Well…tomorrow I get on a plane. Yup, that long awaited March 24 is tomorrow. I’m getting a ride to the airport (thank you Steve’s mom) so that means 3 a.m. I’ll be leaving. Yee ha! Guess who’s not sleeping tonight? We’re definitely seeing signs that this pooch is going to come. I have hooks in …

Let’s Get Anka Back Home.
Update: Anka has been located and returned to her family. God I hope this never happens to me. This is all the info I have. One of Guide Dogs for the Blind’s Guide Dogs was lost on 3/7 in Garland, TX. “Anka” is a 5 year old, female Black Lab. She escaped from her yard …
Life, The Universe, CSUN, Trixie, Guide Dog Class, And Everything
Here I am again…much sooner than last time but still taking a long time between posts. CSUN was amazing. Damn I wish I could go every year. And I really didn’t get to see much of the exhibit hall since I was in so many sessions. It was weird basically having to make your own …

Dirty Rat…Poison
Here’s another scary one that I saw on a mailing list. If you use rat poison near or around your house, you might want to find out if its active ingredient is bromethalin. The reason being, there is no antidote and your pet could die a lot faster. The EPA made regulations against anticoagulants being …
Poor Pepper No Longer Has Pep
Here’s a small post that I really wanted to get up there. There’s more of the great beast of a post to go, but this one would be quick and easy. When I got Trix, mid-way through class, I got a sheet called “fun things about my puppy.” They read it to me, and it …
The Second Installment of Here’s Where I’ve Been For The Last Stretch Of Time
And, if you’re not bored yet, this thing keeps rollin’. Random observation: There are all of these either police cars or firetrucks that we always hear that have sirens like in Indiana Wants Me. What’s up with that? I’ve never heard so many sirens that sound like that…anywhere. They sound ancient. I’m afraid that anything …

Labradoodle Doo!
Wow. Where were the people from Minneapolis who saved the Stacey Champion puppy? We needed people like that in the post office where a person actually did mail a puppy. The puppy is still alive, but postal workers in Seattle where it was received allowed it to sit in a cardboard carrier for two days, …
Some Thoughts on Christmas Eve
Holy crap it’s Christmas Eve and I’m actually at my computer. That never happens…ever I don’t think. So I figured I’d write a big rambling something or other. It’s been a busy season of Christmas stuff, but it still feels like it somehow snuck up on us. We’ve already taken a trip back to Guelph …
Moving-Related Thoughts: So How Are We Anyway?
Holy crap I’m discovering I have a lot to say. Twice I set out to write *1* post about moving. Twice I’ve had to stooooop…so it didn’t overflow into miles and miles and miles and miles of writing. Hmmm. How far will I get in this post? So while all this is going on, Rogers …
