Dog of the Day: Willie the Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on September 5, 2025 by Adam Lang

Willie is only 15 weeks old, but Willie is, as dad says, already ‘getting kind of big for the backpack’. Willie is going to be LARGE!

I had to walk fast to keep up with the two of them, they were on their way to a (ssh!) vet appointment.

Actually you don’t have to shh. Willie loves the vet. Willie loves EVERYBODY.

You can tell they were going fast since his ear was flapping in the breeze!

Wandered by the ‘yoga with puppies’ place last Saturday on my way to the Farmer’s Market and caught sight of these two having a Moment.

Dog of the Day: Stevie the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on September 3, 2025 by Adam Lang

Poor Stevie (3) was quite thoroughly nommed on by another dog recently. She got several stitches and the cone of shame. Happily, it has not changed her attitude one bit!

Australian Cattle Dog Mix In A Cone Of Shame
I’ve had stitches before. I had to scratch myself on both sides of them so that I wouldn’t scratch them. Honestly I maybe could have used a cone of shame myself.

She appreciated getting scratched under the chin quite a lot.

Can’t have been too bad, I got him grinning.

Dog of the Day: Squooshy King Charles Cavalier

Posted on September 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but that’s Autumn’s hand. She just put out her hand and the pup laid her chin in it and was like ‘do you love me now?’ And we all said ‘YES!’

Somehow I see more doggie bags at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market than I do everywhere else combined.

Double Dog Day: James Joyce the Repeat Customer Irish Wolfhound and Mary Shelley the English Bulldog Puppy

Posted on September 1, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into James Joyce (9 years old!) so long ago that I barely remember, which is to say, Before Covid, back in 2019. And I am delighted to tell you that he is looking just as happy and healthy now as he was when I first met him, which is just amazing for a wolfhound. I bet part of it is his friend Mary (8 months) helping keep him young.

How old would you have guessed he is? Man, I figured he was three!

Caturday Supplement: Frankie the Chocolate Point Siamese

Posted on August 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

Frankie (2) is a local celebrity: he gets out and about a lot, and apparently he has a tiktok account but I can’t find it. Probably a typo on my part. Sorry, Frankie, but at least you have a new social media presence here!

Frankie liked being petted by random passers-by.

No, really. This is just him chatting back to me.

Dog of the Day: Snickers the Gigantic Bernadoodle

Posted on August 27, 2025 by Adam Lang

Snickers (3) is somehow bigger than many Bernese mountain dogs, at a whopping 110 lbs. He could tow you around town in a wagon. He could tow you around Lake Merced water skiing.

I’d love to walk Snickers, but I’d hate to try to walk him anywhere he didn’t want to go.

Dog of the Day: Stormy the Fooooofly Wiener

Posted on August 25, 2025 by Adam Lang

I love Stormy’s name, and also his velvety-soft (4-year-old) ears.

I still have a few more pics from the dog surfing competition to post. Soon, I promise.
