Poor Shmans is overdue for an update, so here goes. Believe it or not, Tansy is 10 years old. She turned 10 last month. Also, I just learned this year that she shares her birthday with Clint Eastwood! I find that kind of amusing, because I had a coworker who used to call the Shmans …

A Playlist Just For Shmans
Steve told me that Spotify can make playlists for your pets with some information from you, and I had to try it out and see if any of Shmans’s favourite songs would show up on her list. They didn’t, but the playlist sounds like something that might be found on an easy listening station and …
Another Large Entry in the Shmans Chronicles
It’s time for another Shmans update, complete with new songs she likes sprinkled throughout. I’ve accumulated a surprising amount of stuff even though we haven’t been exactly leading an exciting life. She is definitely enjoying all this chill time. Now that we’re not going out nearly as much as we used to, she is enjoying …

Another Step In The Shmans Retirement Journey
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 …

It’s God Soap!
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 …
