Dog of the Day: Vladimir the Siberian Husky/German Shepherd Mix

Aw man. Vlad has more awesome than any one dog deserves.

Vlad was pretty clearly loving the weather. It was chilly outside but quite sunny, and that seemed to suit him just fine.

Vlad was very attentive to his dad.

Look at those eyes. Ice blue.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kittens

I’m not certain, but that looks like a smile to me…

Black and Grey Kittens

I wonder if Macy’s came up missing some cream on next inventory.

Double Dog Day: Radar the French Bulldog and Otis German Shorthaired Pointer

Is it just me, or would these two, suitably cartoonified, make the best comedy duo ever?

I’m reminded somehow of Abbott and Costello.

Otis will hypnotize you if given half a chance.

Those black eye-spots are amazing. His face makes me giggle, which sounds mean but I doubt he minds.

Dog of the Day: Scruffy Little Cairn Terrier

Not sure about my ID of this guy, but I’m sure about the scruffy part.

That’s one impish expression.

Dog of the Day: Pub Pit Mix

This pup is the pub dog at a local biergarten-cum-thingummy. I will not mention the exact place, because they serve food as well as drink and I don’t think dogs are, strictly speaking, allowed in.

However, I will say that he caused a bit of a ruckus, or possibly even a rumpus, a few weeks ago: he suddenly dashed out of the front door, past a rather surprised entering patron, and led several people (including Autumn and myself) a rather merry chase. We eventually gave up, because we had absolutely no idea which way he’d gone, but fortunately someone else did better, and he was returned, none the worse for wear.

He did look a bit despondent at times. (And he was terrified of me.)

I guess he was a recent rescue, so it makes sense. Poor pup. (Gotta love the black spot!)

He definitely liked attention from mom, at any rate.

Dog of the Day: Cargo Supervisor Australian Shepherd Mix

We ran into this guy keeping watch over his dad’s truck while he was gone. Fortunately, we persuaded him to take a few moments off to say hello.

That’s Autumn’s hand. And he is gazing raptly into her eyes.

Look at that goofy face.

Dog of the Day: Bike-Guarding Chihuahua Mix

This pup took his job seriously. He didn’t bite, but he growled until that guy stepped back.

Hey everyone! I have a twitter feed now! Follow me, @dogsofsf, for occasional updates with pictures of dogs that I run into that I don’t have time to do a full photo-shoot for, just quick snaps on my iPhone. Also pictures of random city stuff that I run across.

Tan Chihuahua Mix with White Chest

It’s an interesting idea, one way of keeping someone from snaffling your bike.

He does look like he takes his job seriously, but I can’t help but thing a slightly bigger dog might be a better deterrent.

Dog of the Day: Tosca the Shoe-Shopping Vizsla

Sweet little vizsla, shoe-shopping with dad! (Store is Lombardi Sports, a great little local sporting goods shop.)

Small Female Vizsla

She’s a little petite for a vizsla… or, as I like to put it, ‘apartment-sized’.

Small Female Vizsla

The bin that says ‘dirty’ is full of used loaner socks, for people trying on shoes. It got a little attention from Tosca, though I didn’t manage to get any shots of that.

I don’t honestly recall what this was, whether it was a trick or not, but it seems quite appropriate for a shoe store.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kittens

Someone eats funny.

Two Tabby Kittens

Innovations in eating: the vertical diet. It takes more energy pushing the food UP your body, so you lose weight! Ingenious!

Two Tabby Kittens

Ah well, it was worth a try.

That’s some yummy cat food right there.
