Caturday Supplement: Black Cat

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Adam Lang

I like black cats and I cannot lie/Especially ones with the golden eye!

Hey, I never said I was a cat-rapper.

The eyes that the ‘cat’s eye’ gemstone was named after. So gorgeous.

Dog of Chicago: Samoyed Puppy

Posted on March 16, 2017 by Adam Lang

I made it to Chicago! And I ran into a dog here! (Posting from mobile app so you will have to put up with more cute dog and less Adam. I hope you can cope.)

Dog of the Day: Miniature Australian Shepherd

Posted on March 14, 2017 by Adam Lang

I’m traveling, or at least was supposed to be traveling. (Chicago seems to be having some wee bitty issues right at the moment.) So I’m sitting in an airport at the moment.

Fortunately, ‘Wag’ came by. They have cute little pups wandering through the airport so that people with flying anxiety can cuddle them and feel better. I do not have flying anxiety, I just have not-flying piss-off-edness. But it turns out that small fluffy pups help with that too.

Latte Switchup: Dogs in the Workplace

Posted on March 12, 2017 by Adam Lang

In addition to dogs now being allowed in my workplace, the building I work in (the AirBnB building) has a little coffee stand, at which works the most talented latte artist I have ever met. And I don’t just say that because a lot of her artwork centers around one of my favorite subjects.

You should really check out her Instagram page. Also, she does parties and events. Just sayin’.

Here we have the elusive ‘coffee-corg’.

And this is a border coffee. Of course.

These two had a nice little discussion.

Dog of the Day: Louie the Great Pyrenees

Posted on March 10, 2017 by Adam Lang

Louie was (mis-spellingly) named after Louis XIV, who had a ‘great’ deal to do with the Pyrenees. The court of Louis XIV was infatuated with the breed, which up until then was sort of thought of as a peasant dog.

Louie is 3, and was recently rescued by his owner. I don’t know what kind of situation he came from, but he is very nervous around people. The shirt he’s wearing is a Thundershirt, which I’ve mentioned before and which apparently helps a huge amount. (And which by the way I do not get paid to mention! I just think they’re awesome.)

I hear Louie is making a lot of progress. I bet the next time I run into him, he’ll be happy to let me pet him.

I don’t know quite how this picture happened, but I kind of like the fuzziness.

Dog of the Day: Jack Straw the Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Adam Lang

I was not the only one impressed by Jack (5 months old), as you can see from the pictures.

I am told Jack Straw cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon. Probably with cuteness.

English cream golden retrievers are so pretty. Not sure they shouldn’t be called ‘silver retrievers’ though.

See? Everyone loved him.

The two of them got to be very good friends after a few seconds.

Some of my favorite dog pictures are itch-related.

Dog of the Day: Last Old Office Visitor

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Adam Lang

On the last day before we left our old office, a dog just wandered into our space. This was not in itself an unusual occurrence, but before it was always a beagle, belonging to someone from the office downstairs from us. This time it was a chihuahua in a hoodie, who seemed rather happy to meet us, and perhaps, though I may have been reading into things a bit, a little bit sorry to see us packing to leave.

Friendliest chihuahua I’ve run into in some time.

Someone showed up shortly after he did, looking rather worried. “Has anyone seen a dog…?”

My coworker had a slight skiing accident. And this pup really wanted to make her feel better.

The fangs really make the picture.

Dog of the Day: Hello, New Office

Posted on March 6, 2017 by Adam Lang

I messed up a post last Friday, so I’m going to have to post it tomorrow for you, so you can see how I said goodbye to my old office. But, oh happy day, my new office is dog-friendly, so here’s who I got to say hello to when I moved in! (Unfortunately did not get a name, was too busy cuddling. Will get more pictures and a name soon though!)

Black And Tan Border Collie Mix With Floppy Ears

Lovely border collie mix. Not sure what with.

Quite a well-behaved dog. And very attentive, especially if a treat was involved.

This picture and the next one were, I think, in the middle of a treat. That’s why they look so goofy.

He (she? can’t remember) wandered very quietly through the crowd during our company meeting today, gently collecting petting along the way. It’s so nice to have pups at HQ!

Sunday Switchup: Urban Clover

Posted on March 5, 2017 by Adam Lang

Just saw this walking by (in the neighborhood called the Dogpatch) and thought, ‘ooh, that’s neat.’ It’s funny the things I notice and the things I don’t.

Wish me luck: my company is moving in with another subsidiary of the same parent company tomorrow, which means I will be surrounded by strange people… and also by some people I don’t know! (Hah hah, I keed, I keed. You guys know I love you.)

Very, very urban.
