Dog of the Day: Nico the Repeat Customer Great Dane

Nico! Nico is a Great Dane! Nico is 11! Wow! I ran into Nico before, but in that instance I did not discover that Nico has convertible ears. I do not think I’ve ever seen a Dane that can get his ears up this far. Silly Nico!

I am so happy to see old big dogs still climbing the hills of San Francisco. Gives me hope for, well, me!

Dog of the Day: Chikoo the Cockapoo

Koo Chikoo? Chikoo is three, but definitely has that puppy energy.

Not sure why he was ‘up’… he definitely wasn’t tired, and he certainly wasn’t shy.

Sunday Switchup: Barny McScreecherson

Autumn sent me one more bird from Ireland: this is a barn owl, which is known in the Irish language as a “Scréachóg reilige”, or “graveyard screecher”. I dunno, I think “barn owl” seems a little more… dignified, somehow.

Honestly Autumn looks more like a graveyard screecher in this picture. (Kidding kidding don’t hit me!) 😀

Puppy of the Day: Murphy the Golden Retriever

Do you love Murphy (5 months)? If not, this suggests that you have not met her yet. You should rectify this as soon as possible.

Ollie is two, and a remarkably dapper gentleman!

I am not sure I have ever seen a dog who needs a bow tie more than Ollie.

Somehow he just … went flat all of a sudden?

Dog of the Day: Pringles the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

All the best corgis fall into one of two groups: those that are named after food, and, well, those that aren’t since all corgis are the best corgis. But Pringles (8, a girl) obviously falls into group one.

Pringles also falls into a much more exclusive class of corgis: those with one and a quarter blue eyes.

Sunday Switchup: Peeglette!

I went out for a little walk today, and stumbled upon a street fair. And in that street fair, there were… Hamlets!

Caturday Supplement: Marmie

I rambled around San Francisco today: went to drop off some old sneakers at a place that recycles them into playground equipment, then off to the farmer’s market, then brunch, the drug store, and back home. And I ran into several dogs, as usual. But not as usual, I ran into TWO CATS. What a perfect Caturday!

I have no idea what that kid is holding. I didn’t even notice him when I was taking the picture.
