Puppy Pile of the Day: Dog Yoga

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran across a sign outside a local art gallery. It said ‘Yoga With Puppies’. So I peeked through the window.

Woman Doing Yoga With A Pile Of Puppies Behind Her — I guess I might need to try yoga after all, huh?

Pile Of Puppies — Closeup. Not great quality, but… great subject matter!

Dog of the Day: Dexter the Repeat Customer Beagle Dachshund Mix

Posted on October 23, 2024 by Adam Lang

I saw Dexter and wandered over to say hello, and despite the fact that neither he nor I have run across him since ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO, she recognized me, and after she reminded me, I even remembered taking some pictures of him, in a Starbucks down town. He was a Macy’s window pup in 2010, so he is very nearly as old as our dear blog.

Woman Petting Dachshund Beagle Mix — Dexter has, in the last ten years, aged rather less noticeably than I have.

Cute Dachshund Beagle Mix Snoot — It was even tough getting him to settle down for a photo. At fourteen!

Dog of the Day: Nico the Siberian Husky

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Adam Lang

Nico is 1, and quite a goof, don’t you think?

Siberian Husky Tilting His Head To The Side — I have a funny noise that makes about a third of dogs tilt their heads. It’s AWESOME.

Siberian Husky With Puppydog Eyes — Huskies really have that ‘puppydog eyes’ thing down pat.

Siberian Husky Grinning — They also have the most ridiculously smug expressions ever.

Dog of the Day: Archie the Sheepadoodle

Posted on October 21, 2024 by Adam Lang

Archie (1) is a good name for today, because I was just recently thinking about “archy and mehitabel” (the only cockroach-and-cat double act that I know of, at least from the early 20th century, and well worth the read of not just that poem but the rest of their oeuvre as well).

Archie is not a cockroach. He is a floofy sheepadoodle.

Black And White Sheepadoodle Lying On The Sidewalk — Archie is NOT shy. He was stopping traffic for the dog toll as thoroughly as he was able.

Ladies and gentleman, meet Duke, of San Francisco! He’s one, and he’s ready to be your best buddy.

Dog of the Day: Gus the Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Adam Lang

Gus! My notes say ‘Gus 1 Bernadeedle 7’. I’m not sure what this means. It can’t be a score, because Gus is clearly a winner.

Bernadoodle Looking Dignified — Such a lot of floof!

Bernadoodle Looking Goofy And Happy — Yeah pretty sure the ‘1’ is correct.

Posted on October 13, 2024 by Adam Lang

A relatively recent addition to the San Francisco skyline, the Transbay Tower has some pretty funny effects on Karl, our resident fog.

Double Dog Day: Abigail and Gus the Smooth Coated Brussels Griffon

Posted on October 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

These two are only my second and third smooth-coated Brussels griffons, and I didn’t even recognize the breed! Gus (in the blue) is 4, and Abigail is 3, but they both have the same parents. And unlike many brothers and sisters, they get along great!
