Today, Tansy got her second bath she’s gotten while she’s been with me. Man, is she ever easier to bathe than Trix. She hates getting in, and will fight tooth and nail to stay out of there, but once she’s in, she’s good as gold. I still appreciated having Steve there to keep the curtain …

Tour Of A Strange Dream
I have so many strange ideas for posts. I accumulate them and never get a chance to write them down…and then I barf small random posts because they’re the easiest to get done. So inevitably, I still leave the large, intimidating post ideas for who knows when. Here’s another small one. I mentioned dreaming about …
Trix, You’re Still In My Dreams
I mentioned yesterday in a comment under Brad’s post about Trix that I had another dream about her. Here it is, because it’s weird. And, why am I having Trix dreams still? It started off normal enough. Steve and Tansy and I were out walking through some festival in Kitchener, and Brad was there too, …
A Trixter Update
Another guest post, this time from Brother Brad who wrote in to let everyone know how Trixie is doing. It has been a while since I wrote about everyone’s favourite retired guide dog, Trixie. Rest assured, I sincerely apologize for this great injustice, and will now grace you with such a post. It is hard …
Why Does Dry Dog Food Have To Smell So Friggin Terrible?
I’m not really that much of a dog person, which is one of the reasons why I don’t do the guide dog thing. but that said, I love Carin’s dogs and have gotten along great with all of them. It’s like the way a lot of us love babies. They’re so cute and snugly and …

Helping A Searcher Out, A Little Too Late
This came in as a search. “Will Tansy hurt dogs?” Hmmm! Interesting question. Depends on how much rough play your dog can handle! I don’t think she would mean to, but I think she could do some damage if not monitored. Oh…you meant the Tansy plant? Oh. I don’t know, but this website seems to …

The Final Round Of Doggie Updates…For Now!
I think, maybe, this will be my last completely dog-focused post for a while. *puffpuff*. That was a lot of notes. I learned a lot more about Tansy the plant when Steve and I went to Cambridge Centre one Sunday. We met a lady who dyes her own yarn, and she says she uses Tansy …

The Princess And The Crate
This one is a story that stands all on its own. I’ve been meaning to write it since mid June. Well, here it is now. When I left training, I was a touch sad that Tansy wouldn’t have a crate waiting for her at home, especially since I saw how much she loved her school …
Tansy Updates, Great And Small, Part V
Is anybody bored yet? *hopes not* I’ve amassed an insane pile of observations, but maybe this stuff is only fun for me. About that, it seems with Tansy, I have this need to try and capture everything. I have tried to record her labby loops around the living room. I have tried to observe everything …
Tansy Updates, Great and Small, Part IV
So it’s morning. Time to get more Tansy stuff up. I have had so many firsts go by already. Tansy had her 2nd birthday back on May 31, and I didn’t blog a word. Shame on me. I think that must have been quite the birthday, we had a long day of work, followed up …
