Dog of the Day: EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Adam Lang

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.

Dog of the Day: Mika the Husky

Posted on April 23, 2014 by Adam Lang

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.

Agouti and White Siberian Husky

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.

Double Dog Day: Quince and Penne the Doberman Pinschers

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Adam Lang

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.

Black and Rust Doberman and Red and Rust Doberman

Quince (male, 5) is on the left. That puts Penne (female, 7) on the right.

Black and Rust Doberman and Red and Rust Doberman

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.

Dog of the Day: Tito the Black German Shepherd/Border Collie

Posted on April 20, 2014 by Adam Lang

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.

Caturday Supplement: Tortie

Posted on April 19, 2014 by Adam Lang

I ran into this kitty while I was wandering around not far from the SF Zoo.

Tortoiseshell Cat

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.’

Dog of the Day: Pit Bull Mix

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Adam Lang

Someone was looking all innocent and then ambushing passers-by.

Tan Pit Bull mix

Someone got tied to a pipe! The SF health code in such a harsh mistress.

Fortunately, there was a street fair nearby, so this fella got attention from dozens of people.

He got all up in my bidness.

Dog of the Day: Poof the Pomeranian

Posted on April 17, 2014 by Adam Lang

No, that’s not an instruction, it’s a name. Meet Poof, who turned four years old on St. Patrick’s Day.

Poof was tearing around at high speed, and it wasn’t very bright outside, so mom scooped her up so she wouldn’t just be a blur.

I’m not sure what the paw holding was really about, but Poof sure seemed to like it.

Pomeranian Face

They really do look like teddy bears.

Dog of the Day: Tillie the Irish Music Critic

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Adam Lang

Quick post from the road today. Spent the evening at a nice concert, at the home of Tillie the dog. She still has good taste in music… here she is appreciating it from the front row.

And here she is hanging out during intermission.

Doesn’t she have great eyebrows?
