Dog of the Day: Tiny Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on August 14, 2024 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but if I recall correctly she’s five, and only eighteen pounds! So tiny! But fearless.

Dog of the Day: Rocky the Australian Shepherd Terrier Mix

Posted on August 13, 2024 by Adam Lang

Is Augie really an Australian shepherd terrier mix? Is he really 14? I’m not 100% sure. He sure is cute, though, isn’t he?

Puppy of the Day: Goldendoodle the Bear!

Posted on August 12, 2024 by Adam Lang

Hmm. Wait. Strike that. Reverse it. Bear is seven months old, and likes long walks on the beach, head scratches, and definitely treats.

Bowser (5 months)? Wowzer! Bowser’s awfully cute, and is Bean’s (from yesterday) best friend.

Dog of the Day: Bear the Proud Australian Shepherd

Posted on August 7, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Bear (10) on my, and his, way to the SF Pride Parade. He was wearing a snazzy bandana (which as we all know makes any dog ten percent more awesome) but he was wearing something else, too. And he was SO PROUD.

Yes it is a PROSTHETIC TAIL. OMG.

Admittedly it’s harder to wag than a real one, but I’m sure scientists are working on it!

Dog of the Day: Smitty the Labrador Retriever

Posted on August 6, 2024 by Adam Lang

Smitty is six years old, and is the more recent shop dog for the Russian Hill Upholstery store, after Doc and Dolly retired. And it’s amazing I haven’t run into her before this but I usually don’t get out that way on weekdays, and Smitty and her owner are closed on weekends. Terrible!

Very solid for a female lab, and in great shape.

Dog of the Day: Dante the Infurnal Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on August 2, 2024 by Adam Lang

Dante the INFURNAL. So ridiculous. Seven months old, making trouble wherever he goes.

Black puppy lips or mustache? Only his mom knows for sure.

He’ll grow into the ears, but not the attitude. Those always end up staying six sizes too large, thank goodness.

Dog of the Day: Shan Zhu the German Shepherd Siberian Husky Mix

Posted on August 1, 2024 by Adam Lang

Google says Shan Zhu (1) is probably named after a kind of fruit. Maybe? She’s definitely sweet, though!

Dog of the Day: Hershey the Party Parti-Poodle

Posted on July 31, 2024 by Adam Lang

I knew I had seen this pup before, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where. It took me simply ages to realize that he was the star of an old 1970s cartoon. (It wasn’t his fault that it was… kind of dreadful. He didn’t write the scripts!)

What’s he doing these days? Well, he has his very own web site, Hershey Tries Things. It’s much better than the old TV show. Most of the time he doesn’t have hair like that, alas.

Parti Poodle Brown And White With Wild Haircut
Hershey was 4 on July 1st, which is pretty impressive: he had to travel back in time to get his start in TV!
