It’s probably about time I confessed something to all of you out there. I keep saying that Autumn and I don’t have a dog, but that’s not quite true. We actually have a whole bunch of dogs. It’s just that they’re … Continue reading

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

Dog of the Day: Bull Mastiff Smooches

Treat this as a preview for the Golden Gate Kennel Club’s dog show. It’s going to take a while for me to go through the thousand or so pictures we took and pick out the eleven that aren’t blurry. (On … Continue reading

Roll of 28(+1): Day 5

It’s funny, I’ve spotted more dog-related paraphernalia in stores in the last three months than I have in the entire prior two years. And it’s not like I’m suddenly looking for it… I’ve been doing this blog for pretty much … Continue reading

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
