Sunday Switchup: Chianti the Pineapple Conure

Posted on January 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

Chianti (2) and her mom were out taking the air on Friday, when I ran into them. I love this idea: we need more people out walking their birbs.

Chianti has an Instagram, by the way. You should check it out!

I am reliably informed that Chianti speaks three languages!

Conures are the breed of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Although they’re ‘cherry-headed’ and not ‘pineapple’.

Aw man. SF coyotes are carrying mange, and passing it on to pets. Be careful out there, folks!

Dog of the Day: Cody the Shiba Inu

Posted on January 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

Cody, I am reliably informed, ‘loves people but not so much dogs’. Silly pup! Dogs are the best people!

Oh well. I’m sure he gets plenty of love, petting, and play-time from the humans around him.

Dog of the Day: Maple the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix

Posted on January 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

Maple is one of my favorite flavors, and true to her name, Maple (3) is super sweet!

Sigh. On a low-glycemic diet, so she’s the only maple I’ve had in several weeks.

Posted on January 6, 2025 by Adam Lang

Angie is only two, but she’s extremely calm for her age. Especially given her breed mix!

She also looks very wise, doesn’t she?

Sunday Switchup: A Mountain of Clouds

Posted on January 5, 2025 by Adam Lang

Was driving home a few weeks ago and ran across this sight. I am a sucker for cloud-mountains, so I had to pull over and grab a picture or two.

I got some really nice pictures in the Great Smokeys back a few decads ago, but I’ve since lost them. Boo.

Double Dog Day: Fritz the French Bulldog and Loulou the Cockapoo

Posted on January 3, 2025 by Adam Lang

The name Fritz always reminds me of the animated feature Wizards, which I realize is a pretty obscure reference, but what the heck. Anyway, this Fritz (2) is not a wizard, though he seems just as attentive as one. On the other hand, Loulou (a girl, 10) is more laid-back, but every bit as friendly.

He saved his barking for when I decided I had to leave. Funny that.

Loulou was definitely a little mellower.

She wasn’t very forward, but she was definitely up for some petting.

Posted on January 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

Boba’s fifth birthday is today! Happy Boba-day! And Biggie’s is a week from today! Man, these two must be peeved: Christmas and BOTH birthdays are so close together that they probably only get one party!

That… is one ridiculous pug face.

Happy New Year’s Dog: Peach the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on January 1, 2025 by Adam Lang

This is going to be a rough year for me, for a variety of reasons, and probably for a lot of other folks as well. So I think we need a very happy New Year’s Dog to keep our spirits up. Hence, Peach (2, and a boy!)

Peach is a trim corgi. No fat, all muscle and bone. Peach is a trim, thirty-eight pound corgi. Dayum, Peach, you could play professional corgball!

I promise, the apparent spherical nature is an optical illusion.

Dog of the Day: Rocco the Goldendoodle Puppy

Posted on December 30, 2024 by Adam Lang

I got a bunch of adorable pictures of Rocco (11 weeks) and his mom, but he was blurry in all but two and mom was blurry in those two, so I’m afraid you’ll just have to settle for a slightly less adorable one of just Rocco.

That’s eleven weeks? Rocco is gonna be huuuuuuge!
