Posted on July 21, 2023 by Adam Lang

Don’t see a lot of wire-haired ones around. Mattie (5, a girl) is a rarity!

Damp Dog of the Day: Bosco the Italian Water Spaniel

Posted on July 19, 2023 by Adam Lang

Autumn brought an old friend of the blog with her down to a music-teaching gig she had in the wilds near Santa Cruz, and I was down there with them and caught a ton of pictures. And not aa single one came out looking the slightest bit normal. This one is kind of neat, though.

His teeth aren’t really as terrifying as they look in this picture, I promise.

Dog of the Day: Sleepy Great Pyrenees

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Adam Lang

It’s been a long, annoying day. My home internet is down, and annoying stuff happened at work, and bah and also humbug. So here is a picture of a Great Pyrenees that I ran into on a farm a little while back. No caption or hovertext, just enjoy the pup.

Dog of the Day: Zamboni the Basset Hound

Posted on July 14, 2023 by Adam Lang

Zamboni (3) has one of the most original and awesome names I’ve run across.

Bassets are pretty much top-notch when it comes to puppydog eyes.

Dog of the Day: Xochi the Mutt

Posted on July 12, 2023 by Adam Lang

Xochi (boy, 1) is just the kind of mutt I like: ridiculous ears, lots of fluff, 50 pounds of happy in a 40 pound sack.

Apparently he’s 1/4 Belgian malinois but that’s all they know.

Dog of the Day: Cooper the Old English Sheepdog Poodle Mix

Posted on July 11, 2023 by Adam Lang

Coopah! Cooper (2) is a sheep-a-doodle. Unlike another dog who I will be posting soon, who looks WAY more like an Old English sheepdog than Cooper does, but who has no sheepdog in her at all. Funny, that!

Grey And White Sheepadoodle
I still think that a Cocker spaniel poodle mix should be called a ‘Cock-a-doodle’. (Although would that mean that if the owner had to get out the poop bags they’d be picking up ‘cock-a-doodle doo’?)

Dog of the Day: Macy the Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Mix

Posted on July 10, 2023 by Adam Lang

I asked if Macy (4 years old) was a Macy’s San Francisco Christmas Window Puppy, but it turns out mom just liked the name.

Looks like almost pure Lab, doesn’t she?

For a mix that has no husky in it, Macy seems to have a very husky sense of humor.

Caturday Supplement: Shop Kitty

Posted on July 8, 2023 by Adam Lang

A local optometrist has had a couple of different shop cats since I started the blog. Both quite friendly.

You can see the sun through her ears. Love that.

Dog of the Day: Pooped French Bulldog

Posted on July 6, 2023 by Adam Lang

Someone is recharging. Fortunately her head absorbs the sun’s rays and converts it to 90% cheer, 9% drool, and 11% bark. (Yes, it’s very efficient.)

French Bulldogs don’t deflate when they lie like this nearly as much as the English sort do.

Dog of Independence Day: Lou the Chihuahua American Eskimo Dog Golden Retriever Mix

Posted on July 4, 2023 by Adam Lang

The mind boggles a bit at the mix, but we’ve got pretty much all of North America from Alaska to Mexico represented here, so I guess it’s a good July 4th pup. And Lou is 3, and thus, like the United States, old enough to know better and not old enough to pay much attention.

Just like most of my subjects, I’m not a big fan of fireworks, and I don’t have anyone to go see them with this year, so I’ll be putting in some ear plugs and going to bed early.
