Dog of the Day: Martin the Corgi Mix

Half corgi, half something else: mom and I both hazarded a guess at maybe Sheltie, but he’s 100% corgi-shaped, so it’s tough to say. But as with every corgi mix, he’s 150% awesome.

Dog of the Day: Pekingese

Saw this pup on the bus, just chilling. Neither nervous and high-strung nor overly sociable. Greeted everyone who stopped to say hello, but didn’t get too wiggly. All in all, a very well-trained lapdog.

Dog of the Day: The Backpack Zoey!

We’ve seen this puplet before: it’s Zoey, the Pomeranian/Chihuahua/dachsund mix. She’s all grown up now, but she still fits handily in mom’s pack.

Dog of the Day: Oh my God is that a Westie?!?

Oh man. I, uh, don’t want to suggest that this was actually abusive, because the woman walking this dog seemed to treat her quite well, and the dog obviously loved her, but… who would shave a Westie?

Dog of the Day: Unknown Mix

Not really sure what breed mix this guy was. And I only saw him through a fence, unfortunately. But he was awfully cute. Maybe someone else can help me out here?

Dog of the Day: Watson, All Dressed Up For Easter!

I’m dogsitting Watson, and I decided to be a little cruel and get some pictures of him dressed up for Easter. Sadly, it’s kind of tough to both keep the clothes (mostly the hat) on him and take the pictures. … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Oggie the GIANT Shetland Sheepdog

Oggie, at 48 pounds, is the biggest Sheltie I’ve ever seen. He’s named after Augie Doggie (with, obviously, a slightly different spelling) from the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon, which I now vaguely remember from my misspent youth. Ran into him again … Continue reading
