Caturday Supplement: Luna the Floofy Adorakitty

Autumn has kitty-sat Luna a couple of times, and was kind enough to take some pictures for me.

I had a rag rug that looked just like this one when I was a kid.

I just wish I’d had a kitty this awesome when I was a kid.

Luna is an avid follower of the order of the red spot.

Dog of the Day: Eddie the Scruffmonster

Eddie is a two-year-old rescue scruffmonster. Too scruffy for a labradoodle. Could be a giant schnauzer mix, maybe. Anyway, he is a real lover.

He was really hard to photograph, because he never wanted to be far enough away from me.

Selfie With Man And Blepping Dog

I managed to turn that to my advantage.

Dog of the Day: Sprout the Guess What?

Sprout is 8 months old, and I want you to look at this picture carefully and try to guess what he is. I’ll give you the answer in the caption.

Brown Mutt With Goofy Ears

This pup’s mother was a FULL DACHSHUND. They’re pretty sure about the father, too: half Chihuahua, half collie. Apparently his siblings looked like dachshunds. Go fig!

Dog of the Day: Piper the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Piper (1) is a very inquisitive sort.

Australian Cattle Dog Mix

This is the first ‘Sprout’ I’ve run across. I love the name.

Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Sprout had some of the most cynical expressions I’ve ever seen on a dog’s face.

Which is funny because she was anything but.

Dog of the Day: Joey the Papillon Chihuahua Mix

Little Joey (6) is a country dog in a big city, but he’s figuring things out.

Papillon Chihuahua Mix

Look at the foozly ears! Almost as long as the hair that grows out of my ears if I don’t trim it.

I got kisses, so I think he’s adapting just fine.

Dog of the Day: Sundae the American Eskimo Dog

Sundae is a ten-year-old Eskie who I just met today! He is an utterly awesome little fluffball, even if he did try a little bit of covert leg-humping.

Manic grins.

For EVERYONE!

Dog of the Day: Luna the Happy German Shepherd

I dogsat for Luna earlier this year. She loves swimming. She loves fetch. That means swimming plus fetch is loves squared!

German Shepherd Shaking Dry On A Beach

I don’t know why she bothered to shake. She clearly knew she would be jumping back in the water like 20 seconds later.

I think she was still less than a year old when these pictures were taken, but I don’t recall exactly. Anyway, quite young.

Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

Is it… could it be… a sighting of the rare ‘Crescent Moon-Moon‘?

Siberian Husky Lying On The Sidewalk

This is outside one of my favorite restaurants in Oakland: Crepevine. Great salads, delicious crepes, wonderful desserts, and a dog-friendly seating section. What’s not to like?

Dog of the Day: Baylie the Boxer Pit Bull Terrier Mix

We’ve seen Baylie before, but it has been quite a while… the last time she was five months old, and now she’s four years old. Still the same goofy gal, though!

Goofy-Looking Boxer Pit Bull Terrier Mix

She has that expression all the time.

Giant tongue.

Goofy-Looking Boxer Pit Bull Terrier Mix

Eminently distractible, too. She spent about half of my photos looking away from the camera.

Goofy faces, all the time. Nobody who lives with this dog could possibly be sad for long.

Dog of the Day: Samoyed

SO. FLUFFY.

There seems to be the weirdest stomach bug going around here. Low level, but at least on me it has lasted FOREVER. Yugh!

Grinning Samoyed

I wonder what breed would win a ‘softest fur’ competition? Samoyeds are certainly a strong contender.
