Dog of the Day: Leeds the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Leeds is 3. I don’t know if he came from England, or what he was named after if not. Maybe it’s just a clever pun?

Love the boots. Prettier than MY sneakers.

Dog of the Day: Unknown Mixed Breed

Saw this pup in a window. No idea what he is, but damn was he chill.

Dog of the Day: Oakley the Bernese Mountain PUPPY

I dunno, maybe Oakley (6 months, boy) looks like he’s wearing sunglasses?

Sunday Switchup: Brewer’s Blackbird

I wonder if they were named after someone named Brewer, or if they hang around outside of brewers trying to steal some hops?

This guy was watching me very, very closely while I was having breakfast.

I choose to believe that he was looking at the buckwheat crepe and not the scrambled eggs, because, well…

Caturday Supplement: Marmie

I went to the San Francisco Cat Show a month and a bit ago, and took some pictures with my spiffy camera. I just went looking through them, to find a black cat for BLACK CATURDAY, and discovered that there were not, in fact, any.black cats. Or, at least, none that I managed to get any shots of. Disgraceful!

Marmalade Tiger Tabby Cat
Oh well. This one’s pretty, don’t you think? He’s inside a cage with a clear plastic front, which explains the soft focus.

Double Dog Day: Shiba Inus

I went through my back catalog today, so I could post ‘BLACK LAB FRIDAY’, and I discovered two things: one, I have a LOT of unposted pictures of dogs, and two, I do not have a single picture of a Labrador retriever that I haven’t posted. Crazy!

So instead, have a couple of cute Shibas. I remember where I saw them, but I don’t have any notes. Oh well!

Red Shiba Inu Smiling
Despite their reputation, I don’t think I’ve met a standoffish Shiba in quite a while.
Two Shiba Inus
They were both friendly, I just had to wait until the black and tan one finished investigating something more interesting than me.
Black And Tan Shiba Inu
Never did manage to get the two of them looking in the same direction at the same time.

Dog of the (Thanksgiving) Day: Kelly the Boxer Mix

Kelly looks like an older version of yesterday’s pup, doesn’t she? According to a not-necessarily-reliable DNA test, she is a boxer shih tzu bulldog mix. I dunno about that…

I am thankful for puppies, and kittens, and all adorable creatures, both furry or not. How about you?

Someone looks a little … plaintive, hmm?

Dog of the Day: Charlie the Boxer Mix Puppy

Maybe Charlie (12 weeks, boy) is a boxer… pit, maybe? Not sure. He does look less confused than most boxers do, but he looks no less concerned.

See? Concerned forehead wrinkles.

The ears are really something too.

That is the expression of a dog who is planning mischief.

Dog of the Day: Saint Bernard

My notes here say that this pup is a six-year-old girl. But not what her name is. Quite an oversight!

Dubious-Looking Saint Bernard
She was even more awesome while she was galumphing around.

Caturday Supplement: Lily the Polk & Greene Produce Market Store Cat

Lily is the store cat of a deli on Polk Street. She’s usually not out to greet customers, but sometimes she feels the need to supervise.

Despite the expression, Lily likes you, and will show it if you give her half a chance.
