Dog of the Day: Bedlington Terrier

Funny, I have run into a number of these pups, and for some reason they are the only breed I’ve ever seen where ALL of them have the standard haircut. Down to the goofy little pom-poms on the ears.

They seem like nice, happy, cheerful pups, and all the ones I’ve run across have been healthy.

I just can’t help but wonder if they actually have, y’know, binocular vision.

Puppy of the Day: Jif the Bernadoodle

Jif is 4 months old and is not, in fact, pronounced ‘gif’. He does, however, like peanut butter an awful lot.

Hey, honestly I’m right there with him.

Somebody ran a circle around that pole in his excitement to see me, and then he couldn’t come greet me. Goof!

I really did try to untangle him, but that would have required him to momentarily get a tiny bit further away from me, and that wasn’t an option.

Dog of the Day: Blossom the Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi

I ran into Blossom (2) the same day I ran into Leeds. Quite different-looking, wouldn’t you say?

That’s more fluff than most fluffy corgis. I can only imagine the shedding…

Dog of the Day: Leeds the Repeat Customer Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Everyone say hello again to Leeds, 4, who was last featured on our blog last year. As you can see, he is just as awesome even without the shoes.

Also my camera is dumb. I took twelve pictures of Leeds and his dad, and in every single one of them, it helpfully decided that I wanted to focus on his dad’s face. This is as close as he got to being in focus. Grr. Silly phone. There should be some way for me to tell it that I like dogs.

Apparently Leeds’s (canine) father is an AOC champion named Prince. I was unable to verify this, as any google search of that kind gets caught up in Queen Elizabeth and , well, never gets un-caught.

Dog of the Day: Moca the Standard Poodle

Moca is 1, and her head-tilt game is strong!

It always surprises me how the short-fur muzzle and feet look on purebred poodles. It’s like a fur coat and brown patent leather shoes.

Dog of the Day: Portobello the Lagotto Romagnolo

Portobello (1, a boy) is only the second Italian water spaniel we’ve ever had, although we’ve featured Bosco quite a few times, since he’s a friend of the blog.

Portobello, though, is the first one with an awesome instagram.

Apparently these days Lagottos tend to be used for hunting truffles.

Dog of the Day: Kukur the Bichon Frisé Rottweiler Mix

Now there’s a mix for ya! Kukur is 15, and still a star, with his own instagram account and everything.

Kukur still does like running around the park! But he was a lot easier to take pictures of when he was relaxing in the grass.

Double Dog Day: Leo the Maltese Pomeranian And Eleanor the Maltese

Leo and Eleanor are both six, and they’re the best of friends.

Not just with each other. With pretty much anybody, really.

Leo is the one with the longer fur. Unsurprisingly, since he’s half Pomeranian.

Dog of the Day: Vegas the Pug/Beagle Mix (Again)

We’ve seen Vegas the puggle once before, way back in 2015! I hadn’t seen her in the Al’s Attire window since around 2017 or so, but here she is once again, lazing about in the sun and keeping an eye on the merchandise.

Site Note: I’m definitely planning on setting up a link with Instagram. I’ve had several people ask, so I thought I’d just mention it. But right now I’m concentrating on being kicked out of my apartment (temporarily) and therefore having to pack up my entire life and flee for several months.

It’s always nice to see an old blog friend still around!

I interrupted her nap. Didn’t even Sorry, pup!

Three Dogs One (Birth)Day: Gucci, Coco, and Baby Girl

Ran into these three today, there mostly-poodles-and-a-little-Chihuahua, and I had to post them even though it’s Sunday. Why? Because it is Baby Girl’s first birthday! So let’s all go on Instagram (shirleybaby2) and wish her a happy birthday!
