This gal was just hangin’ out, waiting for mom and dad to finish their lunch.

Who could bear not to donate half a sandwich to that face?

Dog of the Day: Ginger the Boxer/Beagle Mix

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Adam Lang

Hello from the Midwest! I haven’t had a chance to get any dog pictures out here… been running on overdrive since I got out here. But at least I have a chance to post a dog or two now. This is Ginger, who I ran into a couple months back in Huntingdon Park.

Tan and White Boxer/Beagle Mix

Look at that sweet face.

She’s definitely got the puppydog eyes down pat.

Leeeettle bitty underbite.

Delayed Dogs

Posted on August 15, 2013 by Adam Lang

Sorry about the gap: I’m traveling AND feeling crappy. At least one dog soon, I promise, although I may not be back to a regular schedule until Sunday.

Dog of the Day: Pious (Or At Least Patient) Samoyed And Friend

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Adam Lang

From the Blessing of the Animals.

Samoyed in a Church Pew

Not a sight you see every Sunday.

Samoyed and Cavalier King Charles Mix in a Church Pew

Look at that bashful look. Also, the smaller pup… cavalier mix, maybe?

Dog of the Day: Nibbler the Fluffy Little Miscellaneous Critter

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Adam Lang

I don’t know what Nibbler is (aside from ‘named after a Futurama character) but she certainly is scruff-a-licious!

Grey And White Scruffy Terrier Dog

Brainstorming here, but… maybe there’s some Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen in there?

Grey And White Scruffy Terrier Dog

She certainly has a penetrating stare.

Grey And White Scruffy Terrier Dog

Nose shot! Yay.

Grey And White Scruffy Terrier Dog

Big yawn. It’s tiring being that cute all the time.

Dog of the Day: Fletch the English Mastiff Puppy

Posted on August 11, 2013 by Adam Lang

Yes, really: Fletch is really just nine months old.

Brindled English Mastiff with White Chest

Yup, Fletch is going to get even bigger than this.

Brindled English Mastiff with White Chest

The ever-popular ‘puppy baroo’, aka head-tilt.

Bashful look. Fletch is full of love and smooches. Bring a towel when you meet him.

Caturday Supplement: Sprout the ADOPTABLE Marmalade Calico

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Adam Lang

Another adorable adoptable FIV+ kitty for you. This one, due to the fine people at Maddie’s Fund, is actually free to a good home. (They cover the adoption fees.)

And Sprout is awesome. The lighting in his little kitty condo (which, by the way, is a lovely luxurious space) is pretty dim, especially in the evenings, and Sprout was much more interested in playing and being petted and eating and playing and being petted than he was in standing still long enough for a long exposure. He kept walking out of my field of view, and I’d take the camera away from my eye and he’d have his chin resting on my knee. He did love playing with the feathers-on-a-stick, but of course while he was doing that he was just a little kitty-blur.

Marmalade-and-White Tabby Cat

That tail. Sprout has a tail that’s as poofly as three normal cat tails tied together. It’s pooflier than any long-haired cat’s tail that I’ve ever seen!

Marmalade-and-White Tabby Cat

Sprout was also surprisingly good-natured about me, for example, stacking things on top of him.

Marmalade-and-White Tabby Cat

Look at those pupils. Kitty WANT!

Marmalade-and-White Tabby Cat

Sprout actually played with the piece of crumpled up paper for a little while, but then he looked up at me, meowed, and he was back to butting his head against my knee. Also, another view of that magnificent tail.

Marmalade-and-White Tabby Cat

This is what happens when you’re holding a piece of paper up over your flash as a diffuser, and the target moves quickly and the camera does too, but the paper only moves half-fast. Alas, none of the others are any better.

Double Dog Day: Trixie the Corgi/Chow and Dot the Chihuahua Mix

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Adam Lang

I ran into these two earlier this year out in front of my favorite cheese shop, Cheese Plus (on Polk Street). There is often a dog or two out in front, waiting patiently for their cheese samples.

Corgi/Chow Mix and Chihuahua Mix

These two live together, and share just about everything.

Chow/Corgi Mix

Dat underbite.

Chihuahua Mix

I guess probably a Chihuahua mix, but one without the typical bulgy eyes and cranium. In other words, pretty cute!

Dog of the Day: Maggie the Labradoodle With Glorious Eyebrows

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Adam Lang

That’s what I have down in my notes. ‘Maggie the Labradoodle with Eyebrows, 8.’ Glorious eyebrows!

Black Labradoodle With Wiry Fur

These two were obviously having an absolutely lovely afternoon when I poked my camera into the mix.

Black Labradoodle With Wiry Fur

Black dogs in the sun. I eagerly await the day a camera is invented that can take good pictures of them.

Black Labradoodle With Wiry Fur

You can’t really see her right eyebrow (against her own fur), but look at the one that’s sticking out and visible against the pathway in the background. That’s one hell of an eyebrow.

Dog of the Day: Travis the Mystery Hound!

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Adam Lang

Travis’s mom thinks he’s a ‘mystery hound’. I think he’s adorable. (Could be a red-tick coonhound? Maybe Autumn will venture an opinion. If he is a red-tick coonhound, he’s our first one!)

Edit: Dammit. I ran into Travis’s mom this evening, and told her I’d posted him, and then I get home and am ready for bed and check and WordPress didn’t post. AGAIN. I hate that!

Red-Tick Coonhound

It’s not just boxers… a lot of hounds seem to always look a little confused too.

Red-Tick Coonhound

I think I may have been making use of my ‘hidden squeaky toy’ in this picture. I keep one in my backpack, and reach around behind me and squeeze it when necessary. It’s a surprisingly useful tactic.

Red-Tick Coonhound

Travis is very photogenic. He’s got a lot of great poses.

Red-Tick Coonhound

Can’t tell if he’s barking or howling.
