Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

Such cute dogs. But I always feel sorry for them. Seems to me that half the fun of being a dog is having a tail. One more picture after the break.

Dog of the Day: Lab Puppy!

I think it’s time for another lab puppy. We found this guy right in our neighborhood. He’s in training to be a seeing eye dog, although at the time we saw him, most of his training thus far had consisted … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Wet Lab

This guy must have just been swimming down near the Hyde Street Pier and Ghirardelli Square: I found him on Polk Street in Russian Hill and he smelled like salt water. (And wet dog.) And that’s the closest accessible salt … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Zoë the Dorgi

What an adorable dog! Zoë is a dorgi: a dachshund/corgi mix with a very sweet temperament and an inquisitive nature. Autumn took these pictures; sadly, I never got to meet Zoë. Second picture after the break.

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

One blue eye, one brown. And such a sweetheart, she didn’t want to let me leave. Sadly, the close-up dog-nose picture didn’t come out very well. It was of her saying ‘what’re you doing playing with that thing, come here … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Atticus the Border Collie

Atticus is the dog of a coworker of mine. Such an adorable dog… he loves everybody, and everybody loves him. And he’s sharp as a tack, but he’s also just a bit willful: the first time I saw him, he … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Hungarian Sheep Dog (Puli)

They don’t get a lot more ridiculous than this. It actually took me about 30 or 40 seconds to realize it was actually a dog, and that’s after I had seen several of these online. (And one Puli puppy, but … Continue reading
