“There’s nothing worse than soaking wet Jodhpurs!” The only downside of the dogs vacationing at Bernard’s is that in the winter, they come home smelling like smoke. All dogs are indoor dogs at Bernard’s, and he and his wife seem to be smokers. But it’s a small price to pay for the luxury of having them stay in a “home” [...]
If you told me 10 years ago, I would adopt a lunatic dog from Taiwan with a serious case of crackery-nosis, maybe I would believe you. But if you told me I would be journaling his ridiculous behavior on the Web and writing in his ridiculous tough-guy Raymond Chandler voice, I’d laugh and ask you who [...]
“Hey Daddy-O, you have a peculiar smell, like you’ve been rollin’ a little on the much side.” “Doll, it’s not peculiar, just unihibited. A nice long roll in the local l’eau de vache. Wanna give it a try?”
Remember how I wrote that Loki and Juno would call off horses and cows? Apparently some distractions are too hard to resist. Like this hunk of burnin’ love above. Juno caught the scent on this distinguished fella and recalling was futile. He was equally smittin with Juno.
Mr. Wild Dingo and I took a walk into Morges on Sunday evening at sunset. It was bitter cold so we tried out Loki’s new coat. It was fairly easy to put on him, and he seemed happy enough to wear it, until it was time to go on the walk. He refused to leave [...]
It was a crisp morning, with just enough snap in the air to make life seem simple and sweet if you didn’t have too much on your mind. Juno did. “Love is such a dull word. It amazes me that the English language so rich in the poetry of love can accept such a feeble [...]
Rarely, do I ever catch Juno looking like or acting like a goofball, or worse, cracker. She’s much too sly for the camera to catch her looking less than perfect. But every now and then, I’m able to catch her behaving just as cracked out as Loki, who is pretty much cracker whenever he’s not [...]
“Hey sugar lips. Looks like I got you behind the eight ball. Are you going to make a move?” “You must be cruisin’ with your lights on dim if you think you have me cornered.”
Yesterday was “raw bone” day at Wild Dingo. Juno always gets the smaller bone because she’s a bit chubby again. Also, Loki takes about 40 minutes to eat his bone while Juno takes about 4 hours to finish hers. It was still really wet outside (where they usually eat them) so I used old blankets they are allowed to [...]
“Hey Big Daddy, there’s a whole world out there waitin’ for a little Formosan-Siberian action.”
“Hey Cupcake, in my book, you’re way upstairs.” For a moment she almost believes him. His face was as smooth as an angel’s wing. “Ha,” she replies, “Put that in writing and I’ll paste it in my scrapebook.”
“Hey Daddy, O. Who’s that black lab at the end of the bench? He’s dogging us. Doesn’t seem to care if we know it or not.” “Cupcake, ain’t nothin’ you can tell me I don’t already know.”
I’m a day behind in posting, so instead of posting a Wordless Wednesday photo like many of the extended pack, I’m going to post a Thoughtless Thursday– old photos that don’t take much too much thought. Wild Dingo has guests this week so posting will be light for the rest of the week. I know Wild Dingo’s 3 readers [...]
Remember that Go Orange Photoshoot Wild Dingo participated in a few months ago? Well, shockingly we did not win or even make the final five. But then again, though they were rescued, they weren’t rescued from an SPCA. For now, I resurrected some of the shots that didn’t make the cut for the shoot. Friday Fivers [...]
“Hey Daddy-O, this class is cramping my style. Let’s make like a tree and leave.” “Keep talking. I got a lot of room left in my ears yet.”
I grinned at her. The little husky on the floor, upside down, smiling a fluffy smile. She looked playful and eager, but not quite sure of herself, like a new kitten in a house where they don’t care much for kittens.
We’ve been busy at Wild Dingo, photo shooting our “Go Orange” photos in support of Prevention of Animal Cruelty month. Loki and Juno are glad to support the cause. Loki is a happily working dog and has no complaints. He does his job. He gets paid. End of story. And he does his job spectacularly well. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
