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 …

An Update On Carin And Steve
Well hello there. Here’s what may or may not turn out to be a quick update on us for the benefit of the chunk of our readers who care about such things. Carin is still in the hospital. It’s been a week now, which is way too long when you consider that she was supposed …
The Freedom I Find In A Guide Dog
I’m going to try and get into 2 carnivals in a row. Holy crap! So, the topic of this carnival is freedom. Funnily enough, for me, I had a bit of a harder time coming up with something. I blame being busy and tired. But after thinking for a while, I think I settled on …
Tansy’s Life Lesson
The other day, I was thinking about how Trixie modeled never giving up. I wondered what lesson Tansy could teach me, besides give everything you do everything you’ve got until you have nothing left, at which point, you just recharge and do it again. I don’t know if I could do that over and over …
Another Sibling Officially Married Off
I should write about this before it gets too crazy late. My brother got married a couple of weeks ago. Well, this was the big affair that they had been planning out anyway. They technically got married in City Hall back in 2012, but since you can’t invite everybody you’d want at your wedding to …
Late Happy Birthday Trix Wishes

It’s Our First Tansiversary!
Har har that was corny. It’s April 6, a day that became special last year. Why? Because it’s Tans and my graduation day. On that day, we officially became a team, and the next day, we came home together. So, Tans has officially lived through a year of my crazy life…and still appears to be …
Tans’s Dog Day Anniversary Was Yesterday
I don’t have much time to write this, but I figured I would try. Yesterday marks the anniversary of when I got Tansy. Can anyone else believe that’s possible? The only way I know for sure is that dates don’t lie. She came into my room in her maniacal fashion, and I pretty much fell …
The Wrong Type Of Hackathon
Tans has been a very healthy dog. We haven’t had one ear infection yet. I took her to the vet once because she developed hives…I’m wondering if it was an allergy to bug bites or some plants or something. Once I took her to the vet because she started hacking, and puked up a couple …
Tansy Observations, The Winter Edition
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 …
