Dog of the Day: Rohnan the Boston Terrier

Rohnan is 3. I’ll be posting his best buddy tomorrow!

Boston terriers always look like they’re grinning so wide the tops of their heads are going to fall off.

They’re also just about as bouncy as Tigger.

Puppy of the Day: Uma the Cockapoo

Uma is nine weeks old. I squealed so high that it was ultrasonic when I saw her. Her mom couldn’t hear it, but she could.

Sadly, the puppy wasn’t allowed down. Not all the vaccinations yet!

I can’t wait until I see her next time, because then she’ll be vaccinated and I can PLAY WITH HER!

Dog of the Day: Drowsy Golden

Someone’s too pooped to pup.

I really envy animals their ability to just flop down and relax any time, anywhere. I could use a heaping helping of that myself.

Dog of the Day: Figaro the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix Birthday Boy

Okay, check this: not only do we have two birthday pups in a row, but Figaro is twelve years old! He sure doesn’t look it, does he? And he definitely doesn’t act it either.

Ran into this pup when I was waiting in line for a chocolate festival in Golden Gate Park.

Gotta be some golden retriever in there, along with corgi. Plus… maybe something else?

Caturday Supplement: Chester and Fitzmagic the Bengal Kitties

Chester and Fitzie are brothers, and they’re both 11 months old, so still technically kittens. And yet somehow they are totally calm and cheerful and okay with hanging out outside and saying hi to folks. I hear there’s some leash training going on too, but I’m not sure how it’s going so far.

Totally calm, even when a little kid came up and asked to pet them.

Dog of the Day: Milo the Mexican Hairless Dog

Milo (male, 3) is a little chilly sometimes, hence the jacket.

Fortunately it never gets cold enough in SF that he needs the full snowsuit version.

Dog of the (Nearly) Birthday: Yukon the Golden Retriever

Yukon will probably be 4 by the time you see this post, because in San Francisco it’ll be his birthday in about 4 hours, and even sooner in a lot of places. Say happy birthday!

Yukon has wonderful ear-micro-dreadlocks.

Someone is having a happy birthday, I suspect.

Dog of the Day: Voltaire the (Girl) Pomeranian

Voltaire’s folks decided they loved the name, and it’s not like there’re a whole lot of people named Voltaire out there, male or female. So let’s hear it for this fifteen-year-old pup!

My brain has definitely not been behaving itself for the past couple weeks. Very strange time. Very strange brain, too… but you knew that, if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time.

White Pomeranian Staring Into The Camera
Pomeranians are a funny kind of small dog. They’re kind of like samoyeds, size times 0.5, speed times 2.
