Dog of the Day: Kirby the Sheep-a-Doodle

I don’t know if Kirby (f, 2) is named after the vacuum, but I have to say that that would be a great name for a lot of dogs I’ve known.

I saw Kirby and I instantly said ‘wow, is that a sheepadoodle?’ I dunno how, it’s something in the eyes.

A lot of the doodles are pretty hard to tell apart.

Dog of the Day: Watson the Basset ‘Something’ Mix

Watson is almost definitely a basset hound mix, but I’m not really sure what else he is. He almost reminds me of a Chesapeake bay retriever, or a toller, or something like that. And he looks a little bit like Marco, but a little bit less shaggy, so maybe even Brittany spaniel? Damn, I dunno. I just know he looks like the kind of dog I’d like to spend an evening watching old Hill Street Blues episodes and sharing a bowl of popcorn with.

Anyone got any ideas what he could be mixed with? Leave a comment!

Dog of the Day: Impatient Dutch Shepherd

Someone was making an awful lot of noise today…

Dog of the Day: Roxanne the Wire-Haired Mini Dachshund

Roxanne (3) may or may not have to put on the red light, but she definitely has the tunes: she’s the store dog at Open Mind Music. Although I must say, their web site has a page called ‘The Curator’ but that page doesn’t have any information about Roxanne, so clearly the page is not up to date. On the other hand, their Instagram page (@open_mind_music) is up to date: there’s at least one cute picture of Roxy on there.

She makes a great salespupper, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Peixe the Standard Poodle

Peixe (girl, 3) isn’t even all that fond of water, particularly. I’m not 100% sure where she got her name, but whatever, it’s pretty cute, and she is too!

Black dogs in the sun are absolute murder to photograph. At least in this one you can see her eyes. If you look hard.

Dog of the Day: Max the Exceptionally Foofly Norwich Terrier

Max is going to be turning 2 in a week or so, and his name might well be short for Maximally Fluffy.

It was wild, watching him sprinting across the grass. Floof flying out in all directions.

Puppy of the Day: Bao the Shiba Inu

Bao — so named because he’s the same shade as the bun of the same name — is only 5 months old, do you believe it? He’s gonna be a giant shibe!

Too bad there were no kids in the playground. I would’ve loved to have gotten some pictures of him playing with them.

Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

Ran into this pup about 10 feet away from yesterday’s pup, just chilling out and watching the proceedings.

So casual. Wonder how old he is?

Dog of the Day: Luna the Redbone Coonhound Birthday Girl

What do you know? I ran into another birthday pup today. She’s turning 7 on the 21st, and I figured I’d post it today, both so that she’s on the page for her birthday, and so that I wouldn’t forget it, because I’m damn good at that.

She’s a real sweetie. I don’t know why I see so few hounds in the Bay Area.

She’s tough to get pointed in the direction of the photographer, though!

Bunday Color Supplement: Double Size Special!

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Alex the Great! Alex the Great is … pretty great. He is the only bunny member of the San Francisco Airport Wag Brigade, so he spends much of his time comforting unhappy passengers in the airport. We have run into a couple of Wag Brigadiers before. Neither of them were bunnies, though one was not your typical comfort animal either.
