Heading Homeward Pup: Harvey the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on August 17, 2026 by Adam Lang

Sorry for the radio silence the last few days, but I’ve been on a little vacation to Wisconsin (to Milwaukee Irish Fest!) and the daytime has been quite full and the nighttime has been pretty awful (sleep problems) so I haven’t been thinking about the site very much. But today I’m on my way home, and so to celebrate the return of your regularly scheduled blogging, here is a picture of an honorary Dog of San Francisco that I just met in the O’Hare airport: Harvey the you’d-never-know-he-was-twelve Pemmie!

He turns thirteen in December, and a healthier-looking twelve-year-old pup I rarely see.

Dog of the Day: Lapo the Great Pyrenees German Shepherd Mix

Posted on August 11, 2026 by Adam Lang

Lapo is only one year old, and quite an unusual mix: you don’t see a lot of Pyreneeses wandering around the neighborhood impregnating other dogs, huh?

Very distinctive mix, right? I wouldn’t have guessed it, but having been told, I totally see it.

Bell is 1, and I hope she will always act just like she does now, because she is awesome.

Sunday Switchup: Dog Art

Posted on August 9, 2026 by Adam Lang

There’s an art museum on Market Street in San Francisco. It’s a little weird, having been started by a gentleman who claimed to be the reincarnation of the buddha Vajradhara, and originally contained only works by him with little cards praising how wonderful his artistic talents were. It’s branched out a fair amount now that he’s no longer with us, and actually honestly some of his stuff is pretty good, too, so I’d say it’s well worth seeing.

I can’t honestly recall if this was one of his or not. Guess I’ll have to go back and find out!

Saturday Pupper: Scout the Birthday Boy Beagle

Posted on August 8, 2026 by Adam Lang

This is the first time I’ve posted a pup on his birthday without even talking to anyone about him, but I think his dad will probably understand. You will too, once you see the picture.

I love the idea. Everyone who sees him today can wish Scout a happy birthday!

Look at that sad-puppydog expression. So many people around, and none of them are patting him.

Dog of the Day: The Wags Grooming Parlor Vizsla

Posted on August 6, 2026 by Adam Lang

I don’t know what this pup’s name is, but I do know that her toenails are glorious! Wags always does a good job.

Dog of the Day: Calla Lily the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on August 5, 2026 by Adam Lang

What a great name! I’ve heard of a lot of flower names but this is a new one on me. (How did I think they were called ‘cow lilies’?) Lily is 4, and a happy goof.

I ran into Lily outside of my single favorite donut place in the world.

It’s called Bob’s Donuts. Ask them what’s still warm. Their cake donuts, fresh out of the fryer, are sublime.

I bet Lily would like a donut. Or a dozen!

Dog of the Day: Marley the Standard Poodle

Posted on August 3, 2026 by Adam Lang

Marley is 6 years old, and he just got finished with a round of chemotherapy. I am happy to report that he is doing great, and is healthy and happy!

I have run into several standard poodles lately, and I’d love to see more. Honestly, I don’t see anything about goldendoodles, labradoodles, or the rest, that isn’t all right there in the poodle!

I like this kind of poodle cut. No floofs, nothing excessive, but those dainty little toes!

Bunday Special Edition: O’Hare and Lexus!

Posted on August 2, 2026 by Adam Lang

These two are part of the Alex the Great family… which has just opened up their own warren, or hutch, or burrow, or whatever you call it. Yes, that’s right, on Columbus Avenue at Beach Street there is now a BUNNY CAFE.

I will visit and report back, never fear.

Dog of the Day: Kona the Repeat Customer Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on July 31, 2026 by Adam Lang

Another post of a friend of the blog, Kona (now a year and a half old). I have run into him several times since last post, but always late enough that the light wasn’t good, so I just (‘just’) got to pet him.

Kona is very patient about waiting for me to take pictures before I get down to the serious business of petting him.

Of course, his patience is not unlimited.
