Dog of the Day: Myka the German Shepherd Puppy

Posted on September 2, 2016 by Adam Lang

Okay, I am calling an emergency puppy day. To follow yesterday’s emergency puppy day. It has been a very, very long week, and what with the night class and the day work and all the stuff I have to do on weekends to keep up with the rest of my life, plus schoolwork over the weekends, I am beginning to wonder if I may have bitten off a wee bit more than I can chew. Time will tell.

So meet Myka, the emergency puppy. She was 9 weeks old when these pictures were taken, and she had the most hilarious case of ‘bed ears’ that you have ever seen.

He had just gotten her a few days before these pictures were taken.

The ears. The feets. The tongue. OMG I JUST CANNOT EVEN.

Dog of the Day: Sunny the Australian Shepherd Puppy

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Adam Lang

May I introduce Sunny, also known as @sunshinewithachanceofmeatballs on Instagram. She was 5 months old when I took these photos, and was tough to photograph. Partly it was because she was so wiggly, but it was also because I was dogsitting a dog who wasn’t so great with other dogs. This meant that I had to stay on the other side of a fence from Sunny. Finally, Sunny’s mom just held her up to the fence for me to photograph.

As a bonus, I got to boop that cute snoot.

Dog of the Day: Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Adam Lang

I was walking down Chestnut Street, and I ran across this Berner, tied up outside a restaurant. And everyone who walked by was stopping to pet her. And then I went into a restaurant myself, and an hour and a half later I came out and there she was, about fifty feet further down the street, flumped out on her back and letting people rub her belly. I swear, you have a dog this awesome and it takes you all day to get ANYWHERE in this city.

I feel like Berners have gotten more popular here just since I’ve been doing this blog.

Shameless.

I feel sorry for all the dogs in the suburbs who only get petted by maybe four or five people a day. šŸ™‚

Dog of the Day: Very… Distinctive… Australian Shepherd

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Adam Lang

I didn’t catch this pup’s name, but as you can see from the pictures, thisĀ is the pub dog at the Bus Stop Saloon in Cow Hollow. (I’ve seen the little nose peeking out of there often enough that if it isn’t an official title, it probably should be.)

This is another dog where you really owe it to yourself to check out all three pics on my blog.

I tried for some petting but someone’s a little shy.

Hmm. Look at that face. Maybe we should take a closer look…

There is absolutely nothing unusual about this pup. It’s just the coloration and the eye color that look… a little… well, like someone used a ‘swirl’ effect.

Dog of the Day: Baker the Cocker Spaniel Poodle Mix Puppy

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Adam Lang

I refuse to call them… what everyone else calls them. It’s just too undignified. Then again, they aren’t exactly dignified dogs:Ā Baker is 8 months old, and boy is he a handful. Sweet, though!

I totally had him pegged as a goldendoodle puppy.

Dog of National Dog Day: Bacon the Australian Shepherd

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Adam Lang

Happy National Dog Day! I’ve got a few especially adorable pictures today, so if you’re coming from Facebook, please do click through!

I’d like you to meet Bacon, aka ‘Australian Bacon’. My notes, and his Instagram profile, say that he is a mini Aussie. They also say that he was 9 months old when I took these pictures. I’m going to tell you right now, this ‘mini Aussie’ is bigger that a lot of full-sized Aussies I’ve run across.

A beautiful pup, amazingly photogenic, and with such cute little boots!

I have another half dozen pictures of this yawn, but I’ll spare you them. They’re all just as cute as this one, though.

I don’t get shots like this one very often. I only wish the guy was facing me too.

Just the sweetest smile.

Dog of the Day: Mimi the Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher Mix

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Adam Lang

Mimi’s 3, and dainty as can be. And well-behaved. She totally could have gotten up onto that table. Did she? She did not.

PS: If I feel up to it, I have a really photogenic and drop-dead gorgeous pup to post tomorrow. No class on Fridays, so I might actually have the energy!

Do not feed your dog alcohol. No matter how hilarious it is.

Dog of the Day: Homer the American Pit Bull Terrier Mix

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Adam Lang

This is Homer, AKA ‘Homie’, ‘Hammy’, and, eventually, ‘Ham Sandwich’. He’s a 6-year-old pit mix, and, well, kind of funny story. I was out and about on Polk Street and I ran across him while he and his owners were sitting at a sidewalk cafe. IĀ started petting him and taking pictures. And while I was doing so, the people at the next table over started talking to Homer’s owners about him, and there was a lot of spirited discussion about non-dog-friendly workplaces and the like, and the upshot was that the people at the next table over were planning on taking Homer to work with them during the day for a few days.

I really do love this town sometimes.

It’s been a late night for me and I got nothing in the way of hovertext, so anyone who has an idea for what this dog is thinking, post it in a comment. The best one wins a prize of guaranteed puppy smooches from the next dog you pet. I promise!

Dog of the Day: Husky Mix Maybe?

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Adam Lang

Another unknown mix, but what a pretty one!

We each had time for only one: me, one picture, and her, one lick. I think I got the better end of both transactions.

Dog of the Day: German Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Adam Lang

Someone has had a long day. I can relate: I’ve had a long week-and-a-day, and it’s not getting any shorter! My brilliant idea of taking a night class in auto repair seems to be, er, backfiring.

-1 to humanity for this brutal ear-cropping job. +1 for all the people who were crowding around to adopt her.
