Posted on March 4, 2016 by Adam Lang

Who could possibly resist an 11-week-old golden retriever puppy? I ran into Liam at the Ferry Building during their farmer’s market, the same day as Gus. Liam was completely exhausted, mostly by having to stop and play with every single person … Continue reading →

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Adam Lang

I ran across a Boston terrier puppy and a pit bull puppy playing ecstatically a couple weeks ago. They were going completely nuts, and everyone nearby was just standing around watching and occasionally bursting into giggles. Of course it’s next to … Continue reading →

Happy birthday to me, huh? Or, at least, if not exactly happy, at least… eventful. Perhaps I’ll tell you all about it someday. At the very least, Autumn and I went out to a rather nice dinner at a very … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Kona the Basenji German Shepherd Mix

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Adam Lang

Sunday Switchup: Superb Owl 50
