BirthDog of the Day: Finn the FLUFFY WONDER CORGI

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into Finn a few days ago, and he told me (in his own wonderful way) that he was turning six years old today. And that he has an instagram page called ‘Finn the fluffy wonder corgi‘!

So, 30 minute belly rubs for the birthday boy! Any takers?

Dog of the Day: Nora the Brittany Spaniel

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

Nora is one year old, and if she had very little attention left over for me, it was because there were a gaggle of other cute dogs running around the park, so I can hardly blame her.

Shh, don’t tell anyone I said this, Nora, but you were the cutest dog there.

Dog of the Day: Icee the… Pomski?

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Adam Lang

Icee (3) does NOT look like a Pomski. She is big for a female husky, let alone a Pomeranian mix!

Is it just me or does she also look a little like her brain didn’t quite boot up this morning?

Dog of the Day: Violet the Standard Poodle Service Dog

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Adam Lang

Ran across some other cute animals at the festival yesterday, like Violet, the smart, sweet, and fashionable six-year-old pup!

As I was saying to Violet’s owner, I think it’s a little silly that they’re mixing everything with poodles when poodles themselves are every bit as awesome, and hypoallergenic, as anything-doodles!

Sunday Switchup: Lord Gryphon (Who?)

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Adam Lang

I went to an Irish cultural festival today. Apparently great horned owls are part of Irish culture? Or maybe they’re just fans, like me. This one is an avian ambassador from Falcon’s Court, a nonprofit that does educational visits to schools with birds of prey. Apparently they mostly do them in SoCal, because up around here most of the schools that were involved stopped participating during COVID and never started again. Boo! (Boo who?)

Lord Gryphon is a pretty little great horned owl, being only five years old. He’s going to get a lot bigger!

Caturday Supplement: Floofy Winky Kitty And Me

Posted on May 16, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran across this kitty while I was wandering around SF, and tried to get a few pictures. Unfortunately this is as close as I get to playing with kitties, most weeks. Pity!

It’s quite a dirty window, but at least the cat is pretty clear!

Site News: Apologies for the Outage

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Adam Lang

So funny story: I was hosting my site from home while I moved my colocated server from one place to another. Got it there, had some problems, they fixed them, hooray. And then my HOME internet started playing up, so that it was going to take six hours to transfer the site from home to the new colocated server. So I complained to my home provider, and they … broke things waaaaay worse.

So I had to find a workaround to copy my 70 gig virtual machine up to the colocated server. And it still took six hours. And now it’s 3 AM and the site’s working and I am royally hacked off and I wonder when I’m going to be able to manage to get to sleep. BAH. Also HUMBUG.

Dog of the Day: Marble the French Bulldog Staffordshire Terrier Mix

Posted on May 13, 2026 by Adam Lang

Marble (4) looks a lot like a big Frenchie, but it turns out he’s a mix. And he’s very friendly when there isn’t food involved. I can relate!

Ran into him at a cute little mostly-outdoor cafe down near the ball park. I really ought to go there more often, the food’s yummy — as Marble can attest — and there are always plenty of dogs.

I get it. Life is too short to always keep your pups away from the human food.

Puppy of the Day: Cece the Toy Poodle

Posted on May 12, 2026 by Adam Lang

Cece is only 8 months old, but she’s already got her own clothing line, or at least an instagram called ‘cece.couture‘! There are only seven posts so far: let’s encourage her!

Double Dog Day: Henry and Didi the Pomeranian Husky Mixes… Really?

Posted on May 11, 2026 by Adam Lang

According to dad, these two are pomskis. Not sure I believe that, they look pretty Pom to me!
