Dog of the Day: Chihuahua Mix

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Adam Lang

I have had a very long and not terribly pleasant day, and I am going to go to bed early. So have a short but rather cute dog in a short but rather cute post.

I don’t have this pup’s name, but I’m pretty sure there’s some fluffy Chihuahua in there.

Dog of the Day: Moby Dach the Long-Haired Dachshund

Posted on March 4, 2015 by Adam Lang

Yes, that’s pronounced like the first part of ‘dachshund’. Moby’s 8, and quite small, but mighty in his cuteness.

Edit: OMG, how did I forget: FOOOOOOFLY WIENER!

Where’d his torso go??

When you can’t see the length of the body, they really do look kind of like little golden retrievers.

Puppydog eyes alert: cuteness overload.

Dog of the Day: Belle the Italian Greyhound/Jack Russell Terrier Mix

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Adam Lang

I ran into Belle (9) when we were both limping, so I felt an immediate sense of kinship.

(If anyone’s waiting to see pictures of their dog, drop me a line in the comments and I’ll prioritize you!)

Somehow I find it sadder to see a dog with a leg cast or wrap than a human. Partly because they don’t know it’ll be gone soon, I guess.

She’s still got the puppydog eyes down pat.

Dog of the Day: Alexander the Husky Puppy

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Adam Lang

Alexander (4 months old) was one of those few dogs who did not warm to me. Some dogs, the owner says, “Wow, he never usually goes near strangers, you must have a way with animals.” With Alexander it was more like, “Wow, he doesn’t usually hide from people like that.” Which was very disappointing.

Just like a big stuffed animal.

Look at those fluffy feets.

He definitely was very leery of me. I don’t know why… I even took my hat off!

Sunday Switchup: BLACK PHOEBE!

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Adam Lang

It sounds to me like a comic book villain, but who am I to judge?

I have absolutely no memory of taking these pictures. It’s only been a month.

Caturday Supplement: The Athlete

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Adam Lang

This kitty was very, very focused on her exercise. AKA viciously murdering a perfectly innocent little kitty-toy.

This is at the SPCA. I walked away and came back 25 minutes later. She was still at it.

Not that I’m one to judge. I wish any of my hobbies made me THAT happy.

Dog of the Day: Dalmatian

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Adam Lang

I love the liver-and-white dalmatians… they look just a little less sinister than some of the black and white ones do.

Occasionally I’m walking by a store and I just have to walk in because of a particularly cute dog. I often wonder what the shop owners think…

Dog of the Day: Wilhelmina the 13-Week-Old Italian Greyhound Puppy

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Adam Lang

She’s way too tiny for such a weighty name! Maybe she’ll let me call her ‘Mina’.

Tan And White Italian Greyhound Puppy

Italian greyhounds look so delicate, and the puppies look like they couldn’t stand up to a stiff wind.

Those ears. You could practically read through them.

The eyes are a little funny-looking too.

The one ear-floppage and the expression. Too cute.

She wasn’t too shy to say hello to me, frail-looking or not.

With a little luck I’ll get to see Wilhelmina again. With a lot of luck, I’ll get to see her tearing around a dog park like a little maniac.

Dog of My Birthday: Reggie the Shiba Inu/Italian Greyhound Mix

Posted on February 25, 2015 by Adam Lang

Yay, it’s my birthday. And as a special added bonus, I seem to have discovered how many years my limited warranty had left on it! (Adam is having some health issues, and is consequently somewhat testy. Beware. If you are not a dog, it might be wise to stay far, far away.)

Fortunately, I have Reggie (female, 4 years, assuming I’ve got the right dog here) to cheer me up.

Very Happy Shiba Inu Italian Greyhound Mix

Reggie was very, very happy to see us. (Autumn was with me, but is off-frame.)

See? Look at that expression.

Seal-dog!

Dog of the Day: Blue Merle Shetland Sheepdog

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Adam Lang

Saw this pretty pup outside of Crossroads Cafe. The glare was murder, but I did my best.

Blue Merle Tricolor Shetland Sheepdog

I was on my way to lunch with a friend and ex-coworker when I saw this pup. And then, while I was having lunch with her, I saw a blue merle collie out the window.

You really do just want to curl up with her and bask in the sun for a while.
