Diary of a Dog Nut

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 was going to cover up their butt-holes for obvious reasons, but then I realized, butt-holes are a part of real life and unavoidable. Like the kinds you run into while on a pleasant dog walk, bothering nobody […]

Garden Gnomes

"Princess, Garden Gnomes were a huge hit at the Chelsea Flower Show this year, but these garden gnomes sure are odd looking." "They aren't garden gnomes, Daddy-O, they're reproductions in metal, of one of your not-so-distant cousins."

Sights Scene

It's funny. I always thought you saw a lot more by bike than you could by car or by foot. But each has its own merits  I see more by foot sometimes, meandering around a flowerbed while the dogs  take their time taking in all the scents.
