Bulldog

I love the puzzled expression. Then again, bulldogs always look puzzled.

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Adam Lang

Been a while since we’ve had an awesome Aussie.

Australian Shepherd

A very alert and noble expression.

Didn't take long to get a grin out of this pup, though.

Happiness is apparently a latte in one hand an an Aussie in the other.

Dog of the Day: Jasmine the Labrador Retriever Puppy

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Adam Lang

As much as I hate to sound like the stereotypical idiot, hey! It turns out there really is more to photography than having a good camera. I got a bunch of pictures of this gal, mostly interacting adorably with other dogs. But those dogs were really light colors, and she’s super-dark, and I ended up with some decent pictures of other dogs plus one vaguely dog-shaped blotch of utter darkness. I have included one below, both for illustrative purposes and because the expression on the other dog’s face is pretty funny.

Black Labrador Retriever Puppy and White German Shepherd Mix Friend

I'd be singing "Ebony and Ivory" here, except for the slightly freaked out expression on the white dog's face.

Labrador Retriever Puppy

Every few seconds the pup would run back to dad to make sure he was still there. Adorable.

Black Lab Puppy

She's still lap-sized. Not that Labs ever stop trying to crawl into your lap.

Dog of the Day: Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever Mix

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Adam Lang

Can you believe that this guy is the same breed mix as this guy is?

Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever Mix

They do have a few things in common: they're both big, they both have floppy ears, they both love everybody.

Half Bernese Mountain Dog, Half Golden Retriever

But Mulligan didn't have 'toehawks': the big fluffy tufts of fur that come from between a golden retriever's toes. Ridiculous.

Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever Mix

Another thing they have in common: they're very photogenic...

Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever Mix

...and they're both total hams.

Dog of the Day: Max the Pomeranian

Posted on March 5, 2011 by Adam Lang

I ran into this Pom the other day, and then again, I think, today. I think. There can’t be that many 14-year-old Pomeranians with puppy cuts in South Beach, can there?

Pomeranian

You would never guess that he was 14, would you?

Pomeranian

I used to think puppy cuts were cheating. Now that I'm getting older, I just wish there were such a thing for humans.

Pomeranian

His attitude helps too. He's not a 'run-around-yapping' puppy, but he's super friendly.

Pomeranian

He's also very curious.

Dog of the Day: That Doggie in the Window

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Adam Lang

Looks like a Maltese to me. No idea what goes on there, but whatever it is, I’m sure it is only improved by a pooch’s presence.

Maltese in a Shop Window

This is right down the street from our apartment. Never seen him there before though.

Maltese in a Shop Window

He looks very much at home there. Maybe I just don't get by there at the right time to see him.

Maltese in an Art Gallery Window

That's one self-satisified little dog.

Dog of the Day: Tucker the Shih-Tzu Mix

Posted on March 3, 2011 by Adam Lang

Tucker’s mom knew what he was, but we didn’t write it down and couldn’t remember the other half. Might be poodle.

Shih-Tzu Mix

Tucker loves people, and loves attention, and knows exactly how to get it.

Shih-Tzu Mix

That's Patricia Ross, a friend of ours, in the background. She's a professional animal-hater...er... no... ANIMATOR! That's right. Animator. Sorry, Rossi.

Shih-Tzu Mix

What a ham.

Seen in San Francisco: Cloudbreak

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Adam Lang

A couple people have complimented me on the title image for the blog, with the misty bridge. I was really only planning on keeping that up there until I got a suitable dog panorama to put there, but it does make me think maybe some ‘San Francisco’ images, to go with the ‘Dogs’ images, might not be a bad idea. I’ll still be posting a dog a day, but I will occasionally post some cityscape pictures as well. Like this one:

San Francisco

A little fog, a lot of clouds, a little sun... a pretty picture.

Dog of the Day: Tiny Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Adam Lang

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.

Yorkshire Terrier

So small, you'd hardly think there's room for a dog under all that fluff.

Yorkshire Terrier

Wonder what a Yorkshire Terrier would make of a Yorkshire Pudding?
