Dog of the Day: Cider the Terrier Poodle Mix

Posted on March 1, 2018 by Adam Lang

I ran into Cider (male, 4 years old) on New Year’s Day. He looks pretty skeptical in the pictures but he was really a nice enough fella.

The breed is according to his parents.

I wouldn’t have had the faintest clue.

Seadog of the Day: Chihuahua Mix

Posted on February 28, 2018 by Adam Lang

I ran across this pup on my trip down the coast. He appeared to have rather a nice sailboat, and also seemed quite happy wandering onto and off of it at will.

I saw him down on the dock and thought ‘Wow, someone’s dog got lost!’

Then he just wandered up on one of the boats and lay down.

Seriously. Who puts cigarette butts in dogfood bowls?

Caturday Supplement: More Evie!

Posted on February 24, 2018 by Adam Lang

As I mentioned in my previous Evie post, she and I sat down to watch the Puppy Bowl together. (We both agreed that it was more fun before it got so commercial.) Last time you saw some pictures of her that I took… now you get to see some pictures of her and me that Autumn took.

Evie is a remarkably tolerant cat.

She even likes being hugged.

Dog of the Day: Lincoln the Birthday Boy

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Adam Lang

Lincoln the Lab, the wonderful wonderful Lab! I am posting this the evening before Lincoln’s birthday, since he was born on the 24th of February, three years ago. This is especially neat because it’s the day before my birthday, February 25th. Although I admit I am a bit older than three, or even 21 in dog years.

Also, I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but one of Autumn’s family’s pups has passed away, heartbreakingly young for a golden retriever. Send condolences in the comments, I’ll be sure she gets them.

I sure hope someone is going to get a birthday party!

I ran into Lincoln and his mom on the Balboa Peninsula, near the “Fun Zone”. He sure seemed to be having fun, anyway!

Ohai From Ojai

I stayed last night in Ojai. It was quite pretty, as you can see.

Triple-Sea-Dog Day: Basking Harbor Seals

Posted on February 20, 2018 by Adam Lang

Ran into this trio basking in the warm winter sun off of Point Lobos.

I think the bottom one is laughing at me.

I assume they’re harbor seals. Aside from the fact that they don’t have the cute little ears of sea lions, and don’t look anything like either Northern Fur Seals or Elephant Seals, well, they were in a harbor…

Jackpot (boy, 2) is a big fraidy-dog! He even hid from me! And he looks so happy, too.

(Posting from my phone today.)

Otterday-On-Bunday: Point Lobos

Posted on February 18, 2018 by Adam Lang

Hi there! I am taking a much-needed vacation, and slowly driving down the coast of California. I’ll eventually make it to San Diego, but so far I’ve only made it as far as Big Sur. I spent the day wandering Monterey and then Point Lobos, where I made the acquaintance of several adorable sea otters. I have a new lens for my camera, a 150 to 500 mm Sigma, and while it’s no five-thousand-dollar marvel, it’s more than good enough for my purposes. (Next time I’ll make sure the ISO setting on the camera isn’t 3200, which will make the close-up quality a lot better.)

Consider this a otter preview. I’m at a hotel with no wifi in the rooms, and I have no cell signal, and I’m sitting in the middle of their little grocery store, and posting from here is kind of awkward.

Sea otter pupping season starts in March, and they tend to stay with their parents for only a year.

This one must have been born very late, or perhaps his mom has more patience than usual.

Dog of the Day: Snowy the Fox Terrier

Posted on February 16, 2018 by Adam Lang

Snowy is two years old, and has an Instagram account. The unusual coat color is (I think?) due to a recessive gene called ‘dilute’, for obvious reasons.

The one ear up. So awesome. Apparently it varies according to how tired Snowy is.

Dog of the Day: Momo the Nepalese Street Dog

Posted on February 15, 2018 by Adam Lang

Momo (girl, 5 years old) came from Nepal, and despite a rather rough start in life, loves everyone in sight. She’s also among the most photogenic dogs I’ve ever run across.

Very, very tired, so I will let Momo speak for herself.
