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.

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

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.

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

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.

Howl-O-Ween Dogs: More Corgis!

Work is really getting to me. Big big big deadline next Wednesday, on a project that nobody actually understands yet. This strikes me as a bad idea, but hey… customers, right? “The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we’ve finished building it”… and even by that, ah, ‘modest’ standard, I’m not sure we’re making very good decisions.

So here’s something a little goofy to cheer me — and you, should you need it — up.

Tan-and-White Pembroke Welsh Corgi In a Cowboy Costume Sliding Out of Mom's Lap

This is the patented ‘Corgi Ooze’. Cats do it too. It’s the best way to passive-aggressively get out of mom’s lap so you can go off and do something naughty, without technically breaking any rules by actually struggling.

Four Pembroke Welsh Corgis In Costumes

Yes, that’s two more in bee costumes, Mr. Slippery in a cowboy costume, and one of our supermen in the back. For those of you keeping score at home, that brings the Corgi Count to seven: two supermen (supermans?), two bees, a gunslinger, a hot dog, and a zombie (I think).

Pembroke Welsh Corgis In Costumes

For some reason, the corgis in bee costumes seemed to really be having a great time. Both this one…

Delighted Tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi in a Bee Costume

…and this one. Aw man. That’s one happy face.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi in a Sheriff Costume

Meanwhile, the sheriff was off “rustlin’ up some grub.” (Oh my god look at the fuzzy tocks.)

Tan and White Pembroke Welsh Corgi in a Sheriff Costume

Worked, too. Suckers!

Tan and White Pembroke Welsh Corgi in a Bee Costume

The bee costumes are cute and all, but the sheriff takes the cake, I think. It’s the little hat. So ridiculous.
