Posted on July 13, 2024 by Adam Lang

Mugwort sounds like the name of a witch’s familiar. He would just like you to know that he would be quite happy to become more familiar with you, especially if you have ‘good skritchin fingers’. Update: Autumn sent this picture … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup: View From The Back Of The Ferry

Posted on October 23, 2016 by Adam Lang

I took a ferry out to Alameda a couple weekends ago, having forgotten just how dumb the public transit there is: they have a ferry terminal that’s 4 miles from the middle of town and there’s no public transit between … Continue reading →

DoggiEvent: WIGGLE WAGGLE WALK!

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Adam Lang

It seems that Alameda, home of Dozer, Moose, and lots of wildflowers, is also home to a dog-related event that I had never heard of before, the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter’s awesomely-named Wiggle Waggle Walk.

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Adam Lang

Guess who I ran into while in transit (via ferry boat!) to Alameda, a few weekends ago? A ridiculously adorable 4-month-old puppy who was absolutely terrified of me.

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Adam Lang

(Maybe I can get Anne to weigh in on just what these things are, because I have no idea on any of them except I’m pretty sure one of them is some kind of thistle, and the one with the … Continue reading →

Caturday Supplement: More Moose

Posted on May 9, 2015 by Adam Lang

I’m cat-sitting Moose and Mimi again this weekend, and things are going swimmingly: this morning neither of them even tried to maul me when I was busily forcing medications down their throats. Though they did do a very good job of … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Wary Doberman

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Adam Lang

I saw this guy tied up outside a dollar store in the not-quite-the-best-part-of-Alameda area. I got within maybe ten feet of him, and he didn’t growl or move or anything, but I watched him for a while and I thought, … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Dozer the German Shepherd Mix

Posted on April 16, 2015 by Adam Lang

Saw this from the street and just had to wander in for some pictures. Dozer (2, male) is the pub dog of the Fireside Lounge in Alameda. Or, at least, that’s what the human in the pictures told me.

Caturday Supplement: Moose and Mimi

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Adam Lang

I catsat these two recently for an ex-coworker of mine. They were actually both quite pleasant to me, except for one thing: part of the job was ‘cram a pill down each of their throats every morning’. Shockingly, that went … Continue reading →
