Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I think Trixie has earned herself another dog post. Last weekend, we went to a friend’s wedding, and Steve was in the wedding party. Hopefully we’ll get some good pictures back, and you’ll actually get to see what Steve looks like. It’ll look a hell of a lot better than my failed attempt at photography. …

Here’s a new one in the list of bizarro guide dog-related happenings I’ve had. I was standing at a busy corner. since I can’t see the light, I like to start my crossing at the beginning of the light cycle. So I like to hear the cars go on the street in front of me …

I just did a quick check, and it appears I haven’t done one of these since last November. Wow, that seems like way too long. So I’ll spare you a whole lot of banter since I don’t have much of substance to say today (How is this different from most other days?) and we’ll get …
I’ve been thinking about afew things. Here they are in no particular order. My Trixie dreams have taken a new twist. They’re of two types: One has me going back to training, and some of my classmates are there, only this time, Trixie is with me. We just end up having a refresher, and I …
A while ago, I talked about the week of eye exams for service dogs. Well, Trix got her eyes tested on Monday, and all’s good. I expected that it would be, but I thought it would be good to have a recent eye report on file. The night before, I was all nervous. Trixie can …

Starks sued the city of Warren, several police officers…and…a police dog…because the dog bit her on her buttock and she says it damaged a nerve preventing her from walking without pain. Because she sued the dog, the judge fined her for frivolously suing the animal. Where …

Yesterday did not start off well. In fact, it scared the everloving hell out of me. Trix and I got up like normal. Everything was ticking along. After I groomed her, I was sitting here in the bedroom and she was sitting beside me. I was giving her some pets. Once, I stopped and I …
I know this was designed for a 1930’s era car, but…um…whoever designed it must hate dogs. first, the person must put the dog in a bag and then clip it to the running board. Apparently, where it is fastened, every time the driver’s door opens, *wack*! Now the dog is to ride in this sack …
