Believe it or not, we’re coming up on a year of Trixie goodness. I left last March 18 and took that big plane-ride to California and had no idea about my dog. All I knew was they’d founda match. This got me thinking about all things dog, and I thought about doing something weird. Back …

Trixie’s New Tricks
I tried to post this yesterday, but a flue snuck up and laid the smackdown on me. Damn Flu! I felt like sorta crap the night before, and yesterday morning, I woke up and felt like such cream of crap. I spent the day either on the couch or in my bed. Poor Trixie must …
Trixie Says…
You know, this white stuff is getting really annoying. It was fun for a while to play in, but now, I would like regular sidewalks and nice days back. Nobody knows how to move the stuff out of the way. So there are lumps of it everywhere. Sometimes, after a lot of it has fallen …
Trixie’s Letter To Teddy
Dear Teddy, the dog who stays outside a lot near the place where I do my business: I know you haven’t been here as long as I have, but you’ve been here a long time. I remember when you were just a wee puppy and liked to jump at me when I was out on …
The Secret To Our Success
Well, I think Mushers’ Secret is already a success! We went on our first walk with it, and it worked like a dream! Trixie was steady, confident, fast but safe, and she went through salt and barely yeeeped! I think it was a yip in anticipation of pain, because after I wiped her paw, she …
More Things And More Stuff
Wow. Two random thought posts in one week? That doesn’t happen very often. Off we go. Last night, we were doing the old flip around the music channels thing again, aren’t we predictable? This time, what grabbed our attention was an English kids’ song. It sounded like that song “The Wheels on the Bus Go …
Things And Stuff
I have some random thoughts I’ve been meaning to write down. So here they are, in no particular order. The other day, that old song “Knock Three Times” came on. You know the one, “Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me, twice on the pipe if the answer is no.” this made …
Trixie’s Got The Winter Blahs.
You know, I’m a pretty patient dog. I’ll put up with a lot of stuff. But there is a point where I’m going to lose it, and I think I’m reaching that point. So first, this white stuff comes. Snow? Yeah, that’s it. Snow. I could deal with that, sort of. Then the city put …
The Guide Dog Podcast
This is the coolest thing. Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I got my Trixie-pup, has started making a guidedog podcast! I think it will teach a lot of folks all the things I always get asked, like how long training goes, what all the steps are, etc. Not that I mind answering, but it’s …
>Merry Trixmas
>Wow! This last little while has been busy! busy busy busy! Stuff to do and people to see and places to go and go go go go go! There’s been a lot of going, but not as much working. But it’s been fun. First, we went to this big restaurant full of food. there was …
