Dog of the Day: Georgie the Dapper Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on October 4, 2017 by Adam Lang

Georgie (9) was out for a little meander around the neighborhood, and was certainly well dressed for the occasion!

The pup’s groomer gave him that adorable tie.

He’s a happy pup, just doesn’t always get around so great.

Dog of the Day: Cocker Spaniel

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Adam Lang

The triumphant return of, well, me: my home internet is working again, after it being out for three days. This is not how I wanted to spend my Sunday, my Monday evening, and most of my Tuesday evening, but there you are. Life is like that sometimes. I doubt this pup wanted to spend his Saturday afternoon getting shampooed, either.

Dog of the Day: Cockadoodle

Posted on September 30, 2017 by Adam Lang

I don’t have any notes for this pup, but I remember her: she was 7 months old, and I thought she was a goldendoodle at first. I was corrected: it turns out she is half cocker spaniel and half poodle, and isn’t going to get much bigger than this.

I know, I know, the normal name for that is ‘cockapoo’ but I have always thought that was one of the worst names in the dog world. I vastly prefer ‘cockadoodle’, and this is my blog, so there!

She’s seven months old now. I doubt she’s going to get much bigger than this.

Which means that she is basically going to be an eternal goldendoodle puppy.

A lot of people only follow Dogs of SF via Facebook or Twitter. I think that’s a shame, because it means they’ll miss pictures like this one.

And this goofy-looking expression.

Dog of the Day: Dotori the Sapsari

Posted on September 29, 2017 by Adam Lang

Dotori means ‘acorn’ in Korean, which suggests to me that Dotori (male, now 2) was named when he was very, very young. Right now he is more than oak than acorn.

Dotori is also only our second Sapsari (with our first being Coco). Not surprising, they’re very rare outside of Korea.

Very Fluffy Korean Sapsari

Dotori is very, very protective, which I gather is typical of the breed.

Dog of the Day: Jack Russell Terrier Mix

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Adam Lang

This pup was on the same train as the corgi, but didn’t get nearly as much attention. He was a wee bit less noticeable.

This position looks uncomfortable to me, but he was clearly manically happy.

Really, really happy.

Dog of the Day: Murphy the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Adam Lang

Murphy (just turned 1) is my friend, and your friend, and the friend of everyone on the train.

BART is, technically, closed to dogs. A rule that is sometimes gently nudged aside by an adorable coldwetnose.

I love the blurry ears. You can almost hear them wiggling.

Everybody looks at a corgi. Just… everybody.

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

Posted on September 26, 2017 by Adam Lang

Had (minor) surgery today. Went well. Feeling crappy, but that’s sort of to be expected. Shouldn’t last long, either.

I didn’t have time to get this pup’s name, since his dad was in a big hurry. I did have time to take fifty-odd pictures, almost none of which came out non-blurry. And one of those few just HAD to be this one:

When I *started* taking this picture, he was sniffing.

Someone was rather nervous about me at first.

I need you to look closely at those eyes. That’s not because of the camera or anything like that. They actually look like that. Click on the picture, look at them even closer. They are AMAZING.

Caturday Supplement: Serval

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Adam Lang

A special bonus from SLOTHFEST 2017!

Trivia question from the woman who runs Classroom Safari: “Servals do not eat sloths. Do you know why?” And the answer: “Because they would have to be really good swimmers to get from Africa to South America.”

Serval Sitting On Floor

According to her, this serval is pretty much unique among the species.

Serval Rubbing Cheek Against Woman

Not only did he do this to her, he also just randomly wandered up to a few people he didn’t know and rubbed against them as well.

I was not among those happy few. Maybe next time.

Dog of the Day: Daisy May the Australian Kelpie Mix Puppy

Posted on September 22, 2017 by Adam Lang

Just a cute little puppy with thirty pounds of happy in a twenty pound body. Mom didn’t know what breed she was, but I am guessing there’s some Australian kelpie in there somewhere.
