Birthday Dog of the Day: Pico the Wire Fox Terrier

Posted on June 20, 2024 by Adam Lang

Pico is the last of the three foxy-terrierists that I ran across in the last week. He is two years old today, and boy is he excited! Also he has an instagram, Pico_the_wire. There is a painting of Pico on his instagram. It is awesome.

So yesterday’s pup had one ear up… and today’s has the other ear up? What were the chances?

Dog of the Day: Buster (Keaton) the Fox Terrier

Posted on June 19, 2024 by Adam Lang

We last saw Buster Keaton (now 4) in 2022, when I got a bunch of terrible pictures of him because of very bright sunlight. So I’m glad that I ran into him again in a shadier spot!

I didn’t notice the shaved leg at the time. Maybe if mom shows up and sees this post she can tell us what the surgery was about. Hope it was nothing serious!

The little badge on the leash says “☮️❤️🐾” (Well, okay, only one paw, but I don’t seem to have that emoji.)

That ear is actually fully convertible! I saw it folded like the other one.

Dog of the Day: Pepper My Old Friend

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Adam Lang

So, funny story: last Saturday, I ran into a wire-haired fox terrier. Hadn’t seen one in ages! Super nice pup. And then, two hours later, I ran into… another wire-haired fox terrier! This one I knew from a while back. And then, on Sunday, I ran into… Pepper, an old friend and dog-sitting client of both Autumn’s and mine! I dunno, sometimes breeds do come in clusters, but usually not quite this cluster-y!

Anyway, I’m going to post all three of them right in a row, ending with a birthday dog!

Pepper spotted me right away and got SO EXCITED. She’s twelve, and still a puppy.

She is just such a happy dog. A bit of a goofball, too.

Sunday Switchup: American Goldfinch

Posted on June 16, 2024 by Adam Lang

This little approximately-spherical birb scolded me one day as I wandered down Union Street in Cow Hollow. Oddly, he isn’t a cow-bird, he’s a goldfinch! They sure are pretty.

I got a ‘live photo’. A REALLY long time ago I spent some time figuring out how to make live photos work on my blog, but embarrassingly enough, I can’t remember. So have a gif instead.

Dog of the Day: Polly the Samoyed

Posted on June 14, 2024 by Adam Lang

Polly-wolly (6) is not a doodle, all the day or at any other time. She is a giant flooooof!

Dog of the Day: Leroy the Not A Wolfhound, Really!

Posted on June 12, 2024 by Adam Lang

I saw Leroy (4) and asked his mom, ‘Okay, he’s half a wolfhound, but what’s the other half?’ And she said, ‘No he’s not!’ I just have to take her word that he’s a Great Dane poodle mix.

I dunno, he sure looks wolfhoundy to me.

Dog of the Day: Nellie Pepper the Mixed Breed

Posted on June 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

Nellie Pepper is a thirteen-year-old supermutt! She’s also got a Facebook page (well actually it’s her mom’s but she’s the real star.)

I know the feeling, Nellie. I’ve been having some sleep troubles too.

Silly little happy face!

Bunday Color Special: Matcha the Possibly Havana Rabbit

Posted on June 9, 2024 by Adam Lang

I met Matcha while I was out and about in North Beach a couple weeks ago. She is a friendly bun! I thought she was scared because she was huddled in the back of her little travel cage thingie but when I reached in to pet her she liked it!

She was adopted from the Peninsula Humane, so mom isn’t really sure what kind of bunny she is, but she sure looks like a Havana.

Matcha is also suuuuuper soft.

Dog of the Day: Goldendoodle Puppy?

Posted on June 7, 2024 by Adam Lang

I seem to have not got any notes for this pup. It could be a cockapoo, it could be a goldendoodle, it could be something in between. I do know that it was a puppy, though!

I know enough to know I gave the pup lots of ear-scritches, is that good enough?

Dog of the Day: Estée the Bichon Frisé

Posted on June 6, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Estée the Bichon Frisé today. It is her 9-month birthday, so I figured what the heck, she’s adorable, it’s probably a good time for me to post her.

She also was groomed yesterday, so she’s exceptionally floofly!
