I read about this a little while ago, and had a few thoughts about it. Amit Patel is a fellow who has recently gone blind, and he encounters a lot of jerks in his travels. So, he decided to attach a GoPro to his guide dog Kika and capture video evidence of said jerks. Unless …

A Giant Shmans Update
Tans is pretty long overdue for an update, so off we go. Back in June, we had our follow-up, and for the first time, it wasn’t with Chuck. Because his coverage area is so huge, he’s started sending people to do follow-ups, unless I guess the person has a huge problem or he’s in the …
Rogers Centre Fan Assist: This Fan Thanks You For Your Assistance.
A few weeks ago, Steve and I went to another Blue Jays game, one of the last games of the season. That was a fun game to watch. But the reason I’m writing about it is because we learned about a service offered by the Rogers Centre that’s pretty cool, and I wish it was …

An Update From The Land Of Brad And Trix
I’m so glad Brad did this update, complete with pictures. Now we can catch up on the life of Trix, which is still pretty good. Take it away, Brad. Rumour has it that it’s been quite some time since we last heard how good Ole Trixie is doing. Well my hound-loving blog readers, we’re about …
“Is Your Dog Friendly?” “Are You Friendly?”
I have often been asked if someone could pet my dog. I’ve never been asked if my dog could play with theirs, but I can imagine it happening. Even if I had, I would have never dreamed that if I said no, the response would consist of a volley of rocks fired at my dog. …

Aww What An Adorable Wheelchair!
I saw this video, laughed, and then thought it made a great point. Now, doesn’t that look ridiculous? And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all those things happen, if not directly to me, then to someone else I know who has a service dog. It adds another dimension to the no petting the dog rule. …
The Tanser Bear Birthday Bash!
It’s almost Tansy’s birthday. The beast turns 5 on Tuesday. Can you believe it? I can’t, and I know it to be a fact. Since I have missed all the other anniversaries this year, it’s time to have a giant Shmans chatter fest. Goddamnit, her life needs to be documented too, even if it has …
A Beastly Post
Brad sent this in. I’m so glad he did. I can’t really tell Trixie stories because I don’t see her every day. It’s so nice to have a few more, and this one has pics! Woo! So in honour of Trix’s recently-passed 11th birthday, here’s Brad. Oh, and here’s the post about the nail disaster. …
Loving This Story About Loving Lani
Someone shared this sweet post about someone’s guide dog whose career ended way too soon, and it gave me a little scare. LaniJo, that crazy dog, sounds a lot like the Shmans, who is snoring here beside me. I would have to ask Steve, does she sound a little crazier than Shmans, even? But the …
Don’t Pull The…
Now and then one of you will get in touch to pass along the story of somebody getting shot by his own dog thinking, quite reasonably, that I must have missed it and that’s why something so wacky isn’t up here yet. But the truth is that believe it or not, careless hunters, drunks, idiots …
