  • Uggi Reynisdóttir

    Uggi Reynisdóttir is the site’s protagonist. Handsome and wise, Uggi is an avid surfer and swimmer. He’s a pirate by trade with a collection of three yachts and one jet ski. Unlike many of his species, Uggi’s hart is filled with compassion (albeit his brain is filled with hay). But hey…it could be worse.

  • Fjola Blondäl

    Fjola is a fictional antagonist created by Zë, and although she’s fictional she’s an astute traveler who can bring adequate fun to journeys. I recommend listening to her advice because, as Oscar Wilde once quipped “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”

About Glida

This little mutt with a healthy ego inspired in me the idea of creating a website. The site has evolved since but it’s core, seeing hazily, remained intact.
Glida was born in Israel and immigrated to the US in 1996. She’s a mutt with bogus interests and limited social skills, much like her dad. Besides chasing squirrels and bunnies (she never caught one!), she likes her two walks a day — rain or shine — and getting unhealthy treats. Feel free to roam the site and get lost in its forbidden lifelessness.
Sadly, on November 19, 2011, Glida passed away at 17. They say about Israeli natives (such as Glida and I), that we’re like Sabras (Israeli cactus): prickle on the outside and sweet on the inside. Glida, however, was prickle on the outside and prickle on the inside. Gonna miss you tons “Doggy Bag.”
