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.
Things are still not good in the House of Dingo. Juno is still very sick. Her fever has not broken and she's been on Baytril for several days. Her fever should have broken by now. Today it was 104.8. She wouldn't eat any meat this morning, though she ate a ton of chickn last night. […]
That's what the radiologist said yesterday, repeatedly about Juno. Can you believe that? Juno's a lot of things, but "boring" isn't one of them! Insulting! Here's how the conversation between my vet, Dogtor Hilary, and the Radiologist went: Heart and valves: "Boring." Lungs: "Boring" Kidneys & Adrenals: "Boring" Liver: "Boring." Oh! O.K. that's what we want […]
First off, we at Wild Dingo are overwhelmed with the all the warm wishes that have been tossed our way for Juno Belle. Overwhelmed. Thank you so much for all the warm wishes, thoughts and comments that keep rolling in. Juno is home tonight, resting next to her cone of shame, which is there in […]
Juno's in the hospital. Since Thursday she's had a fever of 104. Thinking it was viral or mild flu, the vet had given her anti-inflamatory to bring down the fever. On Saturday, I had to bring her in as it was not returning to normal and she was not walking well. She ran blood tests […]
"Hey that dame at the end with the high kick looks familiar." "Can it Loki. Kick higher! We're not going to make the cut with hamstrings like that."
Randomly falling trees are no fun when one is snoozing peacefully or playing tug in the back yard with the TravelMarx. And since we had two trees fall so early in the winter season, Loki and Juno took matters into their own paws and rented a backhoe, hired a few helpers with opposable thumbs and decided to […]
"We had absolutlely nothing to do with this. And if you ask one more question, we're calling our lawyer."
Wow a week has gone by quickly. Everything has gone smoothly inspite of a nearby wildfire, a wind storm, a fallen tree, and a few power outages. Juno and Loki have been great sports, great fun and good company. We celebrated our last full day together with two raw bones. Yummy. Only one day to […]
Bulletin for Mom and Pop: all is well but we miss you. We tried interrogating the visitor by licking him but it didn't work. He won't reveal your whereabouts. We will work on him some more. He has gotten better at keeping shoes hidden - did you or your friends say something to him? Where […]
All is well. I can almost walk around without constantly checking my instruction packet. German commands just bubble out of me without any effort. Juno and Loki have been patient with us whether it's getting up in the morning or assembling their meals. Yesterday we played a lot in the yard. Today, we played and […]
