Fox of the Day: Yogi the Pomeranian

I maintain that Yogi (boy, 4) is a Fox-inna-Bag.

Dog of the Day: Borzoi

Two weekends ago I hit the ‘San Francisco DogFest’, which is really rather a small event, but it’s still fun. I met several dogs there, including this one.

Borzoi
Among the pointiest of dogs, even pointier than collies.

Double Dog Day: Zoey and Filbert the Boxers

I’m dogsitting in Sacramento! I was a little ambivalent about it at first because I remembered these two as being… quite a handful, when I sat for them a few years ago. But I am happy to report that although they are still crazy after all these years, they are not in fact nearly as crazy, and aside from a little leash-tugging, which I can handle, and a whole lot of ‘accidentally’ stealing all of the covers and trying their best to shove me out of bed, which I can put up with — mostly — they are a lot easier to deal with. And a whole lot of fun, especially when I’m petting both of them and they are both wagging their entire bodies.

I am still working during the days, so I reeeeally don’t want to go home again when I take them out. So they are the beneficiaries of some very long walks.

Dog of the Day: Collie

No biographical information for this one. Just a fearsomely floofy fella.

Collie
Ran into these two in the theater district of SF.

Just hanging out with a dog. I’m always down for some of that myself.

Dog of the Day: Chiba the Boxer Husky Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Chiba (2, a girl) is a real cutie, although I definitely wouldn’t have guessed the breed mix.

Don’t know the story behind the name, but Google sez it’s a city in Japan.

Now that’s a lot of happy.

Sunday Switchup: Rainbow

We do get these occasionally in SF, though I’m not always in a spot where I can see them through the buildings.

DoggiEvent: DogFest San Francisco

Ooh! It’s DogFest weekend, I almost forgot! If you’re in SF and have a pooch, drop by Duboce Park on Saturday, the 27th, between 11 AM and 4 PM for lots of fun with your fuzzy friend. If you’re in SF and don’t have a pooch, drop by DogFest and adopt one! Or at least pet a bunch of ’em.

More info is here: https://mckinleyschool.org/dogfest/

Click the links at the top of the page… the front page isn’t terribly informative.

Hope to see you there!

Dog of the Day: Colette the Chihuahua Shih Tzu Puppy

Apparently Colette is half Long-Coat Chihuahua, half Shih Tzu, and six months old. I sure am seeing a lot of puppies lately. Not that I’m complaining!

Colette does not like looking at cameras. Nevertheless, I finally managed to get a shot.

Dog of the Day: Bernadoodle Maybe?

Man, this guy’s a tough one! He sure does have his calisthenics down pat, though, doesn’t he?

Tricolor Poodle Mix
I dunno. Kind of dilute for a bernadoodle. Maybe an Aussiedoodle? Border-doodle?
Tricolor Poodle Mix Dancing
Might still be a puppy. Wish I’d grabbed a note about this one.

I don’t even recall what trick this was, although I think it was one.

He also likes belly rubs.

Dog of the Day: Mishka the Maybe Cocker Spaniel Poodle Mix Puppy

I don’t have any notes for Mishka, but his name is on his tags, and I think he might be a cockapoo.

If you look in the phone you’ll see a reflection of the sign we were standing in front of: ‘Korean Corn Dog’. I don’t think Mishka is Korean, but he might be a little corny!

Mishka basically means ‘little mousie’ in Russian (which I took in high school). Google says it means ‘bag’ in Ukranian. I’m choosing to assume that this is a little mousie.
