A Very Delicate Balance

Posted on January 5, 2014 by Adam Lang

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.

Nothing Says ‘Happy New Year!’…

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Adam Lang

…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…

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

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Adam Lang

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.

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

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 25, 2013 by Adam Lang

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.

Small Fluffy Goldendoodle Puppy

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

Posted on December 23, 2013 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on December 22, 2013 by Adam Lang

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.

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

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Adam Lang

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.
