Need a little distraction from reality? Here is an unpolished collection of the weird, the silly, and the sometimes serious at Wild Dingo. It's a blog about nothing, yet about everything. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll even learn something. But this is not a writing sample. It's just a place to kick back and crack open a cool Core's 16-ouncer and lose yourself in the kooky.
Every now and then, Mr. Wild Dingo and I will put on an old play list and this song by Tom Waits will play. Every time without fail, one of us will always say, "Maggie's song." It was very clear how seasons affected Maggie, especially later in life. In January, her mood and energy would […]
"WTF did woo do to my Princess Juno?"
"Princess, this crate's not big enough for two dogs." About a month or two ago, Loki suddenly developed a deep fear of his crate. He's gone through highs and lows with his crate but for the most part, he loves his crate, because we played tons and tons of crate games before moving to Switzerland. […]
"It's a shame that Mother Nature did not provide humans with the superior dirt-repelling qualities enjoyed by all Siberians." As usual, Juno has a point. It's quite amazing---shocking if you will---how clean she stays for the amount of dirt she gets her furry self into. Siberians may be long furred but they stay unusually clean […]
Juno has a way of letting everyone know that it's time for a rest. She's very good at asking politely. Who could refuse that face? And who could refuse such a great idea?
"Princess, gambling is a sure way of getting nothing for something." "Big Boy, it's not gambling when you never lose!" We've had a strange week and lady luck has not been on our side. The criminal tried to have herself a solo adventure (thankfully the cracker stuck to her like glue) and the cracker […]
Fresh air and exercise agrees with everyone. According to Mr. Wild Dingo, who noticed Juno's elevated mood lately as she teased Loki into games of tug and play: "There's just something about good exercise that agrees with the husky." Huh. Who needs health studies and medical associations to tell us the obvious? If the husky's […]
"Princess, I don't think we're alone!" Operation Jodhpurs Bulk-Up is now underway. Getting ready for our second mountain bike ride was a real treat. Juno practically did cartwheels around the garden as I put the bike rack on the car and loaded up the mountain bike gear. She knew where were going and she was […]
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could combine two of my favorite things: cycling and dogs. Sure, I've seen it done by others. But they didn't have a cracker or a criminal for their dogs. And sure, we've ridden the safe and easy paved farm roads in Switzerland where we could […]
This is the face of accomplishment. Notice the husky's mask is a little more dustier than usual. Her white areas now blackened in soot. We have a few redwood tree stumps on our property that were destroyed by a forest fire over 100 years ago. Burned tree stumps must make a comfortable home for vermin because […]
