Dog of the Day: American Pit Bull Terrier Puppy

I may have dogsat this pup, but I can’t remember for the life of me it. Maybe I just ran into him at a party.

Someone wants to make it very clear that you are not getting into this bed without paying the dog tax.

You just want to trace the line from upper lip right up the nose and all the way to the top of the head.

Dog of the Day: Marlow the Chihuahua

I ran into this pup at a friend’s birthday party, a couple years back. And I forgot to get his name!

Edit: OMG as I am informed below in the comments, this is Marlow, and is in fact being held by his owner. I have a great memory, don’t I?

This isn’t the pup’s owner, just a good friend. (Edit: Er, no, wrong, see above.)

Sunday Parfait: Humphry Slocombe and Rustic Bakery

I made my own dessert for this Sunday switchup. It still counts, because it’s made out of a San-Francisco-made ice cream and some cookies that were made in Petaluma. (Which is, in case you don’t know, about 30 miles north of San Francisco.)

Specifically, I made a rather nice parfait:

Salted caramel and cacao nib ice cream, with two layers of crushed chocolate cacao nib shortbread interspersed.

Result: 4/5. I am awesome. The ice cream itself is wonderful, not too sweet and with that tang of salt. and the nibs are halfway between chocolate and nuts, not adding any sweetness but adding a lovely crunch. And the cookies are rich, and also have their own nibs, and add their own crunch to the mix. Lovely!

Dog of the Day: Tosca the Newfoundland Dog

Whoa. When I took this picture, Tosca, a female full-sized Newfie, was eleven years old. And apparently just as spry and chipper as she was when she was half that age. I can verify that she was gamboling back and forth between all the folks at Wags.

I’m not 100% sure she’s a Newfie at all. She might be a Black Bookie: half Bantha, half Wookie.

Dog of the Day: “Pup” the Catahoula Hog Dog Mix

I ran into this (one-year-old) pup less than one week after he was adopted from a shelter. Despite that, he was very well-adjusted, especially for what we here at da dawg blawg affectionally call the ‘Hula-Hula Cat-Dog’.

I thought he was a pup named Tito, but apparently he’s a pup named Pup. Wearing a bandana named Tito.

If I’d only had a dog from the shelter for a week, I wouldn’t have the confidence to tie him up outside a shop for twenty minutes!

Dog of the Day: Cloe the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Mix

Cloe (2) is also known as ‘Junkyard’. Because she is a vicious-wicious puppy-wuppy-kins, obviously.

I am not sure what she’s mixed with, she sure looks like a Cavalier to me.

Puppy cuddles and mimosas. Amazing combination.
