Dog of the Day: Kayla the German Shorthaired Pointer

Posted on February 3, 2015 by Adam Lang

So: Kayla. Kayla is a ridiculous goofy dog who was 10 months old when these pictures were taken, but was still under the impression that she was a tiny lap-puppy. And long may she remain so!

(Incidentally: I think the site is fully working now, with functional SSL (look at the URL bar! all locked up tight!) and everything. Just some cleanup left to do, for stuff that’s not visible to the audience. It was a lot of work, but on the upside, I understand all this stuff a lot better, and I’m going to be using that info at work very soon now.)

She is apparently content to sit like this for hours.

I like the unanimity.

Sudden attack of the sleepies?

Dog of the Day: Pit Bull Mix

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Adam Lang

Another day, another two hours spent working on the site. But it’s up and running, and most of it is working. The goal is in sight! I’m feeling good.

If you notice anything wrong with the way the site is working, please let me know. And in the mean time, have a pit bull mix from the SPCA.

According to their web site, this pup has been adopted since this picture was taken. Yay!

Sunday Switchup: DOGS!

Posted on February 1, 2015 by Adam Lang

In another year or two, this sign will be something I can wholeheartedly support. Once the rest of the red wears off.

Sign

If it’s still there at that point, I might go back and go over ‘Please’ and ‘Thanks’ with a red pen, so it says ‘Please Dogs Thanks’.

PSA: Do Not Let Your Dog Near Lake Chabot

Posted on February 1, 2015 by Adam Lang

Three dogs have died this season already, just from drinking the water. It’s due to a poisonous algal bloom. These typically happen in the summer, but it turns out it’s been a very warm winter.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kitten

Posted on January 31, 2015 by Adam Lang

I’ve been saving this one. Consider it a celebration for my semi-successful site move.

I feel like this kitten must have taken a correspondence course in photogenic studies.

See? Talk about stealing the show.

Also: that ear hair.

Blog News: Move Complete… With A Minor Issue

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Adam Lang

Edit: Yay move is complete except for the whole ‘can’t click on any posts ha ha ha’ part. I am working on this and will get it fixed as soon as I can.

Edit 2: Okay. Fixed. Boy that was annoying.

So, I moved the blog over to my new hosting. Some of you may have noticed by the fact that it now loads quickly instead of ridiculously slowly.

Only one thing went wrong: my site got kind of messed up in the process, and I had to go back to the backup. Which SHOULD have been 100% current, since I make one at 1 AM every day and my last post was well before that. But for some reason my last post, the ridiculously adorable Pomeranian/husky mix, disappeared.

I’ll try to fetch it from the mangled old site, or maybe just recreate it, but in the mean time, if you saw it, you’re among the lucky few.

Anyway, posting will be back on track tomorrow.

Double Dog Day: Macy’s Window Puppies

Posted on January 28, 2015 by Adam Lang

I’m a little down today, and need a pick-me-up. And I’d love to pick these two up, so that seems quite appropriate to me.

The two of them were staring fixedly at the section of wall that someone had just opened up to refill the water bowl.

Look at the spectacle markings on the one in the back.

Dog of the Day: Stella the Golden Retriever

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Adam Lang

I thought Stella was a puppy but she’s really 8.

Golden Retriever Looking Noble

The tag says ‘I love you so much.’ Well, after all, this IS a golden retriever.

Golden Retriever Looking Snide And Sticking Tongue Out

That’s an unusual expression for a golden.

Golden Retriever Sitting And Grinning

There, that’s a more typical expression.

Golden Retriever Grinning

I needed that little smile, after calling and emailing quite a few dog shelters today.

Schnozz schott!

Site News: Someone Please Adopt This Dog?

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Adam Lang

Even a foster home would be wonderful. She’s such a sweetheart, I can’t imagine how anyone came to the conclusion that she was unadoptable. No aggression, and she takes around 30 seconds to warm up to people. Literally. I have the feeling that her nervousness may be because she was in a puppy mill for a while, and the Animal Care & Control facility reminds her of that, but even still, having met her, I can’t imagine any sensible person coming to such a conclusion.

So. So much for ‘humane San Francisco’. If you can’t take her but know someone who can, or know a group that might be able to take her, please leave a comment or drop me a line at alang at this blog’s address (dogsofsf.com) ASAP.

Please?

Sleepy Sunday Switchup: Sea Lions

Posted on January 25, 2015 by Adam Lang

I realize I post a fair number of pictures of these guys, but hey… I like ’em.

Sea Lions Sleeping On Top Of One Another On Pier 39 In San Francisco

I love their teeny tiny ears.

Sea Lion Grinning At The Camera On Pier 39 San Francisco

I have six shots of this guy, all taken right in a row. In only one of them, the third one, he grinned at me like this, just for a split second.

Sea Lion With Neck Twisted Sideways Sleeping On Pier 39 San Francisco

I swear sea lions have some ferret in them.

Row Of Sea Lion Tails On Pier 39 San Francisco

I was taking this one to get a picture of the ridiculously little bitty tails, but then this guy in the water kept bobbing up and down in front of ’em.

For some reason when I first saw this guy’s picture I thought ‘Alfred Hitchcock.’ Now I don’t see the resemblance. The brain is a funny thing.

Every lazy Sunday must eventually come to an end.
