Posted on December 31, 2014 by Adam Lang

A puppy, eight months old. He’s a ‘maltie-poo’. Which just sounds wrong, but who am I to judge? Anyway, Bandit is max dorbs, as a friend of mine would say.

Dog of the Day: Colin the Former Racing Greyhound

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Adam Lang

A rescued greyhound. The longer they race, in my experience, the more skittish they tend to be. Colin (now 6) didn’t race long at all, he washed out early on, and he loves everybody. (Colin was adopted from Golden State … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Murphy the Wheaten Terrier/Poodle Mix

Double Dog Day: Jake the Old English Sheepdog and Finn the Jack Russell Terrier Puppy

Posted on November 27, 2014 by Adam Lang

Ran into these two outside the Bell Tower, a common spot for dog sightings. Their owner had an interesting story about Finn (11 months), who is a recent rescue and rather skittish still: it seems he was rescued ‘by ultimatum’. … Continue reading →
