Dog of the Day: Olive the Coton de Tulear

I am not sure I have ever seen a Coton de Tulear who wasn’t all white before. Olive is a 6-year-old tricolor coton, according to mom, but apparently all her brown faded out. I know dogs go grey (like me!) but I didn’t know just one of their colors could fade. Weird!

Pretty eyes, too.

Umi (6) is awesome: a story in five pictures. No need for hovertext or captions for this one, the pictures tell the whole story.

Baby Bat of the Day

I didn’t get this beast’s name and details, but I do remember that I said ‘That’s a baby bat!’ and his mom said that that was what she called him, so obviously I’m not the only one who noticed the resemblance.

Dog of the Day: Jeviz the Standard Schnauzer

This is Jeviz! He’s 11, and is a full standard schnauzer, just schnauzing up the place.

He’s huge, but he’s not a giant schnauzer, nor a small bearded collie (which I mistook him for for a moment.)

Dog of the Day: Willie the Golden Retriever Puppy

Willie is only 15 weeks old, but Willie is, as dad says, already ‘getting kind of big for the backpack’. Willie is going to be LARGE!

I had to walk fast to keep up with the two of them, they were on their way to a (ssh!) vet appointment.

Actually you don’t have to shh. Willie loves the vet. Willie loves EVERYBODY.

You can tell they were going fast since his ear was flapping in the breeze!

Wandered by the ‘yoga with puppies’ place last Saturday on my way to the Farmer’s Market and caught sight of these two having a Moment.

Dog of the Day: Stevie the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Poor Stevie (3) was quite thoroughly nommed on by another dog recently. She got several stitches and the cone of shame. Happily, it has not changed her attitude one bit!

Australian Cattle Dog Mix In A Cone Of Shame
I’ve had stitches before. I had to scratch myself on both sides of them so that I wouldn’t scratch them. Honestly I maybe could have used a cone of shame myself.

She appreciated getting scratched under the chin quite a lot.

Can’t have been too bad, I got him grinning.

Dog of the Day: Squooshy King Charles Cavalier

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but that’s Autumn’s hand. She just put out her hand and the pup laid her chin in it and was like ‘do you love me now?’ And we all said ‘YES!’

Somehow I see more doggie bags at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market than I do everywhere else combined.

Double Dog Day: James Joyce the Repeat Customer Irish Wolfhound and Mary Shelley the English Bulldog Puppy

I ran into James Joyce (9 years old!) so long ago that I barely remember, which is to say, Before Covid, back in 2019. And I am delighted to tell you that he is looking just as happy and healthy now as he was when I first met him, which is just amazing for a wolfhound. I bet part of it is his friend Mary (8 months) helping keep him young.
