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

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.

Sunday Switchup: Bark!

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

Caturday Supplement: Sneaky, Sneaky!

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

Dog of the Day: Gus the Australian Shepherd

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!

Look at this, we have another Zoe(y) to post, and it’s even her birthday (on Tuesday): she’s 9 years old! You certainly wouldn’t know it from looking at her, would you?

I don’t know how you get up ears like that out of a husky/lab mix. Aren’t they glorious?

Dog of the Day: Enzo the Pomeranian

I thought maybe I’d posted this pup before, but it turns out I’d just seen a couple other dogs named Enzo. So everyone welcome Enzo (1) and his remarkable aura of floof to the blog!

No captions or hovertext today. Too many cute pictures, and too few brain cells this fine Friday night. Make sure you see the last one, though: caught him mid-shake!
