Caturday Supplement: Prisoner #6

I was supposed to go to the Internet Cat Video Festival in Oakland today, and bring you guys some pictures, but it didn’t end up working out that way. So instead, I bring you an adorable kitty prisoner from a couple months ago, since adopted.

Okay, a little derpy, but still adorable.

Dog of the Day: Sheba the Smooth Fox Terrier

Sheba is 11. Help me out here: does anyone else think smooth fox terriers look… I don’t know… weird? I mean, they’re cute, and all the ones I’ve run into have been sweethearts, but for some reason their proportions seem unusual to me.

Mostly White Tricolor Smooth Fox Terrier

Ran into this pup at one of Autumn’s band’s gigs, right around St. Patrick’s Day.

I think I was imposing on him a bit, until I asked about his dog. And then his pride took over and he was happy to introduce us.

She has a very intelligent expression, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Patient Labrador Retriever

Someone was keeping an eye on mom’s stuff while she stepped into a store.

In other news: yup. Lots of medical stuff today. Just got home around 8:30 PM. Oh well, at least I don’t have anything else like that planned anytime soon.

It’s quite a piece of luggage, don’t you think?

I feel like this dog right about now. It’s been a LONG day.

Tired and perhaps slightly confused. Yup, that’s me.

Dog of the Day: Magnificent Goldendoodle

I got the name of this pup, and then accidentally deleted it. And I can’t remember if she was a goldendoodle or a labradoodle. But isn’t she gorgeous?

Got some medical tests tomorrow afternoon. Nothing too serious, but it does mean, hah, that I have to fast until 2 PM. No breakfast, no lunch. That’s going to be fun.

Huge White Goldendoodle

Took this one up in Novato. Didn’t realize that was a hotbed of awesome dogitude.

Dog of the Day: Darwin the Corgi Puppy

Darwin! He’s six months old. He looks a little bit intimidating, but don’t let the scary eye makeup bias you: he’s a sweetheart.

He’s not a goth, I promise. The black eye shadow is natural!

Puppy tongue.

Dog of the Day: Rupert the Basset Hound (With Bonus Terrier Puppy)

♫ Ruuuuuuupert! He’s king of the loooooong dogs! ♩

Tricolor Basset Hound

I don’t know what’s goofier: the blanket-sized ears or the ridiculous paws.

Smiling Tricolor Basset Hound

There’s a smile. And of course a blurry tail.

That’s Autumn, of course. Petting both the anonymous puppy and Rupert. It’s a tough life.

Dog of the Day: Pancakes the Corgi/Golden Retriever Repeat Customer (With Bonus Dachsund in a Dress)

Pancakes! When last we saw him, he was just barely a year old. Now he’s two! And would you look at that… he has pretty much the same interests he did last year. In fact, the same pose.

The Chihuahua was tearing around, running circles around three other dogs, and just generally having a grand old time.

Fwip! The ears are convertible!

Not sure I’ve ever seen a Chihuahua in a jumper before.

Caturday Supplement: Update on Adopted Macy’s Kitty

I said I’d post an update, and here one is. She is almost all grown up now, and still totally adorable.

…and, as the sun shines through her ear… (Not something you get to hear every day.)

Dog of the Day: Kinsey the Miniature Pinscher Puppy

No comment on the name, but I love the ears. Kinsey (a girl) is 4 months old, and let me tell you what, when it starts getting warm in the city (hey, it gets above 80 sometimes!) I would love to have ears like that. They act like giant radiators.

I bet she’s a handful in more ways than one.

Lumen (aka Lulu) the German Pudelpointer

Wow, a new breed! Haven’t had one of those for a while. Apparently the ‘pudelpointer’ was bred in the late 1800s from poodles and pointers (mostly English pointers) by Baron von Zedlitz, which sounds like an evil mad genius name so I’m glad he contented himself with breeding awesome dogs.

Also, if there’s anyone out there poking around my blog whose dog I’ve taken a picture of but not posted, leave your dog’s name in the comments and I’ll post him or her soon. I don’t keep people waiting when I know they’re actually coming by.

Brown German Pudelpointer

Autumn and I were shopping for shoes at REI when I was distracted by Lulu.

I am so predictable.
