Dog of the Day: Bailey the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Bailey (9) is an honorary Dog of San Francisco, since I actually ran into him in the Charlotte airport over Christmas. He was snug as a pup in a bag, which is my new saying that means ‘really damn comfy’.

The bag is a soft travel kennel, but Bailey loves traveling with his head sticking out the ‘window’.

Dog of the Day: Khal the American Pit Bull Terrier Whippet Mix

Khal is a new mix for me. And OMG those ears!

No hovertext or captions. I think this guy is ridiculous enough just on his own, don’t you?

Sunday Switchup: Woodworm Woodwork

So sure, it’s pretty destructive. But it’s pretty.

Caturday Supplement: Mochi the British Shorthair

Ran into this kitty when I was off flying across the country over Christmas. I am going to say that she wasn’t entirely pleased to be on a trip, but she was surprisingly mellow for all that.

I wonder if they have breathing problems, like ‘squooshy-faced’ dogs do?

Dog of the Day: Milo the Shih Tzu

Milo (6) is a long-time veteran of the San Francisco pubic transit system. He knows how to get comfy on a bus.

He was pretty insistent about it, too.

Or, to put it another way, he knows how to get what he wants.

Dog of the Day: Sheep-a-Doodle

I don’t have any notes on this pup, but I seem to vaguely recall that he or she is a sheepdog poodle mix.

I’m starting to see more of these pups. Not sure if it’s a trend, but it’s a pretty awesome combination.

Barnaby is 2, and floof!

Caturday Supplement: Looooong Cat

Another SF Cat Show 2022 picture. A lot of these came out poorly, due to the ‘no flash photography’ and ‘crappy indoor lighting’ conditions, but I like this one.

Dog of the Day: Bacchus the Smooth Fox Terrier Puppy

My notes say that Bacchus is 5 months old. They also say that he is a ‘smooth dox terrier’, and although he does look rather smooth, I’m pretty sure he’s not a ‘dox’.

“Snoot Fox Terrier” maybe?

Dog of the Day: Thyra the Norwegian Buhund

I talked to Thryra’s mom, and she said she was a ‘Finnish by-hund’, which I had never heard of before. It actually took me quite a while to find the ‘Norwegian buhund’ using only that as a clue. Thyra is our first!

The pink stripe on the nose is unusual outside of husky mixes.
