Dog of the Day: Hitachi the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on December 26, 2025 by Adam Lang

Hitachi is a five-year-old Pemmie with one floppy ear. Except when he looks up at you and peers soulfully into your eyes, at which time his ear flops back and looks like it’s standing up. SO. CUTE.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi With One Ear Flopped
I was wandering around my old stomping grounds, where I lived back in the late 90s: Campbell, down near the southern end of the South Bay.

There’s that patented corgi smile!

Some Macy’s window puppies for your Christmas delectation. Merry Christmas to everyone, cats, dogs, and even (ugh) humans!

It took this pup about 5 minutes after getting into the window to cause visible damage. Puppies!

Dog of Christmas Eve: Beans the Bernadoodle Service Dog

Posted on December 24, 2025 by Adam Lang

Sorry for the radio silence! I was traveling from 7 AM until 10 PM (my time) on Monday, and I had to recover AND work yesterday. The life of an on-call software engineer, bah humbug. I am also working today, but I can take a little time off to post a pup.

So happy Christmas Eve from Beans! I met Beans (2) on my journey, in the San Diego airport. Beans is a service dog. I made sure to ask before I took pictures, and Beans’s folks were fine with it, but I forgot to ask Beans! So he barked at me a couple of times, quite politely, to get me to back off a little from his human. Good dog!

It’s a great breed for a service dog. Surprised I don’t see more of them.

Handsome pupper, too.

Sunday Switchup: The BLACK SQUIRREL!

Posted on December 21, 2025 by Adam Lang

I was down in the South Bay a few weeks ago, and I happened to catch sight of this fuzzy little specimen.

Dunno what it is but I have always been enchanted by black squirrels.

Mind you, I think all squirrels are pretty cute.

Dog of the Day: Shiba Inu

Posted on December 20, 2025 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but I did get the fact that he’s thirteen years old, but still ‘spry’.

Shiba Inu With His Eyes Half Closed
This picture isn’t quite fair. I mean, he looks good, but he doesn’t look this old in person. It’s the half-closed eyes, I caught him blinking.

Such a sweet face.

Many Dog Day: Corgi Puppy Yoga

Posted on December 19, 2025 by Adam Lang

I stopped by the Puppy Yoga place that I wander by most Saturdays, and what did I find but CORGI DAY! So I managed to talk them into letting me in, so I could take better pictures with fewer reflections. I promised I’d post a link to their site, so here it is: www.puppies-yoga.com.

No hovertext or captions, too many cute pictures!

They really do ambush your heart, don’t they?

I bet this guy didn’t last more than a couple hours before being adopted.

Macy’s Puppy Day: Two Little Cuties

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Adam Lang

Turns out this year there aren’t just puppies in the Macy’s windows, there’s also a little corral where people can go to play with the puppies and decide whether they want to adopt.

I’m going to be visiting that corral at lunch every work day until I leave for Christmas!

Little German Shepherd Puppies
I only got a couple pictures because petting them was much more fun.

Dog of the Birthday: Aisling the Lurcher

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

WHOA. What’s this? TWO POSTS in ONE DAY? Well, yeah! I promised to post Aisling today, because it’s her ninth birthday today!

And DOUBLE whoa! That makes two breeds we’ve never seen before on da blog, posted on the same day! After SIXTEEN YEARS! (Well, sorta. Lurchers aren’t exactly a breed, they’re what you get when you mix a sighthound like a greyhound with a herding dog or terrier. They have a long history of being associated with poachers and other ‘freedom-loving individuals’ in the UK and Ireland. But still… they’re a thing! And a thing we’ve never seen before!)

Lurcher Curled Up On A Carpet
I ran into Aisling at the same gaming convention I met Emmett at. It was a good place for pups all around.

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

I love Larry’s name. She’s only 6 months old but she’s a big personality!

(Wow! This is our first Wirehaired Pointing Griffon? How could that be?)
