Dog of the Day: Balder the Beautiful

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Adam Lang

When I ran into Baldr, I kept thinking that I’d run into a dog named Baldr before (though I was thinking they had spelled it ‘Baldur’), but I couldn’t find anything on the site. And then the next day, the very next day, I ran into Balder! This Balder is ‘the Beautiful’, and is a standard poodle. And since I found out how that name was spelled, I went and looked, and lo and behold: I have met him before… in 2011! He was 3 then, so I guess he’s 11-ish now. You wouldn’t know it, would you?

Balder was looking especially beautiful, since he’d just been groomed the day before.

He liked poking his nose all up in my bidnezz.

Dog of the Day: Baldr the Blue-tee-ful!

Posted on April 22, 2019 by Adam Lang

I met Baldr the Blue (Australian cattle dog with a tail!) when I was visiting a friend’s office. Baldr did not want me to talk to my friend. Baldr did not want me to go to the bathroom. Baldr did not want me to pay attention to anything but Baldr, because Baldr has an uncanny sense for who can, in fact, be suckered into paying attention to Baldr.

Baldr was, of course, named after the Norse god. Who was ALSO amazingly beautiful.

He got a little noisy. I think I may have disturbed his coworkers. (He is, of course, a Chief Happiness Officer.)

Bunday Edition: Coco!

Posted on April 21, 2019 by Adam Lang

I was wandering around downtown San Francisco yesterday, walking by a little bunch of bushes next to a plaza, when suddenly I caught a glimpse of a … dog? Cat? Nope! It was a rabbit! Well, two rabbits, but I am saving one for another bunday.

So meet Coco, the one with the ridiculous haircut. His family took him out for a wander, and he seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit. He didn’t really want to meet me, though.

This is where Coco retreated to as soon as he saw me.

He thought about coming back, but this was about as close as he came.

Caturday Supplement: Little Grem-Grem In The Jungle

Posted on April 20, 2019 by Adam Lang

I got to say hello to my fluffy friend again last week. This time he grudgingly decided I wasn’t so terrible after all, so I got some kitty cuddles.

Grem has his own little hiding spot to curl up in. It’s pretty adorable.

Dog of the Day: Connor the Irish Doodle

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Adam Lang

Connor, one of Autumn’s two family dogs, has showed up here before. But I just had to show off these new pictures taken by her folks, because, well, you’ll see.

If we ask nicely in the comments section, maybe we can get some more pictures of Connor’s ‘new look’.

I can’t stop giggling. He doesn’t seem quite as amused, though, does he?

Dog of the Day: Mazie the Dotes- Er, I Mean The Basenji

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Adam Lang

Mazie didn’t like the look of me, so she turned me upside down. It seemed to help.

Somehow dad’s eyebrows floating above her head amuses me.

Mazie really liked being held this way. I wonder if it was the head rush.

Dog of the Day: Zenny the Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy

Posted on April 16, 2019 by Adam Lang

Zenny is 9 months old, and a real handful. And she wanted me to tell you that she likes hugs.

Flufy Tricolor Miniature Australian Shepherd

When I hear the name ‘Zenny’ I think of stand-up arcade games from 1980s Capcom. (They used the currency ‘Zenni Coins’.) Am I dating myself?

Look at the little floof of hair on the top of her head.

Dog of the Day: Fionn Mac Cumhaill (aka Finn MacCool) the Dachshund Terrier Mix

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Adam Lang

I saw this dog the other day and I thought, oh god, someone has had just as long a day as I have. And then I found out that this someone’s name was ‘Fionn Mac Cumhaill, AKA Finn MacCool, named after the great Irish hero of legend. We’ve featured the great great great great x umpity grandson of one of Fionn’s dogs on here before, way back when Autumn was in Ireland in oh my god was that really nine years ago 2010, so it’s quite nice to also get Fionn himself.

Fionn is 2, and thus not of age to drink. So no, he did not in fact empty that glass of wine himself.

Almost all of the cats eventually came out of their shells at least a bit by the end of the celebration.
