Dog of the Day: Windsor the Irish Setter English Cocker Spaniel Mix

Posted on July 8, 2026 by Adam Lang

Windsor (9) is half English and half Irish. I guess it makes a certain amount of sense that he’s orange, huh?

Definitely a first for this combination!

Dog of the Day: Rennie the Korean Jindo

Posted on July 6, 2026 by Adam Lang

Ran into Rennie (10) on the way home from work one day last month. I usually don’t walk home via Huntingdon Square Park, because it involves some rather steeper terrain than most of the other ways I can go, but I think I might start doing it more often. There is always a lovely crowd of dogs and their humans socializing there in the evenings.

There used to be wine-and-cheese get-togethers there occasionally, pre-COVID. I wonder if they’ve started again?

Sunday Switchup: Crow

Posted on July 5, 2026 by Adam Lang

I have had an eventful weekend! Well, sort of. On Thursday I felt like I was coming down with a head cold, which kind of sucks. On Friday afternoon I was washing my hands and I suddenly sneezed so hard that I tweaked my back, which promptly went into muscle spasms. And every time I coughed, sneezed, or moved for the next day it went into spasm.

Getting old! Every day is a new adventure.

My back isn’t spasming any more, anyway. So have a crow.

He was scolding me, so I took his picture. He kept scolding me.

Beast of the Day: Hair Bear!

Posted on July 2, 2026 by Adam Lang

Our last Pride post: I ran into this pup at pride and immediately thought of a 1970s cartoon called Help, It’s The Hair Bear Bunch!

Look at that. Gotta admit, it’s impressive!

Could definitely be in a hair band!

Amazingly calm, for such a chaotic situation, too.

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.

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!

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