One thing I neglected to talk about in the latest holiday wrap-up was the fact that Tansy inherited a couple of gifts I gave to Trix that she didn’t care for. She got the neat-looking squeaky duck, andthe much-sought-after Skineeez raccoon that Tans stole from Trix over and over again. Today was kind of a …

Trixie’s Terrifying-Sounding Nail Disorder
There is one Trixie-related topic that I didn’t throw in the avalanche of stuff in the last post. Years ago when I still had Trix, when I changed vets to the one she liked, the vet noticed that her nails were weird and would split easily. One time when she was cutting her nails, she …

Doggy Hodgepodge
I figure I have some time, so why not write about Tans and Trix. Plus, it’s an excuse to put up this photo of Tansy with Santa. I also sent it to her puppy raisers and they seemed to like it. It was quite an adventure to get to this one pet store that was …
The Mystery of Tans’s Dermatitis
Something I mentioned in this huge mass of Tans updates was some dermatitis and some discomfort when I was grooming her. Well, I have an update on that, and since I like capturing this stuff, here we go. After I noticed the dermatitis, I noticed that she seemed suuuuper tired. It was unreal. She’d come …
Imagine Riding A Bus With A Moose…
I finally know what this video is about. Description: This is a Norwegian video that shows all sorts of animals with a harness, such as a burrow, a duck, a yak or an ox, a moose/elk, ostrich, etc. They all have a person with them as though the person shown next to them is using …
Get A Handle On Your Dog’s Health

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a device that allows people who are blind to monitor their guide dogs, …
Massive Tansy update comin’ in.
I looked at the Tansy category, realizing that I haven’t written about her in a while, and my! Last time I mentioned her was Canada Day. Then again, I haven’t been much for posting these last few months. I’ve had lots of ideas, but never enough time to get them all down. So I figured …
Guide Dog Guide
I wasn’t going to post this, but it won’t leave my head, so up it goes. I guess it was a part of a fund-raising effort in Australia…at least I’m assuming it’s in Australia. Some folks wrote a song about guide dogs being canine superheroes and put it up on iTunes and Amazon and such. …
Welcome To KW, Uber
Unless something suddenly changes in the next few minutes, at 2 this afternoon Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Hamilton and London will officially have Uber. Predictably because this seems to happen everywhere it goes, its arrival has local taxi people and some politicians all upset. I get that part of the issue is safety and that is …
Another Carnival Is Live
Well, it looks like the carnival is up. There are some interesting entries. I think it’s fascinating that a lot of us said the same thing, that we consider a lot of our mistakes just that, mistakes, or lessons, but not regrets. Go check it out when you’re not enjoying Canada Day stuff.
