Dog of the Day: Roxanne the Wire-Haired Mini Dachshund

Roxanne (3) may or may not have to put on the red light, but she definitely has the tunes: she’s the store dog at Open Mind Music. Although I must say, their web site has a page called ‘The Curator’ but that page doesn’t have any information about Roxanne, so clearly the page is not up to date. On the other hand, their Instagram page (@open_mind_music) is up to date: there’s at least one cute picture of Roxy on there.

She makes a great salespupper, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Peixe the Standard Poodle

Peixe (girl, 3) isn’t even all that fond of water, particularly. I’m not 100% sure where she got her name, but whatever, it’s pretty cute, and she is too!

Black dogs in the sun are absolute murder to photograph. At least in this one you can see her eyes. If you look hard.

Dog of the Day: Max the Exceptionally Foofly Norwich Terrier

Max is going to be turning 2 in a week or so, and his name might well be short for Maximally Fluffy.

It was wild, watching him sprinting across the grass. Floof flying out in all directions.

Puppy of the Day: Bao the Shiba Inu

Bao — so named because he’s the same shade as the bun of the same name — is only 5 months old, do you believe it? He’s gonna be a giant shibe!

Too bad there were no kids in the playground. I would’ve loved to have gotten some pictures of him playing with them.

Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

Ran into this pup about 10 feet away from yesterday’s pup, just chilling out and watching the proceedings.

So casual. Wonder how old he is?

Dog of the Day: Luna the Redbone Coonhound Birthday Girl

What do you know? I ran into another birthday pup today. She’s turning 7 on the 21st, and I figured I’d post it today, both so that she’s on the page for her birthday, and so that I wouldn’t forget it, because I’m damn good at that.

She’s a real sweetie. I don’t know why I see so few hounds in the Bay Area.

She’s tough to get pointed in the direction of the photographer, though!

Bunday Color Supplement: Double Size Special!

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Alex the Great! Alex the Great is … pretty great. He is the only bunny member of the San Francisco Airport Wag Brigade, so he spends much of his time comforting unhappy passengers in the airport. We have run into a couple of Wag Brigadiers before. Neither of them were bunnies, though one was not your typical comfort animal either.

Ran into them down at the Ferry Building, where they were spreading smiles wherever they went.

Double Dog Day: Facci the Siberian Husky and Naia the Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Mix BIRTHDAY DOG!

Dammit. I took a picture of the black pup in this picture on Tuesday and it was her birthday and I forgot to post it! Well, happy belated ELEVENTH birthday, Naia! I would have pegged you at two or three, both from looks and from demeanor. You look young in every possible way, and color me envious!

Man, I really have got to remember to add reminders to post things like this, so I don’t miss an important occasion. My memory is so terrible.

Puppy of the Day: Olive the Golden Retriever German Shepherd Mix

Olive! Four months old in these pictures, and cute as a bug in a whole pile of rugs!

Olive is another pup from late last summer, because I just discovered that the photos I’ve taken since then are too big for me to load onto my laptop. Argh. Going to need to set up some alternative storage…

Olive is BIG for a pup that young. She’s going to be a force to recon with!

She is also an absolute goofus. I love her.

Dog of the Day: Amelio the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

As a postscript to my little rant last night, I went to bed, finally fell asleep at midnight, woke up at 4 AM, picked up a water bottle that I had filled with lemonade to take a drink, fell back asleep, and spilled more than a pint of lemonade in my bed. And my underwear. And the floor. And what would have been my hair if I had any hair. Which, I guess, means that it’s a good thing I didn’t.

I cleaned up as best I could, and moved to the other bed. And woke up, oddly, feeling a lot more positive, an attitude helped by the fact that when I went to look, my reset computer was working perfectly again. I didn’t get a whole lot done today, but at least I feel like I have the option to!

What I am going to get done is to post a picture of Amelio, a 6 year old Pembroke that I ran into late last summer, just before I folded up this laptop and went off on my little adventure. I think his portrait came out pretty much perfect, don’t you?

Oh, to be as happy to see anyone as this dog is to see everyone.
