Dog of the Day: Poppy the Pug Puppy

Poppy is only seven months old, but she has about a thousand years of happy stored up already. Can I have a little bit of that, Poppy?

Pug Puppy With A Huge Grin
If she grins any wider the top of her head’s gonna fall off!

Dog of the Day: Marshmallow the Samoyed

Marshmallow is continuing the fine tradition of naming dogs after foodstuffs. She is one year old, and speaking of marshmallows she would like one please.

Samoyed Lying On Concrete And Smiling
This is outdoors at a restaurant. There were some kids over at another table who spent the entire time gazing at Marshmallow, but their folks wouldn’t let them go say hello. I felt a little bad getting up and going over myself, but… not VERY bad. 😀

Dog of the Day: Lily the Collie Puppy

Lily doesn’t look much like a puppy, does she? But she is: she’s nine months old.

She looks like a pencil! So pointy and with a sharp black tip.

Dog of the Day: Memo the Chihuahua Mix

Memo is eleven, and a very gregarious pup.

If you look very, very closely you can see a hint of red on Memo’s head.

I asked what it was, and his mom said ‘Lipstick! It’s a SMOOCH MARK!’

I don’t think it’s fair that all these dogs have nicer jackets than I do.

Dog of the Day: Luna the Shiba Inu Puppy

Luna is a classic pup name, but Luna the four-month-old shiba inu gives it a whole new shine!

Smiling Four Month Old Shiba Inu Puppy
She’s pretty big for a four-month-old shiba! Friendly, too.

Dog of the Day: White Siberian Husky?

What do you think? Is this pup a husky? If so, I’ve never seen one with that pink a nose! A pink-ish stripe sometimes, but never this bright pink.

Can’t be a full albino, either: no pink eyes.

Well, if she’s not a husky, I have no idea what she could be.

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Mix

Another pup from my visit to the Lazy Dog Bar. This one seems very appropriate for the location.

He looks like I’m feeling (well, minus the mustache), after four hours of sleep last night and six the night before. Blah.

Dog of the Day: Barli the Bernese Mountain Puppy

Barli is two months old. His name means ‘big bear’ in German, and I’m delighted to have met him before it became totally accurate.

Puppy-fro!

Don’t see too many Berners with the pink on the nose. It’s probably a ‘flaw’ according to the breed specification, which just goes to show what breed specifications are worth!

Dog of the Day: Brooke the Siberian Husky Goof

Brooke, also known as Brookie, is a three year old goof!

Her ears are STILL yellow because of a ‘tragic’ Halloween incident last year.

Okay, this is blurry. I still think it has enough character to be worth posting, don’t you?
Siberian Husky With Heterochromia Sticking His Nose Into The Camera
Anyway, right, Halloween. Apparently she had her ears dyed to look like candy corn. Which is hilarious.
Siberian Husky Being An Incredible Happy Goof
It was water-soluble dye! It was supposed to wash right out. Apparently… not so much.

Sunday Special: BIRTHDAY BOY Apollo the Australian Labradoodle

It’s only been a week or so since our last birthday boy, but guess what I ran into while I was down doing some Craigslist-shopping today? Another one! I was outside of the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Cupertino, which I had never heard of before but which is a pretty amazing chain: doggie menu, outdoor seating for you and your pups, etc. I found quite a few dogs there, but Apollo was one of the cutest, and it turned out that he was turning one year old today, and they were there to celebrate!

Also, I didn’t even know ‘Australian Labradoodles’ were a thing. Apparently they can be a mix of Lab, poodle, Cocker spaniel, curly-coat retriever, and Irish water spaniel. I can’t even guess what he is, aside from adorable.

Woman Hugging Red Labradoodle
He’s definitely having a happy birthday.

Apparently one of the nice things about Australian labradoodles is that their fur feels super-soft, like goldendoodle fur.
