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!

Sunday Switchup: Anna’s Hummingbird

Posted on May 10, 2026 by Adam Lang

I always stop to smell the jasmine when I run across some. I feel like this fellow is a real kindred spirit.

Thinking of getting a new phone this year, with a less impressive camera than my current one, so I’ve been looking at getting a pocket camera with a really good zoom range, like I had back a decade ago. It’s pretty amazing: there are very few decent pocket cameras currently being made. I have to look at used ones, ten years old!

It really is pretty amazing how good cell phone cameras are, considering their size.

Still though, they’re not nearly as good for distance or small shots as a camera with a zoom.

Caturday Supplement: Floofy and Mildly Irritated

Posted on May 9, 2026 by Adam Lang

I was walking a pup up in the Sacramento area a few weeks ago and we ran across a cute and fluffy denizen. The dog was quite interested, but a lot less, ah, enthusiastic than she would have been a few years back… maybe she’s mellowing a little bit.

The cat wasn’t thrilled, but you can see: her back is a little arched and her eyes are narrowed, but her ears aren’t back. She just patiently waited until I dragged the pup away before going about her business.

There are a LOT outdoor cats in that neighborhood. The poor birdies.

Double Damp Dog Day: Tyoga and Lassen the Australian Shepherds

Posted on May 8, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into these two pups up in a nice little park a bit north of Sacramento called ‎⁨Hidden Falls Regional Park⁩. It has a whole bunch of little waterfalls and pools and stuff. Apparently there are even otters, although I didn’t see any of them, alas. I did see these two adorable specimens though!

This is Lassen. He’s 2 years old.

And that makes him Tyoga, who is, believe it or not, eleven!

They were having an absolute blast in the stream. And I got a great deal of the stream all over me when I petted them. WORTH IT.

Dog of the Day: Hana the Siberian Husky

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Adam Lang

I took Hana’s picture on Star Wars Day: May the Fourth be with you! She’s ten, but you’d never know it from anything except her dignified and ladylike demeanor.

She also made some silly husky noises while I was there, but again, they were dignified husky noises!

Puppy of the Day: Indigo the Australian Shepherd

Posted on May 6, 2026 by Adam Lang

Indigo (8 months, a boy) and I hit it off right off the bat. And then he hit it off with everyone else in the area, too. Luckily, I’m not the jealous type!

I have just met him and I love him.

Dogs of the KVMR Celtic Festival

Posted on May 5, 2026 by Adam Lang

I went to a nice Celtic festival over the weekend. There were some really nice dogs there! Plus I think maybe someone might have crept into my pics who isn’t, strictly speaking, a dog. Can you spot him?

Dog of the Day: Sapphire the Blond Doberman Pinscher

Posted on May 4, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into Sapphire (5) a couple of times recently. Apparently I also ran into her dad’s previous pup, Bear, but I apparently also didn’t get his name down so I don’t know which one he was. Bad dog-blogger, bad!

Also in the ‘bad dog-blogger’ list has been my radio silence of the past few days. I went to a music festival, where I did zero blogging but a lot of dog-photographing, so stay tuned for a pile of pics from Grass Valley, California in the next couple of days.

First time I saw her I thought ‘man that is the lightest pharaoh hound I’ve ever seen!’ Nope!

Dog of the Day: Deborah the Lots Of Things Mix From Hong Kong

Posted on April 29, 2026 by Adam Lang

Deborah is a great (5-year-old) pup with a great story: she was born on a construction site in Hong Kong, and was (briefly) a street dog, before being adopted by her current family. Her mom got a DNA test, and apparently she’s got some shiba inu and some Australian kelpie and some other things. I can definitely see the kelpie, can’t you?

He’s sure come a long way from his roots!

Dog of the Day: Akita (Mix?)

Posted on April 28, 2026 by Adam Lang

Not sure if this guy is a mix or just an akita with one floppy ear.

Most of my pictures have this expression on his face. He looks so happy!

Hee hee white mustache!
