Dog of the Day: Dexter the Repeat Customer Beagle Dachshund Mix

I saw Dexter and wandered over to say hello, and despite the fact that neither he nor I have run across him since ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO, she recognized me, and after she reminded me, I even remembered taking some pictures of him, in a Starbucks down town. He was a Macy’s window pup in 2010, so he is very nearly as old as our dear blog.

Dexter has, in the last ten years, aged rather less noticeably than I have.

I can’t tell you how nice it was to see a pup this healthy and happy who has been around as long as da blog!

It was even tough getting him to settle down for a photo. At fourteen!

Dog of the Day: Nico the Siberian Husky

Nico is 1, and quite a goof, don’t you think?

Siberian Husky Tilting His Head To The Side
I have a funny noise that makes about a third of dogs tilt their heads. It’s AWESOME.
Siberian Husky With Puppydog Eyes
Huskies really have that ‘puppydog eyes’ thing down pat.

They also have the most ridiculously smug expressions ever.

Dog of the Day: Archie the Sheepadoodle

Archie (1) is a good name for today, because I was just recently thinking about “archy and mehitabel” (the only cockroach-and-cat double act that I know of, at least from the early 20th century, and well worth the read of not just that poem but the rest of their oeuvre as well).

Archie is not a cockroach. He is a floofy sheepadoodle.

Archie is NOT shy. He was stopping traffic for the dog toll as thoroughly as he was able.

Dog of the Day: Gus the Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix

Gus! My notes say ‘Gus 1 Bernadeedle 7’. I’m not sure what this means. It can’t be a score, because Gus is clearly a winner.

Bernadoodle Looking Dignified
Such a lot of floof!

Yeah pretty sure the ‘1’ is correct.

A relatively recent addition to the San Francisco skyline, the Transbay Tower has some pretty funny effects on Karl, our resident fog.

Double Dog Day: Abigail and Gus the Smooth Coated Brussels Griffon

These two are only my second and third smooth-coated Brussels griffons, and I didn’t even recognize the breed! Gus (in the blue) is 4, and Abigail is 3, but they both have the same parents. And unlike many brothers and sisters, they get along great!

Two Smooth Brussels Griffons
These two were MURDER to photograph. How can they be blurry even when they’re standing still?

This one didn’t come out too bad.

This four-year-old is definitely the first ‘Bill the Dog’ I’ve ever met, and boy, is he a distinctive one!

Dog of the Day: Bodie the German Shepherd Chow Cocker Spaniel Hound Mix

Bodie (7) has a funny note on her too: it says ‘crazy genes’. Crazy AWESOME, I’d say!

Apparently he’s a quarter chow but has no purple whatsoever on her tongue. Sounds crazy so far.

He also looks a little border-collie-y to me.

Okay Bodie, you can have some bone broth.

Dog of the Day: Benjo the Australian Shepherd

Ben-JO! Here are the notes I have on him: Benjo: 2 male Aussie eats everything

My kinda pup!

Australian Shepherd Grinning
I wish I could ‘eat everything’ and still stay that slim.
