Dog of the Day: Maverick the Golden/Labrador Mix

Posted on July 28, 2026 by Adam Lang

Maverick just turned 1 a couple weeks ago, so he’s still hanging onto a lot of puppy energy. Then again, I suspect he still will be in a few years, with that breed mix!

Funny, I see surprisingly few golden/lab accidental crosses around.

Dog of the Day: Once Again!

Posted on July 27, 2026 by Adam Lang

Once (On-say, eleven in Spanish, a mystery shepherd mix) is a repeat customer here… we have a picture from when he was four months old, in March. Now he’s nearly nine months old, and looks all grown up!

Not really sure what kind of shepherd mix he is… German? Belgian?

He still has a little growing to do to grow into those ears.

Sunday Switchup: Blue And Gold Macaw

Posted on July 26, 2026 by Adam Lang

I was walking through Union Square on my way to work last Tuesday and ran across a lovely bird. San Francisco is still full of surprises, even after living here for well over twenty years.

Macaws are really smart birds. I had a friend with one who knew all sorts of tricks.

Of course, he only did them when HE wanted to. Or when there was a little rice with curry on it on offer.

Dog of the Nearly Birthday: Mischa the Carolina Dog

Posted on July 25, 2026 by Adam Lang

Mischa (a girl) had her birthday YESTERDAY. Only this post being late is not my fault this time, because I only met her today. So there!

Carolina Dog Looking Cheerful And Alert
I don’t see a lot of Carolina dogs around, but I believe she’s one: she even has the double-dewclaws.

They look a little like dingoes, don’t they?

Dog of the Day: Poor Bodhi the Staffordshire Terrier Therapy Dog

Posted on July 23, 2026 by Adam Lang

I ran into Bodhi (10) and his mom at a local favorite spot of mine. He’s a sweet, happy therapy dog that works with the local SPCA to provide services to places like schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. He’s also got bone cancer, the poor pup. When I saw him he was still happy and not in pain, so that’s good. But it still makes me very sad. And glad I got a chance to meet him.

Hard to believe he’s a full Staffie… his legs are too long!

Someone was just chillin’ with dad at the pub after a long day. I’m down with it.

The pup was watching everyone walk by on the sidewalk and just having a blast. I love it!

Triple Happy Dog Day: Cody and Rhubarb the Golden Retrievers, and Finn the Labradoodle

Posted on July 20, 2026 by Adam Lang

I need more exposure to Cody (female, 6), Rhubarb (female, 6), and Finn (male, 8). I think they might be addictive, but if so, hey, set me up with a triple dose.

When I got nearby, though, they spotted me and decided I was a good target for the ‘PET ME NOW’ eyes. This is Rhubarb.

This, of course, is Cody, giving some masterful side-eye.

Finn was tough to get a good shot of. This is about the best I could do.

One of the women who were there with the pups has some real talent… she got them all looking in the same direction at the same time!

Marilyn is 23 years old! That’s older than some of my coworkers. And she’s just getting started!
