Because I can’t stop doing these dog posts, and because people seem to like them, here’s another list of things that happen to me/things people say to me while Trixie and I are zooming around. 1. Someone actually said to me, “Wow! She knows what right and left mean? How cool is that?” Um, if …

>Clearing the Backblog
>Hope you folks like these random posts, because with all that time I didn’t write, I’ve created quite a, well, thought backblog. I’m sure I’ll be able to write something more focused soon. But until then, have a pile of thoughts. Remember back in another random post, I said I forgot something? Well, I remembered …
Hello? Is This Thing On?
Writing this, I wonder if anyone’s still reading. We both screwed off for a good long time. 15 days? eek. Have we ever done that before? I’m too lazy to scroll through the archive and check. But I think it’s pretty rare. So rare that Ann Adams, the sweet lady that she is, wondered if …
You Left Your Dog Where?
I cannot even remotely understand this story. Here’s a short summary. Guy, his wife and his guide dog go camping in a Wal-Mart parking lot (what the hell?).Guy ties his guide dog to a tree.guy and wife leave the next morning, each thinking the other had put the dog back in the camper (again, what …
It’s a Small World After All, Even Smaller After This Guy Does Some Target Practice.
Remember Carey McWilliams? Well, um, he’s a grad from GDB! Now there’s someone I don’t want to piss off at an alumni convention. He might shoot me!
Strange Dreams are Made of Trixie.
You can tell I spend a lot of time thinking about Trixie. Why? She’s in my dreams! She’s in a lot of my dreams in very ordinary ways, but there were two that were especially weird. I had one dream that it was one of those times that Steve and I were off to visit …
Bits of Trixie goodness I forgot about.
I knew I was forgetting some things about Trixie that I wanted to say. So here are the things I forgot. I have now discovered she likes squirrels. They tempt her whenever we walk through the university campus. Always something new. When we’re playing, sometimes she pins my head down and sniffs my ear. I …
More Trixie goodness!
I think it’s time for an update on the Trixter, along with some things I’ve noticed because of her. Because of her, I end up spending considerably more time loitering around the outside of the apartment building. I’m not really loitering, I’m waiting for her to do her duty. But anyway, it means more time …
Dear Little Children in Our Building:
I used to like listening to you laugh and shriek and scream. I used to think it was pretty cool that you all had a place to play right outside your door. Now, the sound of your voices fills me with dread. Why? Because when I take Trixie to do her business, you won’t leave …
Trixie’s Brain
So this is home now? Ok. I miss my yellow lab friend, but since there are no dogs around, I guess this guy will have to do. He’s interesting. Sometimes, I sit near his chair and watch wrestling with him. He sure doesn’t like it when I try to get up close and personal. Why …
