This list looks endless. Must…conquer…pile. How about some of her smaller quirks. God Tansy loves her kisses…sometimes to extremes. Steve jokes that he’s a big salt lick. Plus, sometimes when she gets going, it feels like she has a cat’s tongue. It gets all rough and sandpaper feeling. Sometimes it slaps her lips as it …

Tansy Updates, Great And Small, Part I
Um, hello there. It’s September. I haven’t written in a long time and it’s getting so all the beginnings of my posts look the same. But I’ve been compiling a lot of notes, to the point that even looking at the notes file makes me want to run away. Let’s start with the easy stuff, …
Trixie and Tansy Meet, And We Get Video
Hi. It’s me. You know, the one who never writes anymore? I have a metric boatload of ideas for posts. Who knows how many I’ll get through…but here goes. I’d said a while back that Trixie and Tansy had met, and the meeting wasn’t the most wonderful. Well, they’ve since had 2 more meetings, and …
Trix meets Tans!
So, Trixie and Tansy met for the first time last weekend. I thought it was going to be this weekend, but it turned out to be last weekend. Hmm…I’m not sure how to describe their meeting. Tansy was thrilled to death and was her party animal self. Trixie, on the other hand, kept changing her …
Tansy Updates Part 2
Holy crap have I accumulated a pile of thoughts. Here is Part 2 of my Tansy brain dump. In a couple of weeks, we’re going to a family thing, and Brad will be there with the Trixter. It will be the first Tansy meeting with the Trixter! But I wonder if this meeting will be …
New Guide Dog Journals Day 14
I’m exhausted but here goes. Got up and started packing. I was surprised at how well everything fit. I had a hard time eating, my stomach was doing acrobatics. Had our lecture on how grad was going to go and how our dogs will be pissed tomorrow due to lack of morning chow. Then it …
New Guide Dog Journals Day 7
Wow. Day 7 already. A few things: I think I might have heard the beginnings of a dream bark last night. Also, Tansy told me last night that she can hold it, and will communicate quite clearly when she has to go. I think they’re trying to fix the wifi. Yea. Also maintenance is going …
New Dog, Here We Come!
Well…tomorrow I get on a plane. Yup, that long awaited March 24 is tomorrow. I’m getting a ride to the airport (thank you Steve’s mom) so that means 3 a.m. I’ll be leaving. Yee ha! Guess who’s not sleeping tonight? We’re definitely seeing signs that this pooch is going to come. I have hooks in …
Life, The Universe, CSUN, Trixie, Guide Dog Class, And Everything
Here I am again…much sooner than last time but still taking a long time between posts. CSUN was amazing. Damn I wish I could go every year. And I really didn’t get to see much of the exhibit hall since I was in so many sessions. It was weird basically having to make your own …

Poor Pepper No Longer Has Pep
Here’s a small post that I really wanted to get up there. There’s more of the great beast of a post to go, but this one would be quick and easy. When I got Trix, mid-way through class, I got a sheet called “fun things about my puppy.” They read it to me, and it …
