Dog of the Day: Boots the Miniature Australian Shepherd

Posted on January 27, 2017 by Adam Lang

Autumn asked me to do her a favor over the winter break, and dogsit for one of her clients. You may recall this, since I posted some pictures of that ridiculous humongous goofball. She also asked me, in the middle of dogsitting him, to run out and walk an adorable little bitty goofball. And once I saw a picture, how could I refuse?

Boots is a little over 4, and is a mini Australian shepherd with a great deal of fluff. He is also a blast to walk. He completely tired me out, but it was well worth it. And it sounds like I might get to walk him again tomorrow. Yay!

Took him down to the Embarcadero near the Exploratorium…

This is a rest stop for dogs, halfway up Telegraph Hill. I was panting by this time, but Boots wasn’t. Kind of a funny reversal.

Top of Telegraph Hill. I made it up all those steps, but I was regretting not bringing my heart rate monitor. Kathump kathump kathump.

Dog of the Day: Unknown Mixed Breed

Posted on January 24, 2017 by Adam Lang

American Eskimo Dog mix maybe? I don’t know. The sweater does look a bit unnecessary, given the weather around here, but it’s an awfully nice one so who cares?

That is a snoot that is begging to be booped.

Dog of the Day: Finn the Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua Puppy

Posted on January 23, 2017 by Adam Lang

Finn (4 months old) was not sure about me. Well, no, I like: he was absolutely sure he did not want to be anywhere near me.

I get along with a surprising number of dogs, including quite a few that aren’t always the friendliest with other people. But sometimes you just have to admit defeat.

He was willing to hold still under two conditions. One, when he was being fed…

Sunday Switchup: Extremely Unhappy Iron Frog

Posted on January 22, 2017 by Adam Lang

Sure, this guy seems to have lost a flipper, but there’s no call for him to go taking it out on me.

Wrought iron seems an odd choice for something that spends almost all of its time damp.

Caturdogday Supplement: Autumn’s Family Pets

One of Autumn’s family’s cats and one of their dogs, getting in some quality snooze time before the cat wanders off somewhere and the dog goes back to being utterly bananas. (Photo by Autumn.)

They don’t always get along this well. Especially when the dog is being a complete and utter nutcase.

Dog of the Day: Little Chief the Pug

Posted on January 20, 2017 by Adam Lang

Some days, you just want to crawl into your Christmas Ale box and pull the blanket up over your head and not come out until… much, much later.

Little Chief is the store dog for the Jackson Market, near where I live. He apparently often sits in the window, but the day I visited it was rather chilly, and he was staying warm.

Little Chief is an unusually handsome pug!

Double Dog Day: Boston Terriers

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Adam Lang

Not really entirely a double dog day, since the back one is kind of blurry. Maybe a dog and a half?

Oh man I ran into an old friend today! I saw this dog and I thought she was adorable but it wasn’t until mom said she thought I might have taken pictures of her before when it clicked. It was back in 2012, around August. Four and a half years ago! But I even told her mom what street corner I ran into her on, and then when I went back and checked after I got home, sure enough, it was that exact corner.

And y’know what? I am not going to say that she remembered me too. But when I kneeled down and said hello to her she came right over, licked me all over my face, and put her paws on my shoulders. And her mom asked me if I had been rolling in bacon or something, so apparently she doesn’t do that for ALL the guys.

I feel blessed somehow. Like Dog came to me and told me that everything was going to be all right. 🙂

It’s been a bit chilly in SF. Not what other people consider ‘cold’, but well into the high 40s some days. And that makes some dogs quite uncomfortable. Thus, coats.
