Soundtrack time. Yup, it’s Canada Day. Where is this year going? I hope people are finding fun things to do somewhere, just enjoying the day off. I’m probably going to be spending some time outside if the weather decides to be good. I’m just glad to be doing what I want to do. Not a …

Barking About BarkBox
At the beginning of this month, I got a Groupon for something called BarkBox.com. Basically, you pay a subscription fee and they send you treats and toys appropriate for your dog’s size every month. Groupon offered a discounted rate for the first 3 months, so I thought I’d give it a try. Sometimes it’s hard …
Pasta-Way
I meant to do this last week, but work has a way of sapping my brain of words and thoughts. A long time ago, I mentioned a dog named Pasta. Wow, that was almost 7 years ago, and it’s really funny to read all that stuff. Anyway, I got the sad news last week that …
A Public Apology To Trixie
Soundtrack time. So I guess there’s another Assistance Dog Blog Carnival coming up, and the deadline is tomorrow. I haven’t written in one of these since before my gallbladder surgery, woe. But the topic caught my attention, so here we go. The topic of this one is regrets. I had to think really hard, since …
Believe It Or Not, Tansy Is Four Years Old.
I can hardly believe it, but Tansy, affectionately nicknamed “the bear”, turned 4 today. She’s 4. Woe. I would like time to slow down, please. She’s still doing awesome, and I think we managed to knock off all the extra unwanted hound pounds. She looks good, and seems perfectly healthy. I don’t think I have …

Happy Many Dog Anniversaries
This time of year marks a lot of significant guide dog anniversaries. April 6 was the day Tansy and I graduated as a team, and April 7 was the day we came home. This means Tansy has lived with us for 2 years now. April 9 is Trixie’s birthday, and this year she turned 10. …
Homemade Pill Pockets: For When Your Dog Is A Pill About Taking Pills
I got a recipe for making homemade pill pockets. I figured I’ll put this up. It might help me later on when I get a dog who doesn’t hoover up everything in her bowl, meds included. Maybe it might help Brad out with Trixeroo if she needs meds, since she was very talented at avoiding …

Two Years with the Shmansington Bear
I’m a few days late on this, but oh well. Wednesday was the two-year anniversary of when Tansy exuberantly entered my life. I can hardly believe it. Two years. I looked at what I was up to 2 years ago today. It looks like Tansy hadn’t worn her boots for me for the first time …
Trix Pics
Woo! Trix pictures! Woo! I’ve had these pictures for months, and have meant to put them up. But the process of putting them up, for me at least, is a bit laborious, and as I’ve said repeatedly, laborious processes and the captain don’t mix too well. Then I headed back to work and got busy, …
Let’s Eat
Gill is back, and she’s talking about food. She’s also making me want pizza and cupcakes. I’ve always liked Topper’s. It’s definitely on the better end of the takeout/delivery scale. Carin, Brad, Trixie and I ordered from there back on New Year’s Eve. Yes, Trixie. the little shit helped herself to a slice of the …
