Dog of the Day: Georgie the Goldendoodle

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Adam Lang

I have been remiss in my posts. So sorry! It’s complicated being a vagrant migrant temporarily displaced person, and taking care of a giant ball of goof and love is a task too! But I will soldier on.

Today, say hello to Georgie (10), a pup I ran into earlier today myself. She is actually a San Francisco resident, though she, like me, has been temporarily displaced to Berkeley due to complications with her living arrangements, to whit her folks going off on a cruise without her. Shame on them! I bet Georgie would have been delighted to come along.

Posting from my phone, which doesn’t seem to allow captions or hover text? Anyway, I got several good pictures of Georgie seated, but I think this one captures her essence better: broad, gentle smile, broad, gentle wag.

Dog of the Day: Lulu the Mutt

Posted on October 16, 2023 by Adam Lang

I am dog-sitting! I’m in a lovely house in Berkeley, conveniently a block away from a hospital (just in case I klutz it up!) and two blocks from an apparently-very-good Ethiopian restaurant. We’ll try that in the next couple days. And I have a great friend: Lulu, who is a very smart, super-hyper or super-asleep, ultra-cuddly, awesomely-cuddly mutt.

I slept in a king-sized bed with her last night. I got up to go to the bathroom, and then watched her get up, stretch, slide under the covers down to the foot of the bed, turn around three times (thus wrapping all the covers entirely around her and leaving NONE FOR ME), and then lie down with the apparent intent of going to sleep this way. She also started out on the entire other side of the bed from me and sloooowly migrated over until I woke up with her under the covers, cuddled up next to me. She is just a total goofy cuddle-monster.

I’ve been taking her out for an hour-long walk in the mornings, and then letting her get a bunch of back-yard time in in the afternoon, and it seems to be keeping us both nice and mellow for the most part.

Dog of the Day: Cosmo the Borzoi

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Adam Lang

Cosmo is a very aerodynamic space dog! He is also a three-year-old borzoi who loves everybody and is quite well-behaved.

I was driving down the street and I saw Cosmo and his mom crossing the street and looked around but didn’t see anywhere I could immediately park, so I was quite sad. And around ten blocks later I parked and began walking to my destination and… there was Cosmo! And I was happy. And so was Cosmo.

N.b.: I am not sure I am going to be able to go back to posting every day, but things have settled down now that I am fully moved out of my apartment (aside from some storage places where stuff can stay until the remodeling is over.) So most days, I think. Yay!

Borzois are so FLAT! No wonder they’re fast, they’re super aerodynamic.

I wonder if the long floofly fur adds to their air resistance at all?

Cosmo knew a sucker when he met one, and was a bit reluctant to leave me behind before I was entirely exhausted of pets.

I am having to (temporarily) move out of my apartment, and all my computer equipment is currently inaccessible, until I get into my temporary place.

Puppy of the Day: Fig the Klee Kai

Posted on September 22, 2023 by Adam Lang

Fig (6 months) is possibly the best name for a klee kai that I have ever heard, and Fig also has just about the most amazing markings of any klee kai I’ve ever seen.

I mean the mask is amazing but I keep getting distracted by the eyebrows.

Dog of the Day: Sophie the Goldendoodle

Posted on September 21, 2023 by Adam Lang

Sophie is 1, and a little bitty toy goldendoodle, but she’s a great big star: she has an adorable instagram page.

Look at those GIANT FEETS! She looks like she’s going to grow up into a 90-pound giant!

I gather she’s not getting any bigger than she is now, except maybe in personality.

Puppy of the Day: Ralph the Terrier

Posted on September 20, 2023 by Adam Lang

Ralph is four months old, and he goes around terrierizing everyone in sight. Right in the ankles. Go Ralph go!

Small Scruffy Terrier Mix Puppy
That’s a lot of wiry fur. I wonder if he’s part cairn or something similar?

Dog of the Day: Bedlington Terrier

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Adam Lang

Funny, I have run into a number of these pups, and for some reason they are the only breed I’ve ever seen where ALL of them have the standard haircut. Down to the goofy little pom-poms on the ears.

They seem like nice, happy, cheerful pups, and all the ones I’ve run across have been healthy.

I just can’t help but wonder if they actually have, y’know, binocular vision.

Puppy of the Day: Jif the Bernadoodle

Posted on September 12, 2023 by Adam Lang

Jif is 4 months old and is not, in fact, pronounced ‘gif’. He does, however, like peanut butter an awful lot.

Hey, honestly I’m right there with him.

Somebody ran a circle around that pole in his excitement to see me, and then he couldn’t come greet me. Goof!

I really did try to untangle him, but that would have required him to momentarily get a tiny bit further away from me, and that wasn’t an option.
