A couple of days ago, I had something happen that just had to go into the Trixie brag files. On Thursday, Huppy’s mom and I decided we’d go get the landlady some chocolates since she was leaving and would no longer be our landlady. But it was coldcoldcold out there, and there was no way …

Trixie Waggles Onto the Blog Again
I’ve been meaning to write a little dog post for a while now. The apartment building is getting a whole new carpet on all the floors. So, they have completely ripped up the carpet in the hall. They’re fast for sure, they’re already laying underpad today. I wasn’t sure what Trix would think of the …
The Walk From Hell
Ok, I just came back from the walk from hell. I figure something good has to come out of it, so I’m going to blog about it, in the hopes that it will help people be more helpful and less likely to get yelled at. Let me just describe what happened, and then I’ll break …
Akron Shitty Center
I would hate to be Shawn Pouliot right now. But if the story went the way he says it does, I hope he wins the lawsuit. According to him, he went to a downtown Akron hotel, the Akron City Centre Hotel, one night, and had an unfortunate accident where his colostomy pouch broke, spreading its …

This is a pretty cool story. Cadillac was a GDB puppy, but they decided that he just wouldn’t make it as a guide dog. So he became a search and rescue dog, and now he’s headed for Haiti to put his rescue skills to definite use. Good luck to him and his handler. Years ago, …
Guilt Marches On?
The other day, I was complaining to Steve that I haven’t had any good dreams to blog about in a while. Well, I got a whole wack of them, and the weird thing is if the message of the dreams is what I think it is, I can only believe that part of my own …
Trixie Wants To Have A Word Or Six.
Ha ha, I have the keyboard. I have the keyboard I have the keyboard. Hmmm I wonder if I can get this done in time for kibble. It’s almost time to eat that yummy kibble kibble kibble stuff. Speaking of kibble, I’ve noticed I get a bit less kibble than I used to. Carin said …
Trixie Observations
I haven’t done a little post all about Trixie in a while. Here are a few things I’ve noticed over the past few months that I thought needed mentioning. The shoe thief, who Trixie thinks is all different kinds of awesome, is a big fan of A Boat like Gideon Brown by Great big Sea. …
Body-Scanners and Guide Dogs
I have a small update to the body scanners story. A member of a guide dog email list found out that it is advised that us guide dog handlers get the pat-down because the body-scanners are small, making it hard for man and beast to fit in them, and emit a noise that may bother …
