New Year’s Dog: I Dunno But She’s Cute!

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?

Unknown Breed Dog, Grinning

White feets! Too big for a Nova Scotia duck-tolling retriever.

Dog of the Day: Pomeranian Puppy

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!

Double Dog Day: English Bulldog Puppy with Pit Bull Terrier Mix

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!

Dog of Christmas Day: Sydney the Goldendoodle Puppy

I was traveling yesterday… starting at 7 AM, and ending at… 10 AM this morning. (It was supposed to end a leeeettle bit earlier than that, but it turns out that both planes AND trains don’t respond well to sub-zero temperatures.) And in all that time, I had approximately 20 minutes of WiFi. Blah.

But… Sydney. I ran into Sydney on the way home, a couple of months ago. It was too dark to get good pictures but I was forced to spend a good five minutes trying anyway, because how could I not? And it turns out Sydney has a tumblr. You should go look at it. It’s okay… I’ll wait. This is important.

Okay… back now? I warn you, the pictures are a little bit blurry, but they’re still worth it. I think you’ll agree, Sydney makes a wonderful Christmas Dog.

Sydney is a good deal bigger now, I’m sure. But just as adorable.

In these pictures, Sydney is 12 weeks old.

Sorry, for the blur, but I think the picture was worth it.

Dog of the Day: Australian Cattle Dog Mix

The tail and the shape make me vaguely think ACD, but I’m not sure. He almost looks like a Catahoula mix too, only maybe not quite.

Blue Merle Australian Cattle Dog Mix

As I recall, he’s an older gentleman… in the 10 to 12 year old range.

Whatever breed he is, that’s one gorgeous coat he’s got.

Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

I know I promised the second half of my guide dog report, but I’m trying very hard to force myself to clean my apartment, and that’s going to take some time. Maybe I’ll post it on Christmas.

In the mean time, here’s a cute but shy puppy for y’all.

Those ears.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window-Kitten

Thank goodness for Macy’s window-kitties!

I keep telling myself, ‘you HAVE to come back here with a laser pointer’. But I always forget!

Is that a smile?

Dog of the Day: Chihuahua

Ugghhh, it has been a long day, and I really don’t feel like doing anything but throwing myself straight into bed. But I skipped yesterday already, so I’m going to give you a quick drive-by Chihuahua-ing. It’s been a while since I posted one of these guys anyway.

Tricolor Chihuahua

I know I rag on Chihuahuas sometimes, but I gotta say, ankle smooches are nothing to sneeze at.

Dog of the Day: Xavi the German Shepherd/Pit Bull Mix

Xavi was such a goofy dog. He spent the entire time I was there (and that was more than five minutes) alternately growling and barking at me, and licking me and trying to get me to pet him. He was clearly quite conflicted, and I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help him come to any final conclusions.

German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix

I think part of the problem may have been the fact that that right there was His Stick.

German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix

That’s actually a pretty intimidating expression right there.

German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix

Turned into a nose shot, and then a few smooches.

German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix

I absolutely love that fur coloration. Anyone know what that’s called?

German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix

He did a lot of dancing around, wanting to chase or be chased.

Bark bark bark. Ah well, we’re all a little bipolar sometimes.

Dog of the Day: OMG Guess!

Okay… look carefully at this dog. See if you can remember a dog that I posted some time ago that this might be a repost of. And if you think you know it (or even if you don’t!) click here.

Incidentally, I said yesterday I might be taking a few days off posting. I’m obviously not taking today off. But I’ve run into some bizarre health issues, which while currently not serious are incredibly annoying, and thus far I have no idea whether I am going to get better, worse, or stay the same. Please excuse any deviations from the schedule.

Oh! And while I’m talking about something other than today’s dog: if you have been waiting for me to post your dog, and haven’t seen it yet, please let me know! I just heard from someone a week or two ago saying ‘oh, you finally posted my dog, I was watching the site every day for two months!’ While I have no objection to people looking at my site every day, I feel like that sort of dedication should be rewarded a little faster than that. So let me know if I took some pictures you want me to post, and I will do my best to oblige.

And now, on to the mystery dog!

Eurasier Dog, Mixed Breed, and Pug

The one I mean is the one on the left. The one with ALL the fluff.
