I ran into Moose about 200 feet from where I ran into yesterday’s pup. They look surprisingly similar, both in coloration and size, though not quite in fluffyness. And they’re both 4 months old, and they will both lick you.

Dog of the Day: Sugar the Caucasian Shepherd Puppy
I still have more surf dogs to post, but I’m feeling a little under the weather, and anyway, gotta post a few of the spectators from the surf dog day!

Are you getting tired of these surf dogs yet?
Neither am I!

Sunday Switchup: Surfwatchers
Here’s a (panoramic) look at the crowd of dog surf aficionados from last weekend. This should give you an idea of how crowded it really was. Not shown: the ocean. It was only a bit less occupied.

More Damp Doggies!
Funny, I don’t see any of the dogs falling off the surfboards, but the humans seem to be having a certain amount of… issues.
I just wish there were slightly fewer heads in the way for the last couple of pictures.

More Surf Doggage
Surf dog or BABY SHARK? Only his dad knows for sure.
I love the casual pose in the last one. “Not a problem!”
Surf Dog Day
Another surfer-dog and his (in this case) gal.
(The last picture is from their second run, which worked out quite a lot better.)

Double SURF DOG Day
I spent Saturday at the WORLD DOG SURFING CHAMPIONSHIPS, which are just 20 miles, also known as a two hour drive and then a twenty minute walk, away from my apartment. It turns out that they were insanely popular and there was a five mile traffic jam on the Pacific Coast Highway to get there, and no parking within a mile of the beach. It started at 9:00 AM. I left at 9:15 AM. I got there at 11:30 AM. It was supposed to end at noon. (Fortunately it didn’t.)
Still totally worth it.
The last time I went, it was 2016, and there were about one tenth the number of people there. And I didn’t get ANY good pictures of surfing dogs, because at the time I didn’t have a good long lens. Well, since then, I acquired a 100-500mm Sigma Canon-mount lens, and then a Sony camera body and an adaptor for said lens. So now I can take pretty fair portraits from around half a football-field away.
It was damn tough to find a spot where there weren’t a half-dozen heads in the way, but I did manage to get, oh, a few pretty good shots. I’ll be posting them here over the next week or two.
I really need to find a page with all the contestants’ pictures so I can put names to the noses.

Double Dog Day: Sissy and Bell the Prairie Dogs
Weeell, okay. So they’re not actually prairie dogs, they’re Yorkies. They sure have the ‘standing on their hind legs and looking you over’ thing down pat, though, don’t they?
They are also brother and sister. Sissy, on the left, is 1, and Bell is 3, from two different litters from the same mom and dad.
Dog of the Day: Sohla the Doberman Pinscher Puppy
Sohla (a girl, 5 months old) is named after a word for ‘celebration’ in Hindi. She lives up to her name.
