In Like a Lion

This month’s masthead celebrates the weather we seem to be experiencing across the U.S. Even in Northern California, March has rolled in on a week of more rain and storms.

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:

Happy Woo Year!

A day late and a dollar short on my masthead this month. I must be setting the stage for low expectations for the coming months!  This month’s header celebrates the blue moon we had on New Year’s Eve 2009. Apparently, the next time we will see a blue moon on New Year’s eve is 2028. [...]

Mastheads 2009

In 2009 I committed to changing my masthead every month because I always grew so weary with my site design. What I was really bored with was the concept, not so much the colors or layout. So I decided to switch out my masthead monthly so it would feel fresh each month. Turns out, it [...]

Dingo Bells

“MUSH!” Hmmm. What’s wrong with this banner? Something seems a bit, oh I don’t know, unusual! Like, isn’t the husky supposed to pull the sleigh, not sit in it? December’s banner celebrates Juno’s ability to make everyone, including Loki, giggle with delight and bend to her will using only her Siberian charm. Over the past year, [...]

 
The Other White Meat

  November’s masthead is dedicated to the softer side of Wild Dingo — that would be Mr. Wild Dingo. The original story board was Loki and Juno chasing a turkey. Loki with an axe in his mouth, Juno with a fork, knife and napkin. The caption was going to read, “It’s just a friendly game [...]

 
Rhymes with "Boo"

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 [...]

 
Engineered for Nitwits

This month’s masthead feature’s NitWit Bridge. I’ve mentioned NitWit bridge a few times to friends and occasionally on this site. I even featured a few of the photos in an old gallery that no longer exists. But I never really told its story. I’ve neglected featuring photos or mentioning it because it was so closely tied to Maggie, [...]

 
Miles Away from the Behaved

Loki & Juno holiday annually on the Isle of the Ill-Behaved   This month’s masthead celebrates a year’s worth of obedience lessons that has resulted in common passerby claiming, “they’re such good dogs,” or, “they’re really obedient” and my favorite, “they’re so well-behaved!” If they only knew.

 
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Hot Dogs

This month’s masthead celebrates one of America’s favorite junk foods. I don’t think I would ever got the Husky to do a single thing without the magic of hot dogs. Marker training rules. Even for low drive dogs, like the Husky. Loki? He’ll do anything just for his marker word and some praise. For a hot dog, [...]

Don't Fence Me In

This month’s banner is dedicated to Juno and her tenacity to escape any man-made device to keep her contained in one 3000 square-foot area. It really is absurd how hard we try to keep her from her natural roaming desires and to think that we could out smart her crafty ways. She’s biten through wires, cables, [...]

Born to be Wild!

The trainer that Loki and Juno work with once said that huskies were “wild” dogs and not really meant to be domestic, or something along those lines. I could be mincing words so don’t get up in my grill about his exact words or disagreeing with his opinion. He’s an experienced K9 police dog trainer [...]

 
In the Dog Yard No One Can Hear You Scream

Before anyone calls the local cruelty police, take a gander at how I arrived at this month’s banner. That’s Loki’s “Game on!” face. If you didn’t know him and saw that face, you’d most likely have an accident in your pants. But when you know him, and see that face, it makes you laugh so [...]

 
Please Leash Your Alligator

The last two months its been really hard to say goodbye to the previous month’s masthead. I grow attached to them and it’s sad to see them archived. Then as I develop the new one, I start to smile and enjoy the process of creating something silly and fun. I’ve had this image for four or [...]

 
All's Fair in Love and Tug-of-War

Notice anything a little different on Wild Dingo? I can’t pull the wool over your eyes Internet. It’s a known fact I get bored easily with my designs, so I’ll be featuring new mastheads every month. Don’t worry, if you get nostalgic for the old ones,  just click to the category mastheads to the side [...]

 
Building Web Sites One Nap at a Time

First masthead for the 2009 design. It was a no-brainer. These two are too cute for words. Loki looks like he’s being sweet, but what’s really going on in his head is “I own you sugar cube!”
