Someone went shopping!

Just a corgi I found shopping in the Ferry Building market.

It wasn’t even food!

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Adam Lang

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEeeeeEEEEEE!

Donut is 5 months old. Donut is hilarious. Donut is adorable. Donut is also #donutgupta on Instagram.

I’m trying something new. Check out the pastiche and let me know what you think. (You won’t see it on facebook or twitter. Click through!)

This is what happens when Adam can’t decide which one to post.

A woman, a puppy, and a belly: the sweetest combination ever.

Cuddles!

This is a ‘blop’. It’s like a ‘blep’ only doggier. (Reference.)

And this is a ‘sprawl’.

Dog of the Day: London the Siberian Husky

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Adam Lang

London is six, and seemed surprisingly calm for a husky. Gorgeous, too!

Definitely got the husky pose down pat.

That’s not dad, although I do think the two of them had met before.

This is the best picture showing his facial coloration. Very unusual, very pretty. If you can’t see it well, check out the larger version by clicking on the photo.

Dog of the Day: Stevie the Catahoula Labrador Retriever Mix

Posted on July 25, 2016 by Adam Lang

I saw Stevie (3 years old) while I was wandering around Hayes Valley, and I did a total double-take. I have never seen eyes like hers. I can believe that she’s a catahoula mix, but still… what an intense look.

She was totally exhausted from playing, and was quite happy to just sit there for as long as I wanted to take pictures.

Look at those eyes. Not just bichromatic, but the same way on both sides. And SO PRETTY.

(Belated) Caturday Supplement: Wheezy the Tuxedo Kitty

Posted on July 24, 2016 by Adam Lang

Six pictures of Wheezy! Wheezy is the other half of the dog-and-cat comedy duo, along with Lucy from Friday. He is is a ultra-sweet kitty who really just wants a little love, a few belly rubs, a little petting, and a lot of playing with a big peacock feather.

(Okay, okay, it’s not Caturday any more. Busy weekend.)

Tuxedo Cat Curled Up Into A Ball

He was a very easy-going cat. Took the attention when I gave it, and wandered off and curled up when I didn’t. (Despite the implications of my hovertext.)

Floofiest kittehbelleh in the west!

That rare cat who doesn’t bring the claws into it when you give him a belly rub.

Just lay there and purred.

Shortly after I was done cat-sitting him, he apparently completely demolished this feather.

He really likes me! (Of course, he likes everybody. But still.)

Dog of the Day: Lucy the Basenji Australian Kelpie Mix

Posted on July 22, 2016 by Adam Lang

So last weekend I dog-and-cat-sat for an adorable pair. This is one half of the two: an adorable basenji Australian kelpie mix named Lucy.

She was so super-cute, all waving at me.

Even if she did steal an entire bag of treats before I got there and eat them, and then spend most of the day with a tummy-ache.

I took her out for a walk. She took me straight to where her dad works, probably in the hopes he could make her feel better. When she couldn’t get in, she tried to take me to where her mom works.

Her nose was warm and dry for a while. I think it was just the tummy troubles.

Don’t worry, I didn’t leave the blanket on for long.

Dog of the Day: Crazy Samoyed

Posted on July 21, 2016 by Adam Lang

I think we’re getting close to the end of my good CorgiCon corgi pictures. And after all, I don’t want to turn my blog into ‘the corgis (and occasionally other dogs) of San Francisco’, so that’s probably all to the good. But there weren’t just corgis on that beach that day.

I think CorgiCon might have had a minimum goofiness entrance requirement.

Dog of the Day: Graceful Swimmer

Posted on July 20, 2016 by Adam Lang

There are few things as graceful as a corgi in the water. (Incidentally, if you’re seeing this on Facebook, it’s well worth clicking through to see the other pictures.)

It still looks impressive, even when you know the water’s only a few inches deep.

Well… some times more than other times.

Magnificent.

Dog of the Day: Corgi Border Collie Mix

Posted on July 19, 2016 by Adam Lang

This could actually be a full corgi, albeit an unusual one. The thing that makes me think it’s a mix is the stare.

Dangerously adorable. Dangerously intelligent. A frightening combination.

Caturday Supplement: Little Black Kitten OF DOOM

Posted on July 16, 2016 by Adam Lang

So I dog-and-cat-sat today, for a totally adorable pair of rambunctious animals named Lucy and Wheezy. I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait a little while for pictures of the two, for terribly technical reasons (aka ‘I am too lazy to download, categorize, and edit the pictures from my phone tonight’) but you’ll see them soon. In the mean time, here is an adorable kitten I ran into at the SPCA on my last visit.

She watched me through the window for a while, but when it became obvious I couldn’t pet her or play with her…

…she just put her head down and went straight to sleep.
