Ranger’s first birthday wasn’t too long ago, but he’s doomed to eternal ridiculous cuteness on account of his being a miniature Aussie.
Every picture I got of him was in a shadow. Ah well, he’s still adorable even in a shadow.
The ridiculous EARS.
The expression, too.
I don’t know what’s more ridiculous, the two up ears or the one flopped ear.
My god, those eyes are really something. Border collies ain’t got nothing on him.
That’s a hopeful look. I think mom had some treats.
Last week we had ‘Poof the Pomeranian’, and this week we have ‘Fuzz the Pomeranian’. Fuzz is 5, and mellow and happy. And FUZZY.
The guy behind Fuzz is the dad of Walker and Munsen, I believe. Being goofy.
Patented Pom smile.
So I admit it: I fell down on the job and didn’t remember to get this fine kitty’s name. The tag says either ‘Mathews’ or ‘Mathew 5’, so it might be a bible verse or the kitty’s name. Either way, I remember him because he was totally mellow sitting in mom’s lap at a cafe, just hanging out. Most cats aren’t comfortable out of their territory, but he seemed happy as a clam.
Embarrassingly enough, I don’t recall if he was blind or just had his eyes closed a lot of the time.
The world needs more cats who don’t mind being taken to outdoor cafes. It makes it SO much easier for me to get pictures.
They were having a nice, relaxing morning.
Short post today, because I am wiped out! But you still get an awesome dog. Meet Cayleigh Mae! She’s six, and happy as the day is long.
Cayleigh Mae was mellow, happy, friendly, and drooly. Awesome dog!
First: Good Tidus tidings! His doctor says that he is doing well, and should be able to start doing a bit of walking for himself sometime in the next week or so. For an injury that could have paralyzed his back half for life, that’s so great! Hooray, Tidus! Autumn and I got him a ‘get well soon’ squeaky-toy, and he is apparently enjoying it enough to drive his parents to distraction. Yay!
In celebration of this good news, I am posting a celebratory 3-month-old corgi puppy, whose name I didn’t catch because I was too busy squealing like an elementary school girl.
I was walking home from work, and I stopped and did a double take: it was a TEENY CORGI in a BAG!
The paw.
The lips!
Okay now that’s just too much.
Mika! She’s 8 months old, and oh my god she is the best subject ever. I took so many pictures of her, and it was so hard to choose!
* Gratuitous hovertext reference note: Aniseed (aka anice) has a similar effect on some dogs as catnip does on cats, though it tends to be less pronounced.
For goofy expressions, huskies really give golden retrievers a run for their money.
Look at those eyes.
The racing stripe is also pretty neat.
Keeping an eye on me.
Yes, it’s a nose shot, without the nose. It totally looks like I could land a plane on her snout.
Husky goof. There’s nothing like it.
Ran into these two out at Ocean Beach. Don’t see a lot of Dober-men (and Dober-women?) around San Francisco, but they’re a lot of fun when I do run into them.
Quince (male, 5) is on the left. That puts Penne (female, 7) on the right.
They weren’t terribly happy to be on leash. I think they wanted to do some running.
They were definitely enjoying the beach, though.
Penne was quite gregarious.
Someone just wants a little love.
The patented puppy head tilt.
Ran into this pup down on Polk Street, but if I remember right (I’m doing this from memory, not from notes), he and his mom were actually visiting from Florida. And mom was a vet, so you know he’s well-treated. He’s barely more than a puppy, about 1.5 years old.
Edit: Oops! I just heard from his mom, below… the woman in the picture was indeed a vet from Florida, but Tito is from San Francisco. Which means I might just be lucky enough to run into him again. Yay!
Edit x2: Boy I suck. The woman in the picture is Tito’s mom. The vet from Florida is present, but not actually in any pictures. And Tito is still adorable.
German shepherd and border collie. I bet he’s smart as a whip. And fast.
So serious.
He did a fair bit of clowning around at the table too.
I ran into this kitty while I was wandering around not far from the SF Zoo.
This is actually a friendly, or at least non-hostile, face. It says, ‘I am confident enough that you’re not a threat that I am willing to close my eyes.’
