Caturday Supplement: Catnappy Calico

Posted on October 24, 2026 by Adam Lang

I dropped by the SFSPCA on Thursday to reload on kitty pictures. And sure enough, there were an awful lot of adorable little kittens. You should go over there right now and adopt one!

It’s tough taking indoor no-flash pictures of wiggly kittens. Fortunately they weren’t all TOO wiggly.

Dog of the Day: Zepha the German Shepherd American Pit Bull Terrier Mix

Posted on October 22, 2026 by Adam Lang

I may have gotten some pictures of Zepha (3) before: she sometimes accompanies her dad to the farmer’s market I frequent. I don’t think I’ve ever asked her name before, though. I’m sure she’s a very big help to her dad.

Whoo. Got my COVID, flu, and TDaP vaccine earlier today and I’m already feeling it. I think tomorrow’s going to be quite a day.

I dunno if I buy the German shepherd mix. Or that could have been a different dog, although there doesn’t seem to be an appropriate one in my pictures at the right time.

I felt bad: she was on a leash and I was staying JUST far enough away from her that she couldn’t lick me.

Dog of the Day: Ezra the Mini Poodle

Ezra was hanging out at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market a couple weeks ago. He was guarding the shopping!

Dog of the Day: Bailey the Exceptionally Good Siberian Husky Australian Shepherd Mix

Posted on October 19, 2026 by Adam Lang

There is a little stall-style artisan dog treat store (yes, really) called Mishka Dog Boutique outside the San Francisco Ferry Building, next to a restaurant stall and a coffee stall. That’s where I ran across Bailey (4) and her folks. The box she is carrying around is the treats they bought for her. She will happily carry it all the way home, without damaging the box or snaffling any treats. What a good girl!

The treats are absolutely gorgeous. Of course, I’m not sure the dogs quite appreciate the workmanship.

Quite a change of expression there. Don’t remember what I did to incite it.

I am informed that while she is definitely a good girl, she will not carry anything ELSE all the way home for her folks.

Saw this in Sacramento, at the 19th Q Street Park. I am not honestly quite sure what it is all about, but I approve!

Someone was hiding in the long grass. He was pretty sure I couldn’t see him!

Dog of the Day: Gus the Australian Shepherd

Posted on October 17, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into Gus (5) at a local burger joint I was eating at, sitting in the outdoor ‘parklet‘ (San Francisco closes down some of its parking spaces to provide outdoor seating or other conveniences for local businesses, which is awesome). I, of course, determined that I was absolutely required to sit next to Gus and his folks. I think they might have thought I was hitting on them at the start, not that I even noticed that while I was there since I was way too busy saying hello to Gus. Fortunately they didn’t hold onto that idea for long, and we had a nice long chat-and-dog-petting session while I waited a reeeeally long time for my food and they ate theirs.

I am reliably informed that Gus was named after the mousie in Disney’s Cinderella. Aww!

Kyara is five months old, and scrappy, scruffy, and ready to play!
