Dog of the Day: Dusty the Basset Fauve de Bretagne Repeat Customer

I was pretty sure I’d seen a pup of this breed before, so while his day was there I took a quick look, and wouldn’t you know it? I ran into Dusty before, about seven years ago! He’s 10 years old now, but hasn’t slowed down much!

Ran into him outside my favorite local kebab place. Pretty sure he was hoping for some sharing of the wealth.

Dog of the Day: Banana the Extremely Popular French Bulldog Puppy

Banana (4 months) just heard that French bulldogs have, for the first time, taken the ‘most popular dog breed in the US’ crown away from the Labrador retriever. He is justly proud of the accomplishment.

Sorry about the site difficulties. It has been a remarkably annoying couple of days.

I dunno, don’t tell Banana but I think I still like wrestling with Labs more t han with Frenchies.

Dog of the Day: Louis (‘Loo-ie’) the English Bulldog

Louis is 1, and even though he’s an English bulldog, his name is all French-y!

Amazing pose. He couldn’t have done better if he’d been listening to my instructions.

Dog of the Day: Chevy the Cane Corso Puppy

I see so few of these that I had no idea what I was looking at. Mastiff? Boxer? Nope! Chevy (5 months) is a cane corso, and is gonna be L.A.R.G.!

Dog of the Day: Teddy (Bear?) the Poodle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Mix Puppy

Teddy (4 months old) is a perfect picture of a teddy bear. Think that’s what he was named after? Yeah, me too.

I bet he’s kind of… a handful. (Sorry, sorry, couldn’t resist.)

I refuse to believe a pup with that much fluff really needs a fleece jacket.

Dog of the Day: Penelope the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Penelope (3) is built for inclement weather: stocky and with lots and lots of floof. And it’s been a great few months for her around here.

Puppy of the Day: Schatzi the Speckle-Nosed Face-Licker

Don’t you tell Schatzi (3 months) that that’s not a breed. Mom’ll say he’s a ‘boxer’ but I didn’t see him doing any boxing, I just saw him doing a lot of face-smooching. Mostly mine.

Ran into Schatzi on Valentine’s Day. Which seems amazingly appropriate.

Mumble

Ran into a great St. Patrick’s Day pup today: Blue the Irish Terrier. And although he tried really hard to not face me in any of the pictures, I got two perfectly full-face pics.

One was ridiculously blurry, because my hand was moving. And the other half, I cut off most of his torso and legs and just got a crooked head.

Between him and me, we did a pretty great job of sabotage. Oh well, happy belated St Paddy’s anyway.
