Dog of the Day: Clapton the Repeat Customer Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Adam Lang

Look who I ran into again: it’s Clapton the corglet!

Clapton has more trouble with his hind legs than I thought (boo for degenerative myelopathy!) but he’s still living his best life, getting out and about every day, and touching grass more often than most of us software engineers. Hooray for Clapton!

Dog of the Day: Luke the Cocker Spaniel With A Little Chihuahua And Dachshund

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

Luke is eleven years old, but like most dogs his size, he’s not really showing his age.

I spotted Luke from across the quad, and went to grab some pictures of him in his bag…

I got ONE picture of him in the bag, and a couple dozen of him rolling in the grass and begging for petting.

Sunday Switchup: Chianti the Pineapple Conure

Posted on January 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

Chianti (2) and her mom were out taking the air on Friday, when I ran into them. I love this idea: we need more people out walking their birbs.

Chianti has an Instagram, by the way. You should check it out!

I am reliably informed that Chianti speaks three languages!

Conures are the breed of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Although they’re ‘cherry-headed’ and not ‘pineapple’.

Aw man. SF coyotes are carrying mange, and passing it on to pets. Be careful out there, folks!

Dog of the Day: Cody the Shiba Inu

Posted on January 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

Cody, I am reliably informed, ‘loves people but not so much dogs’. Silly pup! Dogs are the best people!

Oh well. I’m sure he gets plenty of love, petting, and play-time from the humans around him.

Dog of the Day: Maple the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix

Posted on January 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

Maple is one of my favorite flavors, and true to her name, Maple (3) is super sweet!

Sigh. On a low-glycemic diet, so she’s the only maple I’ve had in several weeks.

Posted on January 6, 2025 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on January 5, 2025 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on January 3, 2025 by Adam Lang

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.

Posted on January 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

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.
