Three Dogs One (Birth)Day: Gucci, Coco, and Baby Girl

Posted on August 27, 2023 by Adam Lang

Ran into these three today, there mostly-poodles-and-a-little-Chihuahua, and I had to post them even though it’s Sunday. Why? Because it is Baby Girl’s first birthday! So let’s all go on Instagram (shirleybaby2) and wish her a happy birthday!

Puppy of the Day: Chingon? The Boerboel?

Posted on August 25, 2023 by Adam Lang

I’m not certain this is Chingon but I don’t know who else it could be. Is he really a Boerboel? (A South African mastiff?) I dunno. I just know he’s a cutie.

Sorry about the lighting, but I think the picture’s still worth it.

Black And White Puppy With Spotty Belly Looking Dubious — I’ve never seen a South African mastiff so I really don’t know, but this isn’t the most common coloration that I find online when I google them.

Dog of the Day: Sarcastic Poodle

Posted on August 24, 2023 by Adam Lang

This one seems a little dubious about me.

Black Poodle With Very Sarcastic Expression — Not sure if this is a big mini or a small standard.

We haven’t had a doggie bag in some time!

Chihuahua Sticking His Head Out Of A Knapsack — Big backpack! Plenty of room for laptop, books, and pup.

Dog of the Day: Chubbs the Newfoundland Dog

Posted on August 21, 2023 by Adam Lang

The first thing I said when I saw Chubbs was ‘oh my God is he a puppy?’ After hearing that no, he was two, I said, ‘Wow, he’s a grown-up, but he’s so little!’ His mom thought that was hilarious, and said, ‘Yeah, he is very small for a Newfie, but most people tell me how huge he is!’ Everything’s relative, I guess.

Brown Newfoundland Dog With Amber Eyes — I haven’t seen a Newfie in aaaaages. They’re definitely not in the top fifty breeds in SF.

Double Dog Day: Mary Poppins the Cardigan Pembroke Mix and Gatsby the Australian Shepherd

Posted on August 17, 2023 by Adam Lang

I love these two! What a perfect combination. Mary is 1, and a complete rambunctious rascal, and Gatsby is 13 and… another one!

Cardigan Pembroke Mix Corgi And Red Merle Australian Shepherd Grinning At The Camera — Is this really our first Pembroke Cardie mix? They seem to be a lot rarer than most other corgi mixes for some reason.

Benji is 4 months old and is it just me…

Siberian Husky Puppy With Ridiculous Markings That Look Like Glasses — I have never in my life seen such absolutely perfect spectacle markings.

Dog of the Day: Rufus the Puli

Posted on August 14, 2023 by Adam Lang

Rufus (1) is our first Puli in quite some time. His dreadlocks haven’t come in yet, and he’s a little anxious.

White Puli Rushing Towards The Camera — I didn’t remember ever seeing a white one before, but we did, almost ten years ago.

White Puli Sticking His Nose Into The Camera — Looking forward to seeing what a white puli in dreadlocks looks like, though.

Dog of the Day: Mocha the Bernadoodle

Posted on August 11, 2023 by Adam Lang

It seems that Mocha (3) is the sort who, when wandering through a store, just can’t let a person go by without saying hello. This is in my opinion entirely fair, since I am the sort who, when wandering through a store, can’t let Mocha go by without saying hello.

Mocha also has an instagram, which is supposed to be at ‘mochaforthegram‘, but for some reason it’s not loading for me. Perhaps you will have better luck.
