Dog of the Day: Patches the Border Collie/English Springer Spaniel

My notes on Patches say ’11 years old, super-soft fur’.

Dog of the Day: Doggie Bag!

I believe this to be Mini Cooper Bocephus Conrad Lincecum Pell, Mini Cooper (or ‘Coop?’) for short, who is a ten-year-old chihuahua/Boston terrier mix. That’s a lot of names for a dog who fits in a bag!

Dog of the Day: Champ the Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix

Champ is well-named. He belongs to an employee of Wags, our local dog wash and the best show on Polk Street on weekends. (Stop by and gaze into the window and watch all the cute doggies!) I keep telling them … Continue reading

Dog of the Day: Blanc the White Shepherd Dog

Another breed that I never knew existed, although apparently ‘Bolt,’ from the Disney movie of the same name, was one. Blanc is only 5 months old, according to my notes, and is totally adorable according to my best judgement.

Dog of the Day: Alma the Itchy Berner

Alma is another repeat customer, although last time I saw her I didn’t get to say hi to her dad, since she was tied up outside the Jug Shop.

Dog of the Day: Zurich the Entlebucher Sennenhund

The smallest of the Swiss mountain dog breeds. This poor guy was a little freaked out by the busyness and noise of Polk Street, even though he’s lived in San Francisco for the majority of his four-year life.

Dog of the Day: Dorothy the 5-Month-Old Bernese Mountain Dog

Still some ‘puppy-fro’ left, but Dorothy is approaching the size where she can hug you back! And hug you back she will… she has progressed from ‘slightly timid of everyone’ to full ‘Dug the Dog’ mode: ‘I have just met … Continue reading
