This guy seems to be having a good day.

Call me Rottie!

Dog of the Day: Chillin’ Husky

This guy surely has the right idea… he was just chillin’ in the San Francisco sunshine, and extracting a petting toll of all passers-by.  While I watched, he got at least four people to pet him, including one who gave him a tummy-rub.

Okay, I admit it, that was me.

Yes, I am da man.  Er, dog.

Dog of the Day: Two Norwich Terriers

I don’t have much familiarity with Norwich Terriers, but that’s what Autumn says these are (probably… they could also be Cairn Terriers).  This pair was curious and cheerful and not at all yappy.  I wish I could say the same of all of the terriers I met, but let’s face it, in a lot of cases it’s an awfully small step from some little terriers to little terrors.

Hey, do you smell a rat over there?

Dog of the Day: Vizsla

A somewhat nervous but still gorgeous Vizsla.  As always, if you know the dog, who was seen down near the Caltrain station at 4th and King, say something in the comments.

Also, if you know anything about Vizslas, I’ve always been curious about them.  The ones I’ve interacted with have all been a little shy, especially for a dog of their size.  Are they all like that?

Nope, I was told to stay on this towel, and I'm gonna stay on this towel!

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd PUPPY!

Two pictures of this adorably cute little fuzzy guy.  And I’ll tell you, he’s even cuter and fuzzier in person.

Adorably super-prosh slightly disapproving puppydog!

Dog of the Day: Giant Schnauzer

This guy is clearly Schnauzing for all he’s worth.  And I gotta say, he seems like he’s probably worth quite a bit.

I'm 70 pounds of pure Schnauzing satisfaction

Dog of the Day: Black German Shepherd

I love this guy.  Gorgeous, alert, happy, snuggly, poofly — he’s worth two normal dogs, especially on a cold night.  Ran into him in SOMA, around 8th and Howard, last summer.

I know I'm awesome, but it's kind of you to say so.

Dog of the Day: Australian Shepherd

A gorgeous Red Australian Shepherd for New Year’s Day.  He’s a little distracted, what with the petting.  I like to think he’s going to have a good year.

As always, if you know anything about this dog, feel free to pipe up in the comments.

Oh yeah, that's the spot, riiight there...

Featured Dog: Finnish Spitz

Let’s call him the Dog of the Year.  He’s pretty awesome dog, and one you don’t see every day: a Finnish Spitz.  I’ve run into this same dog a couple times in the same place, outside the Crossroads Cafe down in SOMA near the Embarcadero.

What dog plans or desires do you have for the new year?  Do you have any dog-related victories or regrets from last year?  Share them in the comments.  And look below the fold for two more pictures of this gorgeous pup.

Oh, hi there.  Can you tell I'm hungry?

Dog of the Day: Boxer Pup!

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post.  Things got pretty busy over the last week, and it didn’t help that I got sick.  And then there were the plane flights and so forth, and … yeah.  I know.  Excuses.  What can I say, I suck.

Anyway, to make up for that, have an adorable boxer puppy.

Lemmee sleep.  Carrying around a backpack three times your size is exhausting!
