I’m terribly behind on Tansy updates. It’s bad. How can I go for 6 months without writing a Tansy post? Oh, well, I did have the captain chasing me around for 4 of those months. Well, I guess it’s time to catch up now. This might take a couple of posts. Tansy has inherited some …

2014: Goodbye And Good Riddance
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
The Self-Stealing Car
A couple of nights ago, I had a really weird dream. At first I didn’t think it was weird enough to post, but it drifts through my mind a lot, so hey, maybe it needs a place. It appears to be set in the time when I was in high school and I’m living at …
Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone. Somehow, despite my battles with the captain, I still managed to get my Christmas shopping done, although it was a little closer to the wire than I would have liked…and the …
Epic Tansy Post Part 2
That last Tansy post was huuuge. This one has a bunch of stuff, but won’t be quite as massive. Back years ago, I wanted to find Babs’s old whistle to use as a recall aid. Well, I found it this year, and was starting to use it with Tansy. All I was doing was associating …
Epic Tansy Update Part 1
Oh my, it’s been a while since I’ve done a straight up Tansy update. It’s almost daunting to look at the list of things I’ve written down..and some of them may not even be important anymore. I’ll try and cobble something together. I feel bad for the Tanseroo, I haven’t been as good at documenting …
Service Dog Teams and Ambulances
I got this on a mailing list. It’s a video for paramedics about helping service dog teams when an ambulance is called, and I thought it was kinda neat. I learned a few things too, like I didn’t even know about those open grating things and how they can cut paws. Tansy was one lucky …
Lost Dogs In Dreamland
A while back, I had another nightmare about losing Trixie. Brad’s had her for over a year and a half and I still dream about losing her. In this one, Brad was gone away somewhere for a few days, and Steve and I said we’d take care of Trix. We took her with us to …
Tansy is now 3.
Yeah, I should be in bed…gotta be at work in the morning. But I have to say quickly that Tansy turned 3 on Saturday. The pooch is growing up. She’s been through a lot, including 8 days without me…which she took like a champ. Since I should be crashing, I guess I’ll just quickly say …
My Gall Darn Gallbladder!
You know how the song goes? “What day is it, and in what month? This clock never seemed so alive.” That’s kind of how I feel about May. I would really like some of it back if I could so I could not spend it in hospital. Yes, hospital. Steve mentioned he was running to …
