Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
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 …

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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …

I may need to think twice about watching wrestling when Domino is around, because it appears he’s mastering the art of the foreign object. He likes to come over while you’re sitting down and put his front paws up on you. This has evolved into a game with him and I where sometimes I’ll try …
I have a bit of time, so I thought I would write about how Domino and I are doing, and what I have learned about him so far. He’s so good in the house, but he moves so quietly. He could get into a lot of mischief if he wanted to. Thankfully, most of the …
So, for the purposes of history, I’m posting a recording of my meeting with Domino. But I have to apologize for its quality. Without thinking, I recorded it while wearing my Aftershokz headphones which, while they’re pretty great, don’t record other voices in the room as well as the voice of the person wearing them. …

So off we go. neerome! Wee! Can you tell I’m on the plane? Yup. Dom cruised through the airport with no trouble. Ok, he might have slurped a TSA agent but hey! He was petting, er, patting him down! We went through the metal detectors and only metal-covered Domino set them off. But when they …
