Dog of the Day: Cleo the Papillon Chihuahua Mix

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

It can be a little dicey, chatting with people on city public transit. In this case, though, Cleo (5) was a delightful lady, and her folks were kind of neat too.

I know not everyone is a public transit fan, but I certainly am. And Cleo and her sort are a big reason why!

Dog of the Day: Walden the Korean Jindo

Posted on July 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Walden (3, a boy) the other day, and I saw the nose and though, ‘That looks like the nose of someone I used to know!’ And sure enough, when I asked, “Does Walden need sunblock on his nose?” his dad told me he does indeed have discoid lupus. Fortunately it doesn’t have a huge health impact on dogs, for the most part.

Perfectly nice dog, but he had a lot to tell me.

That’s some master-level side-eye there.

Dog of the Day: (Don’t) Slay the Whippet

Posted on July 4, 2025 by Adam Lang

I do not know the story behind Slay’s name, I just know that she’s 1 and the spit and image of our beloved web site’s logo! Oh and also I know that she has an instagram page. The instagram page says that she’s from LA, but who knows how up to date that is. Maybe she’s moved to SF, or maybe she was just visiting.

Whippet Looking Friendly
The ears! The SMILE! Okay, one other thing I know: I love her.

I bet Slay gets what she wants, most of the time.

Puppy of the Day: German Shepherd Mix

Posted on July 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran out for lunch today, and saw a man and an adorable puppy. I asked how old he was, and the man said that he had no idea because the dog had just run up to him in the middle of the Financial District. No collar, no tags. He was taking the pup to see if there was a microchip, but he also said ‘My last dog died a few months ago, I wonder if the universe is telling me something?’

Lucky guy! I’d adopt him in a heartbeat.

Dog of the Day: Thor the Keeshond Redux

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

I was looking at my notes on Thor today and I thought, “Gee, that name actually sounds vaguely familiar for a keeshond.” And sure enough, we’ve seen Thor before! Only now he’s six. Still causing trouble wherever he goes.

Not sure I’ve seen a pup with spectacle markings like Thor’s… even down to the temple pieces!

Dog of the Day: Moose the Sapsaree

Posted on June 27, 2025 by Adam Lang

We’ve had a couple of sapsaree (sapsali/sapsari) pups before, but it’s definitely not one of my top, say, 200 breeds here, and so it’s always nice to find a pup like Moose (7) wandering around. Especially one with his own instagram!

Those long floofy legs made a great ‘dog toll gate’. Moose got several scratches behind the ears.

Dog of the Day: Aria the Pomeranian Husky Mix

Posted on June 24, 2025 by Adam Lang

Aria is six, and eager to show off her floof! (Aria is such a great name for a dog, especially one that likes to sing, as most husky mixes tend to.)

Adorable Fluffy Pomsky
It was warm in the sun, at least for fuzzy critters like this one, so I gave mom some water from my water bottle for Aria. Yay!

Nana (nanananaheyJude?) is a sweet adorable 4-year-old German shepherd mix, according to her folks. I am the one who guessed husky but I feel pretty confident, what with that STRIPEY NOSE!!

Sorry about the shadows. HDR mode only goes so far when it’s sunny.
