Multi-Dog Day: Some More of the Ugly Dogs Contest

We are coming to the end of our ‘ugly dogs’ posts, not because I’m running out of pictures but because I have something else planned for this coming week, and I don’t want to belabor this point too hard. So … Continue reading

Otterday Supplement: Aquarium of the Bay is Ottrageous!

So, Aquarium of the Bay just opened their new river otter exhibit yesterday, and Autumn and I were there to bring you the finest in otterly ridiculous otterage. Incidentally, a little bird told me that the Aquarium is going to be … Continue reading

Sad Dog Day: Rest In Peace, Dasja the Bernese Mountain Dog

Some sad news: at somewhere between nine and ten years old, Dasja, one of Autumn’s first and most floofy customers, has passed away. She will be missed; even though Autumn and I only knew her in her later years, when … Continue reading

(Ugly??) Dog of the Day: Mayzie Brown the 8-Year-Old Pomeranian

I’m pretty sure that’s who this pup is, anyway. And I’m sorry, no dog with a face like that is going to win any ‘ugliest dog’ competition… even if her alopecia (‘alpo-pecia’ perhaps?) is acting up more than a little. … Continue reading

Three (Not-So-Ugly) Dog Night: Two Corgis and a Basset

(Ugly) Dog of the Day: Rascal the Chinese Crested Dog

(‘Ugly’) Dog of the Day: Sophie the Chihuahua Mix

Hmf. I almost think of this as ‘elder abuse’. Sophie is 17… even by a generous interpretation, that’s at least 102 in human years. If I’m still around at 102, I bet I won’t look so hot myself! And yet, … Continue reading

‘Ugly’ Dog of the Day: Walle the Beagle/Basset Hound/Pit Bull (?) Mix

I dropped by the ‘Ugliest Dog’ competition up in the North Bay yesterday. I couldn’t stay long, but I got some pictures of the contestants, including the winner, Walle. (I’ll be posting more pictures over the next few days.) On … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Buster the 14-Week-Old Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy

I only got a few pictures of Buster. I figured it was more important to get in a little quality playtime and some petting. Dogs this cute don’t come along every day, not even in San Francisco.
