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…
Feeling quite miserable. Ugh. Hope whatever this is, it’s over soon.
But I had to post a New Year’s Dog, even if it’s a low-effort one. Doesn’t she look happy?
White feets! Too big for a Nova Scotia duck-tolling retriever.
I’ve been way flaky the last few days: sorry about that. (Relatively minor) health issues.
By way of apology, here is a Pomeranian puppy.
Still at that poofly stage. All Poms look like puppies, but this one really was.
Cuteness.
Someone got a treat for being good.
Little puppy tongue!
The ‘between-holidays’ time is a good time for sleeping off all that holiday ham and watching other people do energetic things. Some people like watching football: I like watching wrestling puppies.
Polite introductions, dog-style.
Not sure how old the pit mix is, but I bet quite young.
That expression.
Almost looks like Greek wrestling. Someone got pinned!
Not sure they quite knew how they got into this position.
Spotty nose!
