Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I wrote about the service dog denial situation at Miltons restaurant not long after it happened, but hadn’t talked about it since. Boy oh boy, a lot sure has happened since. Charges were filed and later withdrawn, settlements were reached, apologies and donations were made. And now, for reasons that the owners won’t comment on …

This article about getting a guide dog does a pretty good job of describing the complexities in the matching process, the relationship between the dog and the handler, and lots of other stuff that people often ask us. And the best part is it’s written by someone I know! Shermeen is graduating with her new …
I got some sad news the other day. Sandy, Steve’s aunt’s dog, the Australian shepherd that has been in so many stories over the years, passed away. She was 14, so certainly lived a good long life, but it’s still sad. We first met Sandy when she chased Trixie around and around and around the …
Ever since I got my CPAP machine that I call Santa Claus, I’ve been having a lot more dreams. The rush of dreams is almost as pronounced as when we got our new mattress…which is nearing the end of its days, I think. At least some of these dreams are just amusing and they aren’t …
As I sit here in the middle of January of 2023, I guess I should try and reflect on 2022. I meant to do this on New Year’s Eve, but I just didn’t manage it. So since it seems I do everything late, here it is. The funny thing is I don’t know what to …

So, Tansy has had a busy four months since she retired and moved into her new home. She has had more time romping with dogs and people than she usually gets, which makes me happy. She became good doggy friends with the beagle at her new home who she had played with at the dog …
I know what Amazon is trying for here, but referencing “Fido”, “four legged customers” and paw print icons in your response to one of your workers being mauled to death by a couple of crazed dogs while delivering a package comes off juuuuuuuust a little insensitive, am I wrong? On Wednesday Vice published a message …
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, I kept hearing about tons of people adopting pets because they were feeling alone and isolated. I said to Steve, “How long until the surrenders start?” Aren’t I the optimistic sort? If we had stopped time when this piece was written, everybody could laugh at me and say …
As I get ready to write this post, I realize that for each guide dog retirement, I’ve needed to write one of these. Here’s the one for Babs, and here’s the one for Trixie. Now, amazingly, I have one for Tansy…and the things people are asking are all basically new. It’s incredible how each situation …
