Took this one years ago. This was a booth for the Animal Rescue Foundation (Tony La Russa’s organization) with a surprisingly willing mascot, with a surprising array of adjectives: long-haired tiger tabby calico… cat.

Posted on June 26, 2015 by Adam Lang

I have no idea what this pup was, but she was staring out the window at all the dogs going by on the sidewalk outside. The thought bubble was almost visible. I haven’t slept for more than 90 minutes in … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Cool North Beach Labradoodle

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Adam Lang

The labradude labrabides! Ran into this labradoodle, whose name I sadly neglected to record, at the North Beach Festival. I missed the Blessing of the Animals this year, but at least I didn’t miss the coolest labradoodle in the city.

Dog of the Day: Jax the Great Pyrenees Anatolian Shepherd Mix

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Adam Lang

Jax wasn’t feeling it. I’m not sure what it was, and I’m not sure what he was feeling, but he definitely wasn’t feeling it. No excuses, either: he’s only 6! Still practically a puppy. (Incidentally: a Great Pyrenees Anatolian shepherd … Continue reading →

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Adam Lang

A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of dogsitting a gorgeous white shepherd (more or less a white German shepherd, but apparently they’re their own breed now). She’s an older dog, and her kidneys, though still working fine, aren’t … Continue reading →

I haven’t been seeing much of Autumn lately: she’s pretty much working full time on her Pup Scouts job during the day, and spending her nights dogsitting, both for direct clients and through DogVacay. I managed to ambush her last weekend … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Frankie the French Bulldog Puppy

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Adam Lang

Frankie (“Frankie the Frenchie!”) is 13 weeks old in this picture. Sorry for the rather sparse post today, and the lack yesterday. I’ve had a rough couple of days sleep-wise, and badly need to catch up.

Dog of the Day: Max the Border Collie Australian Shepherd Mix

Posted on June 17, 2015 by Adam Lang

Confession time: I love all the dogs of San Francisco, but I do have some favorites. Max (4 years old, and border collie/Australian shepherd is an educated guess) is one of them. I could give you a dozen reasons — … Continue reading →
