When I went to Tansy’s puppy raisers’ place the last time, they sent me home with this big bottle of soap that she said was supposed to be really amazing for dogs and people alike. I got the feeling it was supposed to work miracles on whatever it touched. All I knew was it was […]

Reminiscing About Tansy’s Second Trip To Her Raisers
As always, after I’ve taken a trip, I take forever to blog about it. This one was almost a year and a half ago. But I felt like writing it down because if this garbage Coronavirus hadn’t come along, I would have likely been back there this week. Back in March of 2019, when life […]
How We Are
lyrics are here. I figured now would be a good time to say how we’re doing. I know that soundtrack is a little dark, and it’s darker than it needs to be, but it’s been going through my head, in the sense that when something sudden and life-changing happens, your priorities completely shift. It feels […]
Tansy’s Retirement Is Looming
The ID card the Ontario Attorney General made for us has come apart. It looks like a mess now. Nobody would believe that was a real ID card. I never managed to get it re-laminated in time. Now I’m not sure if someone could. Also, her harness got two frayed spots on it. We got […]
It’s a Shmandeluge!
I figured I’d just sprinkle her newest musical selections through the post. It has been so long since I’ve written a big random post about Tansy. I mean I wrote about her lump removal, but there is so much more to say. It has been a year since I’ve done a Shmans deluge. Of course […]
How The Vomit Comet People Are Responding To COVID-19
Sorry…Too many emails… Lyrics here if you need them. So how are we doing? So far, we’re doing ok. I’m working from home, we’ve been told we’re working from home until at least May, being kept very busy because when everybody *has* to do their courses on line, problems come up that haven’t been dealt […]
Tansy Lump News
I feel like a bit of a jerk for not giving everyone an update sooner. I got the update two weeks ago about Tansy’s lumps, but haven’t really had a chance to write it all down. So here it goes. It’s all good news! All the lumps came back as benign. The one on her […]
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 […]
Six Months Of Shmans
Tansy has been very much neglected up here, but I have once again amassed quite the list of updates, observations and acknowledgements of time. Back in October, Tansy got out her barf bingo dabber and checked off that month. I think the little rip stole some dropped food at a social event at work, but […]
Keeping You In The Shmanda-Loop
You’re probably wondering what the heck’s a Shmandaloop. Well, it’s another nickname for Tansy. Steve came up with it one time when I was booking a Via Rail ticket. They always ask me what the name of the dog is, and in the background, Steve was petting her and said “Shmandaloop. S h m, a […]
