These two look like polar opposites, but they were having a grand old time together. Largely because the corgi had the ball, and the ridgeback didn’t care about it.
Also, extra special bonus chocolate goldendoodle!
Look at that teddy bear.
Definitely polar opposites. Super-long-legs scrawny vs sausage with little bitty legs.
Patented corgi grin.
Someone else has a pretty good grin too.
Okay, that grin is almost big enough to be disturbing.
I said we’d be seeing a little more of this guy, and here he is. I think the salt-and-pepper coloration on the schnauzer is one of the prettiest dog coats I’ve ever seen. But then, I have a weakness for eyebrows.
Pretty good assortment in the background: husky, ridgeback, English cocker spaniel (I think?), and a Chihuahua.
There are the eyebrows. Also, that perfect little fold in the ears is pretty cute too.
I’ve just ordered a passel of Dogs of San Francisco 2014 calendars! They’ll be going on sale when they come in, which should be in a week or so. They are maximally adorable and minimally expensive. And they have this gorgeous fellow on the front. Who could possibly resist?
Congratulations to our Chief Calen-dog!
Another kitty from my rambles in Oakland.
Cat noses fascinate me. They come in so many different colors.
One day, a really nice vet came along and fastened a magic cone of happy to this dog’s neck, and said, “You will magically get treats and everyone will be your friend while you have this cone on.” And the dog said “Yaaaay!”
(And yes, he knew that he magically got treats already, and everyone was his friend already. But he didn’t care. Because why would he?)
Oh man, he was REALLY happy.
You’ll be seeing more of the gorgeous schnauzer on the left soon.
Aw, pretty cute westie there, too.
Porter is awesome! I was like, “Oh wow, he’s so cute,” and he was like “I’m going to give you all the smooches and rest my head on your knee while you scratch my ears!” And I asked what breed mix he was, and it turns out nobody knows because he’s an 8-month-old Taiwanese street dog rescue who just absolutely adores everyone. Dad sure lucked out with this one.
Who could possibly resist those eyes? And of course the bandana, which automatically makes a dog 15% more awesome.
Those ears.
A little blurry, but this pretty much tells you all you need to know about Porter’s attitude towards people.
Rosie is a mellow old gal, age 14 years. But she still has some surprises left in her!
Such a pretty cross.
Aww… puppydog eyes.
I wish my next three shots after this weren’t so blurry, because I SWEAR she’s grinning in them.
This is (probably) only our second Glen of Imaal terrier ever! Stanley is a recent arrival (along with his dad) from the East Coast. He’s definitely a Glen of Imaal — pedigree and everything. I told his dad he should totally line up a blind date with Whiskey. They could splash in mud puddles and violently attack streams of water together. It would be awesome!
His dad said he was a real challenge to take pictures of. And indeed he was. (Yes, sharply slanted street.)
I got lots and lots of pictures of his right ear, though.
This is as close as I got to a good full-face shot.
Ran into this fine demoiselle outside of the famous Crossroads Cafe, being quite patient.
Please excuse the somewhat inconsistent posting schedule and short-ish posts… I’ve been trying to fight off a cold, and things have been a little busy.
One of the dog breeds that almost always looks happy, and in this case probably because they almost always ARE.
Spotty puppy belly!
Ran into this somewhat derpy specimen in a shop window last night, in Berkeley.
That looks like a pretty expensive book…
