Welcome Home Big Daddy!

After three long weeks, Mr. Wild Dingo returned home. Both dogs were ecstatic. Even Juno showered him with kisses and wiggles, though she usually saves them only for me. So yesterday we went on a family walk to the tree farm so we could show Big Daddy how well behaved these two could be off-leash. [...]

Making Friends

It’s Tree Farm week at Wild Dingo. At the Tree Farm, we run into many friendly peeps and their dogs on the trail. “Come on slackers! I don’t have all day! There are squirrels to chase and things to smell!”

Total Recall

Siberian Husky owners, you may want to avert your eyes. Because what you’re about to see may give you nightmares and is so horrific it isn’t shown on TV. It may raise your blood pressure or even cause heart failure.  What you are about to see is shocking, frightening and down right against the laws [...]

 
He's Not Just the President of the Hair Club for Dogs

  He’s also a client. That’s the last of the husky spring fur recycling program. And just in time. I’m all out of jokes.

Siberian Smack Down

Our Loki has a penis the size of “heroic” proportions. For the definition of “heroic proportions” see Michelangelo’s David and you’ll understand why. (Hint: big muscles=small willy.) “Ya, that’s right. I’m the man.”

WTF? Wednesday

“WTF are you doing to my Juno Dogtor?” 

 
In the Immortal Words of Todd Rundgren

“Iiiiiii don’t wanna work. Iiiiiiii wanna bite on the sibe all daaaay!” “Err, Mom? Can you please take me to Dogtor Hilary and have this growth removed?”

 
He Works Hard for His Chicken

I’m back from the land of the Cyber-dead, since my ISP is now back up and working. I will catch up with the SocNet scene soon! The last few weeks I’ve been working Loki and Juno on different behaviors. Here’s Loki below (in the videos, not the photo!) doing some retrieve, directed jumping and heeling [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

 
Escalator Vs. Cracked-Out Dog. Guess Who Wins?

Thursday night we joined our training group for training in a closed-down retail store. There are lots of obstacles such as elevators and escalators, and retail equipment to tunnel through. It’s good training for dogs in service such as Therapy Dogs (like Juno) and cracked-up dogs (like Loki). “Princess I don’t know about you, but I [...]

 
Mango Minster Entry #2: Loki J. Starling & Bonus Entry

Since Juno’s alpha doggie around here, Loki had to wait his turn to compile his entry for Mango Minster . He’s been patient (ha!) so lets get right to it. Naturally first we thought of the Herding category since he is half German Shepherd, but the only photo we could find was this:   But lets face it. Loki [...]
