Caturday Supplement: Tiger Tabby

This kitty was adoptable when I saw him, but I’m preeeeetty sure he’s been snapped up by now!

Dog of the Day: GoldenDoggieDoodleBag

I don’t have any vital statistics for this pup, all I know is that I like him!

I wish I were half as happy about anything as that dog is to be in that bag.

Dog of the Day: Otto the Pembroke Welsh Corgi With A Tail

I’ve taken pictures of Otto (5) before, but they were not post-worthy. On the other hand, Otto deserves posting, so I’m glad I ran into him again!

Bonus Labor Dog Of The Day: Assistance Pupper

I don’t know what breed this fine fella was, nor his name, but I do know that he is a trained assistance dog who performs a vital function for his pop!

Labor-Double-Dog Labor Day: Nisha and Odin the Official Farm:Table Mascot Pugs

These two have an important job: they’re the greeters, official spokesdogs, and mascots of Farm:Table, a yummy (tiny!) little eatery in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. You will notice that Nisha has her own drink (Nisha the Pug Charcoal Latte). Odin doesn’t yet, because he is a new arrival, but there is a Frank the Pug Honey Latte, named after Frank, a spokes-pug emeritus.

If you drop by on a Saturday around noonish, you’re not unlikely to run into me there, sitting out in front (there are almost no seats inside) and sipping a hot chocolate or iced tea and eating some remarkable thing or other. And if Nisha and Odin happen to be there that day, probably petting the pups as well!

The one in front is Nisha, and the other one is Odin.

Odin is still settling in: he was a foster starting only a couple months ago that ‘failed’ and got full-adopted only a few weeks ago!

Caturday Supplement: Oreo the British Shorthair

Oreo is fourteen! Luckily for him, that’s not quite a old for a cat as it is for a dog, and Oreo seemed quite healthy to me. He likes his little exploration sessions, too.

One And An Eighth Dog Day: Scout Blue Merle Cardigan Welsh Corgi And The Back Of A German Shepherd Head

Someone photobombed me! Not that I minded. I’m pretty sure the Cardie is named Scout, but I have no idea who the head is.

I don’t see enough Cardies. WE DEMAND MORE CARDIES!

Dog of the Day: Newfoundland Dog

Ran into this pup at a dog park when I took Dash and Henry. He was very friendly and very big — about 160 to 170 pounds — and very, very drooly. Happily, he was not among the dogs that spent their time trying to hump Henry, because I am not sure Henry could have done much about it if he had.

I haven’t seen nearly enough Newfies in SF lately. I don’t know why, they are (unironically!) great apartment dogs.

Double Dog Day: Henry the Golden Retriever and Dash the Chihuahua Mix Redux

Remember this pair? I dogsat them a few months ago. Well, I got to sit them again for a few days this week. I’m happy to report they’re doing great.

Oh excuse me: when they’re not on a walk OR offered food.

Dog of the Day: Milo the Japanese Akita

I saw Milo (5) outside of a rather yummy local restaurant, Cotogna. (Amazing food! I don’t go very often, but that’s because 1) it’s fairly pricey, and 2) I am surrounded by a thousand very yummy restaurants so I can never choose). I certainly hope that Milo got at least a little something to eat while he was there, because if I had to sit outside Cotogna in the middle of all those yummy smells for two hours I’d go nuts.

Such a round face! That’s because of the enormous amount of highly-skritchable cheek-floof!
