Bumper (3) is also known as ‘Bumpy’ and ‘Bumps’, although she does not have more bumps than the average dog. Exactly why this is is a mystery unknown to science.
She’s well-shorn, that’s for sure. And a good thing, too… bet it gets hot under there when they’re not!
I’m not sure why, but I really like this picture.
She is one of the few dogs who managed to get a good lick at my lens before I could back away.
This little guy spent a lot of time in the window at a business just down the street from my office. They moved out, unfortunately, so I haven’t seen him in ages. It’s a shame, he was a real cutie.
Funny, I never saw him basking in the sun, just when it was shady in there.
I love that tightly curled tail.
No, he didn’t actually take off his shirt… this is from a couple days later. Same spot, though.
He’s kind of got that ‘mullet’ thing going on… long on the bottom and short on top.
Jake was 2 when this was taken… which was some time ago. He’s 3 by this time.
Dachshunds have the sweetest faces.
Close-up of that ear. Pretty!
I need a photo category: ‘dogs sticking their tongues out at me.’ Bet I’d have in the hundreds of pictures in it.
Either way, I’d say she’s pretty great.
I haven’t gotten to play with a Greater Swiss. Anyone know if they’re as goofy and fun as Berners (closely related) are?
Look at that bashful smile. Just makes me want to hug her.
So I was thinking of making this week Australian shepherd week, and then I ran across this puppy, and could not resist posting her today. So maybe Australian shepherd week is next week.
Look at those ears.
Apparently giving water bottles to teething puppies for chewing is a thing.
She sure seemed to like it.
The ears are always standing up, but they seem to lean against one another more or less at random.
So. Cute.
Autumn and I ran into Mogul in company of his dad, who insisted that he was actually a giant American Eskimo dog. I wasn’t going to argue with him, but I have never even heard of an Eskie as big as Mogul. Still, stranger things have happened.
A tiny little park, not much bigger than my apartment (and that’s TINY!) in Bernal Heights.
Someone sure has a great smile, whatever he is.
Sorry, no caturday today: I’ve been pressed into service as Autumn’s cab service, and probably won’t be able to post from my computer until at least 1 or 2 AM Sunday, when I get home. And by then I won’t be in any mood for posting.
Fortunately, I have a couple cute pictures on my phone that I can post. Though I didn’t get this adorable pup’s name.
Okay, first off, take a look at these pictures of Milo. And then I want you to go to this page and check out the picture of the red panda. And then come back and look again at the last picture of Milo.
Now tell me that Milo doesn’t look like a red panda that got a quick hair dye job at one of our local pet grooming establishments. Go on. Tell me. I dare you.
Milo’s 7, and showing no signs of slowing down.
Milo can strut with the best of them.
See? I swear that is totally a red panda face and expression.
Eve was sitting outside a grocery store down in the Bernal Heights neighborhood when Autumn and I were down there. What a gorgeous combination of breeds.
Eve is a dog of great fluffiness.
Soulful.
A teddy bear for you today.
Sorry if I’ve been a little lax. I’m trying to get some important stuff done in the evenings, and that in combination with some sleep issues has been really cutting into my blogging time. Hopefully both the important stuff and the sleep issues won’t last too much longer.
Wherever Pomerania is, I want to visit it someday. I like to imagine that the people there are just as happy as the dogs.
