Phthph! This month’s masthead is totally sappy. I don’t do sappy well. I hemmed and hawed. I kicked and stammered. But Mr. Wild Dingo, who’s even less sappier than me, twisted my arm and told me to run it. It’s just as well. This week, I’m giving a yoga class themed on love in light [...]
This month’s header is dedicated to my favorite song by Prince that I’ve been playing on my iPod whenever I ride the indoor bike trainer. Shortly after returning home from Istanbul, I got serious about solving my health problems. I was pretty sick this summer before my London trip in July. Remember how I fell [...]
I’m so depressed. This time last year we had a Winter Woonderland. There was fresh snow and visiting family. Now, there isn’t a flake of snow in sight. How could I top last year’s masthead?
“Princess, where are we going?” “Daddy-O, we are already there.”
When I met Mr. Wild Dingo, his home was filled with tons of sun themes. I like the sun. I like sunny days. But if given the choice of my favorite celestial object, sun, moon or stars, I’ll pick the moon every time. And autumn harvest moons are my favorites. I don’t know why I’m [...]
It seems like yesterday that we arrived here in Switzerland, but it was already a year ago. Time flies when you’re walking dogs in a beautiful country. The harvest is here. The kids are back in school. Last year at this time we were just beginning to explore the farms and though now they are so [...]
I know what you’re thinking. There’s no dog in this month’s masthead. But like the real Europeans they’ve become, Loki and Juno insisted on taking this month off from working, like everyone else. Don’t worry, their regular photos will back this week. I convinced them that taking time off modeling for a masthead was like a [...]
This month’s masthead came from an outing we did just yesterday in Lausanne, at a Parc Vidy. We met up with another Anglophone who had been advertising dog walks in this area for a while now. This place rocks. Lausanne loves dogs and provides plenty of areas for them to be on or off leash in fenced [...]
This month’s masthead is dedicated to my inability to shut my bottom jaw anytime I’m walking the villages and vineyards in Switzerland. Someone needs to pinch me because sometimes I can’t believe I live here, even if it’s only temporary.
I had another masthead for May in mind but Mr. Wild Dingo insisted on more tulips. Because it’s obvious you all haven’t had enough of them. Obviously the headline is referring to my national blunder of accidentally insulting the Morges Tulip Festival. Not only can dogs see the color yellow, but my answer reflected nothing about [...]
Thanks to the TravelMarx for the pun, I have my theme for April. Actually it couldn’t be more fitting. As Mr. Wild Dingo and I continue to massacre the French language, we are forgetting how to speak English. The French use the verb “faire” (to do or to make) quite a bit as in “faire cuire,” which [...]
This month’s header is dedicated to the book. It seems I’m living my own version of Eat, Pray, Love, here in Switzerland– doggie-style. After all, dogs are the epitome of perfect yogi’s.
February’s masthead is dedicated to justice. And why wouldn’t it? Dispensing justice is a way of life here at Wild Dingo. With Loki’s cujo-cracker behavior, Juno’s regular mastications and my daily skillet beatings, err, training sessions, it’s a regular San Chillon here. Ever since we discovered chateaus themed in justice dispensing here in Switzerland, the dog’s have been petitioning [...]
What is a dove, But a pigeon With higher aspirations. May your new year be filled with Hopes and dreams attained, Peace and prosperity gained, And may you be, Nobody’s pigeon.
December’s masthead celebrates our new adventures in a new climate. Neither dog has ever experienced snow so it has been a blast taking in their delight and wonder at the powdery stuff. At first Juno seemed indifferent to the weather, but the more the snow falls, the more she seems to enchanted with it. She savors being belly-deep in [...]
This month’s masthead features another stunning photo right outside our office window taken from this photo below. The dogs are settling in and are finally starting to appreciate living here. Loki’s resigned himself to “making do” with this terrible living arrangement. One look out the window on any given day and we all [...]
This month’s masthead is dedicated to adjusting to life as we now know it. All four of us have shown various signs of coping. Loki specifically has shown his coping strategies quite explicitly. Some days it breaks my heart. Other days, it makes me want to leap for joy to see him cope so eloquently. Juno [...]
Well now I’ve done it. I’ve gone and caused chaos for the canines. How dare I. Their entire world as they’ve known it has been turned upside down–starting with that dog-awful 13-hour jail sentence. And now they don’t have their luxurious home, their dog door, their tree house, NitWit Bridge or acres of land to [...]
May’s banner is dedicated to the beginning of beginning a new beginning. “Come again,” you say? It’s been almost 6 months since we knew about our move to Luasanne, Switerzland. And funny enough, we were informed the entire process would take only as long as 12 weeks. It’s been about 12 weeks longer than the 12 week [...]
This month’s masthead conveys the results of what April Showers may bring. I never know what I’m going to do for my monthly masthead until I sit down at the computer. And I’m always amazed at the metaphors I subconsciously conjure. Yes, I had a Flower Power post earlier. But honestly, we all know Juno is [...]
