I meet the nicest people, and sometimes my closest friends, when I’m walking or hiking with the dogs. From the start, you’ve already got something in common: sharing a passion for the great outdoors with canine companions.

Mona, the beagle, gazes adoringly at the tall-eared, dark and handsome fella. She dreams of spending quiet evenings alone with her gallant knight. Love is blind. Juno would be happy to unload him for a few days. If she only knew.

“Hey Loki, I’m gonna annoy you until I win and you will bow to my cuteness!”

“Hey, I have to tell you a puppeh secret.”

“When I grow up I want to be just like Loki.” “You’d better start doing something about those ears and cranking up the cracker little fella.”

Aslan’s mom, Marita, and her daughter Elenor, invited me to attend Aslan’s puppy class. OMG, like I’m gonna pass up the opportunity for all that puppy breath and puppy shenanigans?

“Hello Mr. Wild Dingo! You seem like a cool guy. Will you be my best friend forever?” “Pop! Say it isn’t so! Don’t fall for this little pest’s cuteness!”

Since we arrived in the ‘hood, Ludwig and his two sisters have been asking their parents for a dog. Marita, Ludwig’s mom and mother of two girls, plus 2 pet rabbits, had grown up on a farm and knew the responsiblity of a dog was heavy. All of her children are accomplished in school and various activities [...]

Earlier this month, Mr. Wild Dingo and I spent some time with visiting friends, touring as many of Switzerland’s attractions as possible. On one of the days we visited Chillon Castle, a historic monument in Montreaux that was constructed under several periods in history: the Savoy (11th century), the Bernese era (16th century) and the Vaudois [...]

The TravelMarx left on Friday, after spending two extra days being snowed in with airport and airline shut downs. I really hated seeing them leave. Yes, those are my new boots I’m modeling in the photo. Don’t worry. I already bought another pair by now. One specifically for dog walking. I’m thinking I need at least [...]

While Wild Dingo’s personal photographer, TravelMarx, are excellent at taking photos, they have fallen below average in downloading the most recent to Wild Dingo’s computer. So while they’re doing some boring, fascinating tour of some Nuclear & Partical Physics Lab in Geneva, (yawn), I’m posting the rest of the photos from our weeked of funballs time [...]

Loki and Juno had their first snow, ever yesterday. Juno seemed to like it fine, but Loki really surprised us. He loved it. For a dog afraid to get his footsies wet or walk on metal grates or metal ground covers, he didn’t even notice the white stuff was cold or wet. I don’t think [...]

It took 3.5 seconds for Loki and Juno to recognize the TravelMarx. When I opened the door to let the dogs in to greet them, Marc leaned down half way to pet Juno, she lept in the air and met him half way, planting a Siberian kiss smack on his face. It made me melt. [...]

“Hey Princess, Mom says the TravelMarx are coming to visit. Do you remember them?” “Sure I do, Big Boy. They visited us last year and stayed with us when Mom and Pop deserted us for a week.” “They took us on nice hikes.”‘ “And played tug with me every minute of the day! Sigh. They [...]

Last month Wild Dingo had a special visitor stay for a few days: Princess Ella and her folks. Loki and Juno have met plenty of children in public but never had any to the house and never one so small. I admit, I was a bit worried about an accidental pet-child injury since either dog [...]

Last week this little guy came to visit with his dad who was working on our outdoor masonary project : “Hello! My name is True. And I will be your mason today. “
