What is with this climate? Now I know why they got fur for my fur. It’s c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cold up here! No wonder the trees fall apart and leave their leaves on the ground. Brrr! And now, the ground is covered in this white stuff. She keeps saying, “This is snow! This is snow!” I finally find …

Trixter’s In A Winter Wonderland
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve written about Trixie. Let’s fix that. I don’t think Trixie quite knows what to do with all this snow. The first time she saw it, it was slippery, and she tried to fly at her regular summer pace, and quickly realized that was not a safe plan. She …
There! Is! No! "they"!
Ah crap! I forgot one big thing in my last post. But I think it needs mentioning. I was sitting waiting for someone yesterday. I didn’t expect it to be that cold, so I didn’t put Trixie’s coat on her. I felt so bad, because the sensitive little Californian pooch was shivering and shaking. I …
Can I Pet Your Cute Puppy?
Ever since I’ve had Trixie, and have had to stop people from petting her, after they apologize, they tell me that I should get a sign for her that says “don’t pet me, I’m working”. I’ve never been a really big fan of the sign, as users who have used it haven’t had great success …
So We Have Dog Racists Now?
Man oh man. This makes me sad. People, when they’re thinking about adopting a dog, don’t take the black ones. Why? Because they’re always the bad dogs in movies, or they don’t stand out in pictures. Boo friggin hoo. If you mistreat your white dog, it will get bad. And I can’t count the number …
Trixie’s Evolving Brain
Sheesh! Just when I start to get the hang of when things are supposed to happen, things change and I don’t know why. Carin is getting up and doing everything an hour later. What a lazy bum! Is she trying to get some extra sleep? She says something about a time-change. Who does she think …
A Few Doggy Tidbits
I have been thinking about a couple of really weird things that people have said to me since I got Trixie that make me shake my head. This one was said to me way back when I first had her home, and I’ve been meaning to write it down and keep forgetting. There were a …
Why Is It…
Yes I’m stealing something from Steve, but I figured it was the only way this would work. I’ve had a lot of things make me wonder why, so here they are in no particular order. Why is it that the people in a lot of pet stores can’t even manage to have basic social skills? …
Toronto Adventures
Last Thursday, there was a free workshop at the CNIB in Toronto about human rights, disabilities and the workplace. I figured I’m sure there was something I could learn, so off I went. It was a pretty good trip, full of adventures, so I thought I’d write about them. Hope it won’t be too boring. …
If You’re Reading This, My Net’s Up!
There were a few things floating around in my head, and I thought maybe I should write them down before a monster starts to develop, so off we go. I finally figured out what that singing alphabet commercial was all about. It wasn’t an attempt at improving literacy. Why would I think such a thing? …
