Sad Dog Day: Rest In Peace, Dasja the Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on June 28, 2013 by Adam Lang

Some sad news: at somewhere between nine and ten years old, Dasja, one of Autumn’s first and most floofy customers, has passed away. She will be missed; even though Autumn and I only knew her in her later years, when … Continue reading →

(Ugly??) Dog of the Day: Mayzie Brown the 8-Year-Old Pomeranian

Posted on June 27, 2013 by Adam Lang

I’m pretty sure that’s who this pup is, anyway. And I’m sorry, no dog with a face like that is going to win any ‘ugliest dog’ competition… even if her alopecia (‘alpo-pecia’ perhaps?) is acting up more than a little. … Continue reading →

Three (Not-So-Ugly) Dog Night: Two Corgis and a Basset

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Adam Lang

A ugly-dogs break, of sorts: I did run into these three at the ugly dogs competition, but they weren’t contestants, they were ‘breed ambassadors’. (Shouldn’t that be ‘ambassadogs’?)

Double (Ugly) Dog Day: Reggie and Cyndy Loo

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Adam Lang

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 →

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Adam Lang

Another contestant from the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest. Let it never be said that Rascal does not get the publicity that he deserves.

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

Posted on June 23, 2013 by Adam Lang

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 →

‘Ugly’ Dog of the Day: Walle the Beagle/Basset Hound/Pit Bull (?) Mix

Posted on June 22, 2013 by Adam Lang

I dropped by the ‘Ugliest Dog’ competition up in the North Bay yesterday. I couldn’t stay long, but I got some pictures of the contestants, including the winner, Walle. (I’ll be posting more pictures over the next few days.) On … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Buster the 14-Week-Old Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Adam Lang

I only got a few pictures of Buster. I figured it was more important to get in a little quality playtime and some petting. Dogs this cute don’t come along every day, not even in San Francisco.

Dog of the Day: Abby the Rottweiler Service Dog

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Adam Lang

Autumn and I ran into Abby at a local grocery store, where she was being obedient and calm even when faced with giant piles of dog food bags and samples of cheeeeeese. Good on you, Abby!
