So, I mentioned that I would be having my Chuck follow-up during that giant Trixie post on Saturday. Yesterday, we had it. It was a quick one, and probably not my best follow-up, but Chuck seemed reasonably comfortable with it. It was so damn hot that I was glad we probably wouldn’t be walking far. …

Yet Another Guide Dog Attack
Every time I read about another guide dog attack, I shiver, and am thankful I have not had to deal with an attack that ended Trix’s career or caused injuries that required veterinary care. What is with people walking dogs that they can’t control, or walking too many of them. If you can’t handle two …
Trixie Gets A Novel
I don’t think Trix has gotten a post all to herself in a while. I think she’s due. I always knew that she responded to different people in different ways, but I’ve noticed something else. Among the people she loves, even they get different kinds of affection. There’s me. I get the dancing around me, …
This Could Even Hurt Dogs’ Ears
After hearing Mamma Will Bark by Frank Sinatra, I feel like my brains got shaken up like a milkshake. I showed this to Steve, and he said he had never heard this horrible song, and we needed more information on this attrocity. There’s his answer. Ug. That’s just gross. It’s like the worst version of …
A Toe Is Not A Dog Treat
So, here’s a lesson, courtesy of Jerry Douthett. If you notice that your toe is swelling, so much so that you can’t wear shoes, and it smells, go to the fucking hospital, would ya? Don’t wait, because if you do, your dog may do an in-home amputation for you. This case is pretty much like …
Chicken’s Gone, And So’s The Dog
Hey Matthew Ray Bramblett. Here’s a novel idea for you. If you’re going to own a dog, you have to train the dog and be responsible. You don’t leave food for the dog to get his paws on, and you don’t feed him people food. But, since a dog is another living being, he has …
August Long Weekend Audio
Boy oh boy do I have a monstrosity for you! Remember how we said our Canada Day audio would never be heard by the world? Well, that still holds, so we decided to try again. And we created something even longer and crazier than that one! We didn’t mean to, honest. We just sat down …
Who Knew Laundry And Accessibility Could Meet?
Here I go again, stirring up trouble. Ok, a little background. Our apartment building has laundry machines that don’t take coins. They take a card that you fill with your debit card. When it’s filled, it’s easy. Stick card in machine, wait a few seconds, hit desired button, woosha woosha woosha go your clothes. No …

Service Animal Has Been Defined
A while back I mentioned that the US Department of Justice was updating its definition of service animal. Well, after lots of deliberation and consideration, they have settled on a definition. I saw this a couple of days ago, but Jill sent it to me again, and nudged me into blogging about it. Sorry that …
Observations From The Train
We took a train yesterday to meet some of Steve’s family at a spot half-way between us and them. We got to the station really early, partly because we took the bus there and buses only run every half-hour, and partly because the train got delayed. Here were some of the things we saw or …
