Supermutt of the Day: Penny

I ran into Penny a couple of weeks ago, and asked what in the world she was. Her mom showed me the results of a doggie DNA test, shown below. They’re notoriously not very accurate but I can believe this one… Penny is definitely a mutt, and very clearly super!

Black And White Mutt Looking Friendly
Particolored nose! I feel like maybe that’s part of the 3.4% husky.
Dog With Ears That Stick Out Straight To The Side
Are there any dog breeds that have ears like that as part of the breed standard? There should be, they’re hilarious.
Dog Breed Information
IMO that isn’t ‘22.2% supermutt’, I think that many breeds qualifies as 100% supermutt.

Dog of the Day: Either Loki Or Lynx the Foofly Wiener

I got twenty one pictures of two friendly pups named Loki and Lynx. This is the closest I came to a clear shot, during a ‘shake it off’ after I did a little petting.

They really do look like little golden retrievers who checked their legs at the door.

Foxgiving Day!

Thanksdogging? Wagsgiving? I dunno. But Ahi (2) is just about the foxiest pup we’ve ever had on here that wasn’t actually a fox, so I’m going to call it foxgiving!

Small Shiba Inu Looking Very Happy
Shibas always look like puppies, but this? At two years old? This is ridiculous.

Dog of the Day: Raven the Australian Cattle Dog German Shepherd Mix

Not sure about Raven (4) as far as her breed is concerned… where did that little ear-flop come from? But she’s probably at least part cattle dog, as she is apparently quite fetch-obsessed.

Got this picture at the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market, and boy, was she happy to be saying hi to all the folks!

Dog of the Day: Tonka the Belgian Tervuren (Mix?)

Tonka is two, and quite scrawny and with not quite the standard tervuren coat. Might just be a natural variation, though.

Belgian Tervuren
Sure is cute, whatever she is.
Belgian Tervuren With Funny Hairdo
Get a load of that hairdo, too!

Dog of the Day: Kevin the Australian Shepherd Mix

Kevin is eleven! Would never have guessed.

Australian Shepherd Mix
Kevin is a lover. His dad said he was an Aussie but I think there’s got to be some mix in there.

Dog of the Day: Lobo the Siberian Husky German Shepherd Mix

Lobo (2) is a little wolf-y, don’t you think?

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while, but I’ve had a cold that just won’t quit. I haven’t even been able to pet any dogs, since I have had laryngitis for days. TERRIBLE. Hopefully soon I’ll be back to normal.

Lobo was very, very alert.

Dog of the Day: Kiwi the Australian Cattle Dog

Keee! Weee! Kiwi! Kiwi (2) likes me, I think.

That fur pattern is just gorgeous. It’s a little different than a regular merle.

Those ears are just glorious.

Dog of the Day: Sable the Siberian Husky Mix

Sable is as old as my blog, a whole 14 years old! You wouldn’t know it. She’s a little slower than she was, but she’s a happy ol’ gal!

Old Blue-Eyed Siberian Husky Mix
Husky and German shepherd, maybe?

She’s got such a sweet look to her.

Dog of the Day: Java the Fluffy Corglet

Java is a little cutie. She’s all grown up, two years old, she’s just little. She’s also one of the least fluffy ‘fluffy’ corgis that I’ve ever seen. Which is still quite fluffy enough, thank you!

I am feeling like death warmed over. And I can’t get a COVID/flu test because I left my driver’s license 50 miles away. Not my finest hour.

She also has one more optional corgi feature.
