Experimenting

Trying out the WordPress iPhone app again. I heard that there were some significant upgrades.

We ran into this pup at a craft fair in Albany. A very recent rescue. She’s very territorial but very sweet.

Hmm. Still doesn’t seem to have caption support.

20110710-045709.jpgEdited these in photoshop mobile. Better than nothing.

Dog of the Day: Henry the Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd

I’m headed out on vacation. Gonna try to keep posting, though.

Meet Henry the Lab/Australian Shepherd mix. Ran into him just a half-block from my apartment. I hope I run into him again, he’s a real sweetheart.

Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd

Henry's a young guy. Really energetic, and quite obedient as long as there are treats involved.

Dog of the Day: Montana the Catahoula Cur

Another Hula-Hula Cat-Dog for y’all. Montana has unusual but not unprecedented (and gorgeous!) coloration for a Catahoula, and is otherwise an utterly adorable puppy who loves people and other dogs.

Catahoula Leopard Dog Puppy

Pretty blue eyes, and mostly white, but I don't think she has any hearing problems. (Plus, bonus Rottie in the background!)

Catahoula Hog Dog

Not shown: Montana licking me on the left eyebrow.

Catahoula Cur

Damn shadows on the eyes. Maybe at some point I'll spend some time with photoshop trying to erase them.

Dog of the Day: Malamute Mix

Such a pretty pup. He was tied up outside the old mint one morning.

Malamute Mix

Gorgeous markings. Almost wonder if it's a wolf mix.

Double Dog Day: Portuguese Water Dog and Unknown Mix

Could be some pit in the unknown guy, could be some lab, I dunno. While I’m not 100% certain about the Portuguese water dog, I think it’s pretty likely.

Portuguese Water Dog and Unknown Mixed Breed Dog

Picture was taken right next to AT&T stadium. No idea if that's one of the Portuguese Water Dogs that (used to?) fetch the baseballs that fly out into the water.

Portuguese Water Dog Lump and Unknown Mixed Breed

Portuguese water dogs make great 'puppy speed bumps'.

Unknown Mixed Breed Dog

How can a tail bend that way? I thought they had bones in them?

Someone's strutting.

Double Dog Day: Lab Mix and Terrier

It’s these two against the world. Seems like they’re doing all right so far.

Unknown Terrier and Labrador Retriever Mix

I wonder if the places they're going includes underwater? That sorta looks like dog scuba gear.

Dog of the Day: Sierra the Whippet/Terrier Mix

Sierra is a cute little pup, but she is super-shy. She’s a rescue dog, which explains a lot right there, and whippets can be a little on the nervous side at the best of times.

Sierra the Whippet/Terrier Mix

Look at the body language: ears partway back, tail tucked so far between the legs that it comes out the front.

Sierra the Whippet/Terrier Mix

A little less freaked out. Probably because she's no longer looking at me.

Dog of the Day: Sunny the Lab/Pit/Bullmastiff(?) Mix

Sunny wants to know what you’re doin’ for fun on this exciting long weekend!

Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull/Bull Mastiff Mix

Cold wet noses for everyone!

Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull/Bull Mastiff Mix

Does anyone else think it looks goofy when dogs sit like that? Like they're just trying to 'look casual'.

Dog of the Day: Lexi the Min-Pin, with Guest Star Daisy-Mae

This is Lexi the Miniature Pinscher, with her play buddy (and our old friend) Daisy (aka Daisy-Mae) the bluetick beagle.

Bluetick Beagle and Miniature Pinscher

An afternoon romp in the grass with a friend.

Miniature Pinscher

Min-Pins always look like chihuahuas to me, but apparently they were bred from Italian greyhounds and dachshunds. Go figure.

Miniature Pinscher

That just looks like a missing finger waiting to happen. Sharp little teeth!

Miniature Pinscher

There, that's better.

Miniature Pinscher (Min-Pin) and Bluetick Beagle

The two of them got pretty energetic, play-wise. But they were definitely still having fun.

Although it sometimes LOOKED a little bit scary.
