Ran into Sterling on one of our hiking outings, last October. It was quite dark, so most of my pictures didn’t come out, but I got a couple of okay ones.
Poor Sterling. He was a rescue, years ago. He’s now 7, and he’s still scared of people. It breaks my heart seeing a scared Great Dane.
I guess his coloration is called ‘mantle’.
Ah well. At least I’m glad he has someone taking good care of him now.
Hope you didn’t do too much partying last night, like this guy.
(I was GOING to post our first Irish setter ever today, but I’m still getting used to this camera… every damn picture I took was blurry except one, and that one’s going to take a lot of tweaking because it’s too dark. Bah!)
Someone, it appears, is about ready for the holiday season to be over with.
Back in San Francisco, as of yesterday evening.
Today, I had a long day: got locked out of my apartment (this morning at 10), and then left a credit card at a restaurant, and then found my credit card, and then got myself back into my apartment (this evening at 8). So, sorry for the late and short post, but… yeah. I’m tired.
So have an assistance dog I met in the airport on the way home.
He’s still at that awkward adolescent stage, but apparently he’s a well-trained assistance dog already.
My brother, Brad, lives in Phoenix, Arizona, a place I was able to visit for quite a short period on my way home from Indiana. His street has a little crowd of feral kitties living nearby… this is one of them, who camped out in the middle of the road when we were pulling in and decided not to move when the car approached. But ran away from me when I got within twenty yards. Go figure.
Staring fixedly at me. I was literally 15 to 20 yards away. The car didn’t get his attention when it was ten feet away.
When I got ten yards away he got up and sauntered off.
And then sat down in someone’s driveway and watched me to make sure I wasn’t going to get any closer. Silly cat.
Is Zoe really our first full klee kai? It sure seems that way.
Lovely poofly tail!
Someone has the ‘faithful, noble companion’ pose down pat.
Making the extra effort to be cute.
And the little glance over the shoulder. So cute!
Autumn and I ran into this puppy on our way somewhere, and I grabbed a few pictures. And none of them came out, they were all too blurry, due to puppy hyperkineticism. Thank goodness, we ran into her again a week or two later.
I think there’s some terrier in there, but she’s at least half golden retriever.
Autumn went totally ga-ga over this pup.
Can’t blame her. So cute! And so cuddly!
Yes, booping that nose is just as satisfying as you think it would be.
For Christmas, here’s Autumn’s puppy with a holiday message.
Ceili’s been wearing two shirts a lot lately, one on top and one over her butt. But I didn’t get any good shots of her with both on, sadly.
The reason she’s been wearing shirts is she had surgery lately (don’t worry, she’s doing great) and they had to keep her from licking the sutures.
She also loves hats.
Important to remember to take the second shirt off when you take her out to do her business.
The happy face is because she’s recovered enough that she can walk around un-leashed.
Tomorrow or the next day, she gets the shirts off, and soon after she gets to play fetch again. Imagine what her face will look like then!
Aww… she loves giving hugs and smooches.
If anyone tells you that dogs don’t know when Christmas is coming, don’t you believe it.
I heard this guy coming from a block away. Jingly-bells!
Rocky is five… still young enough to be excitable.
Aww, happy face! Haven’t seen many labs with heterochromia like that.
I do not recall what promoted this, but it sure is adorable.
The breed is just a guess, but I do know that Miko is a world traveller. I met him in the airport at Las Vegas, when I was stuck there for four hours. He’s a rescue, and still a little bit shy, but he’s super-sweet.
Look at that one-eyebrow-up action.
Puppydog eyes.
Autumn’s family has two cats: Evil and Calamity, also known as Calamakitty. I hereby name them honorary Cats of San Francisco.
I call this position ‘cat blob’.
Cats often look so philosophical.
Calamity isn’t the smartest cat in the world… but she does like cuddles.
