Sunday Switchup: Do Do? (Or Not)

Posted on October 27, 2024 by Adam Lang

I dunno, I thought it was funny. Maybe it’s the 8-year-old in me.

Caturday Supplement: Cat Town Kitty!

Posted on October 26, 2024 by Adam Lang

I wandered into the Great Mall last Thursday while I was waiting for my car to recharge. There is, I am delighted to report, a CAT CAFE! Well, not exactly. No food allowed. But close enough! Fifteen dollars for half an hour of kitten-play. I didn’t have half an hour… this time. So I just took a few pictures.

I just wanted to say hi. So unfair.

Puppy Pile of the Day: Dog Yoga

Posted on October 25, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran across a sign outside a local art gallery. It said ‘Yoga With Puppies’. So I peeked through the window.

I guess I might need to try yoga after all, huh?

Closeup. Not great quality, but… great subject matter!

Dog of the Day: Dexter the Repeat Customer Beagle Dachshund Mix

Posted on October 23, 2024 by Adam Lang

I saw Dexter and wandered over to say hello, and despite the fact that neither he nor I have run across him since ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO, she recognized me, and after she reminded me, I even remembered taking some pictures of him, in a Starbucks down town. He was a Macy’s window pup in 2010, so he is very nearly as old as our dear blog.

Dexter has, in the last ten years, aged rather less noticeably than I have.

I can’t tell you how nice it was to see a pup this healthy and happy who has been around as long as da blog!

It was even tough getting him to settle down for a photo. At fourteen!

Dog of the Day: Nico the Siberian Husky

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Adam Lang

Nico is 1, and quite a goof, don’t you think?

Siberian Husky Tilting His Head To The Side
I have a funny noise that makes about a third of dogs tilt their heads. It’s AWESOME.
Siberian Husky With Puppydog Eyes
Huskies really have that ‘puppydog eyes’ thing down pat.
Siberian Husky Grinning
They also have the most ridiculously smug expressions ever.

Dog of the Day: Archie the Sheepadoodle

Posted on October 21, 2024 by Adam Lang

Archie (1) is a good name for today, because I was just recently thinking about “archy and mehitabel” (the only cockroach-and-cat double act that I know of, at least from the early 20th century, and well worth the read of not just that poem but the rest of their oeuvre as well).

Archie is not a cockroach. He is a floofy sheepadoodle.

Archie is NOT shy. He was stopping traffic for the dog toll as thoroughly as he was able.

Ladies and gentleman, meet Duke, of San Francisco! He’s one, and he’s ready to be your best buddy.

Dog of the Day: Gus the Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Adam Lang

Gus! My notes say ‘Gus 1 Bernadeedle 7’. I’m not sure what this means. It can’t be a score, because Gus is clearly a winner.

Bernadoodle Looking Dignified
Such a lot of floof!
Bernadoodle Looking Goofy And Happy
Yeah pretty sure the ‘1’ is correct.

Posted on October 13, 2024 by Adam Lang

A relatively recent addition to the San Francisco skyline, the Transbay Tower has some pretty funny effects on Karl, our resident fog.

Double Dog Day: Abigail and Gus the Smooth Coated Brussels Griffon

Posted on October 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

These two are only my second and third smooth-coated Brussels griffons, and I didn’t even recognize the breed! Gus (in the blue) is 4, and Abigail is 3, but they both have the same parents. And unlike many brothers and sisters, they get along great!

Two Smooth Brussels Griffons
These two were MURDER to photograph. How can they be blurry even when they’re standing still?

This one didn’t come out too bad.
