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.

Dog of the Day: Frankie the Sheepadoodle Puppy

Frankie is still (barely) a puppy, at 10 months old, but he’s already got the ‘friendly’ thing down pat. Now he just has to work on the ‘no jumping’ thing.

He looks really calm, doesn’t he?

Appearances can be deceptive. Though not, in his case, for long.

Dog of the Day: Hatchi the Siberian Husky

Hatchy (9, a boy) plays a little hard to get, but he’s just a big softie really.

There’s a dubious look for ya.

See? Told you he warmed up fast.

Dog of the Day: Mattie the Wire-Haired Dachshund

Don’t see a lot of wire-haired ones around. Mattie (5, a girl) is a rarity!

Damp Dog of the Day: Bosco the Italian Water Spaniel

Autumn brought an old friend of the blog with her down to a music-teaching gig she had in the wilds near Santa Cruz, and I was down there with them and caught a ton of pictures. And not aa single one came out looking the slightest bit normal. This one is kind of neat, though.

His teeth aren’t really as terrifying as they look in this picture, I promise.

Dog of the Day: Sleepy Great Pyrenees

It’s been a long, annoying day. My home internet is down, and annoying stuff happened at work, and bah and also humbug. So here is a picture of a Great Pyrenees that I ran into on a farm a little while back. No caption or hovertext, just enjoy the pup.

Dog of the Day: Zamboni the Basset Hound

Zamboni (3) has one of the most original and awesome names I’ve run across.

Basset Hound With Hangdog Expression
Bassets are pretty much top-notch when it comes to puppydog eyes.

Dog of the Day: Xochi the Mutt

Xochi (boy, 1) is just the kind of mutt I like: ridiculous ears, lots of fluff, 50 pounds of happy in a 40 pound sack.

Mixed Breed Dog With Giant Fuzzy Ears
Apparently he’s 1/4 Belgian malinois but that’s all they know.

Dog of the Day: Cooper the Old English Sheepdog Poodle Mix

Coopah! Cooper (2) is a sheep-a-doodle. Unlike another dog who I will be posting soon, who looks WAY more like an Old English sheepdog than Cooper does, but who has no sheepdog in her at all. Funny, that!

Grey And White Sheepadoodle
I still think that a Cocker spaniel poodle mix should be called a ‘Cock-a-doodle’. (Although would that mean that if the owner had to get out the poop bags they’d be picking up ‘cock-a-doodle doo’?)

Dog of the Day: Macy the Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Mix

I asked if Macy (4 years old) was a Macy’s San Francisco Christmas Window Puppy, but it turns out mom just liked the name.

Looks like almost pure Lab, doesn’t she?

For a mix that has no husky in it, Macy seems to have a very husky sense of humor.
