I saw this in the comments under my post about the no longer guide dogs still guiding, and felt it needed answering up here, because it makes some good points, and I think they need to be heard. I’m going to throw my comments within her comment. Hi Carin In response to the issues about …

A Long-Overdue Trixie Post
Man it’s been a long time since I wrote anything about the Trixter. Let me look back and see when I last wrote about her. Oh god! I mentioned her in passing last week, but it’s been almost a month since she got a full post! Good lord! The sad thing is some of these …
More ADA Guide Dog Goodness!
Oh boy. First I was mad because regular folk could pretend their pets were service animals, and now I find out we’re getting screwed over by blind people too! Are you confused? I was at first. This is how it went. A couple got guide dogs from Leader dogs, another guide dog school. They were …
Don’t Wizz On The Central Air Vents!
Every time I think about this search result, I giggle, then gag. Does that mean I gaggle? Har. 02 Sep, Sun, 20:51:24 Google: If dog urinates on the outside central air conditioning unit is it possible the strong smell,feel of urine can go through the whole house? I don’t have an answer, but in response to your …
It’s My Service Chihuahua! Really!
Ok, this pisses me off. In the states, the ADA has made it really easy for douchebags to bring their precious little pet fido wherever they please, and more and more douchebags are doing just that. Why has it made it easy? The law states that a merchant cannot under any circumstances ask what tasks …
Attention All Dog Toys! Quiver in Fear Before Your Destroyer!
In these short four months I have had Trixie home, I’ve discovered she is a toy-murderer. If something has the slightest bit of give, she will find it and exploit it. Remember that knotted rope? Well, she reduced it to a pile of yarn. At first, she only undid the knot at one end, so …

Don’t Take the Wag Out Of My Dog!
Ug. today had a very scary start. I got up to let Trixter off tie-down, and she was already standing! I thought this was slightly odd, but I was a little late. I let her off, and suddenly she was yelping, lurching, yelping, falling, yelping, screeching, and on it went! Then she just sat there …
Find the Idiot. Good Boy!
Every time I read this story, it gets funnier. It all starts when a group of 3 not so smart Georgia criminals think the abandoned nursing home would be a fine place to steal some copper wire. So off they go, not realizing that it is neither a nursing home nor abandoned anymore. They should …
Another Look Into Trixie’s Brain.
I think I’ve finally figured out why those trainers spent all that time teaching me to go around stuff. It’s because I’m with someone who really can’t see stuff! She’s not pretending. She really can’t! Even when I’m not wearing that harness thingy, if we’re out so I can do my business, I try to …
How Much Is That Doggy In The Window…Per Month?
When I was a kid, and we whined about wanting a puppy, mom said if we really wanted a puppy, we had to be in it for the long hall. We had to realize that getting a dog is a commitment, and it wasn’t just a passing phase. Apparently, there’s a company wanting to make …
