Posted on March 30, 2026 by Adam Lang

Minnie (3) isn’t very mini, is she?

I would let Minnie rescue me from a snow drift any day!

Dog of the Day: PJ the Birthday Shih Tzu

Posted on March 29, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into PJ on his 4th birthday, which was yesterday! I don’t feel too too bad about not posting until today, since I didn’t actually get home last night until 11:30, which is well past my normal bedtime. (No regrets: I was at a rather nice concert!) So, happy day-after-your-birthday, PJ!

Ran into PJ in one of my favorite dog-spotting spots, Lafayette Park.

Apparently one of her favorite spots for human spotting!

Dog of the Day: Odile the Hungarian Pumi Puppy

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Adam Lang

I saw Odile (six months old, and a girl) at the Civic Center Farmer’s Market last weekend, and I had to go over and tell her mom how awesome I thought her ears were. I asked whether she was a schnauzer mix, and her mom said no, she was a Hungarian pumi! I said, “You mean puli?” And nope, turns out there is another Hungarian breed that is new to me (and the blog). Just when I thought I’d run out of surprises! Well, aside from surprise nose-licks.

Odile is tough to photograph, but I got a few cute ones, don’t you think? No captions or hovertext today, though.

Dog of the Day: Alfie the Australian Shepherd Mix Puppy

Posted on March 26, 2026 by Adam Lang

Alfie is only 9 months old! He’s a big ‘un, isn’t he? And pretty, too! When I saw this pup, I thought he was probably a double merle, and therefore possibly blind and/or deaf.

When I got near him, he looked up at me, so apparently not blind…

And then I told him he was a good boy, and it quickly became obvious that he wasn’t deaf!

Dog of the Day: Blue Merle Border Collie

Posted on March 26, 2026 by Adam Lang

I was in a park the other day, and this fellow spotted me while he was playing fetch. So instead of bringing his ball back to his dad, he just ran over and gave it to me instead. I was honored! And slightly slimed.

I like the Lab in the background too.

Honorary DoSF of the Day: Emma the Belgian Malinois Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix

Posted on March 24, 2026 by Adam Lang

Ran into Emma (3) up in Eureka! Her folks aren’t sure about her breed mix, but I think she looks a lot like malinois corgi mix would, don’t you?

That is a very dubious expression.

Agouti fur pattern. So pretty!

Dog of the Day: Riley the Lakeland Terrier Redux

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Adam Lang

I haven’t run into many Lakelands, but that’s okay, because I’ve run into this adorable now-9-year-old one several times. Hi again, Riley!

For some reason, I cannot seem to remember his breed for long.

Sunday Switchup: Ol’ Baldie

Posted on March 22, 2026 by Adam Lang

A friend and I were driving through a park in Oregon when we saw some people pulled over to the side of the road, and staring up at something. So we pulled over, took a look, and it turned out to be this gentleman, with whom I feel a certain affinity.

Hell of a lens, isn’t it?

Honorary DoSF of the Birthday: Lily the Track-Suited Goldendoodle

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran across Lily on my way through Sea Ranch, a funny little more or less privately owned town entirely populated by rich people several hours north of San Francisco. Not exactly my kind of place, really, though I have visited there once before. They have some nice beaches, and thanks to California’s enlightened laws, nobody is allowed to either own or prevent public access to beaches. So I got to visit a nice beach! And near that beach I met a nice dog, who, it turned out, was turning 7 years old today. Happy birthday, Lily!

I got the story on Lily’s clothing, but I don’t remember it. I am not sure she was thrilled to be wearing it, however. Perhaps it was to keep her from scratching.

Whatever the story, she’s a real sweetheart. Happy birthday, doodle!
