Minkey

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Mike

Before Pumpkin we had a dog named Minkey. She was very pretty, but quite insane. People thought she looked like a gorilla.

I like “Insane Gorilla” but Ewok is good too. The photo does give her eyes a kind of mad stare!

  We never knew if she had a kiss for us or a growl and a nip. She was certifiably nuts.

Gorilla or ewok, either way it’s a great shot. Good that you got down at eye level.

Beautiful shot. More orang than gorilla, tho. What made her so nutcakes? Maybe life as a dog-orang-gorilla hybrid was too much to bear? 😯

  She would growl at us and sometimes try to nip us, and for no apparent reason. Orang, eh? She lived 15 years to the day. Thanks Sylver.

  She was just a pup when I took this……..way back in 1988. But I already knew she was bonkers.
  Thanks.
