Mystery bot traffic from China floods websites, puzzling cybersecurity experts This has been happening to us on and off for months. Like the article says, it doesn’t seem to be malicious. None of our security systems has flagged anything, which I’m fairly certain would have happened by now were there anything to flag. It’s just …

So Long to Shmans And To One Of Her Old Buddies
Apparently, this is the newest Tansy favourite, so I had to put it up here. It sort of fits with some of her other ones. Sadly, that soundtrack is the last Tansy favourite song that we’re going to get, because she crossed over the rainbow bridge last month. It happened on March 14, but it …

A Quick Shmans Update
I just wanted to give a quick update on old Shmans. I got to see her in November, which was awesome. The friend who had taken Tansy for those few months before she moved to the home where she is now offered to go with me on a road trip so we could both see …
Chuuuuuuuck is Retiiiiiiiring!
If you don’t know what that title said, it was my best impression of my reaction to the news that Chuck is Retiring at the end of July. When I got the email that Chuck Farrugia, my field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind was retiring after 33 years of amazing service to all …
Cicadas, Domino, and You
I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …
Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!
In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …

Are Guide Dogs Pets? No!
I keep meaning to post this video because it’s cute, it’s well-done, both in the descriptive sense and the informational sense, and the kid almost sounds like I sounded like as a kid. At least I think so. Hopefully someone will find it handy.
Tansy’s Massive Playlist
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
Dominouch
I may need to think twice about watching wrestling when Domino is around, because it appears he’s mastering the art of the foreign object. He likes to come over while you’re sitting down and put his front paws up on you. This has evolved into a game with him and I where sometimes I’ll try …
Dominotes
I have a bit of time, so I thought I would write about how Domino and I are doing, and what I have learned about him so far. He’s so good in the house, but he moves so quietly. He could get into a lot of mischief if he wanted to. Thankfully, most of the …
