Dog of the Day: (Don’t) Slay the Whippet

I do not know the story behind Slay’s name, I just know that she’s 1 and the spit and image of our beloved web site’s logo! Oh and also I know that she has an instagram page. The instagram page says that she’s from LA, but who knows how up to date that is. Maybe she’s moved to SF, or maybe she was just visiting.

Whippet Looking Friendly
The ears! The SMILE! Okay, one other thing I know: I love her.

I bet Slay gets what she wants, most of the time.

Puppy of the Day: German Shepherd Mix

I ran out for lunch today, and saw a man and an adorable puppy. I asked how old he was, and the man said that he had no idea because the dog had just run up to him in the middle of the Financial District. No collar, no tags. He was taking the pup to see if there was a microchip, but he also said ‘My last dog died a few months ago, I wonder if the universe is telling me something?’

Lucky guy! I’d adopt him in a heartbeat.

Dog of the Day: Thor the Keeshond Redux

I was looking at my notes on Thor today and I thought, “Gee, that name actually sounds vaguely familiar for a keeshond.” And sure enough, we’ve seen Thor before! Only now he’s six. Still causing trouble wherever he goes.

Not sure I’ve seen a pup with spectacle markings like Thor’s… even down to the temple pieces!

Dog of the Day: Moose the Sapsaree

We’ve had a couple of sapsaree (sapsali/sapsari) pups before, but it’s definitely not one of my top, say, 200 breeds here, and so it’s always nice to find a pup like Moose (7) wandering around. Especially one with his own instagram!

Those long floofy legs made a great ‘dog toll gate’. Moose got several scratches behind the ears.

Dog of the Day: Aria the Pomeranian Husky Mix

Aria is six, and eager to show off her floof! (Aria is such a great name for a dog, especially one that likes to sing, as most husky mixes tend to.)

Adorable Fluffy Pomsky
It was warm in the sun, at least for fuzzy critters like this one, so I gave mom some water from my water bottle for Aria. Yay!

Dog of the Day: Nana the German Shepherd Siberian Husky Mix

Nana (nanananaheyJude?) is a sweet adorable 4-year-old German shepherd mix, according to her folks. I am the one who guessed husky but I feel pretty confident, what with that STRIPEY NOSE!!

Sorry about the shadows. HDR mode only goes so far when it’s sunny.

We’ve seen Alex before, but last time I didn’t have a link to his Instagram. This bun really gets around!

Caturday Supplement: Oliver (And Friend!)

I was out for a walk last Tuesday, trying to get the last few bits of exercise to ‘close my rings’ for the day, and I ran across a man and a woman walking their cat and dog, Oliver and Scooby. Shortly thereafter, I found the wild parrots that nest in the area. Pretty good for a half mile walk!

Chocolate Labrador Retriever
This, as if I had to clarify, is Scooby. Scooby is Oliver’s bestie.

And Oliver. Oliver loves his walks, especially when there are parrots to watch. And people to scratch behind his ears.
