Meet Febbo, a 9-year-old male whippet. Believe it or not, he’s our first! How on earth did that happen?

None of my side views of this fine pooch turned out. Too bad, since whippets are so graceful-looking.

Okay, Zoe’s not tiny-tiny… I mean, she’s not chihuahua-sized. But she’s a full-grown (1-year-old) Labrador retriever/poodle mix that weighs 14 pounds. That’s a whole lot of awesome to pack into such a petite form.
Pixie is quite a rare breed! In fact, she may well be the only Norwegian fruit-bat terrier outside of Norwegia. I had been previously unaware of this breed, until her mom told me about them, but I immediately made up researched a bunch of details. For example, did you know that they were originally bred for war, and were used in the Battle of Hastings by Norwegian mercenaries, who were hired to fight against the fearsome Norman ‘batzenjammers’, who rode into battle on the backs of giant mutant fruit bats?
Whoever cropped her ears should have his ears cropped in return. It’s only fair, right?
Edit: Well, I’m not sure why significant numbers of people search for ‘Norwegian fruit-bat dog’ on google, but welcome regardless.
Namo is apparently often found in Kiehl’s, a cosmetics-and-stuff store on Fillmore Street. His name is apparently part of a Buddhist prayer (‘Namo Buddhaya’, or ‘salutation to the Buddha’, if I’m reading this right.) I don’t know, corgis never struck me as the most serene of animals, although Cardigans are definitely closer to that than Pembrokes are.
I’ve been holding onto Charlie (girl) for around six months now. Why? Because I just had too many good pictures of her. I just couldn’t choose, say, ten. But today I’m watching the Puppy Bowl, and so I have plenty of time for weighty cuteness-related decisions.
Just a reminder to all of you people who aren’t into football: if you weren’t planning on being in front of a TV this Sunday, maybe you should revise your plans. Because The Puppy Bowl (IX!) will be showing, and this year in addition to its kitten halftime show, it features hedgehog cheerleaders.
I’m not sure I can handle that level of ridiculousness, but I sure as heck am going to try.
Could be a mix, could just be a straight shepherd. Quite pretty, either way, no? Looks a lot like Vlad, except goofier.
