Dog of the Day: Boxer Mix?

This guy’s a toughie. I’m guessing boxer and something else, but no real idea what.

Sorry I missed the weekend. Wasn’t feeling so hot. I’ll be fully recovered as soon as I can get a decent night’s sleep… any day now. 😛

Perhaps not the most decorous of shots.

He almost looks like a full boxer, but his muzzle’s just a bit too long.

He’s got the plaintive boxer expression, but not the concerned boxer forehead wrinkles.

Dog of the Day: Cooper the Springer Spaniel Puppy

Autumn ran into Cooper when he was only 3 months old, and told me, “Oh my god, there’s a puppy in the neighborhood that you totally have to see.” It was another month before I ran into him, but I’ve seen him a couple times since then. He’s still gorgeous.

In the background are three pups I’ve featured on my blog, at various times.

Cooper is clearly ready for this…

If you look closely, you can still see the biscuit. (Incidentally, I got this shot on my iPhone 5s. Not bad, huh?)

So, is anyone else reminded of this video?

At least he didn’t have any trouble finding it.

Well, I’m sure he’ll manage to catch it next time, right?

Dog of the Day: Jack the Siberian Husky

It’s a husky sort of day, don’t you think? Jack is 5 in these pictures, and definitely has that husky attitude.

The ‘noble husky’ attitude. Mom holding a treat helps, of course.

There’s the treat.

Yeah, he dropped it. And then couldn’t find it. (I think this is what they call a ‘hangdog expression’.)

Lovely eyes.

There, he found it.

Quite a demure look, especially coupled with sticking his tongue out.

Good News of the Day: Sully Was Adopted After All!

Remember Sully? Turns out she was adopted on Valentine’s Day.

I’m so glad, I was really worried for her.

Dog of the Day: Max the Old English Sheepdog/Golden Retriever Mix

I don’t know how I missed Max for so long… it’s really inexcusable. Such an awesome mix!

He got a lot more sheepdog than he did golden retriever, in appearance.

A good view of the bandana, busy at work making this dog 15% more awesome.

He’s perfectly capable of taking himself for a walk… but it’s much more fun with two!

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.
