Dog of the Day: Chubbs the Newfoundland Dog

The first thing I said when I saw Chubbs was ‘oh my God is he a puppy?’ After hearing that no, he was two, I said, ‘Wow, he’s a grown-up, but he’s so little!’ His mom thought that was hilarious, and said, ‘Yeah, he is very small for a Newfie, but most people tell me how huge he is!’ Everything’s relative, I guess.

I haven’t seen a Newfie in aaaaages. They’re definitely not in the top fifty breeds in SF.

Double Dog Day: Mary Poppins the Cardigan Pembroke Mix and Gatsby the Australian Shepherd

I love these two! What a perfect combination. Mary is 1, and a complete rambunctious rascal, and Gatsby is 13 and… another one!

Is this really our first Pembroke Cardie mix? They seem to be a lot rarer than most other corgi mixes for some reason.

Dog of the Day: Rufus the Puli

Rufus (1) is our first Puli in quite some time. His dreadlocks haven’t come in yet, and he’s a little anxious.

I didn’t remember ever seeing a white one before, but we did, almost ten years ago.

Looking forward to seeing what a white puli in dreadlocks looks like, though.

Dog of the Day: Mocha the Bernadoodle

It seems that Mocha (3) is the sort who, when wandering through a store, just can’t let a person go by without saying hello. This is in my opinion entirely fair, since I am the sort who, when wandering through a store, can’t let Mocha go by without saying hello.

Mocha also has an instagram, which is supposed to be at ‘mochaforthegram‘, but for some reason it’s not loading for me. Perhaps you will have better luck.

Triple Dog Day: Baby Sinatra the Chihuahua, Eevie the Australian Shepherd, and Blue the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Puppy

These three had enough personality for a whole dog pack. Blue in particular is about ten weeks old and pretty much ohmygodcute.

Anyone want to write some hovertext for me? They’re very expressive.

Puppy of the Day: Remy the Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix

Sometimes the puppies come in clusters. Remy (7 months) only part Rhodesian, but he follows another Ridgeback puppy only two days ago.

Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix Puppy
Only 7 months and not only is he huge, he’s also got the ‘noble man’s best friend’ pose down pat.

I found some great noises to make. I often get the puppy head-tilt these days.

Puppy of the Day: Roger the French Bulldog

Roger is 11 weeks old! And wow. So cute.

Merle French Bulldog Puppy In Someone's Arms
Merle Frenchies are apparently pretty unusual and expensive. There are, needless to say, quite a lot of them in certain neighborhoods of San Francisco.

Puppy of the Day: Dia the Rhodesian Ridgeback

Dia is only three months old, so sometimes she still needs a little help getting around.

She’ll grow into her skin, I promise.

That is just about the maximum amount of scrawn that it’s legal to have.

Dog of the Day: Teddy the Golden Retriever

Teddy (1) is well-named. He’s just a big ol’ teddy bear.

Golden Retriever Looking Cheerful
The ‘one squinty eye’ thing is funny. I wonder if I look like that when half my face is in shadow.
