Rhodie (Oct 15, 1995 - Oct 26, 2009)

Just after 12:30 this afternoon, at his home in Sauble Beach, guidedog.org graduate Rhodie passed on peaceably from this world to the place where all good doggies go. Rhodie was 14 years old

A thoughtful tribute

Our many thanks to Ms.B.Alderson of Campbellville Ontario!  Received a note today from the Guide Dog Foundation of "A Thoughful Tribute to Honor Paul 'Tagalong' Stewart & Peanut", an expression of best wishes in a contribution sent on to the foundation after the Georgetown show. Thanks so much!

Anyone else wanting to support Paul and partner in his Road of Life fundraiser is welcome to contact The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind Inc in Smithtown New York and make a pledge!

Rocky road for Tagalong

Mike Strobel | Toronto Sun:

"Ahh, guitar in hand, prairie wind in his hair, salt spray in his face, northern forests murmuring in his ear. A glorious adventure. A bounty of material for his next CD.

No such luck. The Road of Life ends in Cornerbrook. 'I was real discouraged, Mike,' he tells me yesterday at his regular haunt, Joe's Pastizzi Plus on Dundas St. W.

'It was a strange feeling, standing in a strange city, not knowing anyone, not knowing where I was going.'

So he and Peanut hop a flight home to their usual busking doorway on Bloor St. near Windermere. 'I thought you were going across Canada,' the first local says.

'I tried,' says Paul.

But hold the phone, cowboy. The dream is not moribund. Just morphed ..."

Thank You

A small, but appreciative audience attended the "Gone To The Dogs" fundraiser in support of visually-impaired musician Paul Stewart and his guide dog Peanut, held on September 30^th. At the Halton Hills Cultural Centre. To those that attended, a heart-felt thank you on behalf of myself, Paul and Peanut. You made him feel welcome in Georgetown and you have made his cross-Canada Road of Life Tour a little less bumpy. Special thanks also go out to Jamie Smith, manager of the Halton Hills Cultural Centre www.haltonhills.ca/theatre,  musician Nonie Crete www.nonie.ca and her daughter Kathleen, as well as Toronto Sun columnist Mike Strobel, for your willingness participate.

Once again……Thank You, one and all. Ken Baker
