LION of Pride!

Posted on July 1, 2026 by Adam Lang

I have a couple more pups to post from Pride. This one looks suspiciously leonine!

You would think a lion would be more freaked out by crowds.

Totally took everything in stride!

The Dogs of SF… Pride!

Posted on June 30, 2026 by Adam Lang

I dropped by San Francisco’s Pride celebration last weekend. A couple of times, actually: once on Saturday, and then again to see the parade on Sunday. I didn’t see any dogs in the parade, although I admit I didn’t see all of it. But I did see an awful lot of canine spectators!

No hovertext or captions, too many dogs.

Dog of the Day: Daphne, Mutt of the World

Posted on June 29, 2026 by Adam Lang

My notes say ‘Daphne 11 mutt of the world’. I’m not entirely sure what that means, or what the story behind it was, but I thought it was important that you know it. I do remember that I mentioned that she looked a little like a dingo, though!

That looks an awful lot like an Australian cattle dog butt, doesn’t it?

Nope! Just the angle.

Caturday Supplement: Void With Fish!

Posted on June 27, 2026 by Adam Lang

So I have all my photos stored in Apple’s ‘Photos’ app, which in general works pretty well for me. I liked Aperture better, but Apple discontinued it. I’ve tried a couple of alternatives, but one of them was missing a few features I needed, and the other was… by Adobe. Which nope.

The Photos app had a ‘search’ function for a long time, but in the last couple of macOS releases it’s become accurate enough to be useful. So, like, if I type ‘cat’ into the search bar, most of the things it comes up with are pictures of cats! The only problem is, there seems to be no way to sort the results! So they’re just in a totally random order, and pictures from eight years ago are interspersed with pictures from yesterday. So if I am looking for a cat picture I took a month ago, there’s… no way whatsoever to find it?

That’s insane. WTF, Apple!

Anyway, I just spent around 15 minutes looking for a cat picture I was sure I hadn’t used yet, and this is what I came up with. So here you go… a void with a plushie fishie.

Dog of the Day: Zoe the Greyhound

Posted on June 26, 2026 by Adam Lang

Zoe is eleven! She’s still as energetic as younger greyhounds, though: she zooms all over the place for half an hour every day, and is a couch potato for the other 23 and a half.

(Well, she’s actually not a couch potato for the whole 23 and a half hours, because she also likes walking as well as zooming!)

Dog of the Day: Yuna the Korean Jindo

Posted on June 25, 2026 by Adam Lang

Jindos are among the least social breeds I’ve run across. I think that’s mostly because they are mostly rescued street dogs, though, I don’t think it has as much to do with the breed. (Though admittedly shibas, who look very similar, are pretty standoffish too.) Fortunately for San Francisco, though, Yuna (4) is a friendly, curious pup!

Perfect pupper head tilt!

Sorry they’re a little overexposed, but I thought she was cute enough to overlook it.

Dog of the Day: Atlas the Goofiest Siberian Husky Ever

Posted on June 24, 2026 by Adam Lang

Oh man. Atlas is five, and… and… well just LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT THIS DOG.

Huskies can be very deceptive. For example, this one may LOOK like there’s only one brain cell in there…

…but no dog that’s that dumb can possibly get into as much mischief as this one is capable of.

Atlas was so kind as to give me a look right up his nose.

Dod of the Day: Maizy the (Yes, Purebred!) Irish Setter

Posted on June 23, 2026 by Adam Lang

Whaaaaaat? If Maizy is a full (four-year-old) Irish setter, where did her RIDICULOUS SIDEBURNS come from?? I have no idea, or I’d go there to visit immediately!

I have literally never seen anything like that on a dog before. And after almost 17 years of dog blogging, that’s really saying something.

So beautifully groomed, too.

Dog of the Day: Theodore the St Bernard

Posted on June 22, 2026 by Adam Lang

Theo is nine years old! I would not have guessed that… would you? He looks so young and healthy! He’s also only (‘only’) 140 lbs.

Ran into him right outside the grooming parlor, ‘Wags’.

Unlike a lot of dogs, Theo doesn’t seem to harbor any ill feelings towards Wags for their grooming activities.

Caturday Supplement: Double Blackitty Surprise

Posted on June 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

I checked out an adoption event a few months ago, and got some cute pictures!

I have a soft spot for black cats. They don’t get adopted as often as other color kitties.
