Dog of the Day: Particolor Corgi

Posted on July 11, 2016 by Adam Lang

Has anyone ever seen a corgi with this color combination before? Maybe a mix?

A sizable percentage of the sand on that beach is now stuck firmly to that pup’s nose.

Sunday Switchup: Gloster Canary

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Adam Lang

This bird has the most ridiculous haircut that anyone has had since the late 1960s. Except perhaps Lady Gaga.

I also love his expression. “Aww yeah, baby!”

Caturday Supplement: Dilute Tortoiseshell Tabby Cat

Posted on July 9, 2016 by Adam Lang

It took me around five minutes of googling to figure out what coloration is. I could have just said ‘gorgeous’ and been just as accurate, though.

I was outside the SPCA, peering in windows, and this kitty saw me and just ran right over to the window.

She booped her nose against the window several times, but I didn’t get any pictures.

Amazing the difference in eye color between the last two pics.

Dog of the Day: Pembroke Welsh Corgi Puppy

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Adam Lang

There were a lot of puppies at CorgiCon. A LOT.

The puppies attracted a lot of attention. The guy in blue isn’t holding the leash, he’s just watching the pup.

Caption contest. I can’t think of one: leave one in the comments, and I’ll replace this with the best one. 🙂

Dog of the Day: Shorgi!

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Adam Lang

That’s ‘half-shark, half-corgi’.

I wish I’d noticed his reflection in this, so I could have made sure not to cut his head off in it.

Dog of the Day: Pembroke Welsh Corgi from CorgiCon

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Adam Lang

When you’re walking around CorgiCon, every dog you see is the cutest dog you’ve seen all day. Every one of them has something that makes them hilariously adorable. This one had the ridiculous flopped ear.

He went swimming and then rolling in the sand. Dad’s going to be getting the sand out of the car for quite some time.

Totally cute corgi grin.

Dog of the Day: Corgi-Con-Goer

Posted on July 4, 2016 by Adam Lang

The first CorgiCon attendee picture I’m posting. There will be more, I promise.

Sorry it took so long, and sorry for the long silence, but it has been a completely insane week. I have so many irons in the fire right now that I can hardly keep them straight: some charity work, some donations to a couple of groups that I’m trying to arrange (amazingly, none of them pet-related). Classes every day. Work.

And then there was the dog-sitting thing with a dog who turned out to be a bit more of a handful than I thought, and some health (mostly sleep) issues rearing their ugly heads again, and now I have another dog to take care of for a while. (Although this one is about as mellow as you can get without drugs, so I think she’ll be more of a help than a hindrance.)

Ugh. Sorry to whine. I am actually quite looking forward to not having to get up at 6:45 AM every morning, but at least the part where I was getting up at 6 AM is over.

Right. Your corgi. You get a corgi, because I got almost 700, and I feel like it’s only fair.

A handsome Cardigan to start things off. The ears. Oh God the ears.

Dog of the Day: Husky Mix

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Adam Lang

I know I’ve seen this pup before, and I’m pretty sure he’s a husky mix, but I can’t place him at all.

Ungh, sorry, I missed a day again, but I have been shanghaied into dogsitting in the Marina for a sweetheart of a dog with absolutely no warning — the gig started yesterday evening and I got informed yesterday at around noon. That, plus the 8 AM class I’m taking (which with the dogsitting has me getting up at 6 AM), plus a couple other things, plus actual work… man. I’m wiped out.

But still. I have half an hour before I have to go to sleep, so you get a pup.

I keep thinking husky Lab but the ears just aren’t right. Nor is the build, really.

Dog of the Day: Macaroni the Chi-Weenie Puppy

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Adam Lang

I just ran into Macaroni (3 months old) a few hours ago, on her first full day in the city, after being adopted yesterday! She lives right around the corner from me, and I hope I’ll be seeing more of her because she’s adorable.

She totally looks like a little bitty Labrador retriever puppy, except the ears.

She’s still getting adjusted, but I managed to get a few smooches, so I think she’s gonna do okay.

Dog of the Day: Jackson the Great Dane

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Adam Lang

I ran into Jackson back when he was eight months old or so, but I guess none of the photos came out or I would totally have posted them. He’s a year old now, though, and he’s a bit bigger but no less adorable.

Blue Great Dane

Got these pictures at the ferry building on a farmer’s market.

Skinny puppy!

It’s almost a cigar, isn’t it?
