Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 8
It’s Sunday. Ug. Am I ever happy it’s Sunday. I mean I still had to get up for 6:15 or so for the 6:30 relieve, but after that and breakfast, it was back to bed with me. Trixie seemed cool with that too. The poor beast is tired. I thought she’d hate tiedown, but as …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 7
It’s Saturday. Yesterday ended off on a strange note. Amy, Jill, Autumn and I went to the instructors all for different reasons to complain about David. I think we upset them because we didn’t seem to be following the communication protocol because we were all in there together, seemingly conspiring against him. But it really …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 6
Man I was tired this morning. Autumn and I had a role reversal. I was groggy and she was awake when my alarm went off at 5:45 a.m. I stayed up until 11 which probably wasn’t smart, but I had a lot of email to respond to after I sent the mass email that said …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 5
Well, first night with the dog. It was definitely interesting. She definitely has Babs-like tendencies, like, oh say, trying to wake me up at 3 in the morning. If I showed any part of my body, she’d be up sniffing. Crazy beast. But I still managed to sleep, so that was good. We got up, …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 4
Well, it’s 6:30 in the morning and I’m awake and thinking. Thinking about a lot of things. Today’s the day everything’s going to change. There’ll be no more getting up at 6, it’ll be earlier because the dogs have to be fed, watered and relieved by 6:30 which means I have to look half presentable …
Spammers And Bankers And Rage, Oh My!
So, how’s everybody today? Hopefully good. I’m doing ok. A little sluggish, but that’s alright, I’ll get over it eventually. Maybe writing might help get me going, so I figure that’s what I’ll do until I run out of things to talk about or get sidetracked by something else. Everybody keeps asking me if I …
Odd Combination Of Things Number 4
Before we get started, here’s a quick update/correction. Thestory in Things Number 3about the drunk who said a unicorn was driving his car when he had his accidentturns outnot to be quite accurate.There was no unicorn, just misunderstood slang that came out of communications from the prosecutor’s office. Apparently anybody who has a stupid excuse …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 3
Grrr. There’s never enough time. Never! Last night, after I wrote that entry, I went to send it to the computer, but Autumn ran back to the room and said lock the door lock the door! So I did, apparently she was running from David! He’d ordered pizza, apparently he and Amy have hollow legs. …
Carin’s Guide Dog Diary: Day 2
Well, I survived the first day. This morning was an interesting start. Amy had a seizure and Jill had to yell for help. I was in the shower when it happened. I miss everything. Frank’s cool. He can speak many languages. So he makes a point of speaking to the kitchen ladies in Spanish or …
