This pup can already serve as a service dog for me. No need to train him further, I’ll just wrap him up and take him home now, thanks.
I was so distracted by the cute that I never did get his name.
It’s going to take a lot of training, I think. He just flumped over like this as soon as I showed the least bit of interest.
Dogs aren’t quite as flexible as cats, but they sure do like some silly positions.
He gave me many puppy-smooches.
I’ve always liked these things, even if they are an invasive species. The flowers are tasty, the plants are gorgeous, and they don’t show many signs of taking over large areas.
I guess the leaves and seeds are edible too, but I’ve only tried the flowers.
Lovely, tasty, easy to grow… what’s not to like?
A Macy’s kitten. I haven’t met many cats so far this year.
No one and nothing can relax like a cat.
Samson was 8 months old when I took these pictures, though that was nearly a year ago now.
Huskies always look a little manic…
…or a LOT manic.
I ran across Voodoo Child (now 4 years old) way back in 2013, and took a bunch of totally blurry pictures. Ran across him again and was in too much of a hurry to take any pictures. But third time’s the charm!
So gangly. I bet he’s super fast.
Almost more deer-like than dog-like. Very striking eyes, too.
Autumn and I both always forget how big these guys actually are, until we run into one. Twix is 14, and quite well-mannered.
I will be charitable and assume that he would have been just as well-behaved if there had been food on the table.
Hmm. Well, maybe he’s just thirsty.
Most of my pictures of Maple came out unusable, due to contrast issues. But I just had to show him to you because he may have the longest, fluffiest, sticky-outy-est fur I’ve ever seen in my life. He has fur as long as an Old English Sheepdog does, but it stands out straight instead of flopping down. How?
Not sure what makes him so fluffy, but it’s amazing.
These two were clearly made for each other.
Sorry if I’m disappointing anyone, but I think both of them are taken. 🙂
Can anyone look at those two and not grin?
A friend of Autumn’s has a lovely dog that she has to give up temporarily — they are moving into a place they can’t keep the dog, but are trying as hard as they can to find someplace that they can, and are trying to buy, rather than rent, which makes things easier. In the mean time, though, they need someone to take care of Finbarr, just for a few months.
According to Robin, he’s three years old, and very likely a ridgeback mix, which means high energy: he really needs an hour or more of exercise a day. He doesn’t get along well with cats, and may or may not get along with another dog… he’s apparently pretty dominant with them, though he’s fine around people. He has a loud bark, but if you don’t have dogs passing your home in sight/smell range on a regular basis this may not be a problem.
On the up side: he love his ball, so he’s easy to exercise, although I bet (speculation on my part) that he’d love to go jogging with someone too. He’s super-sweet and friendly with people. He’s well house-trained: no chewing, no ‘mistakes’, no doggie vandalism.
So, who will bite on this exclusive once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Hey, high-energy dogs require a lot of rest for those giant explosive bursts of energy.
Yup, I can definitely see the ridgeback. Almost like a ridgeback/malinois mix.
These two were both napping on a cross-town bus. I wish I hadn’t cut off the guy’s head, but I got the important one, right?
I’ve fallen asleep on an SF MUNI bus once. I woke up with what felt like a dislocated neck.
