DoggiEvent: DogFest San Francisco

Ooh! It’s DogFest weekend, I almost forgot! If you’re in SF and have a pooch, drop by Duboce Park on Saturday, the 27th, between 11 AM and 4 PM for lots of fun with your fuzzy friend. If you’re in SF and don’t have a pooch, drop by DogFest and adopt one! Or at least pet a bunch of ’em.

More info is here: https://mckinleyschool.org/dogfest/

Click the links at the top of the page… the front page isn’t terribly informative.

Hope to see you there!

Dog of the Day: Colette the Chihuahua Shih Tzu Puppy

Apparently Colette is half Long-Coat Chihuahua, half Shih Tzu, and six months old. I sure am seeing a lot of puppies lately. Not that I’m complaining!

Colette does not like looking at cameras. Nevertheless, I finally managed to get a shot.

Dog of the Day: Bernadoodle Maybe?

Man, this guy’s a tough one! He sure does have his calisthenics down pat, though, doesn’t he?

Tricolor Poodle Mix
I dunno. Kind of dilute for a bernadoodle. Maybe an Aussiedoodle? Border-doodle?
Tricolor Poodle Mix Dancing
Might still be a puppy. Wish I’d grabbed a note about this one.

I don’t even recall what trick this was, although I think it was one.

He also likes belly rubs.

Dog of the Day: Mishka the Maybe Cocker Spaniel Poodle Mix Puppy

I don’t have any notes for Mishka, but his name is on his tags, and I think he might be a cockapoo.

If you look in the phone you’ll see a reflection of the sign we were standing in front of: ‘Korean Corn Dog’. I don’t think Mishka is Korean, but he might be a little corny!

Mishka basically means ‘little mousie’ in Russian (which I took in high school). Google says it means ‘bag’ in Ukranian. I’m choosing to assume that this is a little mousie.

Dog News: World Dog Surfing Championships IN JEOPARDY!

I’ve loved covering the World Dog Surfing Championship the several times I did it. This year it’s not clear there’s going to be one, because the costs have apparently gone way up… the local city government is charging way more for permits and such.

If you want to see more funny pictures of dogs falling off of surf boards, act now!

Dog of the Day: Doom the German Anatolian Shepherd Mix

‘Doom the Shepherd’ could be mistaken for an instruction, or perhaps the name of a particularly pastoral punk band, but in this case Doom is his name. Doom is 11, and is a mix of German and Anatolian shepherd. I said ‘wow, I don’t think I’ve ever run into an Anatolian mix before, that’s really unusual’ and they said ‘well, he is from Turkey’ so I guess that explains a certain amount!

Doom is the best canine friend of Rohnan (yesterday’s dog). The two of them look pretty silly together, but unfortunately none of my group photos turned out.

Dog of the Day: Rohnan the Boston Terrier

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

Boston Terrier
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.

Nine Week Old Cockapoo
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.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi Golden Retriever Mix
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?
