Please Stand By

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Adam Lang

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: It appears the new editor for the WordPress iOS app is not ready for prime time. Fixed.

Caturday Supplement: Store Kitty

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Adam Lang

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.

Dog of the Coast: Einstein the Maltese Bichon Frise Mix

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Adam Lang

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.

Dog of the Day: Kai the Eurasier

Posted on July 19, 2017 by Adam Lang

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. 😛

Fluffy Ol' Eurasier

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.

Dog of the Day: Unknown Terrier

Posted on July 19, 2017 by Adam Lang

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.

Dog of the Day: Northern Sandyjawed Happypup

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Adam Lang

Another friend from CorgiCon. He was one of several who had never ever been to the beach before, I believe. I am getting the feeling that maaaaaybe he liked it?

Delightedly Happy Pembroke Welsh Corgi With Sand All Over His Muzzle

Question one: how did he get that much sand to stick to his face?

Question two: how did he get rid of it all five seconds later? (Alternate question two: was it crunchy?)

Sunday Switchup: Let’s Play ‘Spot The Wildlife’

Posted on July 16, 2017 by Adam Lang

You might have to zoom in a bit (click on the photo to see it larger, or click here in order to see the full-sized picture) to see:

  • three dark-grey/black wading birds (could these be little blue herons?)
  • five turtles
  • a flock of seagulls
  • at least one duck
  • some human beings

I hesitated about putting the people into the list, but some of them MUST be wild… surely?

Caturday Supplement: Already Spoken For

Posted on July 15, 2017 by Adam Lang

These two kittens were at an adoption fair I stumbled on a while back, but they were already spoken for. Someone was adopting both, so they didn’t have to miss one another. Yay!

Two Kittens On A Purple Towel

I guess they’d been found with mom, wild, but they’d been caught early enough to be perfectly comfortable around humans.

How did she get him to pose like that? None of them posed like that for ME!

Dog of the Day: CorgiCon Husky

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Adam Lang

This was one of the other non-Corgi visitors to CorgiCon. (Other besides me, I mean.) He seemed to be having almost as good a time there as I was.

My hair used to look like that, some mornings. Back when I had hair.
