Happy National Puppy Day!

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Adam Lang

How in the world did I not know about this?

Here’s a sleeping puppy in celebration.

Dream of national puppy day treats, little guy.

Double Dog Day: Our Hero and an American Bulldog

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Adam Lang

Aww. Our friend the Great Dane just wants to play, but I think this guy is totally ambivalent. He never even looks up when the Dane is galloping towards him.

I really thought the Great Dane was just going to run this guy right over.

I'm not a dog, and I'd be a little freaked out by having that thing gallumphing towards me.

He really doesn't look like he's used to being ignored, does he?

The American bulldog just didn't want to play. Looks like someone else does, however.

Triple Dog Day: In Which Our Hero is Teased by a Pair of Standard Poodles

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Adam Lang

Our friend the Great Dane from yesterday has found a couple of friends. He could handle either one individually, but when they gang up on him, he doesn’t have a prayer.

And from this we learn that standard poodles really are surprisingly large.

After a couple minutes of this they had him running around in circles.

Dog of the Day: A Damn Great Dane

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Adam Lang

This coming week is going to be pictures from a dog park that I took last month, and only now managed to clean off my hard drive enough to get them downloaded from the camera. Raw images are big!

Quite a lot of the pictures will include this fine fellow, so I thought I ought to, ah, let you see what was coming. As it were.

A fiery dog with the speed of light...

...a cloud of dust...

...and a hearty "WATCH OUT!"

The Lone Goofball rides again!

Dog of the Day: German Shepherd

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Adam Lang

Some dog park shots of a goofy dawg, to brighten your day. Autumn and I are both sick, so we need a little brightening.

German shepherds can look like such noble dogs, but they also can look goofier than pretty much anything else.

This gal was of the super-goofy-all-the-time variety.

Lighting problems. Sometimes they're unavoidable, when the dog owner picks the spot she wants the pictures taken.

This pup was really ball-obsessed.

Goofy dog. Don't you know dogs aren't supposed to climb trees?

She likes to take a water dish and drag it around in big circles on the ground. Why? Who knows.

Dog of the Day: Charli the Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix

Posted on March 19, 2011 by Adam Lang

Charli was a real snorg-hund… she has the ‘I just want your loooove!’ look down pat.

Patient, well-behaved, and yet very demanding.

Can't remember what he was staring at, but he was definitely happier here.

This is an experiment... the full-sized picture is too fuzzy to use, so I shrank it. It's definitely *better* small, anyway... just not sure whether it's 'good'.

Dog of the Day: Running Doberman

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Adam Lang

Not sure if I like this picture or not. Kind of interesting, at any rate.

So gangly. Gangle gangle gangle.

Dog of the Day: Mid-Sized Poodle

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Adam Lang

A little small for standard, a little big for miniature. Maybe he’s an adolescent or something. (Having looked this up now, apparently any poodle taller than 15″ is ‘standard’, so I guess he’s just a smallish standard poodle.)
