It's been a while...

14 days ago by usherchic2

A very long while in fact, but here I am again! I have excuses as to why I've not been doing this blog for so long. But main and most valid one is that I've felt the most happiest and content and 'yay, life is actually quite good!' than I have in a long long long long time. I used the blog as a way ...

Whitney has a smart bump, and she’s not afraid to use it

19 days ago by bethfinke

Sometimes she's a little too smart for her own good, not to mention mine. Today Bark Magazine published a blog post I wrote about my first weeks at home in Chicago with Whitney.

Difficult to be Wonder-less

27 days ago by Ruth

Last night I went out to dinner with my friends from Ski for Light. We were missing Wonder, my friend's guide dog who passed away this year. It was so strange to sit at a table with four of us, instead of four and a half. It did not surprise me that my friend and Wonder had originally been greeted a ...

I left things yesterday with us returning home with six boots instead of four. But that fourth boot I lost remained lost for several months. In the spring, my work colleague and friend was driving to work, when she spied something hanging on a bush. Something that looked like one of Gia's dog boots. ...

One Year!

35 days ago by Cyndy Otty

Time is an odd and bewildering thing. In equal parts I find myself astounded by the length of time that has passed and disbelieving that it is truly a year to the day that Uschi and I became a team. In thinking over our time together I find myself at somewhat of a loss; the events that truly stand o ...

Favorite Photos of 2011

39 days ago by Cyndy Otty

For a number of reasons I’m rather fanatical about checking stats here, but other than noting new comments I don’t pay much attention to the activity on my Flickr stream. I’m hardly anything above a pure amateur so I guess I never really have cared, but I was poking around the other day and was plea ...
