Double Dog Day: Chrissie the Finnish Spitz and Gus the Schnauzer/Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Adam Lang

A first for us: a full-blooded Finnish spitz! They’re a lot smaller than I expected. I am reliably informed that Chrissie is super-loyal, and almost 11 years old, and that Gus is 8, and is Chrissie’s companion animal. I think … Continue reading →

Posted on September 1, 2013 by Adam Lang

A 12-week-old puppy for your Sunday delectation. Autumn and I ran into Henry and his mom when we were out on Polk Street for dinner, and our heads exploded with cuteness. Henry is the product of attempts to breed a … Continue reading →

Double Dog Day: Zuzu the Corgi and Jake the Corgi Mix

Posted on August 18, 2013 by Adam Lang

I took these way back in 2011, but I still remember this pair. Zuzu was super-friendly, but Jake was a rescue and somewhat suspicious of strangers.

Double Dog Day: Trixie the Corgi/Chow and Dot the Chihuahua Mix

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Adam Lang

I ran into these two earlier this year out in front of my favorite cheese shop, Cheese Plus (on Polk Street). There is often a dog or two out in front, waiting patiently for their cheese samples.

Dog of the Day: Starfire the Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Adam Lang

One of those breeds I can never spell. And calling them ‘cheapskate bay retrievers’ is pretty insulting, it turns out.

Dog of the Day: Sweet Pit Mix With Airplane Ears

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Adam Lang

Autumn and I call them ‘airplane ears’ because they stick out to the side like wings! Not sure what this gal is mixed with… could be lab. Edit: GRR. WordPress did not post on time. Again.

Dog of the Day: Hansel the Giant Schnauzer Puppy

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Adam Lang

Can you believe that Hansel is only 4 months old in this picture? He’s so huge! After intermittent problems for the last couple of months, my camera has given up the ghost. At first I was like, ‘Come on, Canon, … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Brookie (aka Brooklyn) the Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on July 24, 2013 by Adam Lang

Brooklyn is a perfect name for this pup. He’s got a little attitude, and perhaps a bit of a crusty exterior, but is a total softy at heart. (Although he has no concept of personal space whatsoever.)

Dog of the Day: Lina the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Adam Lang

I ran into this pup on one of her first days in the city, after moving here from Texas. She was a little intimidated by all the noise, fuss, and people, but I saw her again a few days later … Continue reading →

Dog of the Day: Bear the Eurasier

Posted on May 31, 2013 by Adam Lang

We may have had a Eurasier before, but that was a rescue, who might also just have been a rescue who looked an awful lot like one. Bear is definitely a 9-month-old Eurasier. They are a gorgeous breed. I knew … Continue reading →
