Double Dog Day: Roxie the German Pinscher and Callie the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Dalmatian Mix

Posted on May 28, 2026 by Adam Lang

I’m going to be doing some dogsitting for the next few weeks, and I went to visit the pups over in Albany (California, not New York) a couple weeks ago. While I was there, I ran across Roxie (3) and Callie (1). They were happy to see me!

That’s a lot of snoot!

Apparently Callie is 50/50 Dalmatian Pembroke. Neat!

That is a heck of a lot of puppitude!

Dog of the Day: Bella the Happy Senior German Shepherd Hound Mix

Posted on May 27, 2026 by Adam Lang

Bella looks like she’s a little pooped, huh? Well, she’s seventeen years old, but she’s still a friendly pup, who loves people and back scratches and getting out and about in San Francisco. Just like me!

One of the things I really wish I had was a talent for napping. I just can’t do it, and it would be so nice to get a little sleep during the day now and again.

Dog of the Day: Bailey the Bloodhound

Posted on May 26, 2026 by Adam Lang

Bailey is a four-year-old sweetheart, who really loves visiting the Farmer’s Market. Which is entirely fair, because so do I… especially when Bailey is there!

I bet it’s an even nicer place when you can smell all the wonderful foods right from there.

Puppy of the Day: Bug the Golden Retriever

Posted on May 25, 2026 by Adam Lang

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.

Golden Retriever Puppy Looking Very Intimidated
I am really not used to getting looks like that from dogs. It makes me feel very guilty!

BirthDog of the Day: Finn the FLUFFY WONDER CORGI

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Adam Lang

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‘!

So, 30 minute belly rubs for the birthday boy! Any takers?

Dog of the Day: Nora the Brittany Spaniel

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

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.

Shh, don’t tell anyone I said this, Nora, but you were the cutest dog there.

Dog of the Day: Icee the… Pomski?

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Adam Lang

Icee (3) does NOT look like a Pomski. She is big for a female husky, let alone a Pomeranian mix!

Is it just me or does she also look a little like her brain didn’t quite boot up this morning?

Dog of the Day: Violet the Standard Poodle Service Dog

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Adam Lang

Ran across some other cute animals at the festival yesterday, like Violet, the smart, sweet, and fashionable six-year-old pup!

As I was saying to Violet’s owner, I think it’s a little silly that they’re mixing everything with poodles when poodles themselves are every bit as awesome, and hypoallergenic, as anything-doodles!

Sunday Switchup: Lord Gryphon (Who?)

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Adam Lang

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?)

Lord Gryphon is a pretty little great horned owl, being only five years old. He’s going to get a lot bigger!

Caturday Supplement: Floofy Winky Kitty And Me

Posted on May 16, 2026 by Adam Lang

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!

It’s quite a dirty window, but at least the cat is pretty clear!
