Dog of Christmas Day: Moby the Foofly Weiner

Have a very Moby Christmas, everyone. And make sure to collect a hug from your loved ones.

I ran into this pup three times in the same day, in three different places. It was fate.

Dog of Christmas Eve: Shar Pei

This is my coworker’s dog. I have forgotten his name. I am a bad dog blogger.

I love that expression.

Sunday Switchup: Pretty City

San Francisco is a lot different than it was when I moved here.

Still awfully pretty, though.

The Caturday Before Christmas: The Cat With No Name

I am cat-sitting for a Norwegian forest cat that is so recently adopted that he does not yet have a name. He does, however, have his own forest.

He is very vocal. I’m trying to help train that out of him. So far, he is winning.

Seems very Christmasy, doesn’t it?

Dog of the Day: Caucasian Shepherd And Friends

I don’t know, but it sureĀ looks like a young Caucasian shepherd (aka ovcharka).

I don’t know what the little ones are, but the one on top has the most amazing facial hair I’ve ever seen on a dog.

Dog of the Day: Twisted-Up Husky

Someone pulled a little too hard and in the wrong direction, I think.

Those things are supposed to be the gentle solution. This pup had to work pretty hard to manage that.

Dog of the Day: Border Collie

It was dark outside, so although this pup spent the entire time I was there going back and forth and hugging (no, literally hugging, wrapping paws around and everything) these two guys, I only got this one shot with one of them standing in the way. Sorry about that. But I think her expression says it all.

Okay, okay, so it’s probably bad form to let a dog do that. I find it so hard to care.

Dog of the Day: Roxy the Scruffalicious Pupper

Okay, that’s not her ‘official’ breed, which is labradoodle, but she’ll always be a scruffalicious pupper to me, even when she gets older than her current five months.

Scruffy Labradoodle Puppy

Yes, that’s not a trick of the camera, that’s her real coloration.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kitten

Some cats in the Macy’s window display spend all their time sleeping. Some spend all their time playing. And some spend all their time looking out at all the people who are looking in at them.

Kitten In Macy's San Francisco Window Display

The two times I’ve been down to Macy’s for the exhibit, it’s been 100% cats. WHERE ARE THE PUPPIES?? WE WANT PUPPIES TOO!

Dog of the Day: Gia the German Shepherd Puppy ( aka #GiaTheShep )

Gia is 4 months old, and as hyper as you would expect. And according to my notes, Gia’s parents are trying to get the hashtag ‘#GiaTheShep’ started. Well, they probably mean on Instagram, but now it’s on Twitter too, so there!

German Shepherd Puppy With Gigantic Ears And A Black Face

Sometimes the ears go up early. Hers are as long as her entire muzzle, which is hilarious.
