Posted on December 28, 2012 by Adam Lang

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!

Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever Mix Puppy

Posted on December 27, 2012 by Adam Lang

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.

Christmas Day Dog: Ceili the Awesome Dog!

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Adam Lang

For Christmas, here’s Autumn’s puppy with a holiday message.

Golden Retriever

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.

Golden Retriever

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.

Golden Retriever

She also loves hats.

Golden Retriever

Important to remember to take the second shirt off when you take her out to do her business.

Golden Retriever

The happy face is because she’s recovered enough that she can walk around un-leashed.

Golden Retriever

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!

Golden Retriever

Aww… she loves giving hugs and smooches.

Dog of Christmas Eve: Rocky the Hopeful Lab

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Adam Lang

If anyone tells you that dogs don’t know when Christmas is coming, don’t you believe it.

Chocolate Lab

I heard this guy coming from a block away. Jingly-bells!

Chocolate Labrador Retriever

Rocky is five… still young enough to be excitable.

Chocolate Labrador Retriever

Aww, happy face! Haven’t seen many labs with heterochromia like that.

Chocolate Labrador Retriever

I do not recall what promoted this, but it sure is adorable.

Dog of the Day: Miko the Pit Bull/Dachshund Mix

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Adam Lang

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.

Tan Dachshund/Pit Bill Mix

Look at that one-eyebrow-up action.

Tan Dachshund/Pit Bill Mix

Puppydog eyes.

Caturday Supplement: Calamakitty

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Adam Lang

Autumn’s family has two cats: Evil and Calamity, also known as Calamakitty. I hereby name them honorary Cats of San Francisco.

Tortoiseshell Tabby And White Cat

I call this position ‘cat blob’.

Tortoiseshell Tabby And White Cat

Cats often look so philosophical.

Calamity isn’t the smartest cat in the world… but she does like cuddles.

Double Dog Day: Sirius the Beagle and Harvey Black the Labrador Retriever Mix

Posted on December 21, 2012 by Adam Lang

These two are good friends, but they’re not above a little friendly rivalry. The beagle is Sirius, posted way back in April.

Tricolor Beagle and Black Labrador Retriever Mix With White Socks

These two dogs have enough personality to fill up a whole dog park.

White toes! I like the expression too.

Dog of the Day: Patches the Border Collie/English Springer Spaniel

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Adam Lang

My notes on Patches say ’11 years old, super-soft fur’.

Black and White Border Collie/English Springer Spaniel Mix

This is one of those mixes that I like to think I would have been able to guess myself, even though I see very few English springer spaniels.

Black and White English Springer Spaniel/Border Collie Mix

Smiley dog.

The person in the background is Autumn. And yes, that purse has a pug on it.

Dog of the Day: Doggie Bag!

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Adam Lang

I believe this to be Mini Cooper Bocephus Conrad Lincecum Pell, Mini Cooper (or ‘Coop?’) for short, who is a ten-year-old chihuahua/Boston terrier mix. That’s a lot of names for a dog who fits in a bag!

Black and White Chihuahua/Boston Terrier Mix

He fits amazingly well. I wonder if she still has room for the usual stuff (wallet, hair brush, and so forth) in there too?

Black and White Chihuahua/Boston Terrier Mix

It’s quite a stylish bag, too.

Black and White Chihuahua/Boston Terrier Mix

That’s mom. The two seem to get along great, and Cooper doesn’t even seem to mind the bag.

Dog of the Day: Barkley the Labrador Retriever Puppy

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Adam Lang

Two puppies in a row. I am totally spoiling you guys.

Edit: So frustrating: I wrote some totally adorable hovertext for this guy, but the latest update to WordPress made the editor eat it without a trace and I can’t remember what it was. BAH!

Edit x 2: Figured out how to retrieve it, only a year and two months later!

10-Week-Old Black Labrador Retriever Puppy

Ten weeks old. What do you think? Height of cuteness?

10-Week-Old Black Labrador Retriever Puppy

Lab ears are so soft. Lab puppy ears are even softer.

10-Week-Old Black Labrador Retriever Puppy

Barkley has a white spot on his chest. I guess that occasionally happens with full-blooded labs.

With those eyes, I bet someone gets what he wants, most of the time…
