What else would a cavalier wear than highly fashionable yet flexible leather boots, highly suitable for leaping about, swinging from balconies, and other chivalric pursuits? (Ooh. Cavalier, chevalier, chivalry. How did I never make that connection before?)
Also, his name is Goliath, he is three years old, and he has his own Instagram page.
You really should look at that Instagram account. Goliath’s ears are hilarious when wet.
I can’t get over the boots. I just can’t.
Eevee is an extraterrestrial visitor electron volt electric vehicle adorable 5-year-old girl corgi, hence the name.
I’ve rarely seen a corgi with a black mask like that.
She has such an incredibly great ‘huff’ expression.
Cute little kitty at the SF SPCA!
We took turns looking away and blinking slowly at one another.
Ru, not Roo. Who is ‘too cute’, not ‘two coot’. A year and a half old, and full Aussie.
This one is great: she has the ‘cuddly’ gene AND the ‘noble hunter’ gene.
Cute little pink marbled nosie!
Oh, in addition to the noble and cuddly genes, I think we’ve got a fair bit of the goofy.
The tan fellow is Francisco, 4, generally known as Franky. Nisha is 6 months old. Both of them are equally ridiculous. And both of them are featured in an utterly ridiculous instagram account.
Snug as a pug in a flower-hoodie hug!
Funny, he looks just as much like a puppy as his sister does.
I didn’t get any details about this bundle of fluff, but that’s a husky nose, and the fur pattern is pretty husky as well. I’m taking a wild guess and saying golden retriever, but border collie is a strong contender as well.
The great big poofly tail makes me think maybe golden retriever, with the sickle shape of a husky’s.
I had never heard of Marc Bolan before, but I immediately googled him and I saw the similarity. I think you probably can too.
Four months old, and looking great!
He comes from a breeder in Russia who specializes in teacup Poms. And is a total sweetheart: the terrified expression is totally an artifact of his, ah, breeding.
I’ve been hanging out a bit more at KitTea, in their cafe area. It’s a great place to go to get some work done, and also pretty great to not get work done. Their food is quite good, too, and almost no hairballs in it!
They have changed their model up a bit: instead of all of their animals being adoptable, they have just one or two adoptable cats at a time, with the rest forming a permanent colony. That way they end up forming stable relationships amongst one another, don’t constantly end up losing friends and not knowing why, and are much better socialized to trust galloping hordes of human interlopers.
Now, there does seem to be some still-unsettled disagreement on the nature of the business between the different principals involved…
These two had a fun little interaction going.
I think this one is the same one that crawled onto my and Autumn’s shoulders, back on my birthday.
My notes say Dakota is an unknown mix ‘weirdo’ eternal puppy. I am not entirely clear on what makes him weird, but he is definitely very puppy-looking, despite being an older dog.
Looks like part husky? Especially the stripey nose.
Dakota attracts admiring crowds wherever he goes.
The triumphant return of Adam’s laptop is almost immediately followed by the triumphant return of… well… this ridiculous 8-week-old puppy! Who, by the way, doesn’t have a name yet, as she had only been picked up the day before when I got these pictures, but you can call her EEEEEEEEEEeeeEEeeEEEE!
Her Frenchie friend is 3, and is named Gus. His dad is a police officer, and he is an emotional support animal. He spends the day at New Century Bail Bonds, across the street from the courthouse and county jail, while his dad works. I can’t vouch for their services personally, having not had occasion to use a bail bond company in recent memory ahem ahem, but any place that lets a dog like Gus hang around all day is probably an all right establishment.
It sounds like this pup, whatever her name turns out to be, might be hanging out here during the days too, at least sometimes.
Almost makes being arrested worthwhile!
That’s mom’s hands. She works at a local sushi restaurant, so obviously the pup can’t stay with her during the day.
And, well, the bail bond place is right around the corner, and tends to have a lot of down time, so…
At exactly the age where they look most like stuffed animals.
A stuffed animal with sunglasses.
They spent the entire time I was there alternately sniffing and playing.
Argh. If there were a single picture that I would pay money to un-blurrify, this might well be it. It is SO PERFECT.
