It’s been a while since I’ve written Tansy updates, so here’s a bunch. As I was combing the blog to make sure I hadn’t already written some of these things, I laughed at the following passage: “So Tansy’s first winter has arrived, and we’ve had a few challenges, but nothing like what Trix and I …

Mutt Muffs: For Dogs In Loud Places
Steve already wrote his summary of the Barenaked Ladies concert, and mine is pretty much the same. It was weird seeing them now, and knowing I saw them 7 years ago when they still included Steven Page, and yup, for the most part, they pulled it off…except for the part where your mind just begs …
Go Visit The Carnival
I wanted to put this up Wednesday, but didn’t get the chance. the carnival is up. It was a small one, but I’m sure there’s some other interesting reading in there. I might actually manage to get around to everybody because it’s not a honkin’ pile of posts to read, haha!
Carnival Post: A Rare And Unique Opportunity
I haven’t participated in the assistance dog blog carnival in…ohmygod…2 years? ish? But L-Squared caught my attention, just in the nick of time. When I looked at the theme, I thought something I was thinking of writing anyway would fit happily into that theme, so here goes. Wow, I made it into the carnival! Who …

New Favourite Treats of Trix and Tans
I thought I’d mention a couple of things that really make Tansy leap for joy. The first is anything that comes from a website called www.biopaw.com. They sell all kinds of natural dog treats, but the thing that makes her go most nuts of all are things called Bullwrinkles! Brad got Trix interested in them, …
Scary Dog Nicknames
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend I’ve started with at least Trixie and Tansy. I don’t think I had Babs long enough for her to be part of it. I have given them nicknames that are, or sound close to, nasty diseases! One day, Trixie was being extra sniffy. We were on a bus and she …
Tansy’s First Christmas and Other Things
So…we made it through Christmas. Today was a day of *flop*. I don’t know why this Christmas was so exhausting, but wow. I must be getting old. I’m posting these pictures of Tansy with Santa for two reasons: first, so they can be up for all to see, and second, pleasepleaseplease tell me I fixed …
Merry…Christmas?
So um, guys? Where did 2013 go? Who ate it? It feels like we’re just getting warmed up, but here we are, getting ready for Christmas. Exactly how did that happen? I started writing this yesterday when we were in the middle of one hell of an ice storm, in which the cops are telling …
Tansy Does Not Do Cold Well…
When Trix’s first winter came, she hated the cold, especially when it snowed. But I think Tansy hates it more. As soon as the temperature started dropping, I noticed Tansy sleeping a whole lot more. It’s almost like she goes into mini hybernation. The poor thing, just when she’s adjusted to one temperature, it drops …
A Dog That Loves Bath Time?
Today, Tansy got her second bath she’s gotten while she’s been with me. Man, is she ever easier to bathe than Trix. She hates getting in, and will fight tooth and nail to stay out of there, but once she’s in, she’s good as gold. I still appreciated having Steve there to keep the curtain …
