Dog of the Day: Lily the Chihuahua

Lily is 9, and likes exercise, but sometimes has some trouble keeping up.

She likes keeping an eye on everything going on around her, and this way she’s a lot higher off the ground, and can see further.

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever

This pup was tethered outside of a local grocery, saying hi to all the passers-by.

Dog of the Day: London the Dalmatian Great Dane Mix

A post-Christmas Christmas tree, with a very merry dog.

London’s mom tied him up there so she could take the same pictures I took, pretty much.

Dog of the Day: Loki Chaos Malligator MacAlistair III the Belgian Malinois Puppy

Yes, 11 months old is kind of stretching the definition of ‘puppy’, but Loki still thinks of himself as one, so who am I to judge?

Also, don’t you love his name?

Loki is in training to be an assistance dog. Apparently he works hard AND plays hard!

Double Dog Day: Hank the Husky and Ruby the German Shepherd

Hank (2) and Ruby (1) are really good friends. You can tell by the vicious snarls… and the fact that neither of them take them seriously.

Such drama!

I mistook Hank for a white shepherd, even with the blue eyes. Pretty solid for a husky. (One might even say… husky!)

Dog of the Day: Geo the German Shepherd Mix

That’s who I think this is, anyway. Although if he’s really half German shepherd, the other half must be something with ears that fasten under his chin!

He was also kind of… nervous for a German shepherd.

God that expression.

Those ears are so distinctive. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything quite like that.

Dog of the Day: Ruth the Catahoula Leopard Dog Pit Mix Puppy

Finally feeling better, more or less, aside from the laryngitis. Hopefully that’s gone tomorrow.

In the mean time, here’s Ruth. She’s seven months old, and quite big. Supposedly she’s half Catahoula hog dog (also known on this blog as ‘Hula-Hula Cat-Dog’) and half pit. Pretty intense, isn’t she?

I dunno. Could be a Catahoula mix, but could just be an Australian cattle dog mix.

Could also be some other kind of hound mix. Bluetick Coonhound, maybe?

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kittens

It’s so nice to be able to post some more Macy’s window kitties! I don’t know how I lived without them for two whole years.

Tuxedo kitties! One with a fully black face, one with a white chin, and one with a racing stripe. Such a perfect little trio.

Dog of the Day: Appa the Golden Retriever

It’s been a while since we had a golden on here. Appa (2, a boy) is a lovely example of the breed. I’ll also have a couple of extremely goofy examples pretty soon, since I spent Christmas at Autumn’s family’s place, and her folks have a pair of goldens, as well as an Irish setter/poodle mix. Who is even goofier than the goldens, and that’s saying something.

Man And Golden Retriever Who Look Like They Are Dancing
I caught up with Appa and his dad in Union Square, not far from the Christmas ice-skating rink there. I wonder if they were practicing couples skating?
Happy Golden Retriever
Gotta love the smile.
