Dog of the Day: Eddie the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Beagle Mix

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Adam Lang

Eddie is a whole lot of dog in a small package. He’s multi-talented!

Four more pics, now tucked below the break.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Beagle Mix

He's a very obedient pup... for perhaps fifteen seconds at a time. I'm sure that number will go up when he grows up a little more.

Dog of the Day: American Cocker Spaniel

Posted on November 6, 2010 by Adam Lang

Don’t look now, but there’s a happy cocker spaniel coming your way! (Just one pic tonight, since I’m feeling lazy.)

She's comin'! She's comin'! Better hide right now if you don't want your ankles licked!

Dog of the Day: Sammie the Foxhound (?) Mix

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Adam Lang

Sammie was a perfect lady, even despite her temporary impediment. Beagle/Labrador retriever was her mom’s guess, but those ears just couldn’t have come from that combination, I don’t think. Plus, her body and her head are very similar to that of a foxhound. I don’t know what gives her ears that special little loft, though: must be from the other side of the family.

Dropped two additional pictures below the fold.

I guess she does look a little less than happy with her 'cone of shame' in this picture.

Double Dog Day: Buddy and Gia, German Shepherd Mixes

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Adam Lang

Ran into this pair on the way to work a couple weeks ago. They look pretty similar, but they’re apparently not related. Nobody’s sure what Buddy (black and tan) is mixed with, and the guess I heard for Gia was ‘dingo’. Could be, I suppose.

So yeah. This was posted November 3, so it appears that I have survived the election with at least part of my brain intact.

Two more pictures moved below the break.

They look like brother and sister, don't they? The goofy one and the serious one.

Dog of the Day: Dachshund

Posted on November 3, 2010 by Adam Lang

I queued up this post Monday evening, so I wouldn’t have to bother (or bother you with my blathering) on Tuesday evening. So it is not necessarily evidence that I have survived the day.

Moved a second picture below the fold.

Double Dog Day: Pair of Cairn Terriers

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Adam Lang

These two are twins, and full of sibling rivalry…

(Also, vote, goddamn it.)

(Also also, moved two more pictures below the fold.)

Cairn Terriers

Cute and fluffy and just generally fairly disgruntled-looking.

Dog of the Day: Fiona the Goldendoodle

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Adam Lang

Fiona (Fi for short, never Fi-Fi or Feeferz!)  is more of a platinum blonde than ‘golden’, but she’s definitely a doodle.

Just hid the second picture below the fold.

Golden Retriever/Poodle? I would never breed those two together. I'd be worried they'd get smart enough to figure out how to drive.

Dog of the Day: Mo Jo Fluffernutter the Pomeranian

Posted on October 31, 2010 by Adam Lang

This cute and fluffy guy has his own Facebook page! He is also, from what I understand, a world traveller.

Stuck two pictures below the break.

Mo Jo is a poised gentleman. When his mom can get him to hold still for a second or two.

Dog of the Day: Sofie the Tervuren Belgian Shepherd

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Adam Lang

Apparently ‘Tervuren’, which was a new one on me, refers to the coloration and fur type. Another description of the coloration and fur type would be ‘gorgeous’.

I found this pup out on the Embarcadero with her dad. I reached out to pet her and she immediately retreated behind dad and peered out at me mistrustfully. And I thought, ‘wow, a shy Belgian shepherd!’ So I started snapping a few pictures, and kneeled down to get a picture on the level with her, at which time she came over and stuck her nose in my face and licked my camera. So, well, if she’s shy, she sure isn’t shy for long.

Stuck a second picture below the break.

Belgian Shepherds are one of those breeds that you just want to hug. Or maybe lie down and cuddle with in front of a fireplace.

Dog of the Day: Sophie the Glen of Imaal Terrier

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Adam Lang

Sophie’s dad didn’t really know what Sophie is… he said ‘she’s a rescue dog, and she’s some kind of terrier mix, I’m sure, but I don’t know what kind.’ I was pretty sure she looked like a Glen of Imaal terrier, but I wasn’t confident enough to bring it up with him. But I get back here and look it up, and sure enough, she’s pretty much the spit and image of a Glen of Imaal. Cute little thing, huh? And even aside from that she’s a very distinctive dog, because she’s probably one of the three happiest pups I have ever met.

Did I say happy? She’s ecstatic. She’s delighted. She has not only crossed the line into manic, she actually races up and down along the line, barking wildly, delighted that the line exists and just happens to be here and about the idea of line-ness in general.

Stuck another three pictures of Sophie below the break.

When I was introduced to her, she immediately ran over and looked up at me.

If that expression doesn't melt your heart, then allow me to suggest a competent cardiologist for you.
