Ugh, I am going to run out of cats really early this year. Come on, people, some of you must live in San Francisco and have cats. Who will volunteer to let me take some adorable kitty photos?
I wanted to go take a bunch of pictures between January 2nd and the 5th, when is when they tore things down, but I ended up postponing my flight and got back at midnight on the 4th. Dammit.
And yeah, on the 5th I was definitely not feeling up to trekking across town.
Kitty-tongue! So cute.
Not sure what this guy is. I think it may be a bit unfair, because he may just have been shaved when I took this picture (last June). Whatever he was, though, I do remember him, because he was really cute and, alas, quite uninterested in making friends.
Looking away from me, tail tucked down… yup, someone’s a bit intimidated.
And there’s a bit of the ‘hairy eyeball’.
Well, there’s a mix you don’t see every day. Which is too bad, because Jax is awesome.
(Also: Alert! This is the emergency dog-cast system! There is a missing white female boxer, last seen in the area of Golden Gate Park/Sunset Reservoir on Jan 15. She is liable to be quite frightened. If anyone runs across her, call 650 318 8998. More info here. This has been an alert from the emergency dog-cast system. Good night.)
Yes, he is every bit as friendly as that expression makes him look.
The kind of dog you want if you get stuck in a polar vortex!
Quite a mix. And a super-sweet puppy, too.
I swear, no ones ankles were safe from smooches with this one around.
I can’t tell whether her tail is curled like that all the time, or just in this picture.
If that face doesn’t melt your heart, you need more help than I can give you.
I wonder how big she is now, seven months later?
Not at all sure about this glorious beast, either the breeds or the gender. But I’m going to guess it’s a girl, and she definitely has some German shepherd traits and some Australian shepherd ones as well, so… close enough.
You can’t really tell from these pictures, but this is a one-ear-up pup.
Amazing coloration. I’ve never seen a merle that had patches of red merle AND of blue merle, but wasn’t a brindle merle. How does that even work? What is this dog? I am fascinated!
This guy was very, very happy to be camped out in front of a raw pet food stall. Something about the several samples he received, perhaps?
I’m doing… fine. Just have to keep reminding myself that this is eventually going to be over with and I will be none the worse for wear, and that there are ten thousand things that could have happened to me instead that would not have left me so lucky. (Plus, hey, I got a copy of my CAT scan. Anyone else ever seen one of those things? They’re ridiculously cool. I must have spent an hour and a half poking around at it. “Ooh: that’s my SPLEEN!”)
I don’t understand quite why, but ‘bulldog happy’ seems happier than just about any other kind of happy.
This kitty spent lots of time staring off dreamily into space, perhaps daydreaming of a Christmas full of petting and catnip mousies. I think he got one, too, because he was adopted around the 4th of December.
The gold eyes are gorgeous.
This guy looks like I have been feeling. Turns out I have a really… interesting reaction to strong pain medication, which lasts for a week or so after I take it. And of course when you have kidney stones, you do tend to take it. Expect more erratic posting. I’m going on short-term disability leave, though, so maybe I’ll have more time for dog posts.
Someone was plumb wiped out!
Look at that sweet face. Somebody needs a smooch on the nose!
Trying to walk a fine line between ‘falling asleep all the time and feeling dizzy when I’m awake’ and ‘OMG PAIN’. Right now I’d like some of the pain back, please, because this level of sedation is an uncomfortable one.
…like hearing the words ‘4 mm cube’, ‘kidney stone’, and ‘two weeks to pass’ all in the same sentence.
DoSF will be very very intermittent…
