Caturday Supplement: Niko (Nikola) the BENGAL TIGER

Niko (1, a boy) is very much a tiger in his own mind. He even likes prowling his domain, at least to a certain extent. And he sure loves introducing himself to the rest of the community. Niko is not shy!

Niko has an instagram page and it’s too cute. You have been warned.

I don’t have any pictures of me petting Niko, but rest assured, I spent more time petting than I did taking pictures.

Dog of the Day: Mimi the Collie

Been a while since we saw any collies, and then we get one last week and then Mimi, 5 years old, today. I’m spoiling you guys, I swear.

Happy Fluffy Collie Grinning
This dog must leave POUNDS of fur around. I wonder why there seems to be no such thing as a ‘colliedoodle’.

Dog of the Day: Gusgus the Bernadoodle

Bernadoodles are nearly as ‘happy stoner of the dog world’ as golden retrievers are. Gusgus, who will be two in April, is no exception.

Sunday Switchup: Babe Ridge

Just say it out loud and you’ll get it.

View Of Bay Bridge From Telegraph Hill
A bunch of TV shows had main characters that lived right near this spot (on Telegraph Hill). You can see why, it’s super picturesque.

Dog of the Day: Finley the Dachshund And (Sorta) Birthday Puppy

So okay hear me out: a one-year-old dog is about similar to a twelve year old kid: almost finished getting taller, not finished filling out, physically able to do most things an adult can but sooooo not ready to actually be an adult. So it just makes sense to me that a one-year-old dog should get twelve birthdays, and that equals one a month, and so Finley, who was born seven months ago today, is having a birthday today, and this is a hill that I will die on.

(Sorry, next week I’ll have a cat for you on caturday but this was important.)

Finley has an instagram and even the NAME is awesome: fin4theween!

Dog of the Day: Parked Collie

Ran across two separate collies last week. Unusual! This one was ‘parked’ outside a local coffee shop. I sure hope he got a pup-a-cino!

Floofly Collie Lying On The Sidewalk
Two pictures, and three minutes worth of petting the floof. A good trade, I’d say. (By which I mean, I got two things I liked!)

Dog of the Day: Frank the “Mutt”

Part border collie? Australian shepherd? Other things? Not sure. I just know that Frank is 4, and Frank is fun.

Black And White Dog With Red Leash
I promise I’m not holding the leash. I just wish I were.

Repeat Customer of the Day: Rufus the Puli

I first ran into Rufus a year and a half ago, when he was one year old, when he was but a wee pre-puli with no dreadlocks at all. Today he looks a lot different!

White Puli With Magnificent Dreadlocks
Well, now I know what a white puli with dreadlocks looks like: a R-A-G-G-M-O-P-P ragmop!

Caturday Supplement: Lola the Ridiculous

This is a friend of Autumn’s in New York.

Very Sad Looking White Cat With Folded Ears
I’m not sure I’d be able to leave the house with this cat going un-petted.
Cat Face With Huge Sad Eyes
Yeah I think that might be the saddest cat-face I’ve ever seen.
