Dog of the Day: Heartbreaking Shar Pei

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Adam Lang

I somehow missed getting this guy’s name, because I was too busy feeling sorry for him, and guilty on behalf of the human race. He’s a shar pei, a breed that is well known for eye trouble, and he’s absolutely … Continue reading →

Double Dog Day: Isatas the Shepherd/Husky (?) and Ddol Ddol the Shih-Tzu

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Adam Lang

Okay, first the names: Isatas (pronounced eez-taz) means ‘snow’ in, I think, Inuit. Ddol Ddol means something in Korean but I don’t appear to have written down what it was. And here’s something surprising about them: in the ratings of … Continue reading →

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

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Adam Lang

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: Lilly (Lillyput Gulliver) the Chihuahua

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Adam Lang

I was totally overwhelmed by the dog show, so it’s going to be a while before I post any pictures. Plus, ye gods, it’s DARK in there. With things that move around as much as dogs do, it was murder … Continue reading →

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

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Adam Lang

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 →

Double Dog Day: Two French Bulldogs

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Adam Lang

These two were chilling out in front of the Crossroads Café, begging for skritches. (Someday I’ll be able to remember the difference between French bulldogs and Boston terriers. Until then, there’s Google image search.) (Sorry boys, I don’t think your affection-hunting … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Uno the Shar-Pei/Bulldog Mix

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Adam Lang

Get a load of this guy. A shar-pei/bulldog mix should be just about the saggiest dog you’ve ever seen, and Uno just isn’t. Why? Well, for the most part, it’s probably just genetics. Maybe shar pei ‘sag’ comes from a … Continue reading →

(Slightly Late) Dog of the Day: Very Patient Australian Shepherd

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Adam Lang

Good thing that this sweetie is patient, because I got to her a little late. (Had an appointment with a large strange piece of medical equipment this afternoon, and I didn’t quite get a chance to post a dog beforehand. … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Jasper the 4-Month-Old Labradoodle.

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Adam Lang

Another incarnation of Fozzie Bear. Although, to be honest, I guess he really looks more like Rowlf the Dog. (Who was always a favorite of mine anyway.)

Dog of the Day: Dana the German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher (?) Mix

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Adam Lang

Not sure about the breed mix, and neither was her dad. Funny thing: she looks like a gigantic Australian kelpie.
