Before we go, Loki and Juno would like to share some memories of their adventures in a town named for cats. “Hey Handsome, how about you and me paint this “cat” town a little canine before we blow out of here?” “Cupcake, you crack the whip, I’ll make trip.”
I’m a bit obsessed lately with soaking up the coastline. There’s something about living near a coastline that feels free. You’d think I’d have spent all my free time at the beach, but like a lot of us in Silicon Valley, I took it for granted. I guess it takes moving to a country without [...]
“Hey Daddy-O, how much you think this job pays?” “Princess, there isn’t a big enough, juicy enough bone in the world to make me do this job.”
After surfing the waves, Loki and Juno chill out at the beaches’ namesake, it’s Lighthouse. “Hey Princess, check out that chick behind me staring at us. We must be celebrities, no?”
As Beach Bums continues, we find our lead characters in the throws of drama. “Oh my dawg Princess! There’s a labradoink out there in the big scary waters trying to kill a scary beast!” “We must save him!”
As in WTF is Loki doing in this photo below? “Seriously Big Boy. This is no time to get your Daily Om on!” Ahhh… so that’s what he was doing:
Yesterday was beach day at Wild Dingo. In the 2 years I’ve had the beasts, I don’t know why I have not done anything remotely beach-fun oriented with them. Oh, yeah, I forgot. The cracker. I’ve been wanting to go to a dog friendly beach for a while now to see how they’d like the ocean. [...]
All 17 readers of Wild Dingo may have noticed posting has been light these past few weeks. As our move to Lausanne is starting to become a reality, we’ve been rushing to get our current home in good shape so that we don’t come back to a disaster. That means having a new well installed, trees cut, [...]
“Hey Principessa, whatchya doin’ up there?” “Sitting atop my throne, contemplating how nice it is to be Queen.”
We’re getting ready for a busy weekend, starting with a day of errands downtown with the beasts today, then all-day training on Saturday hopefully followed up by Sunday morning SAR practice with Loki. I haven’t done SAR with him in months. I hope he knows what to do! Here are a few random photos to [...]
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. [...]
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!”
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.”
“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?”
It was Mardi Gras weekend at Wild Dingo. Now I know why that rediculously tall guy in the back holding onto the beam asked me if I dusted up there. For the record, I do. Luckily he doesn’t hang on to my chandeliers or his fingers would be gray!
“Hi Mom. Whatchya want?” “Hey Daddy-O. Looks like Mom’s fixin’ to ask us to do some work.”
For Christmas I bought a Chase It toy from Planet Blue Dog for the two to share. Talk about minimal effort to exercise your dog. This thing is like crack to them. Especially if you have a cracker insane dog like Loki. These are a few photos from a day after Christmas playing with the toy. Um, Darwin, [...]
Why in the world would I take my dogs to the dog park and then make them do obedience exercises? Because its fun. Because I’m mean. (Booowhahahha!) Because I love our trainer’s motto: obedience, anytime, anyplace, under any circumstance. Most of all, because I can. Loki was and still is a reactive, alert dog. When I [...]
Sierra (a sweet German Shepherd puppy) and her mom Christine came for an unplanned visit last night. Loki, Juno and I were headed out the door to go to our beach class when the phone rang. Christine’s car was broke down about a mile from my house. She was headed to the same class. So [...]
A few short months after Juno came to live with us, she put on a few pounds that made her a little more than, ahem, voluptuous. With good dieting, and a change to raw food, she’s shed 6 lbs and has that last stubborn 2 - 3 lbs to go. (hmm…maybe I should go raw too.) Juno’s given [...]
