The Dogs of San Francisco

Dog of the Day: Tuxedo Pit Bull

Posted on March 26, 2019 by Adam Lang

A very well-dressed pup was sitting with great poise in the local grooming parlour (see I even spelled it the schmancy way!) when I went by this morning.

SOMEONE was feeling too dignified to come over and say hello. Hmf!

Sunday Switchup: Mural-velous!

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Adam Lang

Ran across this the other day. Despite a certain minor resemblance to a black velvet painting, I quite like it.

Edit: Grr. For some reason known only to itself, WordPress never successfully posted this last night.

Dog of the Day: Otto the Siberian Husky Mix

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Adam Lang

Otto is 1, and wants you to know that if you are sad, he will cuddle you until you are happy again.

Otto is an *expert* snuggler. It only took him seconds to cheer me right up!

Here you see his technique.

Dog of the Day: Tink the Shiba Inu

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Adam Lang

Tink is 7 years old, and is almost certainly very photogenic when the sun isn’t throwing harsh shadows all over everyone and everything.

As you can see, she is also a ‘deep Tinker’.

See? Pretty! But alas, not willing to let me pet her. No fair, Tink!

Dog of the Day: Augie the French Bulldog Puppy

Posted on March 18, 2019 by Adam Lang

Augie was 4 months old when I took these pictures. And, since I just ran into him two days ago, I’m going to guess that he probably still is.

“Augie” is not short for anything. Not even Augie “Ben” Doggie.

This picture makes it even clearer just how much ear there is on just how little dog.

Posted on March 17, 2019 by Adam Lang

This pup is sitting outside the Asian Art Museum. Looks pretty cheerful, huh?

Saturdog Birthday Supplement: Rio the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Posted on March 16, 2019 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Adam Lang

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.
