Caturday Supplement: You’ll Never Guess Who I Ran Into in Golden Gate Park

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Adam Lang

Okay, okay, fine, so this is from the San Francisco Zoo, back in 2000.

Two African Tigers

It always boggles my mind how ORANGE they are.

Double Dog Day: Agatha and Dudley the English Bulldog Puppies

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Adam Lang

So I ran into these two last week, and they were as adorable as could be. And I only found out later that my camera was set on ‘shutter priority’ and the shutter speed was way too high for the amount of light, so they ended up two very slightly lighter blobs in the darkness.

Luckily for me, their dad sent me some even adorabler pictures!

Dudley is on the left, and Agatha on the right.

Silly little mustache.

From the wrinkly forehead to the flash of pink paw-pad toes, I like everything about this picture.

Dog of the Day: Bruno the Bulldog

Posted on March 21, 2013 by Adam Lang

Talk about ‘ask and ye shall receive’… another bulldog! Ran across Bruno two days ago.

Bruno’s owner said that Bruno got really excited when he met new people. He sure did… he spent most of the photo session trying his damndest to lick me.

Do all bulldogs have spotty lips? Certainly seems like most of the ones I have seen and posted lately do.

Brindle-and-White English Bulldog

Totally goofy. Looks like he’s trying to inspect his own lower jaw.

Dog of the Day: Daisy the Bulldog Puppy

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Adam Lang

Daisy is a 4-month-old blur. The lighting wasn’t even bad… she was just moving around so much that almost none of my pictures came out.

Bulldogs always look so pugnacious. The only danger from Daisy is having her wear out her tongue on your ankle.

Lucky guy.

Oh god the belly.

Double Dog Day: Tairen and Roxie the English Bulldogs

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Adam Lang

So, I posted my little complaint about not having any bulldog pictures at lunch, and who should I run into upon leaving work but Tairen and Roxie? Man, I should complain about things more often!

Two English Bulldogs, one Brindled and one Brown and White

Tairen (a boy) is the brindle, and Roxie is the one with more white. She’s ten! And fit as a fiddle, and full of energy. For an English bulldog, that is pretty great.

Look at that expression. The sad eyes. The snaggle tooth. The spotty lips.

And then, wham! Suddenly, high-powered HAPPY!

Brindle-and-White English Bulldog

Aw man. How could anyone resist that face.

One doggie grin can brighten my whole day.

Dog of the Day: Shih Tzu

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Adam Lang

I got a couple of sets of pictures of some awesomely adorable bulldog puppies over the last couple weeks, and I decided I would do a bulldog week: a bunch of adults, some puppies, and so forth. And I went through all ten thousand back pictures that I haven’t posted yet… and if there are any bulldogs in there, I wasn’t able to find them. I guess it’s because I find them so ridiculously sad and goofy that I post them right away after I see them. Well, in any case, get ready, because (continuing this trend) we’re going to have some pretty cute bulldog puppies in the next few days.

In the mean time, this shih tzu expects that you will find her every bit as cute as any bulldog.

Grey Shih Tzu

Tied up outside a restaurant. She could obviously smell the food in there, and is an expert at looking hopeful.

There’s a future in show biz for this one… she has the ‘starved and neglected’ dog act down pat.

Dog of the Day: Red-Haired Poodle Mix

Posted on March 17, 2013 by Adam Lang

For St. Paddy’s Day, a startlingly red-haired pup. Anyone who says gingers have no soul needs to gaze into this dog’s eyes.

Red Poodle Mix with Australian Cattle Dog Mix And Other Dogs

One of my favorite dog parks to visit. There are always a whole bunch of dogs having fun.

Plus it’s fun watching them skid around on that soft gravel-y stuff.

Caturday Supplement: The Prisoner of Macy

Posted on March 16, 2013 by Adam Lang

From the little room inside Macy’s that they run the window displays from. If that’s not enough to get you to run down to your local SPCA and adopt someone, there’s no help for ya.

Blue Smoke Tabby Kitten in a Cage

I don’t know which is more enchanting, those luminous grey eyes or that adorable little pink nose.

Triple Dog Day: Opata, Poofy, and Pisika the Poodles

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Adam Lang

A fearsome threesome: Opata (boy) and Poofy (girl) are 8-week-old poodle puppies, and mom is Pisika. They were MURDER to get a good shot of, being so hyperkinetic that several of the shots where I was trying for all three had not a single dog in the frame at all by the time the shutter closed.

Two Apricot-and-White Poodle Puppies

There’s a reason they call dogs this size ‘toy’. They totally look like little stuffed animals. So cute!

Apricot and White Poodle Puppy

From what I recall, this one was definitely hiding from me.

Hee. I love the little face poking out from under mom.

All three of them were playing like puppies.

Dog of the Day: Louie the Border Collie Mix

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Adam Lang

Louie (9 years old) is a mellow, cheerful sort.

Black Border Collie Mix with Short Legs and a White Chest

Hmm. Dachshund/border collie, maybe?

Those are pretty much what I think of when I think of dog eyes: brown and soulful.
