I got some news a couple of weeks ago that, in normal times, would have been up on the blog immediately. But because now is now, I hadn’t posted it yet. After some logistical hurdles and technical difficulties, GDB received all my guide dog reapplication stuff, and it went to the committee, and I have […]

Why Is This Dog So lumpy?!
I have to explain the title. The Seppa-Tebby-Tebby nephew has this game that he likes to play where he gets into your chair and squishes himself really small at the back of the seat. Then you’re supposed to sit down on the chair, lean back and say “Why is this chair so lumpy?!” Then you […]
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 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, […]
Long Weekend Audio: What Made Me Choose A Guide Dog
Here comes another one. This one will be quick. Ceci asked me what made me decide to get a guide dog…so I started talking. I hope something in here makes some sense. Sometimes I feel like my thoughts are a bit disorganized and confusing. But I think my main points are walk with some guide […]
The Guide Dog Obstacle Course
Holy crap where is time going? It’s carnival time again. And I was an extra big loser and didn’t post the link to the October carnival when it came out. I’ll blame having a brand spankin’ new job for that little slip-up. Ah well, I’ll do better this time. The subject of this carnival is […]
What A Difference A Dog Makes!
Since I’ve been such a blog slacker this year, I missed the April assistance dog blog carnival. Plus I was kinda stressed out by something which I still need to write about. But anyway, the July one came up and I decided I was going to do my best to hit it. So I went […]
Weeping For Willow
Well, I’m still up. I took a wee unintentional nap. Now I’m just loading books on my Stream so I’ll have things to listen to during my travels home. But I wanted to make a quick note of something I found out today. I was sending notes out to friends wishing them a merry Christmas. […]
You Have, One, New Drug Deal In Your Mailbox
Here’s a tip. When calling your boss and leaving a voicemail, always check that you’ve hung up properly before continuing with your activities, especially if they involve making a drug deal. If you don’t, you may end up fired, just like Joseph Stankiewicz did. He claims that it’s not him on the recording, but a […]
Thoughts Knocking Around In My Head
I have more random thoughts. I must be in a thoughtful mood since I’m here all alone. Maybe it keeps me from talking to myself if I write on the blog. Na, I’d probably talk to myself anyway, and hey, if I’m talking, I could be talking to the Trixter. What I did find myself […]
