I saw Milo (5) outside of a rather yummy local restaurant, Cotogna. (Amazing food! I don’t go very often, but that’s because 1) it’s fairly pricey, and 2) I am surrounded by a thousand very yummy restaurants so I can never choose). I certainly hope that Milo got at least a little something to eat while he was there, because if I had to sit outside Cotogna in the middle of all those yummy smells for two hours I’d go nuts.
Wait, what? Is Alibi (4) our first Scottish deerhound? How could that be?
As it turns out, he sort of is. I’ve taken pictures of Scottish deerhounds twice before: once in September of 2023 (when I took pictures of Alibi the 13 month old Scottish deerhound) and once in January of 2025 (when I took pictures of Alibi the 2 year old Scottish deerhound).
I just went back and looked, and the ones from 2025 were pretty rough by anyone’s standards (mostly dog-shaped blurs) but some of the 2023 pictures were pretty cute. So here you go, our first Scottish deerhound, the first two pictures from when he was a year old and the second two from just a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
We have another recovering pup here today: Pistachio (3) got into a minor disagreement with a car, according to my notes, hence the temporary leg covering. Also according to my notes, Pistachio can often be seen in a window near the bottom of the Lombard Street ‘crooked block’, so if you go there, keep an eye out for her!
I was trying to type ‘border collie’ but it came out ‘borker collie’ and I think I like it so I’m gonna leave it that way! I bet Sparky (4) likes it that way too.
Finris Nugget Voltron Bean, aka Fenris the Mighty Nugget of Instagram fame, is 17 years old. He’s also blind, has no teeth, and is missing one toe, but he is still a happy (if extremely goofy) pupper!
Indiana Bones (5), naturally!
Kobe (2) wasn’t especially shy, as you can see, but he would have been pretty tough to photograph indoors on the floor as anything other than a long blur.
Sorry for the radio silence the last few days, but I’ve been on a little vacation to Wisconsin (to Milwaukee Irish Fest!) and the daytime has been quite full and the nighttime has been pretty awful (sleep problems) so I haven’t been thinking about the site very much. But today I’m on my way home, and so to celebrate the return of your regularly scheduled blogging, here is a picture of an honorary Dog of San Francisco that I just met in the O’Hare airport: Harvey the you’d-never-know-he-was-twelve Pemmie!
Lapo is only one year old, and quite an unusual mix: you don’t see a lot of Pyreneeses wandering around the neighborhood impregnating other dogs, huh?
Bell is 1, and I hope she will always act just like she does now, because she is awesome.
