Dog of the Day: Sad Lab

Posted on September 28, 2010 by Adam Lang

I’m a little depressed tonight, so y’all get a sad Labrador retriever this evening.

One more picture after the break.

That's a pretty good 'pathetic pup' look, huh?

Random Dog Picture: Alaskan Malamute

Posted on September 27, 2010 by Adam Lang

She’s not really a ‘dog of San Francisco’ since I ran into her at the Sebastopol Celtic Music Festival, where I spent my weekend. But she’s definitely a ham, so she’s well worth an extra post.

Mom always knows the itchy spots best, doesn't she?

Dog of the Day: German Shepherd Mix (Lab?)

Posted on September 27, 2010 by Adam Lang

This gal is obviously a German shepherd mix, but mixed with what? Well, who knows. Could be Lab, could be a lot of things.

Another picture after the break.

Looks pretty happy. I suspect she knows a sucker when she sees one, and therefore knows when she's in for some serious skritching.

Dog of the Day: Sam the Pembroke Welsh Corgi/Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on September 26, 2010 by Adam Lang

With parents like a Pembroke and a Red Heeler, one might think this guy would be a gregarious tripping hazard to everyone around him. Sadly, he is a rescue dog who was pretty badly taken care of in his former home. He’s just starting to learn to trust again, and is fine with the family but very nervous around strangers.

Four more pictures, including two happy ones, after the break.

I may be reading into things, but that's a seriously sarcastic expression.

Dog of the Day: Young Golden Retriever Mix

Posted on September 25, 2010 by Adam Lang

A light post tonight, because I just got back from a concert and it’s already almost 2 AM. It took me 2 hours to get there, and an hour and a half to get back, and the concert lasted just over three and a half hours with a half-hour break. Which means there was more driving than concert. Plus I got two vaccinations and had blood drawn today, and am having some kind of allergic reaction to (probably) one of the vaccines.

And it was all worth it. Having Lunasa and Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill on the same stage in the same night… well, it’s like having the faces of both Jesus AND the Virgin Mary burned into the same piece of toast.

I’m sorry, that may have been somewhat tasteless. But anyway, you get the idea.

So here. Have a cute pup for the evening, and I’m going to sleep. Just the one picture.

Golden Retriever Mix Puppy

That's a pretty powerful package of cute. Hope it's enough for you for tonight.

Double Dog Day: Blix & Nani the Unrelated Twins

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Adam Lang

There were just too many breeds for these two to put in the subject line today. Blix is an Australian shepherd/border collie mix, and Nani is an English springer spaniel/Labrador retriever mix. When they were puppies, they spent a lot of time together, and everyone thought they were siblings because they looked so alike, even though they are totally different mixes.

Sadly, none of the pictures of the two of them together came out, so you’ll have to live with one picture of each of them before the break, and another picture of each of them after the break.

Springer Spaniel/Labrador Retriever Mix

Evidence suggests that Nani is the slightly goofier of the pair.

Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix

Blix is the slightly more subdued half of the team.

Dog of the Day: Sophie the Golden Retriever Assistance Dog

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Adam Lang

I met a woman at the farmer’s market at the San Francisco ferry building who was out with her assistance dog. Apparently someone had come up to her earlier that day and gave her dog some jewelry, pretty much at random. I suppose it was intended to go in a human being’s hair, but it looks pretty nice where it is.

Another picture after the break.

Golden Retriever

It matches her fur so well, it's like it was made for her.

Dog of the Day: English Bulldog Puppy

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Adam Lang

I always felt a little sorry for bulldogs. Why do they deserve to remind everyone of Richard Nixon everywhere they go? Lucky for this little gal, so far she’s kept the Nixon resemblance to an absolute minimum.

Two more non-Nixonic pictures, after the break.

English Bulldog Puppy

Bulldogs were what these harnesses were made for. With a neck that thick, a collar isn't much of a challenge for them.

Double Dog Day: Lab Mix with Bonus Pug Puppy

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Adam Lang

These two seemed to get along just fine, despite the fact that they’re so different that they might as well be two different species.

Another picture after the break.

You've got to admit, that's pretty cute.

Dog of the Day: Bumper the Young Old American English Sheep Dog

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Adam Lang

No, really. She’s young (only 4 months old!) and American (she was born in the USA, just like Bruce Springsteen) and half-sheep, half-dog… er, I mean, she’s an Old English Sheepdog.

Two more pictures after the break.

Old English Sheepdog

Yes, she's damp. She'd just come from the beach, I think.
