I hope this post doesn’t bore too many people, but I thought someone might be interested in this, so off we go. I got my acceptance package from Guide Dogs on Wednesday, and it’s pretty cool.

Sleep? What’s that?
Really, someone should call me a waaambulance for this post. but I don’t care. I can’t sleep. It’s 3 in the morning. I wake up. Ever since I’ve gotten the doggy news, I’ve been lucky if I’ve slept past 4 a.m. For the first couple of nights, I understood why. I was excited. I had …

Dingo was Its Name Oh?
Um. Yeah. People in Australia really want us to stop saying, “Perhaps the Dingo Got your Baby.” Now they’re training them to be guide dogs! Yep, I’m serious. Ok, first we got guide horses, and now we have guide dingos! Are we really running out of dog breeds? I mean, I understand looking for new …
Brownie Camp? Try Boot Camp!
I get some interesting responses when I tell people I’ll be heading away to guide dog school. Some people are just shocked that I have to go away for a month, some people want to know what happens there. And some people think I’m going away for a month for a vacation. I mention where …
