Dog of the Day: Madeline the Chow Mix

Well, I don’t know. She looks seriously chow-like to me, but her ears are floppy and her dad thinks she’s a mix. A mix with what? I haven’t the foggiest idea… something with floppy ears, I guess! All I know is, she’s super-cute, and super-friendly, especially for a chow.

Look at that tongue! I don't think I've ever seen a tongue that dark before. (I wonder if shoe polish was involved?)

Oop... the ears are semi-up in this picture. Maybe she's a full chow after all?

And here they're totally flopped down. Maybe she's just got convertible ears.

With a tail like that, who needs a feather duster?

Silly pup... dogs aren't supposed to smile like humans do.

No post tonight

I’m leaving Butter as ‘top dog’ for another day, to make sure everyone sees her.

ADOPTABLE Dog of the Day: Butter the Pit Bull/Lab Mix

Look at this: two Poms in a row, and now two pits in a row (though this one is only half-pit.) Well, there’s a reason for that: I’m posting Butter today because I just got these pictures, and Butter’s current family is looking for a new home for her. Please, if you know anyone who is looking for a dog, leave a comment (or have them leave a comment) and I’ll put you in touch with her current family. She seems like a real sweetheart, and I can’t think of too many better combinations than lab/pit. (IMO, of course.)

Half-Pit Bull, Half Labrador Retriever

Butter is about three and a half years old... so yes, older than her little friend here. Clearly Butter is good with children, which doesn't surprise me at all: well treated pit bulls are great with kids, and Labs are great with anyone.

Pit Bull/Labrador Retriever Mix

I love this expression. Kind of a neat picture effect, too.

Butter next to a full-blooded pit bull. You can see the differences in muzzle/face shape, if you look closely.

Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Mix

Someone's got awfully clean teeth! And is super-patient, too: my neighbors had a golden retriever who wouldn't let you do that without someone holding her head still.

Half-Labrador Retriever, Half-Pit Bull.

C'mon... how can you say no to that face?

Dog of the Day: Party Pit Bull

From the looks of those eyes, it looks like this pup had a little too much excitement last night! Don’t worry… he’ll be back to normal just as soon as he gets rehydrated.

Is it just me, or does he have a map of Central America on his side?

Dog of the Day: Chopper the Pomeranian

And, just to mix things up, that’s two Pomeranians in a row! This one is Chopper, a happy 12-year-old pup from the Nob Hill area. I sure hope I have his attitude when I’m as old as he is… relatively speaking, of course.

Two more pictures moved below the break.

Pomeranians in puppy cuts are adorable, but any dog that looks this happy is bound to be adorable no matter what his hair style. Also: look at that strategically placed paw action!

Dog of the Day: White Pomeranian

The white ones always fake me out. Fortunately, I have Autumn to set me straight.

Where IS Pomerania, anyway?

Dog of the Day: Catahoula Hog Dog Mix

This poor gal was terrified of everyone and everything. She kept edging closer to the curb every time someone walked by, even if they didn’t even look in her direction. Can anyone say ‘rescue dog?’ (Incidentally, she also looks like an Australian Brindle Hound, but apparently those are so rare that it’s pretty unlikely she is one.)

Two more terrified pictures moved below the break.

Perched delicately on the edge of the sidewalk. Fortunately, smart enough not to go out into the street.

Another disgruntled disciple of King Charles the Spanielhearted! (Two more pictures moved below the break.)

Dog of the Day: Two-Headed Wiener Dog of DOOOOM!

He guards the entrance to ‘heck’, of course. (Sorry for the late post: computer issues.)

Cerberus ain't got nothin' on him.

Dog of the Day: Venerable Golden Retriever

She’s retired! She just lounges in the sun all day, and people bring her stuff. (Second picture moved below the break.)

Golden Retriever

She was poised, delicate, and ladylike. And liked having her neck rubbed.
