Dog of the Day: Daisy the Old English Sheepdog

Daisy’s one of our growing pack of local Old English Sheepdogs. I think her dad was surprised to hear me say that there were several around… but I think she knew Bumper. But then, everybody knows Bumper.

I need a dog to bury my face in right now (long story), and I think she’d be a great candidate.

Sunday Switchup: Water Droplets On Feather

I don’t really remember running across this… funny what insomnia will do to your memory.

Kinda pretty, regardless.

Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

This is the shop dog of a local nail salon. Every time I go by and peek in, I feel like he’s judging me.

Black And White Siberian Husky Looking Disapproving

I feel like I’m racially profiling this dog. I’m sure he or she is a wonderful, happy dog, but the eye markings just look… intimidating.

Dog of the Day: Chihuahua Mix

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.

Tan And White Chihuahua Mix With Ears Half Up

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

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!

Solid Cream Long-Haired Miniature Dachshund

Where’d his torso go??

Solid Cream Long-Haired Miniature Dachshund Licking His Own Nose

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

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!)

Jack Russell Terrier Italian Greyhound Mix With Wrapped Leg

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

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.

Silver Husky Puppy

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!

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

Male Black Phoebe On Branch

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

Caturday Supplement: The Athlete

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

Cat Playing With Dangly Rope Ball Toy

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

Cat Chewing On Dangly Rope Ball Toy

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