Mariachiuaua! Saw this pup in a shop window, singing the blues.

I hope he wasn’t being too loud in there.

Dog of the Day: Auggie (Ben Doggie?) the Birthday Boy Havanese

Posted on November 3, 2025 by Adam Lang

Whuf! Today was a LOT. On Saturday I broke a crown (that’s a tooth thing that you will find out about soon enough, for you young’ns). Today I managed to finagle my dentist into seeing me at ridiculously short notice and got to her office at 12 for a 12:30 appointment. I was in the chair by 12:15… and at 12:40 a woman who was nine months pregnant with a potentially life-threatening abscess showed up.

I was in that chair until 5:15. I won’t say it was the longest day of my life, because honestly not even close. It wasn’t even my worst vacation day. But it wasn’t something I’d prefer to repeat regularly.

And then! On my way home! I ran across this adorable little fuzzball. Meet Auggie, the one year old Havanese. Well, technically he was one yesterday, but since I didn’t even know he existed until today, I think we can be excused from celebrating his birthday one day late.

By the way, we have had one Auggie (here), two Augies (here and here), and one Oggie (here), so Auggie here is in good company!

Sorry if the pictures are a touch blurry. By the time I got out of that dentist it was already getting dark. (Happy daylight savings, everyone!)

Also it’s really hard to get non-blurry pictures when the dog is as hyper and squirmy as Auggie.

Sunday Switchup: Halloweeny Neighborhood

Posted on November 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

Few pictures of Halloween decorations from my wanders through the, ah, more ridiculously affluent neighborhoods of San Francisco.

I will note that some of the most… thorough of these were being set up as I came by, by a professional party company. Which seems an awful lot like cheating.

Gotta admit, the first one is a favorite.

MANY Dog Day: Howl-O-Weeners!

Posted on October 31, 2025 by Adam Lang

I stopped by a local Howl-O-Ween celebration last weekend. All (almost all?) of the costumes were store bought, but some of them were still pretty funny! Sorry, too many pics to caption or hovertext today! Also, I am trying something new: this is a LOT of pictures, so I’m trying an image gallery instead of individual pictures. Let’s see what happens!

Edit: Hmm. Not sure if I like it. I’ve also added a slide-show below, if you want to see the pictures closer-up!

Posted on October 29, 2025 by Adam Lang

River, also known as River The Cinnamon Pomsky on Instagram, is a max-dorbs 4 year old pupper with a whole lotta spunk!

She lost an eye, and now it looks like she is ALWAYS giving the world a saucy wink.

She looks totally chill here. She is not. She is manic. But super fun!

Puppy of the Day: Petey the Pekingese

Posted on October 28, 2025 by Adam Lang

That’s a lot of Ps: Petey the Pekingese Puppy. Petey is 10 months old, and was adopted from the Love and Second Chances Rescue. Lucky Petey, he got a little of each!

I almost missed him, he barely had his head out until I said hello.

Definitely got the ‘I AM SOOOO NEGLECTED’ look down pat.

Sunday Switchup: Rainbow Scarymarket

Posted on October 26, 2025 by Adam Lang

There’s a local coop in San Francisco called Rainbow Grocery. Neat place, great food, vegetarian but thank goodness not vegan. (GREAT cheese selection!)

They’re also a bunch of smartasses who like hiding things for people to find around Halloween.

I especially like the last one: skullcap vs. skulldecap.

Caturday Supplement: Catart!

Posted on October 25, 2025 by Adam Lang

Ran across these in a shop window earlier this week. Unlike some cats, these two were willing to hold still for long enough for me to get a shot.

ADOPTABLE Puppy of the Day: Moonshine the German Shepherd Hound Mix

Posted on October 22, 2025 by Adam Lang

In the fine and friendly San Francisco neighborhood of Noe Valley there is a glorious little chocolate shop. Whenever I get down to the area, I always drop by and spend slightly too much money, because chocolate is one of my major weaknesses. But what I didn’t know was that some of the people there are also involved with Rocket Dog Rescue. So last Tuesday when I went by, I discovered that there were several dogs in attendance.

Including this utterly ridiculous specimen! Meet Moonshine, a 4-month-old female German shepherd hound mix of some description or other. She is very good-natured and somewhat better-behaved than you might expect of a four-month-old, but still with plenty of puppy energy and SO. MUCH. LOVE.

Also ALL the ears. SO MUCH EARS.

Go on. You know you want to adopt Moonshine. Go check out the rescue site!

I feel like she probably can’t run very fast, because those things act like parachutes!

Why am I still working in software when I could be cleaning up after Moonshine? I wouldn’t even mind scrubbing the floor.

The rewards are well worth it!
