This blog began in 2005 with a silly press release about my dingo, Maggie, and her nemesis, Monsieur Le Pew. In 2008, I rescued the cracker, Loki. I never had a high drive working dog so I did what every new dog owner does when they are in over their heads with a busy dog. I adopted a second dog, a husky, to "keep him busy." I know, Internet, I know. I didn't actually make my life easier. I just had more work. Life with the cracker and the criminal was filled with adventures and hard life lessons. Juno wrote masticated the book on crime and punishment, while the cracker policed her misdemeanors.
164/365 It's hard to believe that such an innocent face can hide years of criminal activities! She's destroyed countless Danskos (8 pairs), flip-flops (5 pairs), purses (2), mail, catalogs and books (9). She's overturned numerous trash cans, torn through toilet paper rolls, crunched at least 3 pairs of eye glasses. She's chewed up packets of […]

That is, after Mom gives us that treat she promised for waiting for her.” That's my Siberian. Always prioritizing treats […]
149/365 "You think it's funny seeing a tough guy with a security blanket?" "Let me tell you something. The mojo? It comes from my ears." "The courage and the crack-a-tude? That comes from some sweet snuggle time with my own personal blankie." "Just try to take it from me. You won't think it's so funny […]
Loki holds high standards for clear communication. He takes pee-mail seriously.

I haven't been to the ocean in a while. I tried several times when I started treating Lyme, but the sun and the reflections off the water set off my neuro symptoms so badly that I've avoided it for about a year now. An odd thing about having Lyme disease is that you don't miss things […]
This is what my husky does when I’m doing my macro photo thing. For those who don’t know huskies, this is rare, extraordinary--remarkable! She patiently waits for me to finish my thing and doesn’t run off to the next county, state, or country like most huskies would do. I have no idea how she learned […]
