Going Postal

Juno went through the mail today. She found her vet bills. “These vet bills were mailed third class! I ain’t comin’ on that tab.”

Priorities

Juno gave me another heart attack this week. Yesterday I let her play zoomies with Loki in the outer yard while I changed clothes to take them for a walk. They zoomied for quite a while and then happily went for a walk. When we got back from our walk, they both plopped in my [...]

Warehouse Workers

Two weeks ago, Loki and Juno went to a warehouse training class with our training clinic. During the week, they vary the locations at beaches, warehouses, empty retail stores and even dog parks to reinforce the mantra, “obedience, anytime, anyplace.” I love training my dogs because it builds a very close relationship to them. After a [...]

 
Sunny with a Chance of Light Suds

Um, Loki?

 
One-Eighth - Divided by 2 - His Size

“Whatchya got there Daddy-O?”

 
Fat Tuesday Crashers

It was Mardi Gras weekend at Wild Dingo. Now I know why that rediculously tall guy in the back holding onto the beam asked me if I dusted up there. For the record, I do. Luckily he doesn’t hang on to my chandeliers or his fingers would be gray!

 
Max's World Tour Swings Through Wild Dingo

As some of you know, our friend Max in South Africa has been touring the world and spending time with his friends along the way. We haven’t known Max long but we were delighted to find out that he’d be stopping by Wild Dingo. Loki and Juno immediately took him to their top two favorite [...]

 
How Working Dogs Call in Sick

“Hi Mom. Whatchya want?” “Hey Daddy-O. Looks like Mom’s fixin’ to ask us to do some work.”

Old Habits Die Hard

“I’m juuuusssst lookin’.” For the record (and this is for The Herd and a certain someone at The Herd Annex), Juno only counter-surfed once early on in living with us. It took one big “No!” to never have her attempt it again. Well, at least when I’m in the house.

Working Girl

After Loki’s search work last Sunday, Juno also went back to work in her part-time Therapy Dog gig. She’s been on medical leave since November for her mysterious illness and in Physical Torture Therapy and I didn’t want to freak people out with all her shavings.   Yes, Internet, I’m mean. I make my Siberian work! [...]

 
Loki Thanks the Readers of Mango Minster

I’ve been holding off telling Loki of the good news about his Readers Choice win at Mango Minster, because, well, we just fixed our ceilings from the last time he went cracker insane on us and it was nice to enjoy flat ceilings with no holes in them. But I couldn’t wait any longer so [...]

 
SART: Search and Rescue ... a Treat

Last Sunday was a Search working day for Loki. The trainer set up a bunch of hiding places on a school grounds that included tents, blinds, kiddie pools,  and even dog crates. We’re now in the second level program and prior to this, Loki did fairly well in his first level of search. On the [...]

 
Vote for Sugar Sweet!

Loki’s been at me all day to get this post out in a jiffy for his fellow Formosan Mountain dog, Sugar Sweet. She entered the ring for Hard Working GIRL dog at Mango Minster and she needs your vote! Loki, Juno and I have known Sugar for a while now and met on the Internet when Sugar’s mom, [...]

Doggie Gras

Mr. Wild Dingo and I decided to host a yearly Mardi Gras party, partly because our house is unconsciously designed in those colors and themes and partly because we love an excuse to party! Last year, these two crashed our party and did this:

Fun with a Box

Last Friday, I was super busy running around to post offices and Visa organizations trying to fix the status of my eaten passport. The chaps at the Visa office and the town clerk recorder’s office had a good chuckle at the story. Anyway, by the time I got home, there was no time for a [...]
