Dog of the Day: Jack Straw the Golden Retriever Puppy

I was not the only one impressed by Jack (5 months old), as you can see from the pictures.

I am told Jack Straw cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon. Probably with cuteness.

English cream golden retrievers are so pretty. Not sure they shouldn’t be called ‘silver retrievers’ though.

See? Everyone loved him.

The two of them got to be very good friends after a few seconds.

Some of my favorite dog pictures are itch-related.

That little grin.

Dog of the Day: Last Old Office Visitor

On the last day before we left our old office, a dog just wandered into our space. This was not in itself an unusual occurrence, but before it was always a beagle, belonging to someone from the office downstairs from us. This time it was a chihuahua in a hoodie, who seemed rather happy to meet us, and perhaps, though I may have been reading into things a bit, a little bit sorry to see us packing to leave.

Friendliest chihuahua I’ve run into in some time.

Someone showed up shortly after he did, looking rather worried. “Has anyone seen a dog…?”

My coworker had a slight skiing accident. And this pup really wanted to make her feel better.

The fangs really make the picture.

Dog of the Day: Hello, New Office

I messed up a post last Friday, so I’m going to have to post it tomorrow for you, so you can see how I said goodbye to my old office. But, oh happy day, my new office is dog-friendly, so here’s who I got to say hello to when I moved in! (Unfortunately did not get a name, was too busy cuddling. Will get more pictures and a name soon though!)

Black And Tan Border Collie Mix With Floppy Ears

Lovely border collie mix. Not sure what with.

Quite a well-behaved dog. And very attentive, especially if a treat was involved.

This picture and the next one were, I think, in the middle of a treat. That’s why they look so goofy.

He (she? can’t remember) wandered very quietly through the crowd during our company meeting today, gently collecting petting along the way. It’s so nice to have pups at HQ!

Sunday Switchup: Urban Clover

Just saw this walking by (in the neighborhood called the Dogpatch) and thought, ‘ooh, that’s neat.’ It’s funny the things I notice and the things I don’t.

Wish me luck: my company is moving in with another subsidiary of the same parent company tomorrow, which means I will be surrounded by strange people… and also by some people I don’t know! (Hah hah, I keed, I keed. You guys know I love you.)

Very, very urban.

Caturday Supplement: Spots and Spatters of Marmalade

Another kitty from KitTea. Or, rather, the same one, just no longer riding Autumn. This was definitely my favorite cat of the day. So friendly and sweet.

Marmalade Tiger Tabby Cat Looking At Camera

Normally direct eye contact is a challenge, but this cat clearly did not see things that way. She went straight from staring me in the eye to closing her eyes and showing off her belly.

Also, look at that: spots and stripes both! Such a pretty kitty. DO WANT.

Double 2C2C Dog Day: Waffles the Corgi and Bella the Maltese Mix

You’ll readily see why Waffles and Bella were 2C2C (Too Cute To Caption) when you see the sheer number of pictures of the two of them I’m posting.

I’ve been hanging onto these pictures since last November. Waffles was, at the time, 6 months old. I do not have age information on Bella. Instead I have the cryptic note ‘Bella Middlebury mix Maltese mix’. Which might mean she’s from Middlebury, Indiana, or that I misspelled Maltese the first time.

Dog of the Day: Daisy the English Cocker Spaniel Puppy

A cocker to go with our springer. I ran into Daisy (10 months old) last year, and she did a little dance for me.

I have no idea what the harness difficulties were about.

Whatever it was, though, it took a while to resolve.

Look at those fuzzy feets.

Dogs with freckles.

Dog of the Day: Remy the Labrador Retriever Puppy

Another in my continuing series of ‘too cute to caption’: Remy was 5 months old when these pictures were taken, and one of the cuter dogs that I have ever had the pleasure of giggling uncontrollably at.

Dog of the Day: Sasser the English Springer Spaniel Puppy

I saw Sasser this evening, and I just had to post her. She’s just three months old. I forgot to ask what breed she was, but I think she’s a springer. She could be a cocker, though. I can say with absolute certainty that she is SO. ADORABLE.

She was pretty calm…

…until I got near her and got her all worked up….

…at which point she got rather wiggly rather quickly.

Sunday Switchup: I’m Not Really Sure

It’s funny, but these days some of the weirdest things I see in San Francisco are in stores. It’s like the retail is getting stranger as the inhabitants are getting less. This doesn’t strike me as a fair exchange.

I am not honestly sure what part is for sale.
