The Dogs of San Francisco

Dog of the Day: Bloodhound

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Adam Lang

Haven’t seen nearly enough of these pups on here.

We should come up with a more pleasant name for these guys than ‘bloodhound’, even if it is appropriate for Halloween. How about ‘velvet-eared cuddler’?

Dog of the Day: Great Pyrenees

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Adam Lang

Surely this must be the very queen of floof!

I wonder if she’s a nervous sort and that’s a Thundershirt-style thing, or if it’s just an alternative to a halter.

Caturday Supplement

Posted on October 27, 2018 by Adam Lang

A kitty I met today! She was impatient with my photographic shenanigans and eager to have her cheeks rubbed.

Obviously vicious guard cat.

See? LOOK AT THE TEEFS!

Dog of the Day: Iris the Happy Berger Picard Tripod

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Adam Lang

Iris lost her leg in a tragic high-speed collision. No, she wasn’t hit by a car: she hit a rock at high speed. I would say ‘fortunately it hasn’t slowed her down any’, except in this case it’s more like ‘fortunately it seems to have slowed her down a little bit’ since she still has her three other legs!

PS: Wow, is this really our first berger picard? Still having firsts after all these years.

Yes, there’s another leg back there.

Dog of the Day: Joy the 16-Week-Old Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on October 23, 2018 by Adam Lang

I took these last year… how did I forget to post them until now? Joy was only sixteen weeks old in these pictures and had just graduated from San Francisco Puppy Prep. And man, she was proud as heck!

Sunday Switchup: Unusual Planter

Posted on October 21, 2018 by Adam Lang

These folks have marigolds in planters next to their front porch, which is concrete and raised about three feet off the ground. There’s a crack in the front porch, too. Which they have also planted a marigold in. I love it.

Caturday Supplement: Two MilwauKitties

Posted on October 20, 2018 by Adam Lang

Is it Caturday? Sure didn’t seem like it… I worked all day today, and then come home to try to deal with furnace problems in my RV before it got down to 27 degrees (Fahrenheit, natch) tonight and froze all my water. And to think I was going to do laundry tonight.

Instead, meet two kitties. The piebald (black and white) is Willow, and the supremely goofy one is Punkin.
