Saturdog Birthday Supplement: Rio the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

I know, I know, Caturday is for cats! Well, except I met Rio today, and it was her first birthday! So I just HAD to post some pictures. Happy birthday, Rio!

I said, “Okay, so you said her name is Rio…”

And then, realizing what I’d just said, I finished with “…and she dances on the sand?”

Her mom grinned and said, “Yup, that’s her. A lot of people spontaneously start singing when they meet her.” And hey, look, she DOES like dancing!

I had a friend once who had hair that looked almost exactly like her ears.

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever

Sorry I’ve been remiss over this past week. I still have that cold. Haven’t been this hard by one in literally years, and I’ve spent most of my time trying (and failing) to sleep.

Maybe feeling a little better now, so have a little Lab love.

Black Labrador Retriever

This dog would NOT look at the camera. I have thirty great profile shots and zero full-face, or even three-quarters.

Caturday Supplement: Artemis

Autumn is sitting for a dog-and-cat duo. Artemis is the dog. (I kid, Artemis, don’t claw me!)

As for me, I am miserable. Sinus headaches and sniffles and cough-y oh my.

Dog of the Day: Frank is Just a Little Husky

Posting this from bed, so excuse the lack of trimmings on the pictures. I think they speak for themselves anyway, don’t you?

Dog of the Day: Ms. Buttons the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Another pup from the little mini corgi get-together, and another one who is a member of the CorgiCon executive team! She also has an instagram account, you guys.

Someone at that get-together was talking to me about having gotten a girl corgi because he thought she’d be calmer and easier to handle. DANGER! In the corgi world, the boys are much calmer and less aggressive than the girls!

Sunday Switchup: The (Dog)Nose Knows

I don’t usually post stuff here that is emailed to me unsolicited. However, I’m a big fan of NPR and PBS, especially our local stations, so when they dropped me a note telling me about their latest ‘Deep Look’ video and print combo story, “How Your Dog’s Nose Knows So Much,” I figured you folks would probably be interested.

Check it out! The video is below, or you can see it along with the print story at the link above.

I got to say hi to my ex-charge again. The response was underwhelming.

Dog of the Day: James Joyce the Irish Wolfhound

Not a lot of these pups around, and I ran into Mr. Joyce just a block from my apartment. SO SCRUFFY!

He has an instagram and a friend named Emily Bronte (who also has an instagram page) but none of my pictures of Ms. Bronte came out.

Don’t you just want to wrap your arms around him and give him a big hug?

He’s 2 years old. But he looks 60.

Double Dog Day: Corgi Cute!

There was a little corgi meetup a couple of weeks ago at a tea shop a few blocks away from me. It was a very little tea shop. And it was raining outside, and there were too many corgis for the shop. Fortunately, the corgis didn’t mind.

I believe Malibu there is one of the royalty of CorgiCon!
