Dog of the Day: “Big Head” Benny the Welsh Terrier

Sir Benedict Bruno Wu III (aka Big Head Benny) is 11 months old in these pictures, which means he’s just over a year now. He has new grown-up responsibilities, like maintaining his own Instagram site, Benny.The.Welshie.

(No way: is this the first Welsh terrier we’ve had? Awesome!)

I always get the Welshes and the Irishes mixed up. Personal failing.

It was tough to get him to hold still, even with a treat.

This was Benny’s compromise between being a good boy and sitting and going after that delicious-smelling bacon.

Dog of the Day: Coconut the Chihuahua Mix

Someone likes the local watering hole just as much as I do.

Gotta say, I love the hat.

Coconut was a wee bit chilly.

Dog of the Day: Westie Mix

I used to be this photogenic. And then I somehow acquired a second chin, somewhere along the line.

Whenever I look at Westies (or mixes like this) I think about vanilla ice cream.

Dog of the Day: CorgiCon Corgi

I have SO MANY CORGIS. This place is going to be Corgi Central for a while, I’m afraid. I know you all will be terribly disappointed by that, but you’ll just have to ride it out.

There were more people than corgis. Which is only fair: several people to pet each corgi.

Look at the smile.

Dog of the Day: Flat Flat-Coat Retriever

So if this pup slipped his leash and I ran to help catch him, would that make me a “flat flat-coat retriever” retriever? Or if he were wearing a coat and it fell off, and I ran back to get it for his grateful owner, I would be a “flat flat-coat retriever” coat retriever, or, if I were wearing a coat at the time, perhaps a coated “flat flat-coat retriever” coat retriever.

I think this might be the prettiest picture of a black dog I’ve ever taken. FOG HELPS SO MUCH. Well, and the dog not moving helps a lot too.

If you look closely you can see the spotty puppy lips.

Dog of the Day: Pembroke Welsh Corgi Puppy With One Floppy Ear

I know, I know, it’s hard to believe anything this adorable exists in the real world. Let me assure you that it does. Or, at least, as real as San Francisco gets.

I could either get the people looking at me…

…or the dog. Someone needs some training, but I’m honestly not sure who!

Very Very Long Dog of the Very Very Long Day: CorgiCon Attendee

It’s been a very long day. (Work is being very needy right now, plus I’m taking a class, plus it’s laundry day, plus did I mention work?) But I found the perfect dog for my mood, so here you go.

Yes, that right there is my spirit animal.
