I could just about handle having a Yorkie, if it weren’t for the high-pitched yaps. Other than that, they’re generally pretty nice dogs, and not too timid. And they’re undeniably cute.
So small, you'd hardly think there's room for a dog under all that fluff.
Wonder what a Yorkshire Terrier would make of a Yorkshire Pudding?
Yeah, I know, I post a lot of these guys. But every third person seems to have one, and it’s pretty obvious why: they’re great dogs.
Biscuit is 2 years old... old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.
Is that... carefully trimmed ear fur? Trimmed off at the edge of the ear?
Awww. That looks like one of those Japanese anime happy faces to me.
A pair of Macy’s window puppies, saved from this winter. I think they’re probably half Chihuahua… maybe we can get Autumn’s opinion on the other half.
Bet these two got adopted really quick. You have a huge advantage when you can even *sleep* that cutely.
Can't be full Chihuahua, they don't have the bulgy brow/eye thing going on.
You don't get a lot cuter than sleeping with your face smooshed up against the window.
Keep running into this pup, and he’s one of my favorites. I now think he’s a Finnish spitz/golden retriever mix.
I bet he sheds enough for a dozen sweaters a year.
It’s my birthday! And so I had to post an adorable puppy.
I ran into this guy in a dog park in the Inner Richmond. I gave his mom my email address, and told her that I’d post his pictures if she’d send details on him, because he’s adoptable (she’s fostering him) and a special-needs dog, and needs as much PR as he can get.
Sadly, she never got back to me, and I didn’t take any notes, not even his name. Sorry about that. I think he’s a Rottweiler mix, though, and I do remember why he was special needs: he’s totally deaf. Happy as a clam, though. And super-cute.
On a hillside entirely covered with sticks, apparently one of them was completely enthralling.
I think this picture belongs in the dictionary, next to the entry for 'puppydog eyes'.
And the puppydog eyes work, too. Hooray for belly rubs!
A challenger appears! This guy came over and wanted to play.
Those two had an absolute blast together.
Every time the puppy play-attacked, the pit bull flopped over on his back and allowed himself to be 'viciously savaged'. It was mind-meltingly cute.
Given the popularity of the 101 Dalmatians franchise, I’m kind of surprised how few of these I see around.
Is it just me, or does this poor pup look awfully disgruntled? It's just the arrangement of the spots, I assure you.
If I had a Dalmatian I'd name him Rorschach.
Those eye-spots just make the face look so grumpy all the time!
I dunno. I'm not sure I'd be able to live with this one. I'd be wondering what he was plotting all the time.
Update: if you can see this, you’re on the new blog!
Not that you needed telling, since it should look pretty different from the old one. (The theme I was using doesn’t seem to work properly with the new version of WordPress.) I’m also having some issues getting voting back up and running. We’ll see how long it takes me to do that.
Let me know what you all think about how things look, and if you see anything broken, let me know that, too, in the comments.
If nothing else, things should be a whole lot faster here.
It’s amazing how much the older dog here has lightened with age. I’m used to vizslas being a uniform chocolate-brown color, never seen one that looked more like a latte.
Edit: The owner chimes in below: these are Dino (the older, lighter dog) and Bijou (the younger.)
One thing I’ve never seen is a fat vizsla. I’m sure it’s possible, but they seem to have a pretty revved-up metabolism.
Is it me, or does the old guy look a little bit… cynical?
This one is for Anne Gearhart, a good friend of mine. She had a cute little stuffed dachshund named Waffles. Well, this Waffles isn’t a dachshund, but boy is he cute!
Stereotypical corgi expressions. Corgis don't *always* look like this... sometimes they're asleep, too.
Okay, sometimes they aren't grinning. But not often. And they still look goofy.
And there's the grin again. Also a good look at ridiculous ear-age.
That's Autumn petting Waffles, who looks very appreciative. Corgis have a lot of back to rub, too.
How do people with samoyeds keep them so clean? If I were a samoyed I would be a uniform light-brown color… I am just not capable of keeping myself that tidy.
These pictures were taken about 20 feet from AT&T Park, and not far from my workplace.
Look at the poofly tail!
She is such a beauty.
