Holy crap, I am a giant idiot! This was supposed to get in my holiday post under the I’m not supposed to ever leave because stuff happens while I’m gone files. Shame on me for forgetting! Smack smack smack! I come back from holidays, and Steve keeps mentioning that I have one important email. I’m …

The Long-Awaited, Long Holiday Post
I always write a post about the holidays. It’s just a matter of when. I’m crazy, and want to get through the easy stuff first before I sit down and crank out a giant epic. But it seems writing the holiday epic has become the thing I’ve done since Steve and Matt let me come …
Don’t Turn My Guide Dog Into A Tracking Dog!
Ro and I have been talking about Dutch food and the Dutch store on this post, and it got me thinking about something that happened there once. I went in to get something, and a lady decided to help me find someone who worked there. I said I would follow her, and then two identical-sounding …

News About the Roundabout
Remember back when I last mentioned the blasted roundabout? Well, it’s not gonna happen! I’m so happy, I could dance. Hell, I could do the roundabout death dance! Before I say anything else, I want to fix the reporter’s mistake. There was no support worker. The person who walked through the roundabout with me was …
I’m Running Out Of Names For These Thought Posts
Here comes another thought splatter. Enjoy. Silly Trixie has a new morning habit. She usually sleeps out in her bed in the living room. I have no idea why. But at some point in the night, she gets up and comes to the bed by me. But she used to just come in and lay …

Bye-Bye Big Lu
Well, I can officially say it now. Luther is gone. I was afraid his time was sooner rather than later, but it’s never easy when it happens. As I’ve said before, Luther was the first guide dog I saw a lot of. He was always so chilled, but so unbelievably dedicated. But man he could …
Hands Off The Guide Dog!
I got an email from Michelle in Australia who stumbled across the blog. Woohoo! She told me a story and asked me if I’ve had the same thing. I’d have to say no. She asked if I’ve ever had someone actually physically grab and try to drag my dog a few inches away from another …
Christmas Ramblings
I figured I’d write a few Christmas-related thoughts. Holy crap, I’m actually getting my Christmas shopping in order. I just need to pick up a few things, and get a couple more ideas, and I’ll be done. Of course, a lot of this stuff has to come through the mail…so there’s still a lot of …
Lots And Lots Of Doggy Thoughts
The other day, I said I had a dog-related post. Finally, I’m getting around to posting it. I warn ya, this one’s a monster. Back a couple of christmases ago, I got a Furminator for christmas. I love this thing. It’s great for getting a whole lot more hair out than your run-of-the-mill zoom groom …
It’s A Pile of Thoughts!
This is a pretty sad state of affairs. I’ve been meaning to write some random stuff down, and started compiling a list about two weeks ago…and I’m finally starting to write it. I have so many things written down that I thought I’d better split it into dog and non-dog posts. So let’s start with …
