Caturday Supplement: Chester and Fitzmagic the Bengal Kitties

Posted on April 6, 2024 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on April 1, 2024 by Adam Lang

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!

Dog of the Day: Voltaire the (Girl) Pomeranian

Posted on March 27, 2024 by Adam Lang

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.

Pomeranians are a funny kind of small dog. They’re kind of like samoyeds, size times 0.5, speed times 2.

Dog of the Day: Maya the Chihuahua

Posted on March 20, 2024 by Adam Lang

Maya is an 8-year-old blue merle Chihuahua I ran into today in the Santa Cruz Mountains. My team from work rented an AirBNB down here for a team offsite last night and tonight, and went for a rather nice hike (1200+ foot vertical climb and drop, 6+ miles round trip). There were very few dogs, but the ones we did see were extra cute.

He’s missing a couple of teeth, which explains the slightly goofy expression.

Caturday Supplement: Stripey Ginger

Posted on March 16, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into this kitty when I was down in Monterey. She was quite friendly, and seemed pretty disappointed when I stopped petting her to take some pictures.

I love marmalade tiger tabbies. Always put me in mind of Calvin & Hobbes.

A very subtle way of hinting that she wants more petting, huh?

A car came by and she decided she wasn’t that interested after all. Bye, kitty!

Lexi is a 3-year-old miniature schnauzer. And you know what they say about schnauzers, right?

This was a first for me: I stopped Lexi’s mom because she had a cute dog, and we ended up talking local St. Paddy’s Day Irish music shows. Just goes to show!

Dog of the Almost Birthday: Nookie the Mini American Eskimo Dog

Posted on March 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Nookie, pronounced New-Key, yesterday, when he turned 2 years old. And then I didn’t get home until 11 PM (went to a great concert in Berkeley!). So Nookie gets TWO birthday celebrations, one yesterday, at home, and one today, here!
