Dog of the Day: Fidel the Chihuahua

Autumn and I walked this pup around Bernal Heights.

Fidel was a pain, but he meant well, and I like the way these pictures came out.

Okay… a little derpy. Still cute.

Dog of the Day: Bear the Shih-Tzu/Maltese Mix Puppy

Another one from last year. Bear was pretty cute, and was just about a handful at the time.

It was a good gig: dad would hold out Bear and he would distribute kisses.

Floof!

Sunday Switchup: Awesome Sweater, or Awesomest Sweater?

Ran into this woman at Al’s Attire, but alas, I’m pretty sure they don’t sell that sweater there.

Where does one get such a thing? It does not appear to exist on the Internets, or my Google-fu is weak.

Too cute!

Skinny kitty just wants love.

Backstage at Macy’s. This kitty was rotated out of the Christmas windows for some rest and petting.

Someone knows what she wants, and just who to bug for it.

Dog of the Day: Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy?

Hard to tell from this angle, and I have no notes, but the face looks ridgebackian to me.

Dog of the Day: Mario Eduardo Bernal (“Edward”) the Golden Retriever Mix

Just found this guy while trolling through old photos from last year. How did I overlook him before?

Quite an intense stare!

Awfully dainty paw placement. I can’t tell how long his legs are… maybe he’s got some Cardigan in him?

Dog of the Day: Bodhi the 3-Month-Old Goldendoodle Puppy

As if one puppy this week weren’t enough, here we have Bodhi, the adorably excitable.

Goldendoodle Puppy Being Stubborn

Bodhi was being goofy and wiggly and intermittently flumping down on the ground and refusing to move.

The exposure is horrible, but I just had to show you the happy face.

Alas, Bodhi had to go pretty quick.

Dog of the Day: Tamir the Miniature Mexican Hairless (Xoloitzcuintle)

I’d say Tamir (5 years old, and a girl) looked like a baby bat, but y’all might take it the wrong way. I happen to think that baby bats are adorable.

I can’t believe this is our first Mexican Hairless, but it sure looks that way. Congrats, Tamir!

She kind of has that ‘gargoyle’ thing going on too.

Dog of NATIONAL PUPPY DAY: Pooh the 4-Month-Old Shetland Sheepdog

Who better to celebrate National Puppy Day with than an adorable little Shetland sheepdog?

I just ran into him last Friday, on my way to work.

With all the ears and the fluff, he’s practically got a mane.

I came THAT close to blowing off work and following this puppy around all day.

Still not sure I made the right decision.

I made the wrong choice.

Oh well. I think he lives close by, so maybe I’ll see him again soon.

Sunday Switchup: Architecture

(If you’re viewing this from Facebook, and it looks weirdly cropped, click through to the blog post. It’s worth it. At least, I think so.)

Was just going through my old pictures, and found this one neglected in a folder. I quite like it. It’s the top knobby-bit from the Point Reyes lighthouse.

I did have to get a little bit out on some rocks to get it, but not much. The sun was very, very cooperative, for a change.
