Not Shakin’ All Over

Because I’m nuts, I went to find an update on Involuntary dances, to see if Rita Marcalo had managed to induce a seizure. Well, thankfully, she didn’t.

A Few Years Down The Line, Will We Have More Of These?

Here’s proof that we have just too much stuff up here. Every day, I have this silly habit of going back through the archives and seeing what was written this day last year, and the year before, and the year before that…etc. Today, I came across a snippet of this post, which caught my attention. …

Hands Off The Guide Dog!

I got an email from Michelle in Australia who stumbled across the blog. Woohoo! She told me a story and asked me if I’ve had the same thing. I’d have to say no. She asked if I’ve ever had someone actually physically grab and try to drag my dog a few inches away from another …
