I admit it, the fact that Bug (5 months) looks so terrified in this picture is because of the weeeeird noises I made. They intrigue most dogs, but for her they were the SCARIEST THING EVER. Sorry, pup, I’ll try not to be so mean next time.
Also sorry I was AWOL from the blog: I spent this weekend at a tabletop gaming convention, sitting around tables with fellow enthusiasts, and not getting home until all hours, and then getting up at all other hours. It was fun but man am I bushed.
I ran into Finn a few days ago, and he told me (in his own wonderful way) that he was turning six years old today. And that he has an instagram page called ‘Finn the fluffy wonder corgi‘!
Nora is one year old, and if she had very little attention left over for me, it was because there were a gaggle of other cute dogs running around the park, so I can hardly blame her.
Icee (3) does NOT look like a Pomski. She is big for a female husky, let alone a Pomeranian mix!
Ran across some other cute animals at the festival yesterday, like Violet, the smart, sweet, and fashionable six-year-old pup!
I went to an Irish cultural festival today. Apparently great horned owls are part of Irish culture? Or maybe they’re just fans, like me. This one is an avian ambassador from Falcon’s Court, a nonprofit that does educational visits to schools with birds of prey. Apparently they mostly do them in SoCal, because up around here most of the schools that were involved stopped participating during COVID and never started again. Boo! (Boo who?)
I ran across this kitty while I was wandering around SF, and tried to get a few pictures. Unfortunately this is as close as I get to playing with kitties, most weeks. Pity!
So funny story: I was hosting my site from home while I moved my colocated server from one place to another. Got it there, had some problems, they fixed them, hooray. And then my HOME internet started playing up, so that it was going to take six hours to transfer the site from home to the new colocated server. So I complained to my home provider, and they … broke things waaaaay worse.
So I had to find a workaround to copy my 70 gig virtual machine up to the colocated server. And it still took six hours. And now it’s 3 AM and the site’s working and I am royally hacked off and I wonder when I’m going to be able to manage to get to sleep. BAH. Also HUMBUG.
Marble (4) looks a lot like a big Frenchie, but it turns out he’s a mix. And he’s very friendly when there isn’t food involved. I can relate!
Ran into him at a cute little mostly-outdoor cafe down near the ball park. I really ought to go there more often, the food’s yummy — as Marble can attest — and there are always plenty of dogs.
Cece is only 8 months old, but she’s already got her own clothing line, or at least an instagram called ‘cece.couture‘! There are only seven posts so far: let’s encourage her!
