Just returned from a walk with Pindan ( time here 5pm ) i swear i have just ran a marathon , still have one arm in a sling so keeping balance and managing this all over the place boy is hard work made harder when walking down the high way pindan finds a recently run over bob tail goanna, oh for heaven sake no way I say , you’d think he had never been fed , he grabs this squashed goanna and starts munching and I’m dry reaching and cars are screaming past and I’m telling him to drop it and he’s got intestines hanging out of his mouth looking cross eyed and defiant, he aint going to drop it , so we are having this fight and he is spitting angry and i just want to throw up, it obviously didn’t taste to great judging by the frown on his face. I just stood while he chewed and then he spat it out , we proceeded to argue all the way home , him grumbling recons its my fault , im glad it tasted like crap hope you get a belly ache, i tell him you want to bring stuff like that home you carry it .
Dingo Diary
Old girl’s blood test
Old girl’s blood test today revealed she has high white blood count ,not enough red , she is anemic ,and indicates something more sinister, vet thinks cancer , but where and how bad we do not know and can not financially cover all tests to investigate , we are fortunate to have her treated with the privilege of time to pay . In saying that we would think very carefully on the invasive and intrusive procedures required for one of her years . Her ears were very bad as was expected , she was sedated and ears once again cleaned and treated ,obviously this would have been and is very painfull , and once again we continue with treatment , pain meds ear drops ,which is extremely difficult when she absolutely refuses any such handling .old girl’s heart sounds good , although vet is concerned regarding her breathing difficulties ,again cost involved does not permit intensive or extensive investigation , she has arthritis in her hips and back , so we continue to keep her comfortable pain free and care for her .
Attending vet tomorrow with old girl
Attending vet tomorrow with old girl, another procedure required for ears , she refuses any one near her claws and they seriously need attending , she has some difficulty breathing and has a cough so I suspect she may have a heart condition, old girl has been here over 3 years now , we took her from pound on her last day and not a young girl then , in appalling condition at that time , she has had many procedures on her ears since being here and happily owns what was once my formal lounge room , she has bad hips and now cataracts ,and no doubt is deaf lovely old lady , but while others advice it is her time I believe she isn’t ready for her final sleep , so we shall continue to keep her comfortable as best we can .
funny kids are dingoes
We have just returned from a 4k walk (pindan and I) not far but not bad, me with one arm and he bursting with energy. He is very good and very much in sync with me , stops if in front and waits or comes back and puts his head on my knees , funny kids are dingoes .Pindan arrived here late on a Friday night in late April ,flown down from remote area having been surrendered to pound , he was somewhat unsure somewhat lean and had sores all down his spine ,one would think he had been dragged. Pindan was just all over the place, no name ,no sense of security and seriously no idea on interaction .once here he was immediately vet checked sterilized ,vaccinated, microchip. Today he answers to his name , he is in a routine has security and is understood , we thought we could find a home ,who would not want this handsome boy ? But alas he is sterilized, no financial gain to be had , and too he is from wild born parents, a force to recon with , a large problem is once here ( or in a home of security and understanding plus respect ) they dig their paws in and already Pindan has become selective with who he permits near him ,
Even to think of re home he wraps himself around the door frame ( not going not going , he says ) one would think being one of one with the right people would be more appealing in preference to being one of 17 , don’t care ,he says . He fits in, happy in a routine of rotation , wanting to interact yet unaware of how to when greeting dogs, or dingo , he wants to play with Mirrhi and Arena, they gang up on him and he becomes cross and unsure , but he too has a dominant personality , so we let Mirrhi and pindan play , but pindan gets over exuberant and this now makes Mirrhi defensive ,so we are slowly teaching him ( lol ) to be gentle , not going to happen any time soon .Pindan is very clever , when the girls are out racing around he does so want to join in but as stated it turns volatile, but all good , he is in his crate so he bounces the crate around the house chasing them , not good for wooden floors but he laughs all around the house ,they can’t hurt him and he can’t hurt them .he loves running in the exercise yard , still not dingo proof , as yet he has shown no interest in jumping or climbing the fence , he did get truly upset late yesterday , the neighbours had loud music going, he went from happily running around to melt down anxiety ,remained unsettled for many hours later ,doesn’t take a great deal to turn a confident dingo into a quivering mess.

pindan, wild born parents
pindan, wild born parents , mum kimberly girl dad pilbara boy (we are so told )pindan is now 10 months old , magnificient handsome boy (neutered) large boy with all four paws firmly gripping every day , his interests are destroying furniture, climbing on furniture, running amoke, eating all and everything he has an insatiable appetite , he is funny and is aware of his humour , determined and wilful, disobedient as dingoes are , they are not designed to be obedient , he is a force to recon with , loves life , loves walks , every thing is his way or no way , he digs and he can climb, he is non aggressive but strong headed , he is not polite and is dominant when greeting dogs , so not a good idea , no self respecting dog will tolerate Pindans idea of fun .not cat friendly, way to boisterous for children , demands respect, resents the word
‘no ‘ he would be a great companion.
Pindan requires a kind hand and understanding extremely patient tolerant human , due to his wild born heritage , dingo knowledge is absolutely paramount . no weak hearted , no fearful or control obsessive human . mutual respect, give and ye shall recieve , request against demand.
no harsh words no voice raised, non aggressive sensitive calm person is required .Pindan likes his name he will acknowledge ,Pini he smiles Pindan he frowns , recons he is in strife when full name is used .
he is clever he can turn on hot plates and oven knobs he can open any cupboard and draw, he opens fire places.
he loves coffee and tea he has to have his weetbix, oops he has to have bananas major weakness is bananas . apples are a close second , dont bother hiding any thing he will find it .
you cant be materialistic , no lounge no chair no table is Pindan proof .
he is highly intelligent and one will question who is superior, umm he is, just ask him .
hows that for a spin on a request for a dingo perfect home . all true and much more , life is guaranteed to be non stop stress and excitment you will want to spit chips while laughing hysterically .you may have a heart attack, but what a way to go.
