GDB’s Online Gift Shop Is Back!
Just a quick plug that the GDB gift shop is alive and kickin’. Well, mostly kickin’. It appears I can’t make an account because I’m Canadian. They have all kinds of obscure islands there, but not Canada…unless you’re in the armed forces that is. Edit: The one who needs kickin’ is me. If you just …
Guide Dog Handlers All Ways Blog-A-Thon
I figured I’d start today off with a quick plug. Guide Dog Handlers All Ways, a group of Guide Dogs for the Blind alumni who also have secondary disabilities, is holding a blog-a-thon on November 14, 2009 to raise money for GDB. From 8 a.m. eastern to 8 p.m. eastern, members will be posting everything …
More Gannon Tidbits
Here’s a more detailed article about Gannon’s getting lost and found. Wow. How far is Valley Springs from Lodi? And since he wiggled through an enclosed porch, should he be renamed Houdini? I’m kind of glad he was found without a collar. There was a sceptical part of me that couldn’t figure out how whoever …
Trixie-Related Ramblings
Here comes some more Trixie-related stuff. I don’t know if this post is quite long enough for R to sit back and put her feet up and read, but it’s longer than that other wee one I wrote. There are two things Trixie does right now that are mildly annoying. Hopefully I can get one …
Gannon Update
They found Gannon they found Gannon they found Gannon! I’m so happy I could dance. I guess the family that scooped him up when he was wandering around saw an article in the news about him being missing and returned him to the raiser. Yea!
GDB Is Now Offering A Reward For Gannon
Well damn it. Gannon is still missing, and now, they’re offering a reward for his safe return. Please, oh please let them find him safe and sound.
Some Trixie Questions Answered
I had a couple itcy bitcy Trixie updates that I thought I’d throw in a post. Since our neighbours moved into the place where Mylo used to live, I was worried that the place would still smell like Mylo and Trixie would refuse to go in. Nope. I went there last night, and Trix came …
Missing GDB Puppy
Oh boy, if I were this family, I’d be so upset right now. Apparently, Gannon, a 12-week-old puppy being raised by a GDB puppy raiser, has gone missing! Oh god. I hope they find him. It’s been a few days though, so I’m a little worried. The little thing would have just gotten off the …
Thoughts of All Shapes And Sizes
I wanted to write a blog post about random things, but I’m not as cool as R. She can create something out of absolutely nothing and make it look so easy…and hilarious. Me, I need a list. Then I can go nuts. You know in those commercials for osteoporosis drugs where they say that rarely, …
