Trixie-Related Ramblings

Here comes some more Trixie-related stuff. I don’t know if this post is quite long enough for R to sit back and put her feet up and read, but it’s longer than that other wee one I wrote. There are two things Trixie does right now that are mildly annoying. Hopefully I can get one …

Some Trixie Questions Answered

I had a couple itcy bitcy Trixie updates that I thought I’d throw in a post. Since our neighbours moved into the place where Mylo used to live, I was worried that the place would still smell like Mylo and Trixie would refuse to go in. Nope. I went there last night, and Trix came …

Thoughts of All Shapes And Sizes

I wanted to write a blog post about random things, but I’m not as cool as R. She can create something out of absolutely nothing and make it look so easy…and hilarious. Me, I need a list. Then I can go nuts. You know in those commercials for osteoporosis drugs where they say that rarely, …

Here Boy. Watch Your…Oops

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this specifically before. If I have, it needs mentioning again. If you see a handler and guide dog standing at the top of steps, for the love of Pete, no matter how strong the urge is, do not, under any circumstances, urge the dog down the steps! Got it? …

Large Babble-Fest Comin’ Your Way

It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about whatever I wanted without a singular focus, and the mood struck me to do it, so here I am. Mother Nature is a miserly old witch this year. She gave us a short summer, and then, right on schedule, brought the fall! There is something in …

Some Thought Dribbles

Here are a few things I’ve been thinking about. I thought about putting some of them in my last monster thoughts post, but it was starting to take on a life of its own, so I figured I’d best save them for another time. My friend told me a story about something they saw while …

>Looking Out for Your Guide Dog After You Die

>Somebody asked a good question on a list I’m on. It was originally phrased as “can you specify in your will who gets your guide dog if heaven forbid, you die suddenly?” This was quickly answered, and it was said that whether or not you have signed over ownership of the pooch, it’s your wishes …
