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.

Bunday Supplement: Alex The Great Redux

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

Alex has more hats than I do, and he’s not even bald!

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.

Dog of the Day: Nugget the Golden Retriever

Hey look, it’s a (5-year-old) gold Nugget! According to mom, Nugget’s tail was dyed last year just before they went to a giant golden retriever meetup with hundreds of dogs, so that they wouldn’t lose track of her, and after that it just sort of became her ‘thing’. Hey, if humans can dye their hair green, I fully support Nugget’s pink tail!

Nugget is a holdover from my trip to Sacramento last month. I didn’t get a lot of dog pictures up there because the pup I was sitting for didn’t like other dogs, alas.

Dog of the Day: Boomer the Rhodesian Ridgeback

Boomer is a fifteen-year-old female Rhodesian ridgeback. That’s pretty amazing, given how big Rhodesians are.

She doesn’t sit and get up all that well, but she can still get around, even on the hills of San Francisco.

She also knows how to cadge some scratches from random bystanders.

Dog of the Day: Jemma the Miniature Dachshund

Jemma is four. She’s been having some back problems lately, and recently had IVDD surgery, and I am happy to report that she is recovering nicely, and seems quite happy with the results. And with more or less everything else.

Is it just me or is that a smile?

Dog of the Day: Chester Brown the Belgian Malinois German Shepherd Mix

Chester was a Tijuana street dog, but now he is a San Francisco park dog, and seems very happy with the change.

I don’t go down to Washington Square Park nearly often enough. Gonna have to change that.

Puppy of the Day: Chihuahua Mix

I went to a trade show today. It had a lot of computers and people and booths and sessions and stuff. They were boring. It also had a small enclosure with a dozen puppies running around in it. Apparently there is a local rescue/adoption place/company/I dunno that will bring puppies to your event in exchange for money, and also adopts them out. I approve!

Anyway I maaaaay have spent slightly more time in there than was, strictly speaking, allotted to it in my schedule.

WORTH IT.

Indoor pictures of puppies are always a tough one, generally ending up ridiculous blurs. I got lucky a few times.
