My whole life, balance has been a recurring theme. And in dog handling, it's no different. Green grass and rolling hills. Tons of places for dogs to safely run. It's what I envisioned when Mr. Wild Dingo proposed moving to Switzerland.
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.

"Do I look silly in these jodhpurs? I could take them off if you'd like."
Loki and I want to thank everyone who was worried about his broken wag. But fear not. It's only temporary. In fact, his tail is already at half-mast and half-wag. He's still sensitive to touch in that area, but full-mast tail motion is likely by Sunday. Let's just hope he didn't have a set back when he […]
THIS is my magnificent Formosan/German Shepherd dog in all his gorgeousity. Notice the natural position of his tail, held at full-mast 95% of his waking hours. THIS is my sad Formosan/German Shepherd dog with a Limp Tail:
Post Traumatic Siberian Stare otherwise known as Post Bath Stink-Eye. "I'm so documenting this in my memoires of the abuse and traumas I'm subjected to."
Since her weigh-in on January 28, Juno lost 2.2 lbs. She was 30kg (66 lbs) and is now down to 29 kg (63.8 lbs), but that's still too high. She needs to lose 2 more kg (4 lbs). When researching raw-feeding, I read that a 60 lb dog will roughly need about 500 grams of food per day. […]
One of the things I love about Loki is his ability to go from zero to completely crackers in 3.5 seconds--for no reason. He'll suddenly bust into circle sprints: tail and butt tucked under, ears flat back, mouth wide open, eyes dialed wild and paws in full-throttle. Yesterday, Juno busted out the crack-a-tude too-- for no apparent reason: Oh yeah, her body language meets all […]
I'm no green thumb. It's true. But since I'm now cooking quite heavily and enjoy using fresh herbs over dried, TravelMarx encouraged me to try caring for and growing some herbs, because what's the worst that can happen, right? I mean, I've had the dogs for almost three years now and for better or worse, they […]
It seems the Swiss love a little cracker to go with all that cheese! We met and walked with Tina, a 9-year old Jack Russel Terror who had plenty of her own crack-a-tude for my cracker and criminal. "Hey little lady, you got some kind of cracked out chutzpuh! I think we like ya."
Mr. Wild Dingo is home. Loki is ecstatic to have his ultimate tug partner back. Juno's thrilled to have the object of her disdain back. Nothing like a few husky huffs of disapproval to score some bites of French bread. The photo below was taken a few weeks ago on one of the docks in Morges. […]
