Dog of the Day: Linus the German Wirehaired Pointer Mix

I am disappointed. I took some pictures yesterday that I totally wanted to post today, of the most adorable little shiba inu in a raincoat, as celebration of the first rain of the season in San Francisco. (It will probably get old for me soon enough, but for right now I was pretty happy about jogging to work in the rain.) But all of the pictures came out blurry, every single one, except one really gorgeous picture of my thumb.

I hope I run into her again, she was so cute, and she seemed to really like her raincoat. And she was super-friendly, too. Next time I’ll use the decent camera instead of trying it with my iPhone.

Anyway, instead, here’s Linus. According to his owner, Linus is a 4-year-old German wirehaired pointer mix. I dunno, I do detect a certain similarity.

Awesome. I think he’s grinning at me.

Almost looks like a wolfhound mix in this one.

I think I got everyone today: in the background of this one are the pit bull and the lab mix.

Double Dog Day: Weimaraner and Pit Bull Redux

I turned out to only have one picture of the Weimaraner. Fortunately, I forgot to post one awesome picture of yesterday’s pit bull. That should round things out nicely.

Weimaraner

I love how Weimaraner (and Vizsla) noses match their coats so beautifully. Also, lovely eyes! (Don’t mind the little bit of drool.)

He knows what he likes (having his chest scratched) and is not afraid to ask for it.

Triple Dog Day: Happy Pit Bull and Friends

This is the same guy I posted a preview of on Friday. I found him at a dog park and boy was he having a good time.

American Pit Bull Terrier and Labrador Retriever Mix

These two were just having a grand time.

Surprise dog hug!

That expression.

He had lots of friends. This one is a Weimaraner that I’ll have a few more shots of tomorrow.

Caturday Supplement: Tortoiseshell-and-White Tabby

Was poking through my photos and found a cat I hadn’t yet posted. Hooray!

Tortoiseshell-and-White Tabby Cat

She’s pretty, and she knows it.

Dog of the Day: Happy Pit Bull Preview

I have a few pictures of this guy, but things are running pretty late and I’m tired, so consider this a preview.

Happy American Pit Bull Terrier

He was pretty much in doggie heaven: another five dogs to play with, a bunch of people to greet, and then belly rubs.

Double Dog Day: Standard Poodle and Shetland Sheepdog

Not feeling so hot, so just one picture for today.

Apricot Standard Poodle and Tricolor Shetland Sheepdog/Sheltie

This is from a while back (like a year and a half) but I like these two.

Multi-Dog Day: The Last of The Howling

Phew! Thought for a while we weren’t going to make it!

Tibetan Mastiff

Look who I ran into at the party: Lambeau, our only Tibetan mastiff and the winner of the ‘City’ Photo Contest!

Tibetan Mastiff

Lambeau was kind of tired, although he was a lot more friendly to me when I petted him this time. Dad gave him a treat in a plastic bag, which definitely got him going. Brave man: I’d be terrified he’d start thinking all plastic bags were fair game…

Dog Dressed as a Knight

This poor guy. I don’t even know what breed he is. He couldn’t see a damn thing, and basically just walked around with his nose pressed against mom’s leg. It seemed to work, though.

Scottie and Cairn Terrier

I like the brown one’s attitude.

Oh my god. Meet Bubba. If he doesn’t melt your heart, you should see a cardiac surgeon about getting it replaced as soon as possible.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi/German Shepherd/Something-or-Other Mix Adorable Dog

The current theory is that Bubba is a corgi/German shepherd/something else mix. I can’t even begin to guess. But if they decided to clone him, I’ll take two.

All right, last picture for today. Nothing I have in the queue can top Bubba.

Multi-Dog Day: More Halloween Howlers

I’ve still got a few of these left to post. Tomorrow should get me through the last of them.

Little Bitty Wire Haired Terrier Mix Dressed As A Hot Dog

Ohh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener…

Black Labrador Retriever Dressed as Batman

This guy wins twice: first off, he’s batdog. Second, he’s the Adam West version.

Black Labrador Retriever Dressed As Batman/Batdog

The little head tilt really makes the picture. It was triggered by the squeaky toy I keep in my backpack.

Two Tricolor Beagles

These two were just there to enjoy the sun and giggle at all the costumes.

White Miniature Poodle in a Ladybug Costume

Someone was just a teensy bit hostile. Can’t blame her… she was totally overstimulated, and probably pretty tired to boot. But she definitely wasn’t having any of me.

White Teacup Poodle in a Ladybug Costume

She kept running back to mom for protection, and then back out to bark at me.

Dog of the Day: Howl-O-Ween Husky

Sorry I missed yesterday. It’s a really busy time for me at work, and will probably continue to be pretty busy until Wednesday.

Here’s a lovely (un-costumed) husky, with bonus husky-shadow, to tide you over.

Light Red Siberian Husky

Someone looks a little warm. Don’t worry, pup, it’ll cool back down again soon.

Horsie-Day Supplement: Hay Bay-Bay!

A couple of bays eating some hay for the city by the bay! (Fine, fine, they’re eating grain. But that doesn’t rhyme nearly as well.)

Two Bay Horses, One with White Socks Eating

Ran into these two when Autumn and I went to Little Yosemite, last February.
