Dog of the Day: Hansel the Giant Schnauzer Puppy

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Adam Lang

Can you believe that Hansel is only 4 months old in this picture? He’s so huge! After intermittent problems for the last couple of months, my camera has given up the ghost. At first I was like, ‘Come on, Canon, … Continue reading →

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Adam Lang

This dog clearly loves being part of a dog pack, valuing the security and sense of belonging that only a pack can provide. I’m sure she loves running around too.

Dog of the Day: Brookie (aka Brooklyn) the Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on July 24, 2013 by Adam Lang

Brooklyn is a perfect name for this pup. He’s got a little attitude, and perhaps a bit of a crusty exterior, but is a total softy at heart. (Although he has no concept of personal space whatsoever.)

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Adam Lang

Major is the 11-month-old border collie, and Kayla is the 4-month-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel. They make a ridiculous couple. I’m sorry for being so flaky over the last couple weeks. Late posts, missing posts, etc. Part of it has … Continue reading →

Birderday Supplement: Keeping an Eye on San Francisco’s Murder Rate

Posted on July 20, 2013 by Adam Lang

I heard these birds squawking long before I managed to see where they were perched. There were LOTS of them, and man, were they loud. (I just realized that the title could be mistaken for some kind of political statement … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Gorgeous German Shepherd Puppy

Posted on July 18, 2013 by Adam Lang

I don’t remember this pup’s name, but I do remember that I ran into her right outside of Yoshi’s Jazz Club, on Fillmore, right after I had dinner there. And it was so dark that I wouldn’t have ordinarily bothered … Continue reading →
