Caturday Supplement: Mochi the British Shorthair

Posted on February 25, 2023 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on February 24, 2023 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on February 22, 2023 by Adam Lang

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.

Caturday Supplement: Looooong Cat

Posted on February 18, 2023 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on February 17, 2023 by Adam Lang

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

Posted on February 15, 2023 by Adam Lang

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.

Dog of the Day: Esme the Cirneco dell’Etna

Posted on February 14, 2023 by Adam Lang

I saw Esme (1) and thought ‘oh wow it’s a Pharaoh hound!’ But it turns out no, she’s an entirely new breed for me. Remarkable how much they look like Pharaoh hounds.

I don’t think we’ve had a Sicilian dog breed on here before.

Dog of the Day: Quizzical Dachshund

Posted on February 13, 2023 by Adam Lang

Someone was a little leery of all the passing foot traffic.

I seem to be curbing his enthusiasm.

Dog of the Day: Tulip the German Shepherd Puppy

Posted on February 9, 2023 by Adam Lang

Tulip was only 10 months old when we took these pictures, but she was pretty much fully grown in all but attitude.

She’ll grow up mentally in… a year or three.
