Beauty Queen

Someone loves his Furminator.  ”Do me a solid and make me pretty.”

 
They Call Him ... Loki Lugano

It’s easy to see why Italians love Loki and why he fits so well into their lively culture. His fine sense of style: “Does this hat make my ears look big?”

She's Perfect

“She’s perfect,” said Juno’s Physical Torturer, Therapist, Mme. Gauthier. She noticed Juno’s walking gate was a perfect long, stress-free stride. Juno rolls her eyes. “Sibes don’t come any other way lady.”

 
The Methodology of Shoe Tasting

Recently, I went to a wine tasting in Lausanne. Scratch that. It was a wine appreciation because they served hors d’ouvres with each wine to help understand how wine flavor can be balanced with food. I don’t know much about how to taste wine or pair it with food, so it was a great experience.  Who knew [...]

 
We're Not the Sharpest Knives in the Drawer

Sometimes I think Mr. Wild Dingo and I are the lowest common denominator here in Switzerland. Language difficulties aside, even the picture signage here can be confusing. From the comments listed on the last post, I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels a little out of the loop. Sometimes you have a sign [...]

 
Please Don't Call Me by My Real Name, It Destroys the Reality I'm Trying to Create

“Do  I look silly in these jodhpurs? I could take them off if you’d like.”

For the Ladies

Loki and I want to thank everyone who was worried about his broken wag. But fear not. It’s only temporary. In fact, his tail is already at half-mast and half-wag. He’s still sensitive to touch in that area, but full-mast tail motion is likely by Sunday. Let’s just hope he didn’t have a set back when he [...]

If Looks Could Kill

Post Traumatic Siberian Stare otherwise known as Post Bath Stink-Eye. “I’m so documenting this in my memoires of the abuse and traumas I’m subjected to.”

 
This is a Story of...MURDER!

I’m no green thumb. It’s true. But since I’m now cooking quite heavily and enjoy using fresh herbs over dried, TravelMarx encouraged me to try caring for and growing some herbs, because what’s the worst that can happen, right? I mean, I’ve had the dogs for almost three years now and for better or worse, they [...]

Doggie Ga-Ga

Someone here at Wild Dingo has a Ga-Ga crush. (Hint: It’s not me.) “My mama told me when I was young, We are all born superstars”

Junk in His Trunk

A friend from the states recently noted that Loki gained a little weight. “He filled out since I last saw him,” he said  when he first saw Loki this month. He last saw Loki in August, just 6 months ago. Oops. “Big Boy, you give new meaning to your nick name! But you’re not Sibe enough to [...]

Les Chiens Noirs

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 [...]

If the Shoe Fits

Oddly with a title like that, this post is not about Juno! It’s about Loki. Mr. Wild Dingo often comments that I portray Loki as dumb. Then I remind him that it was he who nicknamed him Retardo Montalban. And as much as I’d love to use that name on this blog, I know it [...]

 
"I Get No Respect"

“I just don’t understand why everyone laughs at me all the time.”

 
I Don't Make this Stuff Up

So I come home after a long day of shopping and toss out some new toys for the dogs to keep them busy while I put things away. Both dogs are starving for some action. Loki especially misses training and working. He’s desperate to play with anyone. Even at the expense of his own dignity. As [...]

 
Cream Puff vs. Iron Dog

“Hey Big Boy, now that you’re an Iron Dog, let’s see how much Iron you’re really made of.”

No Dogs on the Bed

That’s the rule at Wild Dingo. “That’s ridiculous. Clearly she can see there are two dogs on this bed.”

April Fools

Um, I’m not falling for it.

 
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.”
