Reggie is a Peruvian hairless dog mix (my guess is Australian cattle dog), and Rue is a Chinese crested. They’re best friends, and were out to take the Sonoma-Marin Fair by storm. They may not have won the contest, but … Continue reading

(Ugly) Dog of the Day: Rascal the Chinese Crested Dog

(‘Ugly’) Dog of the Day: Sophie the Chihuahua Mix

Hmf. I almost think of this as ‘elder abuse’. Sophie is 17… even by a generous interpretation, that’s at least 102 in human years. If I’m still around at 102, I bet I won’t look so hot myself! And yet, … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Lina the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

I ran into this pup on one of her first days in the city, after moving here from Texas. She was a little intimidated by all the noise, fuss, and people, but I saw her again a few days later … Continue reading

Birder-Day Supplement: House Finch

How have I never noticed these guys around before? They’re so pretty! And they’re apparently ultra-common, too. And loud. Did I mention loud? They’re not quite on a level with the parrots, but they’re up there. (Please do correct my … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Oh My God I Totally Cannot Handle Willow the Eurasier Puppy

So, I just recently posted my second Eurasier. It was less than a week later that I happened to be wandering by The Groom Room (grooming place right near my apartment) and squealed like an 11-year-old girl. And then I … Continue reading
