Hi Everyone,
I really don't get this whole blog thing but blogging has gone on long enough for me to try it. You see I don't ever seem to get in on something until it has been going on for awhile. I dunno. Anyway, I thought I would introduce myself and what I do. I'm Sally and I make and design jewelry and gifty items. You can see my work at my website www.dizzy-dog.com or my etsy shop, www.dizzydogdesigns.etsy.com.
I am also heavily into my dogs. I have Loki, my Belgian Malinois (malinwah) who I found at the local animal control. He was the best $60 I ever spent. He is my love. He is just the best boy ever. I named him Dogma's Loki after the Kevin Smith movie "Dogma". It is one hilarious movie and I highly recommend it if you have a twisted sense of humor. Anyway, in that movie there were two angels who were cast out of heaven and were trying to get back in. One of the angels was named Loki and since I was a fan of that movie and I kinda felt like Loki was the same as that angel, trying to get back in to "heaven" so to speak, meaning he wanted to find a home that would be heaven to him, his name was borne... I could gush and gush about him but I won't bore you. He is an avid frisbee dog who prefers to catch the discs 5' off the ground and he is now the number 4 Belgian Malinois in all of North America in flyball having over 36,000 points.
Then there is Scrammy who's full name is Walkabout's Superfly Scrammisaurus. Sorry... I laugh every time I say that name or think about it. He is a Miniature Australian Shepherd who I purchased from a breeder ... www.walkaboutkennels.com. He is a very sweet boy and a lil crazy when it comes to flyball or frisbee. He is a little comedian to boot. His name came from an episode of "Everyone Loves Raymond" where Raymond's daughter got into trading "Pokemon-like" cards. The most prized card was for a character named a Scrammisaurus because he was the fastest character on the mountain (where the story took place). Oh and the Superfly came from Jimmy the "Superfly" Snuka who is a legendary wrestler and the name just seemed to fit in with the rest of it. Well because I had been involved in the sport of flyball where fast is king, a fast name seemed to fit. I especially love the looks on people's faces when I tell them his name.
Oh and Scram is the inspiration behind my logo. First the picture that became my logo which is of him shaking water off of himself. Don't ask me how I got the picture. It was purely luck because there is no photoshopping of the image as far as his eye placement or the blurriness of the rest of his face. I did use a program to add the blurry border though. I recently had him animated to be used as my logo. Which is my current logo:
T
he third dog to take up residence in my family was my lil girl named Hasty... you can see a pattern here right? Speed. Her full name is Wannabe Goin Full Tilt Boogie. I purchased her from a breeder www.wannabekennels.com. She is my "bad bubby". She is extremely sweet and very bad at the same time. I am told that runs in her family. She has some very distinct character traits seen in her mother. Hasty loves frisbee and herding. She does the most impossible catches of frisbees that I have ever seen. It's amazing to watch.
I have also taken in a lil jack russell named Nicky and because that name is just to common, not to mention I don't name my dogs people names it really doesn't fit so I call her Icky Nicky. She is cute as a bug and actually not much like a jack at all. She is more laid back but her inner jack does come out once in a while. When they were filming "Marley & Me" down in Miami, Nicky and I went down and played movie stars for the day. We were extras in the movie and I am sure because we were so far in th
e background you won't even be able to see us once the final production is completed. But we were there!
I also foster and volunteer for Mini Aussie Rescue www.miniaussierescue.org and currently have a foster in my house. He is a 9 mo old red tri mini aussie that I named Roadie.
This is him. Handsome boy with Amber eyes.You can see his information at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11623024
Okay, so that is my immediate family. What I hope for this post is to keep you updated on my latest jewelry endeavors as well as what my and my brood are up to in the dog sporting world.
You can see more of my dogs at www.flyindogz.us although Icky is not on the site yet.
Okay, is this brambling? Rambling in a blog?
Well, I will sign off for now...
Scram didn't get to race much because there was only space for one of my dogs to race on Saturday and since I am working on Loki's title, Loki got to race not Scram. When he finally did get to race on Sunday he was crazy! Scrammy is next to earn a title. He is less than 2,000 points away from his FDGCh30. You guessed it, 30,000 points.
And finally I have a video for you. It isn't our team but it is fun to watch no matter who is racing.
