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.

Juno wrote masticated the book on crime and punishment, while the cracker policed her misdemeanors.

Smooth Talker

Remember how I wrote that Loki and Juno would call off horses and cows?  Apparently some distractions are too hard to resist. Like this hunk of burnin' love above.   Juno caught the scent on this distinguished fella and recalling was futile.  He was equally smittin with Juno.
