You never know what will start a cascade of thoughts. It can be as simple as something I saw in our tracker. Something like this: 16 Jan, Sat, 04:19:33Google:dog wearing gloves Gloves? Like boots? Did they mean boots? I guess boots kind of look like mitts, mitts with soles on them. But do they really …

When On The Range, It’s Good To Know Where Home Is
Derrick Thomas Alger needs to cut back on the booze just a touch. I have a feeling, if he wasn’t drunk, he wouldn’t be wandering around in shorts and a cowboy hat and boots threatening cabbies with guns, coming into the wrong house, and then threatening to kill the family’s dog…and then asking who the …

A Cadillac On A Mission
This is a pretty cool story. Cadillac was a GDB puppy, but they decided that he just wouldn’t make it as a guide dog. So he became a search and rescue dog, and now he’s headed for Haiti to put his rescue skills to definite use. Good luck to him and his handler. Years ago, …
This Makes Me Angry Beyond Words
This story of 10 and 12-year-old boys arrested in a dogfighting case is disturbing enough. But what makes me the most angry is the mother’s attitude about the whole thing. The boys’ mother told the deputy they needed to go to jail. “I’m sick of them two stealing dogs, bikes and having all the neighborhood …
Guilt Marches On?
The other day, I was complaining to Steve that I haven’t had any good dreams to blog about in a while. Well, I got a whole wack of them, and the weird thing is if the message of the dreams is what I think it is, I can only believe that part of my own …

Ha ha, I have the keyboard. I have the keyboard I have the keyboard. Hmmm I wonder if I can get this done in time for kibble. It’s almost time to eat that yummy kibble kibble kibble stuff. Speaking of kibble, I’ve noticed I get a bit less kibble than I used to. Carin said …
Trixie Observations
I haven’t done a little post all about Trixie in a while. Here are a few things I’ve noticed over the past few months that I thought needed mentioning. The shoe thief, who Trixie thinks is all different kinds of awesome, is a big fan of A Boat like Gideon Brown by Great big Sea. …
The Long-Awaited, Long Holiday Post
I always write a post about the holidays. It’s just a matter of when. I’m crazy, and want to get through the easy stuff first before I sit down and crank out a giant epic. But it seems writing the holiday epic has become the thing I’ve done since Steve and Matt let me come …
I’m Running Out Of Names For These Thought Posts
Here comes another thought splatter. Enjoy. Silly Trixie has a new morning habit. She usually sleeps out in her bed in the living room. I have no idea why. But at some point in the night, she gets up and comes to the bed by me. But she used to just come in and lay …

Bye-Bye Big Lu
Well, I can officially say it now. Luther is gone. I was afraid his time was sooner rather than later, but it’s never easy when it happens. As I’ve said before, Luther was the first guide dog I saw a lot of. He was always so chilled, but so unbelievably dedicated. But man he could …
