Wacky Random November Thoughts
I had some random thoughts, so figured I should heave them up here in no particular order. Although you’d never know it from today’s weather, which I want to see stay as long as possible, that bastard old man known as winter is going to show up and I’m not looking forward to it. When …
Puppy Truckin’!
Yea! Woo! Yea! Woo! Why am I jumping up and down? Remember back in march when I told you about GDB’s need for a new puppy truck? Well, they got it! Woohoo! Hopefully it makes many many happy trips to lots of puppy clubs. I wish I could have given more. But I’m glad they …
Am I Being Anal About Anal Glands?
Here we go, wandering into the things that only dog-owners don’t mind talking about, anal glands! trixie moved suddenly, does she understand JAWS? That was funny. Yesterday, I took Trix to the vet to get her nails trimmed, and I thought that maybe the sebaceous cyst I found had gotten a bit bigger. It was …
Trixie, How’d You Like One Of These?
Here’s a post I’ve been meaning to do for a few days. When I was doing my whole post about the change to CNIB, which according to some AEBC emails, involved some shady happenings, a lot of secrecy, and a vote that stunk of undemocraticness, whose result still hasn’t seen the online light of day, …
Holy Crap, Is TheWorld About To End?
Here’s a crazy story. I was walking along, and Trixie signaled to me that she needed to do some business. We’d been walking for some time, so it was completely understandable. I checked and there was an outer grass line she could use, but it seemed kind of narrow, but I figured she’d be ok. …
You Can’t Hide Your Lyin’ Eye Dogs
Here’s a message for everyone who thinks all guide dog schools are created equal. they’re not. I heard other rumblings about the Eye Dog school last year, so I thought they were officially dead. It’s sad to see the dogs being treated like this. this is why, if you want a guide dog, you have …

There have been a few things happening to me lately as I walk around that I thought were interesting enough to write down. Here they are, in somewhat random order. People have this very cute need to protect me. The other morning as I took Trixie down for her first of the morning business, I …
A realization
I had a funny thought strike me as I walked home tonight. Trixie and I were walking along and as we passed a group of dudes, one said, “What a beautiful girl.” I smiled and said, “yeah, she’s an awesome dog,” and kept going. a little while later, I thought, “Ya know, someone could hit …
Trixie speaks again!
I really didn’t have a lot to say for a while. Stuff wasn’t different than I’d said before. The guy with the weather knob finally stopped turning it so white stuff would fall from the sky. I was pretty happy about that. It was so easy to get distracted when the weather was good again. …
