Dog of the Day: Royce the Golden Retriever

We’re blessed: two days of goldens in a row. Royce isn’t quite as young as Toto (at 1 year old) but he’s just as friendly, happy, and, of course, itchy.

I’m doing all right, but I’d give a lot to be doing as all right as Royce is.

Puppy of the Day: Toto the Golden Retriever

I don’t think Toto (7 months old, a girl) is in Kansas any more, but I don’t think there’s an emerald city nearby either, so she’s going to have to settle for San Francisco. And San Francisco is glad to have her!

Toto spent half the time I was with her scratching herself with a paw and the other half scratching her back on the ground. Itchy girl!

Dog of the Day: Zeus the Labrador Retriever Hound Mix

Zeus (9) is, in this picture, an absolutely prime example of what happens when you drool and then shake: you get lines of drool across your snoot. A problem we all face, sooner or later.

Dunno what kind of hound. Coonhound, maybe?

Dog of the Day: Rosie the Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Ring around the Rosie! She’s four, and she may have short stubby legs but she can run rings around you!

I just noticed that there appears to be a rectangle cut out of the top of Rosie’s head and now I can’t unsee it. It really did look like that, I promise!

Sunday Switchup: L’Egg

I don’t have any animals to post on this lovely Sunday, but I do have something that came first. I hard-boiled half a dozen eggs late last year and I ate five of them and then opened the sixth and it was… magenta. Aggressively magenta. So I didn’t eat it. The end.

Purple Hard Boiled Egg
Funny thing: it didn’t smell weird, and it had the exact normal hard-boiled-egg texture. It was just… purple.

Caturday Supplement: Stealthy Macy’s Window Kitten

I promise, there really is a kitten in the picture! You just have to look very closely to find her.

Kittens are so stealthy!

Dog of the Day: Boston the Bernadoodle

Boston is one, and like most one-year-old pups, is old enough to know better but not quite old enough to care.

He reeeeeally wanted to give me smooches.

Puppy of the Day: Jackie the German Shepherd

Jackie is only six months old, but she is clearly a mean nasty vicious puppy!

Vicious-Looking German Shepherd Puppy
There are a lot of places that consider German shepherds to be ‘dangerous dogs’.

Personally I think most people are more dangerous than pretty much any dog.

Dog of the Day: Tiny the Slightly Grizzled And Nearly Wooly But Decidedly Not Tiny Malamute

Tiny (boy, 9) is a little bit worn, sure, but he’s still in great shape: likes long hikes, still has great teeth. And although he’s not actually a wooly malamute, he’s also definitely got a heck of a thick coat. But what he isn’t is ‘tiny’. He’s probably got more muscle than a body-builder and a half!

Malamute
I haven’t posted a malamute in… three YEARS? Gosh I’m glad I found Tiny!

Dog of the Day: Pasquale the Australian Shepherd

Pasquale is 3, and with those eyes I bet he can charm the sheep right out of the trees! (Ssh. I’m on a roll.)

I bet the tiny goatee and mustache help too!
