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!

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?

Black Border Collie Mix with Short Legs, a White Chest, and Brown Eyes

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

Dog of the Day: Pancakes the Golden Retriever/Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Adam Lang

We haven’t had a corgi/golden mix since our last round of Holly pictures.

Gold and White Golden Retriever/Pembroke Welsh Corgi Mix with Half-Up Ears

I knew just what we had here when I saw the half-up ears, the stubby legs, and the golden fur.

Dog ear genetics baffle me.

Golden Retriever/Corgi Mix Fetching a Ball in Front of AT&T Park/Giants' Stadium

Kind of a neat place to play fetch.

Happy face, and waggy tail-blur.

Dog of the Day: Ruby the Sad-Faced German Shepherd

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Adam Lang

I’m pretty sure Ruby has nothing to be sad about: she’s healthy, has a loving family who she’s been with for ages, and has the most ridiculously adorable ears in the history of ridiculously adorable ears.

German Shepherd with One Floppy Ear And Some Unusual Black/Grey/Blue Markings (Merle?)

Is that blue merle coloration? On a German shepherd? How strange… other than that, she totally looked like a 100% purebred GSD.

Aw man, it must be murder eating dinner with that face looking at you. “Are you SURE I can’t have some of your steak?”

Dog of the Day: Small Münsterländer

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Adam Lang

Autumn and I were walking along, and Autumn said, ‘Hey, that looks like a Small Münsterländer!’ And lo, it was.

It’s not often I get to trot out the umlauts.

Small Münsterländer

Older guy, but still spry. They have a really distinctive coat, don’t they?

Small Münsterländer

Hah, I like that expression.

Small Münsterländer

Coldwetnose.

Site News: Still Broken

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Adam Lang

Just to keep you all up to date: the site randomly decides whether it wants to post my updates or not. I have to manually check later in the day to see if my last post went through.

Think I’m going to need to experiment with a different hosting setup and see if that’s the problem.
