Famous

I Googled myself today. Here's what I found.

I found this post on someone else's blog, someone I don't even know:
Dogs, much cooler than technology. At least I think they are.

The Willawomen is in the process of training a service dog named Frankie and blogging it. Interestingly enough Willawomen was not a dog person, well, not prior to suffering a disability.

It should be interesting seeing how things develop between the two of them. Check it out.

Kewl!
Then I found this here:
listening to: Willawoman, Crazy (Make Me Crazy remix)
don't know willawoman? go forth and hear. she trains service dogs too

Then this:
So what did end up in the blogroll? Mostly interesting writing, or a sense of humor similar to my own. Sometimes I was caught up by a view of life in another country.

Sometimes it was a way of life alien but not unfamiliar to me (Check out Willawoman as an example).

Each weblog I added was, at least at the time I read it, both familiar enough without being too familiar, and different enough without being far too different. I don't think these people are "just like me".

Claim to fame in the internet blog world!

You are even more famous than that, my dear. Go to http://www.blogher.org and click the health & wellness topic on the left side of the page. Then, look for Year of the Dog. :-)

Wow, you're right! Here's the actual post: http://blogher.org/node/1084

Here's the comment: "Finally, my favorite service dog blog, The Willa Woman.

She never wanted a dog, until she became disabled. She's training her third service dog and she's amazing. She shares dog training tips, fantastic dog anecdotes, tips for dealing with disability and more.

I think I want to be The Willa Woman when I grow up."

Hi Willawomen,
Since you don't know me I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Ziggi, blogger at Wheelchair Diffusion and webmaster at USA TechGuide. I posted the "Cooler than technology" piece.

I just wanted to say that your reputation is both well deserved and well earned. You're a great blogger on a great subject with a one of a kind blog. Keep it coming.

Workers free dog trapped in sewer pipe

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- The sound of barking underneath a street Tuesday led a team of city workers to a dog trapped in a narrow culvert - and you might say they used a backward approach to rescue the mutt. The sickly, scared dog was about 50 feet from the nearest entry point, but since the culvert was just 15 inches in diameter, the workers couldn't fit into it themselves. Not even offers of food could draw out the dog. "He was exhausted," said Tony Talamantez, a public works foreman. Then Talamantez and his colleagues had an idea. They rigged up a long video camera used to inspect drain pipes, and approached the dog from the back. They used the camera to nugdge the dog forward until he reached an entry point big enough for a person to pull him out. The camera recorded the rescue, showing the dog scampering ahead in fits and starts as the camera pokes him in the rear end. The dog wore no tags, only a worn collar. But Julia Gosen, animal control officer for the city, said

Axe Me A Question

Go ahead and ask. Ask the questions you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair. Nothing is too embarrassing. You might as well ask me on this blog since you are somewhat anonymous and don't have to look me in the eye. What have you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair? Here, I'll start: Q: "Hi, my name is LaLaundria! I wanted to know how do you take a shower?" A: Well, LaLaundria, I sit down. On a shower chair. I have grab-bars installed in my shower/tub and my commode rooms to give me extra balance. A shower chair is a hard plastic chair made to fit in showers and tubs. I have a shower massage type shower head that helps get the water closer to my hair. Howze that? Ask away, no question is off limits! (Oh Jeez, what am I getting myself into!)

Here Doggie!

While shopping at Sprouts today, I had a guy in the next checkout lane actually whistle at Frankie. WHAT?! He whistled to him like he was calling the hounds back from the barn. Then he went to reach for him. I actually placed my hand on this guys chest and said: "He's not a ranch dog, you shouldn't be distracting him, he's working." Mr. Cowboy didn't even apologize... but he got schooled! Oy.
