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.
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!
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.
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 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?
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.
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?
Not sure if this guy is a mix or just an akita with one floppy ear.
Gorgeous! That one little bit of blue in his eye is so distinctive.
I don’t know this pup’s name, but you gotta admire the fashion sense!
