Holy crap, it’s 2018. I feel like these holidays snuck up on us, then jumped on us, and now I’m still in disbelief that they’re over. In a small sense, they’re not quite over because I haven’t seen the nephews on my side of the family and we might see them this weekend, but everything …

And Trix Adds Another Data Point
You know what’s funny? For years, I commented on Trixie’s grey hair and worried about her being stressed. People laughed and said stress and grey hair in dogs aren’t related. They may have been wrong. It appears that dogs who show anxiety around strange people and situations or have a fear of loud noises, among …
Updates On the Two Black Beasts
I have some time, so I figured I should write about the two black beasts I know so the post doesn’t grow into a monster. Tansy went to the vet for her annual checkup a month or so ago, and they said she looked great. They did comment that she does have a tiny bit …
Something For The Tans Fans
I’ve been very slow in writing about Tansy, which is a shame. She turned 6 back in May and I didn’t write a thing. So now that it’s been 3 months since my last deluge, have another one. Finding the perfect amount of food for her has been a challenge. I switched to duck back …
It’s Tans And Trix Talk Time!
I am so overdue on doggy talk, and we just marched through that time of the year where there is a cluster of dog anniversaries for both Trix and Tans, so it’s a good time to talk about both beasts. Well, I guess I can officially stop worrying about Tans pulling a LaniJo. She has …
Dog Poop Will Turn Your Roomba Into A Ruindba!
There’s a story going around Facebook that reminds me of something that happened to us when we had Trix that I somehow never put up here. Maybe it was waiting for its perfect moment. One day, on a whim, I bought Trix a new puzzle toy. The dog is supposed to roll the thing around …

A Giant Shmans Update
Tans is pretty long overdue for an update, so off we go. Back in June, we had our follow-up, and for the first time, it wasn’t with Chuck. Because his coverage area is so huge, he’s started sending people to do follow-ups, unless I guess the person has a huge problem or he’s in the …
An Update From The Land Of Brad And Trix
I’m so glad Brad did this update, complete with pictures. Now we can catch up on the life of Trix, which is still pretty good. Take it away, Brad. Rumour has it that it’s been quite some time since we last heard how good Ole Trixie is doing. Well my hound-loving blog readers, we’re about …
The Tanser Bear Birthday Bash!
It’s almost Tansy’s birthday. The beast turns 5 on Tuesday. Can you believe it? I can’t, and I know it to be a fact. Since I have missed all the other anniversaries this year, it’s time to have a giant Shmans chatter fest. Goddamnit, her life needs to be documented too, even if it has …
A Beastly Post
Brad sent this in. I’m so glad he did. I can’t really tell Trixie stories because I don’t see her every day. It’s so nice to have a few more, and this one has pics! Woo! So in honour of Trix’s recently-passed 11th birthday, here’s Brad. Oh, and here’s the post about the nail disaster. …
