And now that I’ve put up the super time-sensitive and milestone-type stuff, here’s some random stuff that’s left over. I forgot to include a recent picture of Tansy, so here’s one that was taken close to her seventh birthday. I was at a conference, and when Tans went out to pee, she must have sniffed …

The Tansy Scoop part 1
Wow. The last time Tansy got a dedicated post was December! That’s just not cool! Of course, as a result, I have a metric ton of things to write down. This one could be a multi-parter. Tansy has entered a time period I affectionately nicknamed “the year of the complex.” She has worked with me …
What Dogs Are Seeing When They Watch TV
I was interested in watching this video because quite often, Tansy will come out and sit by one of us, get some pets and stare intently at the television. Her two favourite things seem to be crime stuff like Cops and Live PD, or any of the vet shows we watch, especially the Incredible Dr. …
Music Does Soothe The Anxious Canine!
Tansy has taught us that music can be exciting and soothing, although lately, she has been less excited by her old favourites. Is that a thing of the past? But, if she has to be left alone, Easy 101 still keeps her very calm. Now, a guy has developed music for stressed dogs, and you …
An Update On The Other Nephews
So, I posted a pretty big description of the one mephew in the holiday wrap-up. I went to see the two other ones about a month ago, and have been wanting to write things down ever since. Soon I’m going to have to come up with nicknames for these little grabbers so everyone can tell …
Have A Giant Holiday Wrap-Up
Holy crap, it’s 2018. I feel like these holidays snuck up on us, then jumped on us, and now I’m still in disbelief that they’re over. In a small sense, they’re not quite over because I haven’t seen the nephews on my side of the family and we might see them this weekend, but everything …
Tansy Stuff
It’s almost Christmas, holy moly, so I thought I should write another Tans post. Amazingly, this one *shouldn’t* be a monster. I was feeling pretty good about our progress with Tans in the hatch. Well, all of that fell apart when once again, she rode with something that bumped her as we rode. Now, her …
Updates On the Two Black Beasts
I have some time, so I figured I should write about the two black beasts I know so the post doesn’t grow into a monster. Tansy went to the vet for her annual checkup a month or so ago, and they said she looked great. They did comment that she does have a tiny bit …
Tansy Goes Back To Her Roots
This trip happened last summer, but I’m just writing about it now. Way to go, me! But it is one that needs to be written down as an important thing in the life of Shmans. Last July, I planned a trip to Tansy’s puppy raisers’ place. They had invited me down to spend some vacation …
Something For The Tans Fans
I’ve been very slow in writing about Tansy, which is a shame. She turned 6 back in May and I didn’t write a thing. So now that it’s been 3 months since my last deluge, have another one. Finding the perfect amount of food for her has been a challenge. I switched to duck back …
