with no trouble. Ok, he might have slurped a TSA agent but hey! He was petting, er, patting him down! We went through the metal detectors and only metal-covered Domino set them off. But when they …
