Dog of the Day: Uncle Baxter the German Wirehaired Pointer

Uncle Baxter is 2, and apparently has a Facebook page, but I’m unable to find it. Possibly it is not shared with the world, which would be terrible because Uncle Baxter should be seen by everybody.

Giant scary muppet mouth!

Dog of Christmas Day: Zoey the Siberian Husky

Merry Christmas, everyone! You may have noticed, if you were watching carefully, that Zoey (1.5 years old) was substituting for Prancer this year, due to a conflicting dance recital.

Zoey has that classic husky sense of humor.

Nobody can be snootier than someone with a long snoot.

Look at the line on the top of her head. So neat.

Christmas (Belated) Caturday Supplement: Bolt the Adopted Macy’s Window Kitty!

One of my coworkers adopted a Macy’s window kitten this year and OMG CUTE. (He is named after the Olympic runner.)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good dog (and/or cat).

Little Black And White Kitten

Growing by leaps and bounds, apparently. (More or less literally, in the case of a kitten.)

I can’t help but feel that this should be rated PG-13 or something. PC-13? (Pretty Cute).

Grey Cat And Grey And White Cat Playing

He has an older brother. They get along great, thank goodness.

No explanation offered.

Don’t you just want to boop that nose through the bars?

Dog of the Day: Elly the Pit Bull Corgi Mix

Elly (5) belongs to a coworker of mine, and after seeing her last week I am distraught that I have never before been able to meet her. A pit bull corgi mix? How could you wrap more awesome in one skin than that? I mean you’d have to go right to the Bernese mountain dog corgi mix for that!

In this picture she’s standing up.

In this one she’s sitting down. Do you know how to tell the difference from the front, with a corgi mix?

Neither do I. Unless they’re splayed like this, those stub-tacular legs make it next to impossible to tell.

Sad Dog of the Day: Pit Bull Mix

This is the pup of one of my coworkers, and I am ashamed to say that I have forgotten her name. She is clearly upset, though… just look at her face. I believe she is feeling sorry for a friend of mine, who has suffered a setback today.

Those ears are just…

“Plaintive” might as well have been invented for her.

Sunday Switchup: What Will They Think Of Next?

A family in the Telegraph Hill area has made their garage door into a neighborhood spectacle. Not by painting it spectacularly, as one might expect in any sensible normal rational ordinary city, but by making it into a giant view screen.

One wonders what the family across the street thinks.

Caturday Supplement: Martial Arts Window Kitty

Our first Macy’s window kitty of the season! This one was having a blast with a little catnip mouse. While I was there it found its way into and out of the litterbox at least three times, bringing litter with it each time. Oh that naughty, naughty mousie.

And that kitty was kung fu fighting, those paws were fast as lightning…

Dog of the Day: Zuzu the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Zuzu (1) is teensy! I wonder what she is mixed with?

Australian Cattle Dog Mix Looking Plaintive

All the pictures of him look plaintive and sad. Trust me, he wasn’t.

I think it may just be the ears and the eyebrows.

Dog of the Day: Magical Trevor the Corgi Sploot Expert

I ran into Magical Trevor not long ago. He’s a two-year-old Pemmie with an advanced degree in corgi-splootation.

Tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi Sploot

He stopped for roughly eight seconds, and… sploot!

Of course, he definitely wanted lots of petting and attention.

He just wasn’t willing to get up to get it.
