Sunday Switchup: Reflections

Posted on December 11, 2016 by Adam Lang

I am endlessly fascinated by the way the windows of large buildings, and even some smaller ones, lend patterns to other buildings at various times of the day.

I really miss having a zoom lens. The camera on the bigger iPhone (2x zoom, anti-shake) really is the only thing I envy about it. If the smaller model doesn’t get the cool dual-lens camera for the next iteration of iPhone I’ll get another decent pocket-sized camera to go along with it. There’s a nice one I’ve had my eye on… but I’ve spent enough money on myself over the last couple of months.

This would have been a lot nicer with a zoom lens. Couldn’t get any closer without losing the angle or getting blocked.

Caturday Supplement: Little Black Kitten

Posted on December 10, 2016 by Adam Lang

From the kitten petting booth. She was the one who was utterly fascinated with me but didn’t want to let me get anywhere near her.

The other two were delighted to play parkour off of most of my body.

Consider this a preview of things to come.

I almost never do indoor photography. Occasionally the event makes it worthwhile.

Dog of the Day: Tilly the Chihuahua

Posted on December 8, 2016 by Adam Lang

Yes, Tilly’s face is stuck like that. Perhaps this is an object lesson you could use with your children?

I keep thinking, ‘doesn’t your tongue get all dry?’ When I sleep with my mouth open it’s just… ew.

Tilly is twelve, and still rarin’ to go.

Remember, Macy’s window isn’t just for kittens!

Jack Russell mixes maybe? Gotta love the spotty puppybelly.

ANNOUNCEMENT #2: Get Your Dog’s Picture Taken With Santa

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Adam Lang

So there’s something else going on at Macy’s in San Francisco, but it’s this Thursday only: get your dog’s picture taken with Santa, mingle with Tuna, a dog of whom I was previously not aware but who seems nice, and just generally get into the holiday spirit and/or holiday spirits. It’s 5 to 8 on Thursday the 8th, with Tuna being there from 6 to 7:30. Tickets are $45 and include up to two humans and up to two dogs, and all of the proceeds go to the San Francisco SPCA. See the above link for more details.

This is not Tuna, but I feel like their underbites are similar.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Macy’s Kitten Cuddle Booth OPEN Through January 1!

Posted on December 6, 2016 by Adam Lang

I have two announcements today. So that they both go out on twitter separately, I am going to be posting them separately.

You know San Francisco Macy’s? Sure you do, since it’s the one with the windows that I get a bunch of my kitten and puppy pictures from around the holidays. Well, they now have a booth you can go into and cuddle kittens! It’s open from 12 to 2 PM, and again from 5 to 7 PM, for a suggested donation of $10. (Not sure if that’s per person or per family.)

They are on the 7th floor of Macy’s, in the holiday area. Here is a sample of what you can find if you go in there.

At one point I had all three of the kittens playing with my shoelaces, but the all- black one decided his sister’s tail was more entertaining, and she lit out for safer territories, aka my upper thigh.

Dog of the Day: Sancho Panza the Basset Hound Lab Mix and Friend

Posted on December 5, 2016 by Adam Lang

I’m really not sure who Sancho’s friend is… I was too busy admiring His Longitude and his retinue. Sancho is 8, and has still shown absolutely no signs of getting any less long.

It must be the basset that makes him so good at the woebegone dog look.

He has a very broad range of expressions, doesn’t he?

Sunday Switchup: How Much For THAT Doggie?

Posted on December 4, 2016 by Adam Lang

I’m guessing that the adoption fee for this one is rather more than for the ones in the Macy’s window.

Plus he’s less cuddly, less fun, and not nearly as warm in case of heating emergencies.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kitties

Posted on December 3, 2016 by Adam Lang

I was meaning to stop by Macy’s to get some more window kitten pictures today, but things happened and other things didn’t. Fortunately I have a bit of back stock.

Grooming is serious business when you’re a kitten. And seriously adorable.
