Dog of the Day: Axel the German Shepherd

Posted on July 8, 2024 by Adam Lang

Until I met Axel (11), I had never met a full German shepherd with a floppy ear. I wouldn’t say my life is complete, but it is definitely more complete than it was before!

I feel like his folks might have told me that it was due to an injury, but I have no notes, and prefer to assume it fell down from the weight of sheer awesome it was holding up.

I guessed Bear’s (5) breed right off. A GREAT HUSKY!

Double Dog Independence Day: Puffington and Emma the Pembroke Welsh Corgis

Posted on July 4, 2024 by Adam Lang

Happy Fourth of July! I wonder if these two are huddling terrified in a bathtub or happily watching the fireworks? Either way, I hope they have a safe celebration.

Puffington is the tricolor, and is a boy. I didn’t ask, but I like to think his full name is Lord Puffington Sweepstakes the Eleventieth.

That makes this one Emma. They’re both nine, but they have the corgi eternal puppyhood down pat.

Dog of the Day: Ninja the Shiba Inu

Posted on July 2, 2024 by Adam Lang

Is Ninja (11! no way!) really a Ninja? If so, he is a very polite one.

Ninja is a better MUNI passenger than many humans I have seen.

Puppy of the Day: Sweet Winnifred The Golden Retriever Bernese Mountain Dog Mix

Posted on July 1, 2024 by Adam Lang

Sweet, sweet Winnifred! That’s not just my opinion, that’s the name of her instagram page. And if you think she’s cute now, at 7 months old, you should see some of the pictures of her on that page, when she was just a little squooshy puppy!

This was at a street festival in the district known as ‘Cow Hollow’. I’m not honestly sure whose rug it was.

Whosever it was, it apparently smelled nice.

Dog of the Day: Norman the Pug Puppy

Posted on June 28, 2024 by Adam Lang

Norman (4 months) was… a challenge. I did not get any traditionally ‘good’ pictures of him at all. However, I think you might forgive me, after you finish laughing.

Pugs are among the goofiest-looking of the dog breeds.

Theo is only ten months old! He looks all grown up, doesn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Unknown Mixed Breed Puppy

Posted on June 25, 2024 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get any notes about this pup, so I am just going to assume that he is a Greater North American Snooflehound. If it weren’t for the ears I’d say he looked like a black-mouth cur.
