Dog of the Day: Conor the Irish Setter Poodle Mix

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.

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

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

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.

Dog of National Puppy Day: Teddy the Poodle Puppy

I ran into Teddy just this morning! She’s 16 weeks old, and she adores grass. And loves people. And playing in the grass with people.

She is named after an old movie, Theodora Goes Wild. (And no, it’s not that kind of movie.) And let me tell you, Theodora does indeed go wild.

I did get a chance to play some with the pup, but she spent most of her time running around…

…and rolling around.

Don’t you want to just bury your face in his neck-ruff?

Dog of the Day: Shetland Sheepdog Puppy

I found a collie dog show in my travels, and one of the women there had Sheltie puppies! SO CUTE.

This dog had the smuggest expressions ever.

Dog of the Day: Jax the American Bulldog Boxer Labrador Retriever Australian Shepherd Mix

How’s that for a long-un? American bulldog, boxer, Labrador retriever, and Australian shepherd. And they know this for sure, since they know the parents and the grandparents.

Jax is one year old, and is the farm dog for The Little Organic Farm. I ran into him and his folks at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market.

Adorable Mutt

Apparently Jax is ‘not usually this shy!’ I totally freaked him out.

He certainly did have the ‘concerned forehead’, especially whenever he looked at me.

The kitties were very active while I was there. These two wanted to play with ALL the toys.

Dog of the Day: Ayiana the Birthday Husky

I just ran into Ayiana today, and it’s her seventh birthday! And she’s wearing a birthday bandana. How cool is that?

She also has an Instagram account, where you can see a picture of her birthday cake.

The blop on the nose is because she was rescued from a place where she was kept in a cage all the time. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???

She was one of the ‘huggiest’ dogs I’ve met in a while. She literally shoved her head up into my arms. So snuggly.

Dog of the Day: Bella the Bedlington Terrier

Bella is another San Dieoggo, only this one has an instagram account. And hilariously adorable pajamas.

This was at a nearby watering hole. Apparently the pup is quite fond of the local tipple.

The black on the poofball ears was the result of a ‘wash-in, wash-out’ dog-friendly dye… for Halloween. Apparently not so pet-friendly after all.

Dog of the Day: Papillon Mix

Met this pup in a huge crowd. Apparently she’s not usually nervous and gets around just fine, but she was a wee bit overwhelmed by the literally thousands of people.

Fair enough. So was I.

I ran into this pup on my trip to San Diego. Does that make her a San Dioggo?
