Dog of the Day: Siberian Husky

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Adam Lang

Lanky! Possibly adolescent. (Another One-Dog-in-a-Million-Dog-March).

Silver Siberian Husky

Whether or not he was young, he sure had a lot of energy.

I just love the manic grin.

Okay, maybe a little disturbing. Are those not the most perfect vampire teeth ever?

Dog of the Day: Harlequin Great Dane

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Adam Lang

All right, too many puppies in a row. (NEVER!) So have someone from the other end of the spectrum. This gal was definitely in the 150-lb-and-up range. I like her a lot, not least because she was obviously enjoying the march as much as I was: in every single picture I got of her, she was whipping her head around and looking at all the other dogs, like she just couldn’t believe how many there were all over the place.

I think it’s fair to say what she was doing was about half walk and half ‘gallumph’.

A perfect shot of one of the MDM bandanas. Plus… just a leeeettle bit of drool.

MDM-of-the-Day: Chase the Adorable Little Mutt

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Adam Lang

(MDM = Million Dog Marcher, of course!)

I saw Chase just about first thing when I got to the march, and I didn’t even have my camera out at the time. Snapped a couple quick photos with my phone, and then promptly forgot his name. And then, while I was poking through the facebook photos from the MDM, I thought I saw someone who looked a little familiar…

There was a line of people waiting for a chance to pet Chase. And no wonder.

Dog of the Million Dog March: 4-Month-Old Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on June 2, 2013 by Adam Lang

I went to the Million Dog March today, and it was pretty awesome! I’m not convinced it was much bigger than Bay to Barkers, but it was a whole lot of dogs, and the vast majority of them were awesome. (Those that weren’t awesome? Were super-aweseome.)

Going to be posting dogs from there periodically over the next few weeks, but I thought I’d start you off on a high note, with a four-month-old golden retriever puppy. So cute!

Four-Month-Old Golden Retriever Puppy

I think this may have been this pup’s first big doggie-event. He was having a BLAST.

Four-Month-Old Golden Retriever Puppy

He was going around LOOKING at everyone. You could tell who was human and who wasn’t: the ones who didn’t instantly melt weren’t human.

See? How could you not melt?

Caturday Supplement: Snoozing Macy’s Kitten

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Adam Lang

Methinks someone overdid it a little bit last night on the egg nog.

Reminder: the MILLION DOG MARCH is tomorrow! Come be part of the biggest dog walk in the history of humanity! How could you say no to that?

Grey Tabby Cat

I haven’t gotten to pet a cat in some time. I will have to see if I can rectify this omission.

Dog of the Day: Bear the Eurasier

Posted on May 31, 2013 by Adam Lang

We may have had a Eurasier before, but that was a rescue, who might also just have been a rescue who looked an awful lot like one. Bear is definitely a 9-month-old Eurasier. They are a gorgeous breed. I knew that I was going to have trouble taking pictures (it was quite dark outside) but I just had to try, because he was so pretty.

Apparently Eurasiers were bred from chow, wolfspitz, and samoyed. I would have guessed there was keeshond in there somewhere. (Aannnd... I just found out that wolfspitz is an old name for a earlier version of the keeshond. So yup!)

Dog of the Day: English Mastiff

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Adam Lang

Oh lordy. This fine fellow was tied to the next parking meter over from yesterday’s pup, but the two were ignoring one another. I was definitely unable to ignore either of them, but I must admit, this guy got the lion’s share of the attention.

I assure you, however big he looks in the pictures, he looks even bigger in person.

English Mastiff, Fawn with Black Mask

You could tell the dog people from the non-dog-people. The latter were walking around him as far away as possible; the former were walking right up to him with an awed expression on their faces.

You can guess which group I fall into.

Dog of the Day: I Have No Idea

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Adam Lang

Husky mix, maybe? I’ll see if I can get Autumn to weigh in on this one. He was quite friendly, but very loud.

He kind of has a little bit of the ‘Mad-Eye Mooney’ thing going on, doesn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Cade the Malamute/Husky Puppy

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Adam Lang

Cade was out skateboarding with his dad (well, dad was on the skateboard and Cade was running alongside, and occasionally pulling him) while I was taking a break from my weekend dogsitting duties. And oh my god I had to stop and say hello because this 5-month-old ball of ridiculous cuteness was just utterly irresistible.

As I was walking away, Cade reached over with one paw and gave dad’s skateboard a shove and it sailed off towards me. And then he sat back and grinned. I could almost see the thought bubble over his head. ‘FETCH!’

Look at that expression. You can tell living with him would be a one surprise after another.

Those ears.

Awww… and that’s the face that would make me forgive just about any ‘surprise’ he could cook up.

Goofy husky grin. Okay, I’m sold, where do I pick up mine?

Double Dog Day: Jemma and a Pit Bull

Posted on May 27, 2013 by Adam Lang

This dog-sitting thing is hard work. Especially when you’re dog-sitting two gigantic snorgly goofhounds, one of whom just wants to stay home and sleep and occasionally have her butt scratched, and the other of whom wants to run and play and eat everything not nailed down and some things that are.

I’m ready for a vacation from this vacation!

Took Jemma to the dog park. She didn’t want to stay for too long, but she did get in some solid playtime with this pit bull puppy.

Jemma proved a couple times that she could fit most of his head in her mouth.
