Who is CrazyDogMama?

Hi, I’m Cheryl, and I have been known as “CrazyDogMama” since 2003. I was the FIRST CrazyDogMama on the net, but it took me 12 whole years to buy my own domain name, so there are others out there now because I am a big ol’ slacker. It’s upsetting, but I’m dealing with it.  Sort of.

It all began on “Blogger” all those years ago because I was the proud owner of two very CRAZY and willful Cairn Terriers named Louie and Maggie, and I wanted to document all the antics and funny stories that my life was filled with daily. Over the years, my hobby evolved into much more than a cutesy blog about dogs, though, it contained just about everything in my life – including some very dark days. I’ve been through everything. Well, OK, not everything, but seriously a lot. In fact, so much that I am now a freelance writer working on an autobiography of sorts. My book is going to be named “Electric Garden” (when I get around to finishing it – remember the slacker thing), and it is about how I overcame a raging storm of personal trauma and tragedy, and how I am continuing to navigate my way through this ever-changing life of mine.  God paid me a visit personally, and whether or not you believe – Jesus is NO JOKE!

Sadly, I lost Louie in 2011 and Maggie in 2015, but I was adopted by Jack, and now there is even more “crazy” in CrazyDogMama!

WARNING:  I blog here about whatever I want, whenever I want – and the subjects go all over the place.  I have too many interests to have a single-focused blog. They say that isn’t the best approach because I can’t classify my site or direct web traffic appropriately, so I guess I’m paving the road for a new type of “Life” blog that breaks all the current rules that are written on how to have a successful blog.  Someone’s gotta do it, right?  Either that, or I’ll fail miserably and have no readers.  Whatever.

Don’t be shy!  Look around, comment and say hello!  Some of the best people I’ve ever met – I’ve met through blogs!

Jack and his surfboard!  He LIVES for this.

He’s a really cute weirdo.
