Posted on April 19, 2025 by Adam Lang

This kitty is a friend of last week’s, but not quite as outgoing.

Ah well. You can’t pet ’em all. (Though you can certainly try!)

Dog of the Day: Opie the Saluberman

Posted on April 18, 2025 by Adam Lang

Her dad said Opie (6) is a Saluberman… which is to say, a Doberman pinscher saluki cross! I have definitely never seen one of those before, salukis are super rare just on their own.

Saluki Dobermann Mixed Breed
I had guessed ridgeback greyhound. Pretty far off!

She’s even pointier than a collie!

Dog of the Day: Cascade the Irish Setter

Posted on April 17, 2025 by Adam Lang

Cascade is 4, and has an amazing instagram: CascadeTheRedDog!

Irish Setter
I like the name ‘The Red Dog’. It’s like ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ or something.

Ran into Teddy and Tofu at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market too. Always a great place to find pups.

Double Dog Day: Pom Pom!

Posted on April 14, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran across these two at the Saturday farmer’s market at the San Francisco Ferry Building. I didn’t stop to get names, as the guy who was with them was in the middle of buying some produce.

The world needs more doggie bags.

Very unusual coloration for a Pomeranian.

Caturday Supplement: I Made a New Friend in North Beach

Posted on April 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

Someone has an important job keeping the mousies (and ratties and probably a variety of other thingies) away, but still had time to perform important customer service tasks.

Grey Tiger Tabby Cat
It’s been a good cat-year so far, more cats than I’ve run across in the last few.

Dog of the Day: Frito the Japanese Akita

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Adam Lang

SHE HAS SUCH FLUFFY CHEEKS! Frito is almost 8, and is cuddly and friendly.

Sad Looking Japanese Akita
You just want to wrap your arms around her and squeeze! And she’s friendly enough that she probably wouldn’t mind.

Dog of the Day: Lily the Maltese

Posted on April 10, 2025 by Adam Lang

I got some pictures near the St Patrick’s Day Parade, and also this one (which was actually on St Patrick’s Day, which was a Monday this year) of a very celebratory Lily, 1. She has an instagram! Apparently she runs ATX, a large airport in Austin, Texas, so maybe ask her about that if you see her.

This bandana is so big on her that it might even make her even more than the usual 10% more awesome!

Dog of the Day: Lola the French Bulldog Repeat Customer and Semi-Birthday Girl!

Posted on April 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

I was out earlier today grabbing some dinner and a new paperback to take my mind off of… gestures incoherently. And I ran into a Frenchie whose folks said she was named Lola, and I thought, ‘Gosh, I feel like I’ve run into a Frenchie named Lola before.’ And I went and looked, and sure enough, it was her… fifteen years ago! Sometimes I wish I could put my dog-remembering superpowers to work on something beneficial to humans, or dogs, or really anybody, but eh, I’d rather have ’em than not!

So yeah, here’s Lola again! And it’s her semi-birthday: her birthday is in exactly six months, so she’s fifteen and a half today! Wish her a happy day with me, would you?

Blond French Bulldog
She’s a little blind (but not terribly), and a little deaf (but not too much), but she seems to be enjoying life, and she sure is a lot more polite with other dogs than she was ten years ago!
Blond French Bulldog Sticking Out Her Tongue
I was terribly offended that she didn’t seem to remember ME, though. Just hearbroken.
