Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

Some sort of wire-haired terrier-ish mix is my best guess. Super-playful and active, at least when I was there.

She had just been put back in the window after a potty break, so she gazed at that door for a few seconds to see if it would open again, and then noticed the people behind her.

Double Dog Day: Pepper the Pomeranian Toy Poodle Mix And Chihuahua

I have no idea what this gal was, but isn’t she cute? Those ears look like they should belong to a dog ten times her size.

Her friend is a little more readily identifiable.

Edit: A little birdie in the comments tells me that her name is Pepper and she’s a ‘pom-pom’: a Pomeranian toy poodle mix. I would never have guessed.

Soft fur, and more fluff than any two dogs need. Which is of course a different amount than they might WANT.

Yes, they really are the same species.

Dog of the Day: Doberman Pinscher

Doberman pinschers were the ‘big scare’ dogs before the pit bulls took over. As you can see, this one is determined to do his part to keep that misconception safely buried.

He was very, very patient with my requests.

Dog of the Day: Swayze the Christmas Corg

I’d call this one a preview too, except that I didn’t get much more in the way of pictures of this pup than just this one. Put him down on the ground and he is a complete blur.

A blur, I might add, with an Instagram account.

Swayze was a hit with everybody, and he just totally soaked up all that attention.

Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

A ridiculously adorable fluffball. He spent all day in the window, but it was only because his adopter picked him out on the way to work and couldn’t pick him up until after work. I would’ve just taken the day off, personally. You have to have priorities!

Ungh. I can’t believe I STILL have this cold! I have had this cold for TWELVE DAYS. I haven’t had a single cold in over two years and now that I have one I may just HAVE a single cold for two years.

He was utterly puppy-hyperactive the entire time I was standing there. Which was not long enough.

Oh god don’t look directly into the puppy or you will melt.

He had at least five different toys in there, and played with every single one while I was watching.

Sunday Switchup: Reflections

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

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.

Dog of the Day: Preview Pup

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

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.
