Dog of the Day: Angie the German Shepherd Golden Retriever Mix

Angie is only two, but she’s extremely calm for her age. Especially given her breed mix!

She also looks very wise, doesn’t she?

Sunday Switchup: A Mountain of Clouds

Was driving home a few weeks ago and ran across this sight. I am a sucker for cloud-mountains, so I had to pull over and grab a picture or two.

I got some really nice pictures in the Great Smokeys back a few decads ago, but I’ve since lost them. Boo.

Double Dog Day: Fritz the French Bulldog and Loulou the Cockapoo

The name Fritz always reminds me of the animated feature Wizards, which I realize is a pretty obscure reference, but what the heck. Anyway, this Fritz (2) is not a wizard, though he seems just as attentive as one. On the other hand, Loulou (a girl, 10) is more laid-back, but every bit as friendly.

He saved his barking for when I decided I had to leave. Funny that.

Loulou was definitely a little mellower.

She wasn’t very forward, but she was definitely up for some petting.

Double Dog (Birth)Day: Boba the Birthday Girl and Biggie the Nearly Birthday Boy Pugs

Boba’s fifth birthday is today! Happy Boba-day! And Biggie’s is a week from today! Man, these two must be peeved: Christmas and BOTH birthdays are so close together that they probably only get one party!

That… is one ridiculous pug face.

Happy New Year’s Dog: Peach the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

This is going to be a rough year for me, for a variety of reasons, and probably for a lot of other folks as well. So I think we need a very happy New Year’s Dog to keep our spirits up. Hence, Peach (2, and a boy!)

Peach is a trim corgi. No fat, all muscle and bone. Peach is a trim, thirty-eight pound corgi. Dayum, Peach, you could play professional corgball!

I promise, the apparent spherical nature is an optical illusion.

Dog of the Day: Rocco the Goldendoodle Puppy

I got a bunch of adorable pictures of Rocco (11 weeks) and his mom, but he was blurry in all but two and mom was blurry in those two, so I’m afraid you’ll just have to settle for a slightly less adorable one of just Rocco.

That’s eleven weeks? Rocco is gonna be huuuuuuge!

Dog of Christmas Day: Winty (Winter Melon!) the Schauzer Poodle Mix

Winty, Winty the schoodle! She is three, and already an accomplished traveller. However, I choose to believe that she was also patiently waiting in this bag under the Christmas tree this morning, ready to leap out and lick the nose of some surprised kid.

One of the few pleasant things about hanging out in an airport is getting to see all the dogs who rack up more airline miles than you do.

Dog of Christmas Eve: Zay the White Swiss Shepherd

I’m gonna guess that ‘Say’ was a victim of autocorrect, but it’s the closest thing I have to a name so I’m going to go with it. Anyway, he’s a he (edited), and he’s four, and he seems very right for the festive season.

Edit: He’s a he, and his name is Zay, according to a little birdie down in the comment section. I see how autocorrect got me on the name, but I have no idea what got me on the gender.

I don’t know if this pup lives in SF, but regardless, I hope he gets to play in the snow for Christmas!

A great place to bring your dog for a romp in the snow if you live in the Bay Area is Mt. Hamilton. Just make sure the road is open before you go!

Dog of the Day: Pupkin

Ran into this pup right around Halloween. Can’t believe I didn’t post her then, but what the heck, pupkins are always in season!

Stripey nose! I wonder if there’s some husky in there?

Dog of the Day: Mabel the Siberian Husky

Mabel is three, and has just as much energy as she did when she was six months old.

Her nose looks like it says ‘JL’. Maybe she really likes Jack London Square?
