Dog of the Day: Stitch the English Setter

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Adam Lang

Stitch is 10.5 years old, and still going strong.

English Setter

Yes, that is a ‘Dogs of SF’ business card in the background there.

They’re outside a local Polk Street cafe. It’s always a great place for dog-watching.

Dog of the Day: Oliver the German Shepherd/Greyhound Mix (with Guest Pomeranian)

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Adam Lang

Oliver totally reminds me of a cartoon dog I have seen somewhere, but I can’t remember where, or even in what context. Someone help me out here!

(It’s funny: I guess he’s been around the neighborhood for a while. Since I saw him three weeks ago I have seen him twice more, but I never saw him before. I’d remember.)

For some reason I find Oliver goofier-looking than either German shepherds or greyhounds. (That’s okay, Oliver… goofy is good!)

Oliver likes everyone: people, other dogs, whoever.

Very expressive face.

Polk Street is a fun place to take pictures, because there are so many dogs that you can watch the dogs, and then watch the dogs watching the other dogs.

And there’s a happy expression, which seems pretty typical for Oliver.

Dog of the Day: Gorgeous Malamute (Mix?)

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Adam Lang

Is it just the angle of the shot, or does this dog look like she has a little corgi in her?

That’s an awfully pensive expression.

This is a picture from quite a while ago, at Bay to Barkers.

Double Dog Day: Norwich Terrier and Poodle Mix

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Adam Lang

These two look like the best of friends, don’t they?

Tan Norwich Terrier Wrestling Black Standard Poodle Mix

I have vague memories of playing like this with other kids when I was a little kid. Since then, I have pretty much exclusively wrestled dogs.

Look at those vicious faces. You can tell they are Deadly Killers™.

And there’s the happy face.

Am not sure what is going on with the poodle mix’s muzzle. Fuzzy?

Dog of the Day: Unknown Mix

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Adam Lang

No idea what this guy is. Maybe Autumn will have a clue.

Small Tricolor Dog

That coloration is quite pretty.

Those ears!

Multi-Dog Day: Everybody!

Posted on March 3, 2013 by Adam Lang

I really miss this dog park. Lafayette Park has been shut down for over a year now for construction. I hear it’s going to be a lot less of a dog park, and more of a children’s park, once it reopens, but it will be a lot better than it is right now (which is ‘entirely fenced in’.)

This little mob is pretty typical of what Lafayette Park looked like on a Sunday afternoon, before the renovations started.

A Whole Bunch of Dogs

The expressions are great, and I love the cheerful Sheltie in the background.

Caturday Supplement: More Macy’s Window Kitties

Posted on March 2, 2013 by Adam Lang

Have to remember to get some of Autumn’s cat pictures for next week.

In the mean time, I do love that cat’s grin. You think he or she knows something we don’t?

Grey-and-White Fluffy Kitty and Black-And-White Short-Haired Kitty

For someone who rarely shops at Macy’s, I sure do get a lot of mileage out of them.

Dog of the Day: Yang the German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute Mix

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Adam Lang

Ladies and gentlemen, I am in love. (Absolutely platonic, I assure you. I’m already taken, after all!)

German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute Mix with Tricolor Coloration

That is one handsome specimen. Apparently there’s another just like him at home, named Yin. (A girl, no doubt.)

A dog like this deserves extra hugs. Lots of them. I gave him one and OMG that fur.

Dog of the Day: Daisy the Havanese/Schnauzer Mix

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Adam Lang

Poor Daisy. I know I feel a bit overwhelmed in chocolate shops, surrounded by all that lovely chocolate that I can’t have. I bet dogs feel that same way in pet stores.

Black and Tan Javanese/Schnauzer Mix

My notes say ‘timid’, but I always prefer the term ‘shy’, or even ‘coy’. Seems a little less sad, somehow.

Double Dog Day: Oso the Chihuahua Mix and Roo the Chihuahua

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Adam Lang

This pair was quite busy, but gave me a quick hello on the way by. Both are 4.5 years old in these pictures.

Brown Fluffy Chihuahua Mix

I love the fact that there just randomly happens to be a cable car in the background. Not intentional, honest.

Brown Fluffy Chihuahua Mix

Fully convertible ears.

If there’s one thing Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes are good at, it’s goofy looks.

Dad and Roo. Talk about your classic Chihuahua.
