Dog of the Day: Sunny the Dachshund

A while back, I was poking through the San Francisco Patagonia Store, shopping for a nice packable jacket. San Francisco rarely requires a down jacket, especially for someone with broad temperature tolerances, but sometimes it gets cold, and it can happen pretty quick, so I always try to keep something with me just in case. It’s more often useful for people I am hanging out with than it is for me, but I like being helpful and prepared.

Someone else was shopping for a jacket too, or so I surmise. Sunny (1) was there, looking around quite interestedly.

I said, ‘wow, you don’t often see full-sized dachshunds these days’, and his owner said, ‘he’s not a full-size, he’s a mini who just kept growing!’

Puppy of the Day: Finn the Great Pyrenees Border Collie Mix

I ran into Finn (then 4 months old) a month ago. He is so utterly ridiculous that I had trouble picking pictures. And so I have finally decided that there is only one thing to do: post all of them. No captions or hovertext, just adorable fluff.

Oh, by the way, did I mention his hilarious, adorable instagram? Because you need to see it.

Double Puppy Day: Thor and Loki the Boston Terrier Brothers

Thor (in orange) and Loki (green) are the same age, six months old, for a very good reason: they’re from the same litter. And they are very much alike, despite the names.

This was the only picture of them where they weren’t blurry from moving so fast, and only because mom was holding them down.

Caturday Supplement: Bandersnatch the Tuxedo Kitty

Bandersnatch is a friend of Autumn’s. Or at least was, until Autumn found Bandersnatch trying to steal her drugs.

My god, those eyebrows/forehead whiskers are amazing. They have to be over five inches long!

Dog of the Day: Nova the Greyhound

Nova (8) is a big ol’ sweetie, just like all the other rescued racers that I’ve run across.

Brindle Greyhound
Took this one in Union Square one morning when I wandered through there before work. I really ought to get down there more often.

He was very enthusiastic about saying hello.

Dog of the Day: Oscar the Airedale Terrier

I saw Oscar (9) from a block away, and hurried over to ask, “Oh man, what breed is he? He looks like an explosion in an Airedale factory!” And it turns out he pretty much is.

Extremely Fluffy And Scruffy Airedale Terrier
Most airedales I see are pretty thoroughly groomed.

There are eyes in there, I promise.

This was a trick. He’s pretty good at staying like that, too.

Dog of the Day: Ozzie the Schnauzer Mix?

Ozzie (2) is really a schnauzer mix? Man, that’s wild!

Large Schnauzer Mix With Really Long Tongue
Every picture I have of Ozzie, his tongue is practically dragging on the floor. Wonder if he was named after Ozzy ‘the tongue’ Ozbourne?

I made a funny noise, and Ozzie tilted his head back and forth like crazy.

Dog of the Day: Chapo the Miniature Australian Shepherd

Chapo (1) likes putting his head on your knee, if you give him half a chance.

Almost forgot today was a Monday. Sheesh. Well, happy July 4th, everyone.

Miniature Australian Shepherd With Partial Heterochromia
One long sock and three short socks. Sometimes I can’t manage to match my socks either, so I can relate.

Multi-Dog Day: CorgiCon

Posting some pictures from CorgiCon. I wasn’t able to get them all of my camera yet due to Technical Difficulties™ but I do have some pretty cute ones. Even if some of them aren’t exactly corgis.
