Dog of the Day: Bubbles the Stratfordshire/Bulldog/Boxer Mix?

My notes are a little unclear on the breed mix, but they were very definite on the fact that Bubbles loves everyone, and doesn’t much like the muzzle. (Required when riding on Muni, sadly.) I ran into her a couple … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: “Puppy” the 10-year-old Husky/Lab/Samoyed/Aussie/Whaaaatever!

Dog of the Day: Rex the Russian Spaniel Mix

Алло, да, это собака! It’s nice that my four years of Russian class hasn’t left me utterly helpless in the face of Russian-ness. For example, when I meet a beautiful Russian woman of mystery on the streets of San Francisco, I know … Continue reading

Double Dog Day: German Shepherd Mix and Chow Mix

German Shepherd Mix? Almost definitely. Chow mix? Who knows. Distinctive as heck though! (Had a good-sized post I was planning on for today, but business-lunch took more time than I expected, so you get a short one. Soon though.) Edit: … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: American Akita Inu and Unknown Mix

Not sure about the victim’s breed, but the one on top is definitely an American Akita. Never realized until recently how big those guys actually are: they average more than 100 lbs! In fact, they’re the only breed that averages … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Umm…

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
