I had a few thoughts about Trix, so thought I’d write them down so when I do write about her, it’s not a giant monster of doom. I talked about being worried about the number of times Trix has needed her anal glands expressed. Well, a few days after that, the foot-chewing increased again. It …

I Have A Brother-In-Law!
It’s Monday, and I’m still feeling kinda dopy and tired. I guess that’s to be expected after the crazy Saturday Steve and I had. Don’t worry, it was a good crazy! My sister got married! Yup, eek. I now have a brother-in-law. He’s a cool guy. They’ve been together a while, he’s been a friend …
The Teddy Bear Picnic Was A Blast
Back last Friday, I mentioned the Teddy Bear Picnic. Well, yesterday, it happened, and it was a lot of fun. We had lots of fun. We had bears wearing little glasses, bears with little white canes, lots of stuff. We had a model of a communication board for kids who have trouble speaking, we had …
Yummy Woman And The Three Bears
Does Patricia Torres want to end up like Donna Munson and Kelly Ann Walz? Does she? She will, if she keeps up this recreational feeding of wildlife bullshit. She feeds squirrels, birds and deer, and I guess a bear thought the stuff she was leaving out was mmm mmm good too. Then it choked on …
Rare And Awesome Guide Dog Moments
Yesterday was quite the day of rare happenings. First, I was able to explain to not one, but two different people the concept of why you shouldn’t pet a working dog, and they got it! They really got it! Second, a little tiny kid looked at me and quietly asked, “Can I…please…pet…your dog?” With a …
Another Chuck Visit Down
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 …
