The Dogs of San Francisco

Dog of the Day: Pomeranian

Posted on September 23, 2014 by Adam Lang

Feeling a bit under the weather, so I need something super-fluffy to cuddle up to. I think this pup fits the bill.

Quite a tail.

Dog of the Day: Pip Squeak the Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Adam Lang

She’s well-named: she was just a little bitty Pip, at 14 weeks of age, and I sure let out a squeak when I saw her. As did every other person to walk by.

I swear, this dog stopped traffic.

Dainty little sniff.

Golden Retriever Begging For A Belly Rub

Slightly less modest. But very effective. Especially the begging paws.

Definitely not shy.

That expression cracks me up every time I look at it.

Abandoned. How could she?

Pause for vigorous scratching.

Sunday Switchup: Seal Ions

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Adam Lang

Some of our local pack. (Or would it be ‘pride’?)

I really wonder what these guys are saying when they’re ‘yelling’ like this.

Whatever it is, it’s very contentious.

A lot of them have lots of scars. It’s a tough place under the sea, sometimes, I guess.

More SPCA pictures. So cute!

Is the one in front smiling, or is it just me?

Dog of the Day: Chaopi the Chow

Posted on September 18, 2014 by Adam Lang

Chaopi is nearly sixteen years old! And is awesome. I’ve run into him a few times, including a couple of days ago, and he’s still having a blast.

I hope I’m half as happy when I’m that old, relatively speaking. (I know I won’t be one tenth as fluffy, alas.)

That is a smile, right there. His habitual expression.

He still loves to romp around in the freshly-cut grass, too.

Dog of the Day: Saya the Pooped Double Doodle Puppy

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Adam Lang

A double doodle for your daily delectation! Apparently that’s what you get when you breed a Labradoodle and a goldendoodle. Who knew?

What you also get, in this case, is a 4.5 month old totally pooped puppy who is rather bigger than initial estimates led her owner to believe.

She is not going to be able to do that for much longer.

Not the happiest puppy expression. I think she’d rather have just lay down and taken a two hour nap right there.

Dog of the Day: Lola the German Shepherd Mix Puppy

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Adam Lang

I don’t know how I sat on Lola’s pictures for this long (a month and a half) without posting them. I think you’ll agree that she is one of the most photogenic dogs I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet. And all this at only seven months!
