Last Sunday, I broke down and got him his own dog. Not for Mr. Wild Dingo but for Loki. Just so I’d have a few free moments to myself instead of playing tug with him 24/7. Husky owner, Jim (owner of Loki’s favorite chew toy Vushkey) planted a little seed in my ear “Come by the adoption [...]
Earlier this month, Mr. Wild Dingo had a week off. Since we needed to seriously cut back on our rock star life style, we decided to take it easy that week and build a fence for Loki’s yard. This is what Scott did:
Loki misbehaved in a big way: he didn’t come on recall. No amounts of treats would work. And he engaged in fence fighting with a dog he already KNEW and played with before. I felt like the mother of a child throwing a tantrum in a theater. No doubt about it, this German Shepherd-Formosan Mountain Dog is definitely [...]
Loki and I went to our usual dog park this Sunday morning. The dog park we go to is really great. Most people with and without dogs love the dogs on the trail. We park close to the off-leash dog park and walk under an overpass that has a sloped walkway for pedestrians, cyclists and [...]
People keep asking me what breed Loki is. Some guess the German Shepherd, but then they can’t figure out the rest. When you Google Taiwanese Mountain Dog you’ll find Formosan Mountain Dog, Taiwan’s version of the dingo. He has some of the same traits, namely those antenna- like ears, body structure and shape of his [...]
Dear Loki, How many channels do you get with those ears? Sincerely, Monster Girl Member of the National Esteemed Feline Society
It’s no secret that I like all animals, specifically dogs. I like all breeds of dogs: big, small, smart, not-so-smart, silly, dignified, long hair, short hair. But I go ga-ga for small dogs: Shitzu’s, terriers, Pomeranians, Maltese and Benji-like mutts. Something about them tugs at my heart strings. Scott doesn’t prefer smaller breeds so we [...]
Loki’s foster mom, Cindy, emailed me today. She asked me to apologize to Loki for accusing him of taking all the shampoo bottles out of the tub. It turns out her own dog, Lupin, had just been caught in the act of the very same alleged misdemeanor last night. And she was sorry that she [...]
For the last few days, Loki’s been settling in. In the beginning he seemed happy but sad. Sad in that he missed his foster mom who had him for three months. His foster mom is a dog trainer, with a pack of dogs and some horses and I’m guessing lots of free roaming space and [...]
In an effort to restore canine balance to Wild Dingo’s staff, I’ve been busy interviewing and searching for just the right fit into this dysfunctional organization I call a business. The search was difficult, as the talent pool is saturated with an abundance of heartwarming quadrupeds that all deserve much better than the histories they [...]
