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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
Oh man. Atlas is five, and… and… well just LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT THIS DOG.
Whaaaaaat? If Maizy is a full (four-year-old) Irish setter, where did her RIDICULOUS SIDEBURNS come from?? I have no idea, or I’d go there to visit immediately!
Theo is nine years old! I would not have guessed that… would you? He looks so young and healthy! He’s also only (‘only’) 140 lbs.
I checked out an adoption event a few months ago, and got some cute pictures!
I’ve been a bad boy. This week was pretty overwhelming: the pups and I spent a lot of time together, and dog sitting plus work plus having to take care of some of my own life at the same time turns out to be, you know, work! Well, sadly, I am no longer pup-encumbered (I miss them!). This is a good thing for you folks, though, since it means I should be able to get back to my regular schedule again.
I ran across these two on one of the walks I took with my pup-sitting charges. They were very much uninterested in having anyone, canine or human, walk by their house. Shortly thereafter, I ran across their owner, who assures me that they’re mostly quite nice, although the older one is kind of cranky. They’re mostly just very, very territorial.
