Loki’s looking good
Sydney Star Observer
What is Loki?
Michael Smith
A chihuahua/pug cross, or a chug as we call her.
SSO
Where did her name come from?
Paul Coghlan
The name Loki has references in Norse and Greek mythology to the god of mischief. Pretty apt really.
SSO
What’s the best thing about her?
PC
Everything! From her wet black snout all the way to her curly tail. She also has such a distinct personality and attracts lots of attention wherever we go. She fits in with our lifestyle and goes pretty much everywhere with us.
SSO
And the best thing about being a pet owner?
MS
No matter what your day has been like, as soon as you come home and see that wiggly tail, your heart just melts. She makes us laugh.
SSO
Any advice for queer would-be pet owners?
MS
Definitely do it as it’s very rewarding. Though don’t underestimate the responsibility, especially with an indoor animal. You need to give them lots of your time.
Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
