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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

Tour Of A Strange Dream

I have so many strange ideas for posts. I accumulate them and never get a chance to write them down…and then I barf small random posts because they’re the easiest to get done. So inevitably, I still leave the large, intimidating post ideas for who knows when. Here’s another small one. I mentioned dreaming about …

Why Does Dry Dog Food Have To Smell So Friggin Terrible?

I’m not really that much of a dog person, which is one of the reasons why I don’t do the guide dog thing. but that said, I love Carin’s dogs and have gotten along great with all of them. It’s like the way a lot of us love babies. They’re so cute and snugly and …
