Her dad said Opie (6) is a Saluberman… which is to say, a Doberman pinscher saluki cross! I have definitely never seen one of those before, salukis are super rare just on their own.


I got some pictures near the St Patrick’s Day Parade, and also this one (which was actually on St Patrick’s Day, which was a Monday this year) of a very celebratory Lily, 1. She has an instagram! Apparently she runs ATX, a large airport in Austin, Texas, so maybe ask her about that if you see her.
I was out earlier today grabbing some dinner and a new paperback to take my mind off of… gestures incoherently. And I ran into a Frenchie whose folks said she was named Lola, and I thought, ‘Gosh, I feel like I’ve run into a Frenchie named Lola before.’ And I went and looked, and sure enough, it was her… fifteen years ago! Sometimes I wish I could put my dog-remembering superpowers to work on something beneficial to humans, or dogs, or really anybody, but eh, I’d rather have ’em than not!
So yeah, here’s Lola again! And it’s her semi-birthday: her birthday is in exactly six months, so she’s fifteen and a half today! Wish her a happy day with me, would you?
Archie is a crazy 4-month-old golden retriever with a very active imagination. And tongue. I spotted him from a block away, walking away from me, and I was like, ‘oh damn I am never going to catch up’. So I went into a food store. And came out again like ten minutes later, and he was BACK!
