I walked up to these two and said, “Wow, your dog is gorgeous!” And the woman said, “She’s not my dog. Although I have a new best friend!” I can tell she and I would get along great.
And the human is probably pretty neat as well. 🙂
They were hanging out outside The Cliff House Restaurant, passing time while they waited for (presumably) different things.
I know nobody from Ireland says ‘top o’ the morning’, but then again, it’s not the morning, either. (Well, I guess it’s morning in Ireland, but…)
Blaise is 8, and gorgeous, and I don’t know why we don’t see more Irish setters like her around. They are magnificent dogs, which you almost can’t talk about without using the words ‘mane’ and ‘fetlock’.
They’re also the exact gorgeous color of a chestnut horse.
Sorry about the shadows, but I thought the expression was worth it.
Penny is 8, though you’d never know it to look at her. She still keeps up with the younger dogs, too, which is great considering that bulldogs tend not to age well. I think it’s because she’s petite, and always wears her rubber booties out in bad weather so she doesn’t get sick. And also in good weather so she looks adorable.
The AT&T guy got here today. He told me everything was fine on his end and that the problem must be inside the house. And when I got back upstairs my internet was magically working again.
WHAT. EVER.
I guess bulldogs have a lot of paw problems. This gal is quite happy in her boots, though.
She really wanted to get up close and personal.
Uncropped, unretouched, unchanged in any way. If I could take pictures like this on purpose I would retire from my job and become a wildly successful full-time pet photographer.
All I have to do is look at Nibbler (3 months old in these pictures) and all my annoyance at AT&T for showing up twice on the wrong days and then not at all on the right day just melts right away.
Almost all. Almost.
(And yes, that means my internet is still down.)
You can tell these two are going to be great puppy parents.
Still too early for Nibbler to be wandering around on the ground… hasn’t gotten his puppy parvo booster yet.
I don’t know who looks happiest.
My god! At 5 months old, Auggie’s ginormous! I thought he was a big standard dachshund until I noticed his ears, which are just unreal.
For all you Twitterers out there who have stumbled across my blog via the list of dogs in baby carriages, welcome. Hope you like it here and decide to stay a while.
(Sigh. My internet is STILL out. I have a solution for now, though.)
Auggie is reeeeally hard to get to hold still. There seem to be two ways. This is one of them…
This, of course, is the other.
My home internet connection has been down for the last two days. This severely hampers my ability to post.
In the mean time, have a dog from my phone.
Edit:Â It appears the new editor for the WordPress iOS app is not ready for prime time. Fixed.
Someone was sitting in the doorway of a local business, collecting the cat tax.
Look very closely and you’ll see that it’s a solid black cat… with tiny little white tuffs of fur coming out of its ears.
On the same day I ran into Stella — July 4th! — I also ran into this cute little cotton ball. Einstein is a boy, and was very much into checking out the sights, sounds, and smells along the California coast.
Einstein seemed to enjoy the view as much as I did. Very calming for both of us.
We both also got somewhat distracted by the local wildlife.
I ran into Kai (13!) while I was walking another dog. The two didn’t really hit it off (no snarling or anything, just mostly indifferent) so I didn’t get terribly many pictures, but a couple came out okay, and his dad sent me a couple more, one of which I’m using (it’s the last picture of the set.)
Edit: And wow, that was all one sentence. I should read what I write more often. 😛
It was actually pretty warm that day for San Francisco. (80s, no breeze.) Kai looked a little uncomfortable in direct sunlight.
I think he’d be a little better suited to winter camping in the Himalayas.
Picture from Kai’s dad. I like the expression. And the fluff. SO MUCH FLUFF.
Someone help me out here… I feel like this is probably a real breed but I don’t know what.
Edit: As Peggy says below in the comments, this has got to be a cairn terrier. Thanks!
I was wandering through a parking lot in the Presidio, when what to my wondering eyes should appear…
…than a miniature dog, and a very patient person who sat there idling while I took pictures.
