Shiba Inus may be the foxiest of dogs. I don’t mean they’re the most attractive (though they are in the running) but they may be the ones that look most like foxes. It’s a pity they’re so standoffish a lot of the time. This one wasn’t, though. He ran right up to me, tail a-wag, and said hello. (Two pictures this time.)
The world, I firmly believe, needs more highly social Shiba Inus.
It took me a little while to get him to stop sniffing me long enough for me to get a good shot.
Look at that face. Look at that face!
The tail's pretty good too.
Last year, for a while, when I walked to work down Pacific Avenue, I walked past a law office. And in the window of that law office, often anyway, there was a kitty! Autumn and I took to calling her ‘Lawkitty’, as in ‘Lawkitty will be happy to represent you, for the low price of three mackerel!’ and ‘Lawkitty is sorry you lost your case, but will console you with cuddles.’ That’s when these pictures were taken.
A couple months after the first time we saw her, we noticed someone carrying stuff out of the office. It was Andrew S. Cantor, the attorney in question, moving out of the office. It turns out that it was rented to him as a ‘live/work space’ but is classified as commercial. Really dumb thing to do to a lawyer.
Anyway, it turns out this kitty’s name is really Eppi. She’s a real sweetheart. And Andrew is a neat guy, and seems to know his way around the law. You could do a lot worse than talk to him if you need a lawyer.
Eppi was initially somewhat shy.
Sorry about the late post. Big party last night. No dogs, though.
This fellow kind of looks like a Dalmatian mix, but his owner assured me that he isn’t. However (how embarrassing), I’ve forgotten what his owner says he is. Autumn thinks he looks like an English Pointer mix, so we’ll go with that.
A canine master of the sidelong glance.
An adorable little corgi, to celebrate my victory over the mean, nasty demons of WordPress.
Four friggin’ hours later.
Well, after getting warnings left and right about how the old wordpress was being hacked, and that I should upgrade to the new version as soon as possible, after putting it off for a month, I finally went ahead and did it. The automatic upgrade didn’t work (because it doesn’t appear to understand the concept of wordpress being at the root of dogsofsf.com but not being at / on my hard drive), so I did the manual one, and everything seemed to work just fine.
Except for one thing: now I can’t upload pictures, or video, or audio, or any files at all. I click, and nothing happens.
So there won’t be any more dogs until I can fix this. I’ll try to do it as quickly as I can.
I really like Weimaraners. They’re very distinctive dogs, and seem just as playful and happy as a lot of the more common breeds. Only thing I’d worry about is… their fur is so short! Do they get along okay in the cool wet San Francisco winters?
A very direct gaze from a very pretty dog.
Just for Anne, a dachshund… or, in this case, a wiener dog dog shadow!
Just me an' my shadow, strollin' down the avenue...
I really like this guy. He’s slender and rangy and obviously delighted to be out for a walk.
Every walk is a new adventure.
Don’t see too many of these guys around, but they seem quite nice. Cuddly, a lot like labs and goldens but distinctive enough that most people can tell the difference. And this guy was very well-behaved, too.
Chillin' on the sidewalk, watching all the dogs go by.
