Dog of the Day: Murphy the Irish Setter

Murphy is a 5-year-old Irish setter who is very, very skittish around strangers. Poor pup doesn’t know what he’s missing out on, in the pet-loving streets of San Francisco.

I quite like the composition. Almost ‘American Gothic’. So I guess the skittishness wasn’t all negative.

Dog of the Day: Coco the ‘Micro Poodle’ Puppy

Coco is five months old. She isn’t fully grown yet, but she isn’t going to get a huge amount bigger than she is now. But she sure has a whole Great-Dane-load of attitude!

Dog-Day-On-Caturday: Rosie the Birthday Girl Golden Retriever

Sorry for skipping the important Caturday crowd, but I ran into Rosie today, on her birthday, and I just had to post some pictures of the birthday girl!

Rosie had just finished a birthday cookie when I caught up with her.

Eminently distractible. Another dog walked by just as I was shooting these.

Dog of the Day: Papillon Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix

I have about twenty pictures of this pup. In some of them he’s blurry, in some just his tail is blurry, in some he’s facing half away from me, but in all of them he has this ridiculous grin on his face.

I asked why he was on-leash. Apparently he ‘doesn’t have the best recall’.

Dog of the Day: Catahoula Mix

No idea what he’s mixed with, but isn’t he a handsome pup?

I say this every time I feature one, but I call these guys ‘Hula-Hula Cat-Dogs’.

I was sad because I didn’t get to see him off the leash and running around the beach like a nutbar.

Double Dog Day: Dara and Horacio

I dogsat for the two of these and I’m not 100% sure of their names, which makes me a bad person. But I do think the little scruffer is Horacio (or possibly Horatio?) and the big goofball is Dara.

Yorkshire Terrier And American Pit Bull Terrier

Horacio the Yorkie is an older pup, Dara is a young goofball. And Horacio steals all of Dara’s food because of course he does.

Dog of the Day: Matcha the Floofy Samoyed Puppy

Is she really only 3 months old? She’s so huge!

Samoyed Looking Extra Floofy

Matcha likes very gentle pets. (And also very firm pets. And everything else in between.)

Lolling Samoyed

She also likes belly rubs.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Christmas Kittens

Just some Christmas kitties from a couple years ago. Was just going through my back catalog (pun intended) and thought ‘how did I never use that one?’

Kittens often do the Christmas Dinner thing: eat way too much and then do the ‘food coma’ thing for twelve hours.

Double Dog Play: Husky Corgi Mix and Labradoodle Playing

These two were having SO MUCH FUN.

I don’t get to watch pups play very often. It’s so adorable the way they dance.

Double Dog Day: Calvin and Hobbes the Fetching Frenchies

These two would play fetch until they were so exhausted they couldn’t stand up if you let them. We stopped somewhat before that, when my arm got tired.
