Remember how I talked about how I get asked a lot if Trixie is fully trained? This usually happens after an embarrassing incident. Well, here’s a new twist on it. I’ve now heard that puppy raisers get asked when they’re walking through places with the puppy they’re raising if they’re blind! Now that one is …

Guide Blogs For The Blind
Har har. Aren’t I funny? Probably not. Oh well. First, GDB went and got a podcast. Now, they have a blog! It’s called “no bones about it”, oh har har har har, and I think it will end up being pretty cool. I had to kind of get mad at them about the first post …
Colour Me Shocked
I’m not quite as surprised as I would be if this happened anywhere else since Japan’s drug laws are the way they are, but I still didn’t expect things to turn out this way. The air passenger who got the unexpected gift of 142 grams of pot from Japanese customs has found and returned it. …
That For Better Or Worse Part Is About to Get Tested
As I read this story, I can feel my shoulders slumping. At a wedding, the newlyweds’ dog got in a fight with another guy’s dog, the other guy started yelling at the couple, went and got a gun and shot them and 2 other people in the wedding party. The happy couple is now in …

What’s That, Lassie? Timmie Fell Down The Well?
I’ve always wondered if it’s possible to figure out what Trix is thinking. Now, apparently there is something that can analyze barks. Israeli prisons are using it to interpret their guard dogs’ barks. But what I find more disturbing than the fact that they’ve invested all this money in technology that analyzes sample barks which …

Last year, I noticed it, but some people told me once she was more bonded to me, she would feel less afraid. Well, nope. It’s weird. People started …
Look! Another Trixie Post!
I figured it was about time for another Trixie update. Every single time I do one of these, I feel like I’m forgetting stuff. Oh well, it just means more material for later. Remember when I mentioned how she like to stretch out on her belly with her legs as far behind her as possible? …
How Much Is ThatDoggy Through The Windshield?
Doesn’t everybody know that you shouldn’t drive a car with Sparky the chihuahua on your lap? Doesn’t everybody realize that that could lead to an accident if Sparky moves unexpectedly and causes you to strike the gas or brake, or jumps down and hits it himself? But when a bill was proposed to ban the …

Dog First-Aid Course
I figured I’d post this here to spread the word any way I can. Remember back in that Trixie post where a dog came at us out of nowhere? That really scared the hell out of me. I thought about how isolated it is on that little stretch. I wondered what I would do if …
