Dog of the Day: Zephram the Border Collie Mix

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Adam Lang

Still working on the ‘getting captions on live photos’ thing, so in the mean time here are some not-as-alive photos of a still-very-alive dog.

Zephram was just barely one year old when I took these shots. The collar was because of a minor eye issue. He did not seem to mind it at all, and I must say, I think it looked quite dashing on him. His parents knew he was a border collie mix but nothing else. I’d have to guess either Lab or golden was the other half, but it’s hard to say which.

There aren’t nearly enough dogs on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). This is due to the ‘no dogs’ policy.

You know who else had a ‘no dogs’ policy? I’m not saying it was Hitler, but IT WAS HITLER.

Zephram is a service dog, so he got to ride BART. STILL UNFAIR.

Sunday Switchup: A Rat In A Hammock

Posted on November 15, 2015 by Adam Lang

(PSA: if you’re viewing this on facebook I’m afraid you’ll just have to visit my site for the full experience of this one. I think.)

So I’ve been trying to figure out what to do about Apple Live Photos, which like I said before I really like but which don’t translate easily to the web.

It turns out, thought, that they do translate ‘difficultly’ to the web. Check this out: hover your mouse over the little ratty here and see what happens.

Now I just have to get captions working and we’ll be as happy as a rat in a hammock. A little rat hammock, expressly designed for cute little rats. With twitchy noses. And speaking of which…

Caturday Supplement: The Black Kittens of Caturday The Fourteenth

Posted on November 14, 2015 by Adam Lang

What a pity, Caturday not falling on Friday the 13th. I just don’t understand it, it doesn’t seem like it’s happened at all in the last… wait… I’m just getting a notification that Friday and Saturday very rarely fall on the same day. Huh. Who knew!

So today is Caturday the Fourteenth, and a good day for black kittens! And yes, this is a reference to that awful movie from when I was barely more than a kitten myself. But the kittens are not awful, unless you count ‘awfully adorable’.

Dog of the Day: Deputy Brown the Jindohuskita

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Adam Lang

Okay, take a deep breath and say it with me: this is Deputy Hunter Pinot Brown the First, also known as Deputy Brown or just Deps. She is a jindohuskita: a jindo/husky/akita mix, according to genetic testing, and this one I buy because look at her. And in these pictures she was 4 months old.

She isn’t any more. I ran into him back in January, and I can’t believe I’m just getting around to posting him now. Needless to say, she looks a lot different now, which you can see for yourself by checking out her very own tumblr page, where you can see highlights such as ‘her dressed as a bacon cheeseburger’ and ‘her along with a portrait of her done in latte’.

Edit: So I may have just run into Deputy Brown again and I may have just found out that I got her gender wrong when I wrote the original blurb. But in my defense, it was a guess based on the first name ‘Hunter’ since I didn’t write it down because I was too busy writing down thirty-six other names. So there’s that.

Dog of the Day: Zoe the Miniature English Bulldog

Posted on November 12, 2015 by Adam Lang

So apparently miniature English bulldogs are A Thing™. Or, at least, Zoe is a thing, and Zoe’s mom said that Zoe is a miniature English bulldog (3.5 years old). Thus, by induction, we can determine that cheese is delicious. And that Zoe is adorable, whether or not she looks like a French bulldog with floppy ears.

Zoe is, in addition to being a miniature English bulldog, a silly. With a very wide tongue.

Zoe looks grumpy, much like regular English bulldogs. Don’t let it fool you.

Ah, Buddy, you’re a gorgeous puplet even if I don’t know what half of you is.

Dog of the Day: Fluffy Corgi With Half-Floppy Ears

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Adam Lang

This’ll be the last corgi for a few days, so enjoy her. I know I did, because she is possessed of two thirds of the trifecta of ultimate cuteness: a fluffy corgi with half-floppy ears. All she needed was a long floofy tail and she would have been causing strong men to break down and weep.

Dog of the Day: Another CorgiCon-goer!

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Adam Lang

I’ve still got a few more of these guys. (Actually I have like fifty, so I’m trying really hard to find the best ones. Which is tough, because… corgis!) This guy in particular was running around the beach with his mouth so wide open I was afraid he’d faceplant and eat his weight in sand.

Seriously. I have twelve pictures of this guy running around. In every one, his mouth is open at least this wide.

I asked to take some pictures and dad scooped him up, and he instantly looked delighted.

See? Look at that happy face.

Sunday Switchup: Bay Bridge

Posted on November 8, 2015 by Adam Lang

Some rather unusual night shots of the Bay Bridge.

I just happened to be taking pictures of the bridge when there was this really bright flash, and…

Caturday Supplement: Snuggly Kitties

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Adam Lang

From my visit to Pets Unlimited a couple weeks back. I’m not sure if these two are parent and child or just good friends, but they were definitely putting on a good show of the ‘adopt us now for we are ridiculously adorable’ variety. I have little doubt that they were adopted soon after I visited, because who could resist that?

I want a kitten pile in my bed right now. I would lie down and add myself to the pile and go straight to sleep.
