Dog of the Day: Doug the Standard Dachshund

Doug the standard dachshund is 8, and therefore predates the golden retriever in Up, but he’s very used to being asked whether that was the inspiration for his name. No matter how many other dachshunds I see, standard dachshunds (which … Continue reading

Double Dog Day: Two Belgian Shepherds, a Malinois and a Tervuren

I first saw these two in a hurry on the way by, and snapped a couple pictures without really thinking about them. Now, looking at them more closely, I realize that they’re a matched set, together constituting half of the … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Maremma Sheepdog

I was heading down to meet Autumn a few weeks ago — she was dogsitting for a gorgeous dog, and I wanted to meet her — and my mood wasn’t terribly pleasant, as it was raining periodically, the busses were not … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Wrigley the Fluffy Goldendoodle

Wrigley (a male, 1 year old super fluffy goldendoodle) is not the shy and retiring sort. Definitely not the sort of dog who has any trouble making his needs known. Autumn and I ran into him outside a store, and … Continue reading

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a doggie bag, I believe one is in order. I did not get this one’s name or breed, her mom being in rather an obvious hurry (though very, very gracious) but we made … Continue reading

It’s raining golden retrievers over the last week or so, isn’t it? Well, that’s okay, they’re gorgeous dogs, whether they’re ridiculously happy-looking or turning on the sad puppydog eyes. Sadie is a lovely example of the breed, and at a … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Sad-Eyed Golden Retriever

Autumn and I were having brunch at a sidewalk cafe (the better to see all the dogs go by, of course) and we heard a lot of really loud barking. Like a lot. Like a half hour of intermittent but … Continue reading
