There was something else I heard in the dog first-aid course that made me think seriously. Well, it was a combination of what the instructor said, and what Jill wrote about what happens if you ride around in your car sans seatbelt. Corinna showed me this seatbelt she has for her dogs. Apparently, it doubles …

The Dog First-Aid course
I honestly don’t know why this post is taking me so long to write. I started writing it a few weeks ago, only got a couple of lines in and then my computer took a poop, taking it down with it. So here I go again. Remember when I said I was going to take …
Wow, What A Small Guide Dog!
Remember how I talked about how I get asked a lot if Trixie is fully trained? This usually happens after an embarrassing incident. Well, here’s a new twist on it. I’ve now heard that puppy raisers get asked when they’re walking through places with the puppy they’re raising if they’re blind! Now that one is …
Guide Blogs For The Blind
Har har. Aren’t I funny? Probably not. Oh well. First, GDB went and got a podcast. Now, they have a blog! It’s called “no bones about it”, oh har har har har, and I think it will end up being pretty cool. I had to kind of get mad at them about the first post …
Colour Me Shocked
I’m not quite as surprised as I would be if this happened anywhere else since Japan’s drug laws are the way they are, but I still didn’t expect things to turn out this way. The air passenger who got the unexpected gift of 142 grams of pot from Japanese customs has found and returned it. …

Thanks For The Free Weed, Dumbasses
Dog misses planted drugs in Japan, customs embarrassed A customs agent hoping to test Narita airport’s sniffer dogs put 142 grams of cannabis into the side pocket of a randomly selected suitcase, officials said. “The dog couldn’t find it and the officer [then] forgot which bag he put it into,” a spokeswoman told journalists in …
What’s That, Lassie? Timmie Fell Down The Well?
I’ve always wondered if it’s possible to figure out what Trix is thinking. Now, apparently there is something that can analyze barks. Israeli prisons are using it to interpret their guard dogs’ barks. But what I find more disturbing than the fact that they’ve invested all this money in technology that analyzes sample barks which …

Rescue Me!
Well, It’s the May long weekend again, and you know what that means, don’t you? Fireworks. And do you know what that translates to in Trixie-land? Puffpantpuffshivershivershakepuffpuffpuff. Last year, I noticed it, but some people told me once she was more bonded to me, she would feel less afraid. Well, nope. It’s weird. People started …
Look! Another Trixie Post!
I figured it was about time for another Trixie update. Every single time I do one of these, I feel like I’m forgetting stuff. Oh well, it just means more material for later. Remember when I mentioned how she like to stretch out on her belly with her legs as far behind her as possible? …
