Starking Delicious

Starking Delicious!

I've been wanting to use this photo for over a year. I can't think of a more appropriate time than now.

Nine and a half days.  I made it through 9 and a half days of a 10 day fast. Yup. I was short just 8 hours.  You may be saying "Doh! You were so close! Why did you blow it?" Internet, I swear, it wasn't my fault. (more…)

Kilroy wuz here

"What is that?" (more…)

Girly Man

"Aw, Mom. I really hate this girly skirt you make me wear on cold days. I will only wear it in the woods where nobody can see me and not in town where all the cool dogs are." (more…)

Simply Irresistible!

This woman is invincible
Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable
She's so completely kissable!" (more…)

Dude! I'll never make fun of your pearly whites again!

"Dude! I swear. I was just bustin' your crank!"
"If you can dish it out, you'd better take it little man!" (more…)

The Clearest Way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness

We've been spending our holiday vacation balancing time between the forest wilderness and the wilderness of unpacked moving boxes and heaps of stuff that needs to be recycled, donated or thrown out. Slowly we're making our way into an organized home. The old me wouldn't do anything else until the house was unpacked and settled in. But the dogs teach me to take things slower and ignore the boxes that aren't urgent and get out to enjoy the outdoors with them.  (more…)

The first official header I ever did for Wild Dingo in 2009 was a photo of these two, newly thrown-together siblings, snuggling, just like this. It seems some things never change.

There's a great comfort in that. Because returning to a familiar place after living in an entirely different world for two years, changes you. It changes your behaviors, your values and your desires. (more…)

"Princess, this train sure looks fun. I wonder how fast it goes?"

"Trust me Big Boy. There's a lot more horse power in my Siberian jodphurs than that Swiss version of the TGV." (more…)

It's harvest time. Fall is the beginning of an end. And yet the colors are breath-taking. Beautiful, yet final. (more…)


"Princess, that chateau sure looks inviting."
"That's right, Big Boy. Finally a dog house perfectly sized for barbarian ears."
