That title likely won’t make sense to anyone but Carin, but it works and it’s the best I’ve got, so we’re going with it. Speaking of Carin, any of you who know her, do yourselves a favour and picture this in her voice. Take it from me, it’s at least twice as amusing that way. …

Thank Goodness We Don’t Go To Thunder Bay
Steve was helping me out finding links for my WaddleLoo post and came upon the story of Dom’s kindred spirit. “Why do you say that?” I hear you asking. “Was he a golden retriever? Maybe he was a guide dog.” Nope. He loved chasing geese a wee bit too much, and chased one out onto …

🎶 Honk Honk Honk Honk WaddleLoo: Know Where The Geese Are and Have a Clue. 🎶
Man, I knew the geese were vicious as heck. I had heard lots of stories about geese attacking folks for their croissants near the University of Waterloo campus, and children getting chased by geese outside the Catalyst building where I work, among other stories. I know in the case of the children, their parents started …

Dear Mysterious Chinese Bots: Please Stop Slowing Down The Site And Making Me Think I Have Dementia
Mystery bot traffic from China floods websites, puzzling cybersecurity experts This has been happening to us on and off for months. Like the article says, it doesn’t seem to be malicious. None of our security systems has flagged anything, which I’m fairly certain would have happened by now were there anything to flag. It’s just …
So Long to Shmans And To One Of Her Old Buddies
Apparently, this is the newest Tansy favourite, so I had to put it up here. It sort of fits with some of her other ones. Sadly, that soundtrack is the last Tansy favourite song that we’re going to get, because she crossed over the rainbow bridge last month. It happened on March 14, but it …

A Quick Shmans Update
I just wanted to give a quick update on old Shmans. I got to see her in November, which was awesome. The friend who had taken Tansy for those few months before she moved to the home where she is now offered to go with me on a road trip so we could both see …
Chuuuuuuuck is Retiiiiiiiring!
If you don’t know what that title said, it was my best impression of my reaction to the news that Chuck is Retiring at the end of July. When I got the email that Chuck Farrugia, my field representative for Guide Dogs for the Blind was retiring after 33 years of amazing service to all …
Cicadas, Domino, and You
I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …
Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!
In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …

I Wonder If I Could Get Away With This
This is a really funny story that had better be true. If I find out that the New York Times got hoaxed back in 1908 it’s totally going to ruin my day. @weratedogs An absolute legend. 14/10 #weratedogs @ahistoryofdogs ♬ original sound – weratedogs “Dog a Fake Hero: Pushes Children into the Seine to Rescue …
