Sunday Switchup: Awesome Sweater, or Awesomest Sweater?

Posted on March 29, 2015 by Adam Lang

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?

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on March 26, 2015 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Adam Lang

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)

Posted on March 24, 2015 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Adam Lang

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.

Tiny vicious puppy barks!

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

Posted on March 22, 2015 by Adam Lang

(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.

Caturday Supplement: A Boy And His Cat

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Adam Lang

I ran into this guy taking his cat out for a walk. Needless to say, he was surrounded by admirers, and got a bit of attention from some passing dogs as well. I didn’t quite catch the kitty’s name: it was somewhere between Buffy and Poppy, with a possible stop at Fluffy or Floppy. Well, whatever, pretty cute.

Also, my point-and-shoot camera (Canon SX260 HS) just semi-died after two years and four months of service (which is to say, four months out of my credit-card-extended warranty), so most of my pictures are liable to be iPhone until I can figure out what to replace it with.

He was actually less skittish than the looks in these pictures. Still not exactly delighted though.

As best I could make out, he was looking at someone’s toes.

I’ve lived here for over ten years now, but Polk Street never ceases to provide amusement.

Man Holding Tiger Tabby Cat

Hmm. Checked flannel shirt. Sunglasses. Walking a cat in San Francisco.

He really was remarkably tolerant in terms of human contact.

Man Holding Tiger Tabby Cat

I’m not very good at reading feline expressions. It’s a lot harder than dogs. Ears erect and forward, but eyes open and pupils constricted (though that might just be because it’s bright.) Wary but not alarmed, maybe?

Dog of the Day: Mochi the American Eskimo Dog

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Adam Lang

Who knew a shorn Eskie would look like a Pomeranian?

The expression also reminds me of a Pomeranian: pure joy.
