I’m just going to tell you right now, that throughout this post, I’m going to sprinkle songs, starting with this one. It’s time to name Captain Nameless Illness, and no his name’s not Kidd, but that was the first song with a captain’s name I could think of. It has taken me a long time …

Thanks from Tansy to Trixie
One thing I neglected to talk about in the latest holiday wrap-up was the fact that Tansy inherited a couple of gifts I gave to Trix that she didn’t care for. She got the neat-looking squeaky duck, andthe much-sought-after Skineeez raccoon that Tans stole from Trix over and over again. Today was kind of a …
Goodbye 2015, You Mixed Bag Of Wackiness!
So yeah. There’s only 2 whole days left in this whirlwind of a year that is 2015. How in the sweet merciful hell did that happen? I feel like I’ve been running on what I thought was a treadmill, but now I realize that it was one of those moving sidewalks in the airport and …

Trixie’s Terrifying-Sounding Nail Disorder
There is one Trixie-related topic that I didn’t throw in the avalanche of stuff in the last post. Years ago when I still had Trix, when I changed vets to the one she liked, the vet noticed that her nails were weird and would split easily. One time when she was cutting her nails, she …

Doggy Hodgepodge
I figure I have some time, so why not write about Tans and Trix. Plus, it’s an excuse to put up this photo of Tansy with Santa. I also sent it to her puppy raisers and they seemed to like it. It was quite an adventure to get to this one pet store that was …
Robert Pearson, Gone Too Soon
Edit: Here’s his obituary. Search for his name…that’s the easiest way to find it. I have to say this because I can’t stop spluttering about it. I looked at my email, and saw one sent to a list I’m on and it was simply entitled “Robert Pearson.” I was going to gloss over it, but …
And the stupid Christmas Songs Continue After Christmas
I know Christmas is over, but I have one more stupid Christmas song that needs a place up here, mostly because I want to make fun of it. I thought of this song Christmas Eve when I knew I wouldn’t have time to do it justice. So, I give you Darcy the Dragon. I do …

The Cajun 12 Days of Christmas
Last year, I had the Irish letter about the 12 days of Christmas, which incidentally, still makes me cry at the end. I suck. Am I the only one? Probably yes. I can’t stand watching people cry, even if they’re joking. Now I see on a friend’s Facebook, there is a Cajun version. 12 days/letters …
UEB Ain’t Hard To Do
It appears I’m not quite gone. Thank you Top Tech Tidbits for passing on this little ditty about Unified English Braille. Yes, I’m a bad blind person and haven’t been paying attention to this UEB freight train. I knew that certain contractions were going, and kinda wondered why, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. …
Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Let’s keep up the theme of bad Christmas songs with this gem. This damn song will always remind me of a toy goose that Trixie got for Christmas…and destroyed in one sitting. The Shoe Thief and Steve nicknamed it Honky the Christmas goose, and I had no idea what they were talking about. If I …
