Brittany Spaniel Looking Happy — This is her more usual expression.

Dog of the Day: Tony Stark the ‘Sixty Percent Husky And Stuff’

Siberian Husky Mix Snoot — But ultimately was quite willing to be distracted.

Dog of the Day: Goofy the Bull Terrier

Posted on July 16, 2025 by Adam Lang

Now what did Goofy (female, 7) do to deserve a name like that? Well, some pretty goofy stuff, as documented on her instagram.

Dog of the Day: (Awesome) Sauce the Shiba Inu

Posted on July 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

I must admit, I have never met a pup named Sauce before. However, I’ve run across Waffles and Pancakes and a Cheeseburger, so I guess a Sauce isn’t out of line. This particular one may look like a puppy, but she’s actually five, and very saucy indeed.

Small Shiba Inu Next To Large Fire Hydrant — She doesn’t look like sauce, she looks like a perfectly campfire-browned marshmallow!

Cali (girl, 6) is a sweet pup with a waggy tail-stub.

Australian Shepherd Labrador Retriever Mix Play Bow — You can tell it’s a good stretch because she’s stretching her toes out too.

Saturday Special: Day After BirthDog

Posted on July 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Rafael (aka Rafa) today, and discovered that it was his fourth birthday YESTERDAY. So I decided that he deserved a spot, even though it is technically Caturday. So say happy slightly belated birthday to this gorgeous goldendoodle.
