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.

While she was […]

Raw Torture

Yesterday was "raw bone" day at Wild Dingo. Juno always gets the smaller bone because she's a bit chubby again. Also, Loki takes about 40 minutes to eat his bone while Juno takes about 4 hours to finish hers.  It was still really wet outside (where they usually eat them) so I used old blankets they are allowed to […]

Storm and Post-Storm Activities

The Internet Service is back! Woo hoo!  Hmm... Now what to do? What to do? Shall I start by catching up on work? Or shall I start by blogging about what we did during the two days with no power (though we have a kick-ass generator)  and no Internet?  Silly question! During an emergency, a Siberian […]

WTF? Wednesday

As in "WTF was that yesterday?" Constant downpour, 40 mph winds, no dog walk, no playing in the yard, and a big boom that woke us up. "WTF is going on here?" Buddy, I feel for you. Really.

A Husky with a Shoe Fetish

For the record, this is not where I leave my shoes. "Um, seriously mom, your taste in shoes needs to change, and fast." Just what I need. A Siberian with fashion sense.
