I got some sad news the other day. Sandy, Steve’s aunt’s dog, the Australian shepherd that has been in so many stories over the years, passed away. She was 14, so certainly lived a good long life, but it’s still sad. We first met Sandy when she chased Trixie around and around and around the …

The Night Santa Went Crazy
Ever since I got my CPAP machine that I call Santa Claus, I’ve been having a lot more dreams. The rush of dreams is almost as pronounced as when we got our new mattress…which is nearing the end of its days, I think. At least some of these dreams are just amusing and they aren’t …
Let’s Talk About 2022
As I sit here in the middle of January of 2023, I guess I should try and reflect on 2022. I meant to do this on New Year’s Eve, but I just didn’t manage it. So since it seems I do everything late, here it is. The funny thing is I don’t know what to …
Oh Tansenbaum
It seems that Tansy is enjoying her new home. I asked for some pictures so I could give them to her raisers, and here’s what I got. I would say she’s one happy dog, even though she looks a little sad in the picture up top. My mom commented that her dog bed looked huuuuge. …
Tansy Says Hi After Retirement
So, Tansy has had a busy four months since she retired and moved into her new home. She has had more time romping with dogs and people than she usually gets, which makes me happy. She became good doggy friends with the beagle at her new home who she had played with at the dog …

Now, amazingly, I have one for Tansy…and the things people are asking are all basically new. It’s incredible how each situation …
My Last Great Hunk Of Tansy Observations
There are still a few things I wanted to write down, even though Tansy has moved on to the next chapter of her life. A few? Who am I kidding? There’s a lot here. I hope you have some time. Tansy has taught me that I haven’t spent enough time with old dogs. By the …
Happy Retirement, Tansy!
I’ve wanted to write this post for a while, but I couldn’t find the words. Now that some time has passed, I figure I’d better find them, and fast! I have been working on Tansy’s retirement process for a while now. It started at the beginning of the pandemic, so everything was frozen for a …
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie The Computer Doctor…
I don’t know why this song appears in my head when I have to call these guys, but it does. I’m realizing that we have lived in this town for nearly ten years, and have used the services of Bernie the Computer Doctor, and I have never given them a plug, and that’s a shame. …

The Trials And Tribulations of Tansy
I swear, she danced along with *this* song. No joke! Maybe she’s worried about the service weasel. Anyway, she is overdue for an update. What a time she’s had! It started off when she had a really persistent yeast infection in her ears. That thing would not go away! it took a couple of rounds …
