Dog of the Almost Birthday: Nookie the Mini American Eskimo Dog

Posted on March 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Nookie, pronounced New-Key, yesterday, when he turned 2 years old. And then I didn’t get home until 11 PM (went to a great concert in Berkeley!). So Nookie gets TWO birthday celebrations, one yesterday, at home, and one today, here!

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

Posted on March 8, 2024 by Adam Lang

Sarah! I know it’s hard to believe from this picture, but Sarah is old enough to apply for a learner’s permit in California! (For those of you from out of state, that makes her 15 years old!)

Australian Cattle Dog German Shepherd Mix — I think she’d make a careful, sensible driver. And her reflexes are still pretty sharp!

Dog of the Day: Kirby the Sheep-a-Doodle

Posted on March 7, 2024 by Adam Lang

I don’t know if Kirby (f, 2) is named after the vacuum, but I have to say that that would be a great name for a lot of dogs I’ve known.

Young Small White Sheepadoodle — I saw Kirby and I instantly said ‘wow, is that a sheepadoodle?’ I dunno how, it’s something in the eyes.

Dog of the Day: Watson the Basset ‘Something’ Mix

Posted on March 5, 2024 by Adam Lang

Watson is almost definitely a basset hound mix, but I’m not really sure what else he is. He almost reminds me of a Chesapeake bay retriever, or a toller, or something like that. And he looks a little bit like Marco, but a little bit less shaggy, so maybe even Brittany spaniel? Damn, I dunno. I just know he looks like the kind of dog I’d like to spend an evening watching old Hill Street Blues episodes and sharing a bowl of popcorn with.

Someone was making an awful lot of noise today…

Dog of the Day: Roxanne the Wire-Haired Mini Dachshund

Posted on February 27, 2024 by Adam Lang

Roxanne (3) may or may not have to put on the red light, but she definitely has the tunes: she’s the store dog at Open Mind Music. Although I must say, their web site has a page called ‘The Curator’ but that page doesn’t have any information about Roxanne, so clearly the page is not up to date. On the other hand, their Instagram page (@open_mind_music) is up to date: there’s at least one cute picture of Roxy on there.

Dog of the Day: Peixe the Standard Poodle

Posted on February 26, 2024 by Adam Lang

Peixe (girl, 3) isn’t even all that fond of water, particularly. I’m not 100% sure where she got her name, but whatever, it’s pretty cute, and she is too!
