Caturday Supplement: Where’d You Get Them Peepers?

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Adam Lang

I think I’ve used the tune before, but damn is it appropriate here. Orange eyes!

Black Kitten With Orange Eyes

Lovely eyes, a cute little black nosie, and perfectly pokeable paw-pads: this kitty got adopted real quick, you bet!

Dog of the Independence Day: Max the Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Jack Russell Terrier Mix

Posted on July 4, 2014 by Adam Lang

I took pictures of Max on July 4th of 2013, so I thought I’d put them up today. He is very definitely an independent soul.

Happy big-boom day. Hope your dogs had a good place to hide from all the loud noises.

Max was named after the dog in the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Can you see the resemblance?

He also likes to herd. A fact which was pointed out to me, but which I also learned firsthand, because he tried to herd me.

Another thing Max likes.

Hope you enjoyed your 4th as much as Max enjoys chin skritches.

Dog of the Day: Liberty the Pug Puppy

Posted on July 2, 2014 by Adam Lang

This is Liberty, aka Libby, the 5-month-old pug puppy. She was running up to bigger dogs and trying to get them to chase her. It was totally adorable. (Alas, all my other pictures of her are too blurry to post.)

She sure blends into the background, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Bailey the Guatemalan Street Dog

Posted on July 1, 2014 by Adam Lang

I think this is Bailey, anyway. If so, he’s a 3-year-old (in this picture) rescued Guatemalan street dog, who unlike many rescued street dogs is simply in love with everyone who comes along.

This is one of those mutts that looks like he was put together out of spare parts, but still manages to be totally adorable.

Look at that magnificent tail.

You don’t see the stripey nose on dogs without a fur stripe very often. I would have bet this was a recessive red dog, but the tail has black in it. Puzzling!

Dog of the Day: Seal/Corgi Mix

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Adam Lang

Autumn and I ran into this pup when we were out wandering, and I don’t appear to have recorded a name. Inexcusable. This might be Lina, I’m not really sure… it does look kind of like her.

Tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi

So pointy! Very carefully aimed at mom or dad, who probably had the treats.

I did get her attention briefly, anyway.

A very penetrating gaze.

Looking a little derpier than usual here.

Double Dog Day: French Bulldog and Golden Retriever

Posted on June 29, 2014 by Adam Lang

I love it! Who better to start a dog walking business than someone who knows dogs inside and out? And who could possibly know dogs better than another dog! Watch out, Autumn, your business has a bold new competitor!

Boston Terrier Walking a Golden Retriever

I saw these two from across the park, and it was hard to hold my camera still from all the giggling.

He really stuck with it, I have to say.

And he was surprisingly effective, considering the size differences.

More importantly, they both obviously loved it.

CaterDogDay of the Supplement From SPAAAACE: Baby Buster and Lil’ Buster

Posted on June 28, 2014 by Adam Lang

I don’t know what kind of post this is. Is it a Caturday Supplement? Is it a Dog of the Day? Is it ridiculously adorable? Why yes. Yes it is.

I ran into this pair outside AT&T park on a game day. There’s a program in San Francisco where homeless people foster animals for local shelters, and this guy had a dog and a cat that were quite well-trained and having an incredible amount of fun with one another. It’s hard to imagine that there was a better show inside the park than just outside.

(The dog is ‘Baby Buster’ and the cat is ‘Little Buster’.)

They were amazingly evenly matched. Neither one stayed on top for long.

Suspiciously evenly matched, actually. Pound for pound, I really think cats are a fair bit tougher than dogs.

I really think the cat was taking it easy on the dog. I mean, the cat wasn’t even play-biting. That’s either one well-trained cat, or a complete sweetheart.

This was actually a very short rest stop.

Tuxedo Cat

I love cats with socks. I hate trying to catch pictures of black animals in areas that are half sunny and half shadowed. Oh well.

Yay, kitty-tongue!

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever Mix

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Adam Lang

Unless this guy’s name is ‘nh’ I didn’t get the name down correctly, but I’m pretty sure about the mix (and I also know he’s 5 years old). Pretty amazing how much he looks like a flat-coat, isn’t it?

Black Fluffy Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed

A lot of mixes end up looking like flat-coats. People seem to like them a lot. Which makes me wonder even more why there aren’t more flat-coats around.

Nice fur to run your fingers through.

Dog of the Day: Teddy Bear the Puli

Posted on June 25, 2014 by Adam Lang

Haven’t seen one of these guys in a while: the Hungarian sheep dog, aka the puli. Pretty neat to pet one, and they must be itchy all the time because they sure are into the petting.

I hear the dreadlocks are quite a bit of work to keep clean and orderly.

Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Adam Lang

It’s been a while since I posted a Macy’s window puppy. This one was adorable because a fire truck went by and he started howling along with the siren.

The smear of red on the window is the reflection of the fire truck.

He looks old for his age, doesn’t he?
