Holidays, plane flights, a dog-sit from today through the 2nd, and my first TWO colds in two years, back to back! 2016 has definitely not been my year. Sniffle sneeze snort. Working on a long belated Christmas post. Soon, soon.
On the up side, the dog in question is sprawled on the sofa next to me with his hind legs in my lap. So that’s nice.
Everyone’s going to bed, with visions of sugar-glazed mousies dancing in their heads!
Someone does not seem to have quite grasped the concept.
Hope you’re sleeping like kittens.
Tell me you don’t love that position. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… the FACEPAW!
Yorkie mixes, maybe? Scruffy little pups, to be sure. There are more like ’em waiting at Macy’s in San Francisco… come on down and adopt a little bundle of cute!
I think someone just wanted to be left in peace for a while. I can sympathize: playing for an audience can be so exhausting!
Accio (8, male) the shiba inu is, of course, named after the summoning spell from Harry Potter. (I asked specifically, because I’m a geek like that.) Apparently that’s because when they call him he comes over, which seems quite reasonable.
Accio was totally friendly, and apparently not at all hungry. Mom offered him a treat to make him pose, and he was totally uninterested.
Got to admit, I don’t run across many dogs who just pass up the treats.
Sudden inrush of people.
I ran into two (2) adorable dogs on MUNI yesterday. One was Chef the adorable 8-month-old corgi puppy with his own instagram, and the other you will see tomorrow.
Chef was mostly being very good, but you could tell he really wanted to play with the dog across the aisle. He kept looking up at mom like ‘Can I NOW? PLEEEEASE?’
This is him gazing over at the other dog in longing.
I ran into Blue and his dad today, wandering around Mission Bay. And I was my usual “Oh my god what a gorgeous dog” and his dad said, “Yeah, you took some pictures of him and then NEVER POSTED THEM hint hint hint.” So I took some more. And then I went and looked and wouldn’t you know it, the old ones are actually better than the new ones. I’d even started editing them, I just couldn’t narrow it down so I left it ‘for later’.
I’m bad like that.
Humongous for a husky. And very fluffy. And pretty!
I’ve almost never met a husky who was serious. Blue is no exception.
Those eyes.
And that expression. Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes.
Why post anything else?
Nobody cuddles like kittens. It’s just not even a contest. They look like they were POURED together.
Wait, does the one on the right have white socks but some black toes? And some pink toes/ And a pink nose? Why yes. Yes he does.
Some sort of wire-haired terrier-ish mix is my best guess. Super-playful and active, at least when I was there.
She had just been put back in the window after a potty break, so she gazed at that door for a few seconds to see if it would open again, and then noticed the people behind her.
Came over to say hello.
Boop! Noseprints on the glass.
Teensy little puppy tongue.
Boop! Noseprints on the glass.
I have no idea what this gal was, but isn’t she cute? Those ears look like they should belong to a dog ten times her size.
Her friend is a little more readily identifiable.
Edit: A little birdie in the comments tells me that her name is Pepper and she’s a ‘pom-pom’: a Pomeranian toy poodle mix. I would never have guessed.
Soft fur, and more fluff than any two dogs need. Which is of course a different amount than they might WANT.
Yes, they really are the same species.
Doberman pinschers were the ‘big scare’ dogs before the pit bulls took over. As you can see, this one is determined to do his part to keep that misconception safely buried.
He was very, very patient with my requests.
Gazing lovingly into the treat.
