Caturday Supplement: Peace Meow

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Adam Lang

The local SPCA has so many cute little cat beds, like a zillion different kinds. This is one of the cuter ones.

The cat’s pretty adorable too.

Dog of the Day: Thor the Siberian Husky

Posted on April 6, 2018 by Adam Lang

For some reason, huskies seem to be named after Norse gods a lot more often than any other breed. I’m guessing it’s some combination of the ‘cold weather’ connection and the fact that they simply are that awesome.

Thor’s got attitude.

Several, actually!

Dog of the Day: Aiden the Poodle Labrador Retriever Cocker Spaniel Poodle

Posted on April 4, 2018 by Adam Lang

Yes! Aiden, also known as @dogonatrain, is a poodle/Labrador retriever/Cocker spaniel/poodle mix: yes, that’s a DOUBLE QUARTER POODLE! (One parent was a poodle/Lab, and the other was a Cocker spaniel/poodle.)

Aiden is a hugger and a leaner and a smoocher.

I thought maybe he was a parti-poodle, or a mix of one, but apparently the spots came from the Cocker grandparent.

DoggiEvent: DOGFEST at Duboce Park

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Adam Lang

You must go to Dogfest! You must go to Dogfest! The power of Mackey (the 8-year-old Cardigan Welsh corgi mix) compels you!

Huge Black And White Cardigan Welsh Corgi Mix

He’s big! Like ‘German shepherd with no legs’ big. Seriously. I don’t know what he’s mixed with but he’s AWESOME.

Dog of the Day: Boxer Puppy

Posted on April 2, 2018 by Adam Lang

I ran across this pup while I was walking by a dog grooming parlor in Arizona. I saw him in the window and just had to run in and ask about him. Turns out he’s the dog groomer’s own pup!

There is nothing like a boxer for the puppydog eyes.

Oh god don’t you just want to cuddle him all day?

Caturday Supplement: Bobby-Cat

Posted on March 31, 2018 by Adam Lang

I am back from my Arizona excursion, and in time to post a cat from two weeks ago. Meet Bobby, an unusually adventurous kitty. He loves bus rides, likes greeting people and getting petted, and enjoys going for walks. Needless to say, I adored him.

Perhaps a Maine coon mix? I hear they sometimes like going on walks. Certainly not floofy enough or big enough to be a full Maine coon, though.

The two of them seemed really plugged into one another.

Even when the cat got somewhat manhandled, he didn’t show any signs that he cared.

This kind of expression on a cat in a place he isn’t used to is really rare.

Dog of the Day: Lou the German Shepherd Siberian Husky Mix

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Adam Lang

I ran into Lou where I’m visiting, in Phoenix. I haven’t run into a lot of Phoenix dogs this time, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far.

German Shepherd Husky Mix With Heterochromia And A Really Happy Expression

He looks like the kind of dog who would leap all over you. I knelt down in front of him and he leaned forward and gave me a very small smooch on the nose, and then just let me pet him. A perfect gentleman.

All of his expressions are goofy.

Dog of the Day: Conor the Irish Setter Poodle Mix

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Adam Lang

I am off at a data science training in Arizona, but I just have to post Conor. Conor is Autumn’s folks new pup, adopted to be Begley’s calmer and more sensible younger brother. (No, seriously. Begley is a nutbar, and Conor is less of a nutbar.)

I have never seen an Irish doodle before! They are gorgeous.

Irish Setter Poodle Mix

He’s got that doodle ‘muppet’ look to him. Such a humongous nose!

Irish Setter Poodle Mix

Cute little poke-able paw-pads. Poke poke!

Irish Setter Poodle Mixed Breed and Golden Retriever

Yeah, they’re getting along pretty well.

I’m not sure we have the brightest kitten in the kaboodle here.

It’s not just the eyes… it’s the nose, too.
