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

Double Dog Day: German Shepherd Mix and Chow Mix

German Shepherd Mix? Almost definitely. Chow mix? Who knows. Distinctive as heck though! (Had a good-sized post I was planning on for today, but business-lunch took more time than I expected, so you get a short one. Soon though.) Edit: … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Moe the Basset Hound/Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever

No, Moe isn’t from the dog show. He’s another leftover from last summer’s Bay to Barkers. And according to my notes, he was getting his canine good citizen certification when I took these. So a belated congratulations to Moe, the … 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: 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

Double Dog Day: Boston Terrier and Labrador Retriever Mix

An interesting pair. They were staring at the store that (presumably) mom or dad was in. Fixedly. As if, if they took their eyes off of it for just a moment, mom/dad would vanish and never be heard from again.

Double Dog Day: Gordon Setter and Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie Mix

The latter is just a (very) humble guess by moi; the former is, well, less humble and less of a guess.

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

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

Dog of the Day: Xander (Alexander) the Shiba Inu Mix

Xander’s 3/4 Shiba Inu. The other 1/4? Well, we’re not sure. Either way, he’s cute and his momma loves him like a rock! (For you Paul Simon fans out there.)
