Dog of the Day: Homer the Schnauzer Poodle Mix

Homer (1.5 years old) and his mom were staring into the Macy’s holiday SPCA windows at an adorable playing kitten. I think someone wants a little brother or sister!

Homer would have been content to watch the show for hours. He was completely captivated. Even petting wasn’t as interesting.

Dog of the Day: Pappy the Great Dane

I mistyped the title as ‘Pappy the Great Date’. Twice. Think I might be trying to suggest something subconsciously.

Great Dane With Ears That Stick Out To The Sides

I was on my way up an escalator when I saw Pappy on the way down the stairs. Priorities, people! I was back at the bottom in a flash.

Argh

I am not feeling well and have now spent 15 minutes trying to get a photo from my phone onto my blog and heck with it I am going to bed.

Sunday Switchup: Iwanna Iguana

I met Kila on a MUNI F-line streetcar the other day. He is quite a beast.

Man Holding Iguana

You see all sorts of funny things on MUNI, but this is my first iguana.

Very Large Iguana

He has a very expressive face for a lizard, doesn’t he?

He kept his eye on me for several minutes, over dad’s shoulder. I guess I’m a suspicious character.

Caturday Supplement: Tuxedo Kitty

Autumn’s aunt has a few kitties. This is one of the sillier ones.

Edit: I officially loathe this new WordPress editor. Among other things, it does not appear to support hovertext/tooltips at all. Just… ‘oh hey we don’t need those any more’. I’ll need to see if I can find another way to make them.

Her kitties had varying degrees of friendliness. This one didn’t much want to say hi to me.
Tuxedo Cat Looking Extremely Goofy
She did, however, have a pretty goofy face.

Dog of the Day: German Shepherd Mix Puppy

I saw this guy yesterday, out in his yard across the street from me while I was busy petting another dog. And then I had to run back to the Lummox because I was in the middle of filling her tanks and didn’t want to hold up the line any more than necessary. (Especially given that 100+ gallons is a lot of ‘necessary’.)

And then, today, I was over by that gas station again and up comes this pup, sans owner, just to say hello. I melted. SO CUTE.

German Shepherd Mix Puppy

Most dogs that grow up roaming semi-rural areas tend to be somewhat hostile towards strangers. This one gave me instant nose-smooches.

Those ears. And look at that muzzle: so wide. I just can’t quite figure what this pup is mixed with.

Dog of the Day: Goldendoodle

This was one of Autumn’s clients, and I got to hold onto her for a while. Unfortunately, I sat on the pictures for too long and now I can’t remember her name.

Goldendoodle Looking Pensive

We’re sitting outside of my garage door. Yes, that brown, ugly thing. Oh well. If it were nice, I wouldn’t be able to afford it. 🙂

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever

Autumn sent me this picture of one of her clients. Looks like a satisfied customer to me!

I am going to smile that wide when I finally make it home. It has been a very, very long trip.

Dog of the Day: Samoyed

That’s a lot of floof!

A fair amount of ‘goof’ as well.

Dog of the Day: Bernese Mountain Dog

Every dog should have parents doting enough to take him to a vacation to San Francisco, and on a hike up to the top of Telegraph Hill. (Have you taken YOUR dog there? I’m just saying.)

These three were all obviously having roughly the same amount of fun.
