Belated St. Paddy’s Dog Day: Odin the Irish Wolfhound

Posted on April 24, 2026 by Adam Lang

Ran into this one-year-old lanky pup after the San Francisco St Patrick’s Day Parade, having a blast with all the potential new friends.

I’m glad I wasn’t dog sitting this pup, there wouldn’t have been room in the full-sized bed for me!

Dog of the Day: Lumi the Really BIG American Eskimo Dog

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Adam Lang

I thought Lumi was a small samoyed, that’s how big she is! But her folks say she’s a one-year-old American Eskimo dog.

His owners were eating food. Just amazed he was looking in the opposite direction!

Sorry I’ve been a little spotty over the last week: I’ve been dogsitting one of my favorite puppers, Zoey! We had lots of fun, as you can see.

Sunday Switchup: Great Blue Heron

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Adam Lang

This bird is a lot like me: he enjoys hanging out in the Greater Vancouver Zoo, but he gets to go home when he gets tired.

Great Blue Heron
There’s a little river (Salmon River) that flows right by the zoo there.

He really looks like he’s in a grey raincoat.

Dog of the Day: Sheridan the Basenji

Posted on April 14, 2026 by Adam Lang

Sheridan (4) is the possessor of that most-sought-after of basenji attributes, the double-super-curly-tail! You can have hours of fun tugging it out straight and then letting it sproing back into position.

Someone was having fun sprinting in circles in the park.
Basenji Looking Goofy
Combination of a strange angle/weird shadows and a goofy expression.

Dog of the Day: Wally the Chinese Crested

Posted on April 13, 2026 by Adam Lang

Wally is a fuzzier-than-usual Chinese crested. I ran into him at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market, where there are so many feet that he has to be really careful. Or dad needs to hang onto him!

Look close… Wally’s wearing adorable little shoes!

Sunday Switchup: Horſes

Posted on April 12, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran across these two horses (and also a person) wandering through the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Their names are Adagio and Mio, and they are 23 and 22 years old respectively. (I did not, alas, note which one was which, but I think the bay — the one with the black mane — is Adagio.) When they were younger they were endurance horses, and competed in the Tevis Cup. Not something I’ve ever heard of, but apparently it’s big in horsey circles, and they are quite proud of themselves.

Now they’re retired, but they still get plenty of exercise and fun, and also plenty of scratches from newfound friends like me, in some of the prettiest spots in California. Which makes me happy. That’s how I’d like to retire!

Puppy of the Day: Sandy the Golden Retriever

Posted on April 10, 2026 by Adam Lang

Sandy is a very patient pupper, for a nine-month-old!

I wonder if she got a haircut, or if she is just a naturally short-fuzzed golden?

Ohhhh now those are some strong puppydog eyes.
