Oh, sorry, I'll put some picture up of my dogs. Look in my blog, I'll add some right now. I got to your blog by clicking "Next Blog" on the top of my blog. I like your three quite a bit. Thanks for visiting my blog though, I too seldom get many visitors.
About ableist language on my blog to any new readers - there is going to be some on old posts (pre November '09, I'd say roughly).
I'm not necessarily proud, but I'm not going to go back and edit the posts to clear them up, even though I want to and go look, I've been a good little activist all along!
But that's a lie and it's disingenuous. It's also a disservice to the few people who do read the posts.
On a personal note, it's a disservice to me. I can go look at my posts from 2008 and compare them to ones in 2010 and see how I've grown as a writer and as a human being. It's nice to see how far we've come in life, you know?
I am truly sorry if anything here hurts somebody, and even if it's on a post from 2006, do not feel shy to tell me - e-mail me at otrumpets at yahoo dot com or comment. (I get a notification with every comment, so if you do comment on an old one, I'll know and reply.)

This is a good place to start. It's an ongoing series.
The posts are "101" so feel free to ask questions, as long as they're not "FREE SPEECH!!!!" or "Why does this matter?"

Nice dog, I have two. they are "Weiner Dogs" but nonetheless dogs. I like yours.
Thanks, brandon.
Question - was this just one of latest blog posts on the main page?
I ask because I don't get many people, and I always want to know how you found me. :)
Are you going to put pictures up of your pups?
I just looked over your blog, no puppies. >:(
