The most frequent comment people make about my Guide dog, Opal, is: “What a beautiful/good-looking/gorgeous dog!” It usually is followed by: ”So shiny”, ”glowing coat”, “like a mirror”. Some ask if she just had a bath. To this I emphatically reply, “NO, I groom my dog daily, but NO BATHS.” There is no good reason [...]
Sure, you’ve seen Blind people before. Maybe you’ve watched a guy walking down the road using a white cane. One day you were at the food court in the mall and you observe someone with a guide dog eating their lunch a couple of tables over. Maybe, one day, you spotted a Blind person getting [...]
I am an environmentally conscious person. I Recycle, Reuse and Reduce…the three R’s rule my world. Noise pollution? I’m right there complaining about the excess racket in our world. Concerts and movies are not part of my scene. I want, and need to keep my hearing intact. However, when it comes to the topic of hybrid [...]
THIS JUST IN!!!! Tragedy hits Wise Advice Chief. Reports from Halifax indicate that a heavy object hit Wise Advice Chief, H.R.M. on the head yesterday. Described as a ‘freak accident’ by the self-proclaimed queen of advice-giving, she was quick to announce that her injuries are not serious. When asked for details, H.R.M. offered the following: [...]
Dear Wise Advice, I need you help desperately. I’ve had a song stuck in my head for six days. I have not slept the past three nights. Over, and over…I hear it. I don’t even know the title of this tune. You know the one. It goes…”I got rhythm, I got music…who could ask for anything [...]
No one has asked for advice yet today, but I’m going to provide it… to Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) City Council: Today’s the day I submit my funding request on behalf of the Advisory Committee for Persons With Disabilities (ACPD). Remember? You sent a representative to one of our meetings last autumn. That cheery soul [...]
It’s a slow day for advice. Apparently all is well with the world. I know it is in mine. Why, you ask? I have shelter, food, water, reasonable health…and a Guide dog. Life for a person who is blind can go lots of different directions. Sometimes the challenge of vision loss can really bum a [...]
Dear Wise Advice, my name is Eleanora Hampsterson. I live in the lovely village of Come-By-Chance, Newfoundland. Things here were quite lovely until last week. That’s when the lady next door, you know who I’m talking about, eh? the lovely redhaired lass with the nutty dog? Well she comes round to the door, see. Banging [...]
URGENT!!! Dear Wise Advice, my neighbour, Mrs. Hampsterson told me that you always come through in a crisis. I don’t know where to turn. My life is a shambles. Recently, my dog, Big Beagle Boy, has been acting strangely. He drools excessively at odd times and has developed an intense fear of walking on grass. [...]
