Wow a week has gone by quickly. Everything has gone smoothly inspite of a nearby wildfire, a wind storm, a fallen tree, and a few power outages. Juno and Loki have been great sports, great fun and good company. We celebrated our last full day together with two raw bones. Yummy. Only one day to [...]

Bulletin for Mom and Pop: all is well but we miss you. We tried interrogating the visitor by licking him but it didn’t work. He won’t reveal your whereabouts. We will work on him some more. He has gotten better at keeping shoes hidden – did you or your friends say something to him? Where [...]

All is well. I can almost walk around without constantly checking my instruction packet. German commands just bubble out of me without any effort. Juno and Loki have been patient with us whether it’s getting up in the morning or assembling their meals. Yesterday we played a lot in the yard. Today, we played and [...]

Wild Dingo is out of the office October 22-29, visiting the foliage on the East Coast. TravelMarx may be guest-blogging occassionally (its not guaranteed) — if you hound them. Feel free to hound them for a Loki or Juno fix at travelmarx @ wilddingo.com (type it in as normal to your email program). “We’ll just [...]

“Loki, Juno, come here. Time for a family meeting.” “Damn it cupcake, I told you not to eat her shoes again. Now we’re both grounded.” “Ooo… I can’t look. I don’t want to know what kind of trouble we’re in. Maybe we’re going to JAIL!” “No Loki, that’s not why I called you here. Although [...]

A few weeks ago, I won a free evaluation from a dog behaviorist and CAV (certified accupuncture veterinarian). So I used the evaluation on Retardo since there were a few behaviors that still needed work. The behaviorist/vet was awesome and had a bunch of insight on why Retardo acts like, well, Retardo. While she was [...]

She’s a lady, for sure. But she did have frijoles for dinner last night. I’m just sayin…

Yesterday was “raw bone” day at Wild Dingo. Juno always gets the smaller bone because she’s a bit chubby again. Also, Loki takes about 40 minutes to eat his bone while Juno takes about 4 hours to finish hers. It was still really wet outside (where they usually eat them) so I used old blankets they are allowed to [...]

The Internet Service is back! Woo hoo! Hmm… Now what to do? What to do? Shall I start by catching up on work? Or shall I start by blogging about what we did during the two days with no power (though we have a kick-ass generator) and no Internet? Silly question! During an emergency, a Siberian [...]

As in “WTF was that yesterday?” Constant downpour, 40 mph winds, no dog walk, no playing in the yard, and a big boom that woke us up. “WTF is going on here?” Buddy, I feel for you. Really.

For the record, this is not where I leave my shoes. “Um, seriously mom, your taste in shoes needs to change, and fast.” Just what I need. A Siberian with fashion sense.

Silly me. Score: Shoes: 0, Juno: 17

Imperfect photographer. Imperfect dog trainer. Imperfectly behaving dogs. Do you know how long I’ve been trying to get the perfect photo of these two on this particular bridge? Too long. First time, I had dog schmeg all over my lens and didn’t know until I got home and downloaded the photos. Then the next few [...]

Macy was found as a puppy by a rescuer at a gas station one day. Nobody knew how she got there or who owned her, but they knew she’d been living htere for a few days. The gas station owner didn’t like workers feeding her, so the rescuer took Macy to a vet and gave [...]

So far, Loki’s best trick is his “bow.” It was a little serendipitous how I taught it to him in the first place. Teaching that trick is actually not that easy. Dogs sometimes will go straight into a down rather than a bow. I won’t divulge my super secret methods in training the bow, but [...]

Woo! October is “Woo!” Month! How can I resist a Halloween theme for October’s Masthead? Two dogs howling at the moon couldn’t be more appropriate. “Rhymes with ‘Boo’” is aimed at my Siberian Husky and Siberian Husky friends. Unfortunately, Juno doesn’t actually “woo” and oddly, Loki “woo’s” at Emergency vehicles as if he were a [...]
