I caught this (10-year-old) pup doing a little window shopping. Seems like Henry isn’t the only dog who wants a hat.
This is out in front of Goorin Brothers in North Beach. It’s where I’ve bought several of my hats.
I always wonder whether Bedlingtons with the classic cut have actual binocular vision or not.
This is our third Bedlington. Wonder how many there are in San Francisco?
I wouldn’t have guessed at his age, He seemed quite peppy!
I dogsat last weekend, and it was for these two little monsters!
Actually, they were quite well-behaved, aside from trying VERY VERY hard to push me out of bed all night. And that wasn’t because they were mean, it was because they wanted to cuddle closer and closer and closer. But they were surprisingly methodical about it… one of them climbed under the covers and lay pressed against my knee, and one climbed under the covers and pressed up against the side of my chest. And then they just pushed, very gently, all night.
It’s funny… somehow I caught Henry looking kind of ill-tempered. He normally looks delighted.
Baby likes spending a lot of time curled up like this. It’s quite adorable.
Henry was very interested. (Besides chocolate, there’s nuts and dried raspberries in there.) But he must be well-trained because he never even looked like he was going to try to get up onto the table. And obviously it wouldn’t have been hard.
When I get a long time alone with a dog, probability approaches 100% that I will try to make them wear one of my hats. Henry didn’t even mind.
I think he looks pretty good in it, really.
I recently visited the SPCA to donate some things to them. (I already donated the money from last year’s t-shirt sales… these were some donations of towels and chew toys and stuff). While I was there I saw these two, patiently waiting to be adopted. I’d say hurry over, but I suspect they’re probably already gone… they were too adorable to stay for long.
You can just see them using their Jedi mind powers on everyone who walks by.
What a combination! Clarabella (4, in the orange collar, which you can barely see) and Sophie (6) are from the same parents, but obviously different litters. I can’t imagine why I see so few Pomeranian mixes, because they’re common dogs, and they’re so adorable. These two were mostly blurs, hence only the one picture, but boy were they cute and happy.
Yorkaranian? Probably better than ‘Pommie’, which sounds more like a fruit than a dog.
It’s been a very long week, so have a couple of kittens who look just as tired as I feel. (I’m currently dogsitting a pair of cute pups, since Autumn is out of town. They’re no trouble, mostly, but they definitely have me sleeping less soundly than usual.)
I just need a night or two of sleep this sound.
I bet this kitten doesn’t get up at 3 AM and howl at ambulances, either.
Mona is the mascot/queen/official greeter down at the Fight and Fitness Gym. Fortunately for me, she didn’t put up a fight, although she does seem very fit.
Whatever she is, she’s a pretty one.
She looks like she has the canine equivalent of a milk mustache: she looks like she got her nose stuck in a half pint milk carton.
Damn, I almost missed two days in a row! Well, it’s been a busy week. (And I’m going to be standing in for Autumn for dogsitting this weekend, so it’s looking like a busy weekend too.)
But I’d feel terrible if I neglected you that much, so here’s Cooper. No, he wasn’t named after ‘Mini Cooper’, although he is a mini-Australian labradoodle. He’s still a puppy, at 5 months old, but he’s not going to get a lot bigger than this.
Look at the splot of white at the tip of the tail.
Slightly shy look. I bet that gets all the girls. And guys. And other dogs.
A++++ dog. Would pet again.
Autumn is leaving the city for a while tomorrow, bound on her annual pilgrimage to the cradle of Irish music in the United States, the Irish Catskills, in upstate New York.
The dogs in San Francisco are going to be heartbroken when they hear. Like this adorable puppy, who I ran into yesterday morning on my way in to work. You can tell she was just devastated by the news.
Not quite sure what the cowlick thing going on there is.
I wish Autumn could have been there to meet this pup. The squealing would have been ultrasonic.
Oh my god that expression.
These two really do make a great pair.
Mojito may just be the most photogenic dog I’ve run into in months.
I hope to be seeing more of Mojito.
I’m not really sure. He looks kind of sad, though, doesn’t he?
Keeping a careful eye on me. Never know what I might do!
Like maybe walk away without petting him.
Not sure who the ‘friend’ is, but that little white splash on the tailtip sure is cute!
These two were adorable together.
I love that expression. Doesn’t he look like a coyote?
Dog play always looks so vicious. Look at those teefs!
