Sunday Switchup: Pretty City

Posted on December 23, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 22, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 21, 2018 by Adam Lang

I don’t know, but it sure 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

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 17, 2018 by Adam Lang

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.

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

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kitten

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Adam Lang

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.

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 )

Posted on December 14, 2018 by Adam Lang

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!

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

Dog of the Day: Homer the Schnauzer Poodle Mix

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 12, 2018 by Adam Lang

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

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.
