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 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.

WTF? Wednesday

Masticatory Party

She prefers leather and animal made shoes and has avoided destroying the synthetic stuff. Nothing but the real deal for my masticator! "Ya, […]

Second to One

A few months ago, there was a little fun competition at our training school. The competition involved the fastest time weaving the dog through pylon cones and downing the dog on a rubber mat, off-leash, without touching the dog. Nobody could practice ahead of time. It was up to the handler to decide best how […]
