Dog of the Day: Dana the German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher (?) Mix

Not sure about the breed mix, and neither was her dad. Funny thing: she looks like a gigantic Australian kelpie.

German Shepherd Mix

Perfect little dog paw-prints on the concrete.

German Shepherd Mix

A good candidate for the 'dogs with one ear up' list.

German Shepherd Mix

Teensy tinsy eyebrows!

German Shepherd Mix

I dunno, maybe he's not a German shepherd mix. He doesn't have that big goofy German shepherd grin.

Bear lives up to his name: he’s huge-normous!

One 90-pound Labrador retriever. And no, not much fat on him, either.

Bear also likes bear hugs.

Dog of Christmas Day: Heterochromic Australian Shepherd

For your Christmas enjoyment. I didn’t have any dogs with wreaths but I found you a really pretty pooch. It’s hard to see except in one slightly blurry picture, but she doesn’t just have two different colored eyes: her right eye is half blue and half brown.

Heterochromic Australian Shepherd

Happy face!

Heterochromatic Australian Shepherd

Gorgeous profile, too. Wish I'd gotten some of the other side with the brown eye.

There, you can see that the right eye is half blue and half brown.

Prettiest coloration ever.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Kitty

Macy’s kitty for your Christmas Even enjoyment!

Kittens!

This window contained three utter hams. This is two thirds of them.

Kittens

Oops, there's number three.

Kitten

Okay, that? That's just ridiculous.

Kitties

If that cat hasn't been adopted yet, there's something wrong with the universe.

Triple Dog Day: Walker, Munsen, and Bruno the Bulldogs

I haven’t posted a triple dog day in forever! Walker (6 months old, in brown), Munsen (11 months, in tan), and Bruno (2 years, in white) are all good friends, although Bruno is a visitor. The three of them were chilling outside of The Bell Tower on Polk Street, source of many good pictures (such as these.)

Walker and Munsen have their own Facebook page.

Bulldogs

Most people keep the dogs *under* the tables.

Bulldogs

Bruno knows how to give a high-five even remotely.

Bulldog

Hi-five close-up!

Bulldogs

Bulldogs do tend to be patient, but watching these three just happily perch in chairs for the duration of the meal was awesome.

Bulldogs

If there's a dog breed that's better at looking ridiculously sad than the bulldog, it's not by much.

Dog of the Day: Grommet the English Setter

Poor Gromit. He seemed so bewildered by our strange San Francisco ways!

English Setter

Skinny, gangly, angular.

English Setter

Expressive face. Goofy expressions, too.

Good, clean teeth, but he could use some braces.

Double Dog Day: Siberian Husky and Pug

Another husky-and-friend set. I’ll leave you to decide which one is the main character and which is the humorous sidekick.

Siberian Husky and Pug

That ball just barely fit in the pug's mouth.

Pug

A dog's worst conundrum... wants to lick you, but doesn't want to let go of the ball.

Pug

Pug looking both ways!

Siberian Husky

Hey, watch where you're pointing that thing.

Site News: Erratic Posting For a Couple Days

Headed off on a trip. I might manage to get a post together tomorrow but I might not. Either way, I should have plenty of time on Wednesday. Sorry about that!

Double Dog Day: Husky and Unknown Mix

There was a busker playing out near Union Square with a couple of dogs.

Mixed-breed Dog

Yes, she's heavy. The busker said she was like that when he found her, and hopefully he can help her lose a little of that excess weight.

Husky

Awww... husky sweetness.
