Posted on January 25, 2012 by Adam Lang

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: Rumor the Border Collie/Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Adam Lang

Well, he kind of looks like a basenji to me. Perhaps we can get frequent reader M.C., proud Basenji cuddler and owner of her own dog blog, to confirm or deny.

Dog of the Day: Tidus the Famous Corgi

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Adam Lang

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Adam Lang

As mentioned yesterday, here is Jake, the 6-year-old St. Bernard! His friend is Marley the Lab mix, who I will be featuring separately, since there are just too many good pictures of each of them to fit in one day.

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Adam Lang

I would have sworn Petunia was a puppy, she was so little. But apparently European Staffordshires are built small, since she’s 5 years old. (I ran into her on 9/11, at the San Francisco Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival. And no, I … Continue reading →

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Adam Lang

Today’s post is a good illustration of one of the difficulties of dog park photography. I was just settling down to take some pictures of this lovely pooch, when I was so rudely interrupted. (The breed mix is just a … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever Mix

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Adam Lang

Dog of the Day: Prezzly the German Shepherd/Lab Mix

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Adam Lang

Another dog from just around the corner. (From my apartment, that is.) Prezzly was originally named ‘Presley’. The adoptive owner was not happy with this name, but the dog was old enough that they felt like changing his name would … Continue reading →
