Dog of the Day: Hachi the Repeat Customer Siberian Husky

Posted on November 9, 2026 by Adam Lang

I first ran across Hachi in 2022, when he was 8 years old. I ran across him again a couple months ago, but the pictures didn’t really come out. Lucky me! I ran into him again last week! And he really hasn’t changed since 2022. So floofy.

Sunday Sorta Switchup: Howl-O-Wieners

Posted on November 8, 2026 by Adam Lang

Well, not just wieners: all kinds of dogs! This isn’t exactly a ‘switchup’ but it’s a nice big pile of dog pictures from the Halloween dog events I went to over the last couple weeks. I didn’t want to swamp the next month with costumed dogs, so I’m just gonna throw them all up here today.

Going to put a few pictures up ‘above the fold’, but you can see all of them by clicking into the article, and clicking on the gallery below. And you should, some of the ones in there are pretty darn cute!

Also FYI I am not sure exactly what is going on, but my site won’t let me create new posts. Fortunately I started this one last week, and I can still edit things. I have spent a couple hours trying to diagnose it, and will continue to do so, and gooooood I haaaaaate woooordpreeeesss…

(Nearly Adoptable) Dog of the Day: Wren the Unknown Mix Puppy

Posted on November 5, 2026 by Adam Lang

Man, getting old stinks. I have one crown already, and I have a dental appointment (postponed twice because dental insurance stinks even more than getting old does) to get a new crown on a new tooth next Tuesday. And just a few minutes ago, what do you think happened? My existing crown — the one I got a year ago to replace one that broke in half — fell off. I didn’t swallow it, happily, and it’s all in one piece, but jeez.

Wren, I think, was having an even worse day when I took this picture than I am right now. She’s a resident at the SF SPCA, although either she’s not yet listed in their adoption page (most likely) or she’s already been adopted. And she was definitely pretty overwhelmed and unhappy when I saw her, although she seemed to like her friend here, so that’s good at least.

If you need a pup, keep an eye out for Wren on the SPCA site… she’s going to make someone a great friend!

Dog of the Day: Cavalier Mix Maybe?

Posted on November 4, 2026 by Adam Lang

Not sure what breed the orange leggings come from: maybe he’s part ‘hallo-wiener’?

Dog of the Day: Either Cosi or Tessa the Italian Greyhound

Posted on November 3, 2026 by Adam Lang

I took some pictures of both Cosi (1) and Tessa (3) the other day. And because they are Italian greyhounds, all of them were either blurry or with half a dog outside the frame except for this one. I love this one, but I don’t know if this is Cosi or Tessa! Maybe their folks will weigh in in the comments?

That’s not an owner, that’s just a new friend.

Dog of the Day: (Furry) Caper the Labradoodle Puppy

Posted on November 2, 2026 by Adam Lang

A very long time ago, I was part of a Morris dance team at college. One of the dance moves they have is a funny step-hop thing that they called a ‘furry caper’, and that’s what I thought of when I saw Caper (6 months) dancing around and being silly.

Sunday Switchup: Howl-o-ween Cake

Posted on November 1, 2026 by Adam Lang

I started putting together a Howl-O-Ween post for today, but it’s now an hour later and I’m still not finished, so I think that might have to wait for another day. But I’ll tell you a funny story, today, instead. A couple dressed their cute little pups up in pretty frilly dresses and decorated a wagon with ‘Quinceañera’, and made some cupcakes and a cake and everything.

And, with an amazing decoration sense and an utter and complete lack of foresight, they put the cake on a little shelf on the outside of the wagon, right near the ground. And then they went off to a Howl-O-Ween celebration and surrounded themselves with other dogs. I was taking pictures and they were chatting with someone else with a dog, and I glanced down and said ‘Umm, you might want to…’ and gestured to where the dog was helping herself to some cake.

Now I feel kind of bad about it. I mean, I kind of feel like I should have just left her to it!

Not sure where Bubba (3) got his name, but he’s a big happy goofy pup!
