Double Dog Day: Logan and Jean Grey the Silken Windhounds

If you don’t know who this sister-and-brother (littermates, three years old) were named after, you’re going to have to look it up on your own. (Logan is the one in the first picture, Jean Grey the one with more white.)

Second day in a row with just too many adorable pictures to caption or hovertext. All the people in the pictures are just passers-by who thought the pair were just as adorable as I did.

Dog of the Day: Labra-Doorman

This fine pup was guarding the door of the Starving Musician in Santa Cruz, making sure nobody took off with anything valuable.

The musician may be starving but his dog seems to be doing just fine.

Dog of the Day: Nikko the Shiba Inu

Nikko (Japanese for ‘sunshine’) is a gorgeous two-year-old critter who I ran into just today. According to his dad, he’s mostly friendly unless you try to take his toy away.

Too many cute pictures today to pick just a few, so no hovertext or captions.

Caturday Supplement: Snoozy Macy’s Window Kittens

These two weren’t seeming very attentive. I think they just wanted to be left alone.

Have to see if I can get a few adoption pictures again this year.

Dog of the Day: Stella the Unknown Mixed Breed

Meet Stella, 6. Nobody quite knows what she is, but she’s pretty neat, huh?

Someone gets plenty of tooth-brushing. Nice smile!

She was a natural in front of the camera.

Dog of the Day: Cody the Laundrypuppy

I haven’t given you a taste of Cody, AKA Laundrypuppy, in quite a while now. So here he is, five years old and staking his claim to the hearts of all who wander by.

One of these days I’m going to climb up there with him.

Dog of the Day: Scruffy (and Hungry) Little Pup

Someone can’t quite reach the remains of that burger.

Seems kind of mean, keeping your pup at table level.

Caturday Supplement: First of the Macy’s Kitties

I dropped by Macy’s on the first day of the new kittens-and-puppies display: Thanksgiving Day. Look who was there!

Grey Tiger Tabby Kitten Meowing In Macy's San Francisco Thanksgiving Window Display

This kitten spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get out of the enclosure. I wonder how many escaped the first year they did this display?

Dog of the Day: Rilley the Shepherd Shepherd Shepherd!

Rilley is 5 months old, and is named after a character fromĀ Confederacy of Dunces. He is not a dunce (and the Rilley from the book is not, in fact, one of the dunces for which the book is named). What he is is a mix of a wide variety of herd-ivorous caninity: Australian shepherd, German shepherd, and probably at least a couple other herding dogs as well. And if his current size and floofy feet are anything to go on, he’s gonna be a biggun!

Scruffy-Looking Grey Shepherd Mix

His fur looks wiry and scruffy. It is not. It is suuuuuuper soft.
