Posted on January 31, 2012 by Adam Lang

This is one of the very few pictures that I haven’t been tempted to edit in one way or another. I just like it. But I wish I could figure out what it was of! He looks like a bigger, … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Moe the Basset Hound/Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Adam Lang

No, Moe isn’t from the dog show. He’s another leftover from last summer’s Bay to Barkers. And according to my notes, he was getting his canine good citizen certification when I took these. So a belated congratulations to Moe, the … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Lilly (Lillyput Gulliver) the Chihuahua

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Adam Lang

I was totally overwhelmed by the dog show, so it’s going to be a while before I post any pictures. Plus, ye gods, it’s DARK in there. With things that move around as much as dogs do, it was murder … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Rhodesian Ridgeback

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Adam Lang

I always forget how big these guys are. They’re rangy! Also, prong collar. Which brings up an anecdote about one difference in the way Autumn and I approach life sometimes. I often wondered if prong collars like that were painful. … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Buddy the Adoptable Smooth-Coated Fox Terrier

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Adam Lang

I find several things about this post hard to believe. First, that Buddy is still adoptable, and nobody has snatched him up yet. He’s so sweet and friendly! Second, that this is not just the first smooth-coated fox terrier we’ve … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Shamus the Skye Terrier

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Adam Lang

It’s getting harder and harder to find dog breeds that I haven’t covered yet, but when I do, they’re often pretty ridiculous. Like this young (well, three-and-a-half-year-old) pup, with ears that … well… I’m not sure what to say about … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Ceili!

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Adam Lang

Some wintery pictures of the honorary Dog of San Francisco, Ceili the wonder pooch. These came from Christmas in Indiana, where Autumn’s family (and Ceili) live. (Actually, a couple days after Christmas… it wasn’t snowy on Christmas.) Ceili loves the … Continue reading →
