Dog of the Day: Border Collie

Because we haven’t seen one in a while. An anecdote I ran into on reddit recently (here): Yeah, my border collie totally gets that I control the car. On days when I come home without the kid, she gets concerned … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Pity (Pitufina) the Chilly Chihuahua/Rat Terrier Mix

Pitufina apparently means ‘Smurfette’ in Spanish. The things you learn, running a dog blog. Anyway, it’s been a pretty chilly few weeks in San Francisco, and Pity isn’t liking it much!

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

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: Fergi the Terrified Australian Cattle Dog/German Shorthaired Pointer Mix

Poor Fergi. Someone was pretty mean to her at some time in the past, and she’s still scared of everybody. Dogs like that make me want to hug them and tell them that everything’s going to be all right, but … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Argos the Kerry Blue Terrier

Argos is named for Odysseus’s dog in the Odyssey, the one that was the first to greet (and recognize) Odysseus when he finally returned home. What an awesome dog name! (Although Autumn maintains that, as an Irish dog, he should … Continue reading
