Dog of the Day: Snickers the Gigantic Bernadoodle

Posted on August 27, 2025 by Adam Lang

Snickers (3) is somehow bigger than many Bernese mountain dogs, at a whopping 110 lbs. He could tow you around town in a wagon. He could tow you around Lake Merced water skiing.

Black And White Very Large Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix — I’d love to walk Snickers, but I’d hate to try to walk him anywhere he didn’t want to go.

Dog of the Day: Stormy the Fooooofly Wiener

Posted on August 25, 2025 by Adam Lang

I love Stormy’s name, and also his velvety-soft (4-year-old) ears.

I still have a few more pics from the dog surfing competition to post. Soon, I promise.

Cat-Walk Supplement: Bi the American Shorthair

Posted on August 23, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into this cutie while I was out for a wander on Russian Hill. She’s only 1, but she’s fearless!

American Shorthaired Calico On A Leash — She loves her walks. We need more cats like her!

American Shorthaired Calico Cat With A Heart On Her Side — Did you notice that she has a HEART ON HER SIDE?

American Shorthaired Calico Climbing Stairs Outdoors — She let me pet her for a while but she got kind of impatient to get back to exploring.

Dog of the Day: Padfoot the Goldendoodle

Posted on August 22, 2025 by Adam Lang

A friend of mine is currently dating a woman from San Diego. I have never met her, but I have now met her dog, who my friend brought up to the Bay Area while she was out of the country. We brought him to the Surfing Championships, where he had a blast.

Surf Dog of the Day: Rosie the Labrador Retriever Tandem Surf Champion

Posted on August 21, 2025 by Adam Lang

Rosie won the human/dog surfing section of the great surf-off. She’s a local favorite, from Santa Cruz, and has a pretty neat instagram.

You can tell from the pictures that she loves what she does. Also, big shout out to her dad, who had to fight some really harsh waves during one of the competitions just to get out far enough for Rosie to get a run in. Looked exhausting.

An intermission from surfing dogs, to show off a few pups I ran across on the beach while I was surf-dog-watching.

Surf Dog of the Day: Uh Oh I Dunno!

Posted on August 18, 2025 by Adam Lang

This was one of the contestants, but I can’t for the life of me figure out their name or whether they won anything other than ‘most bedraggled-looking pup’.

Looked ridiculously sad and cold, but given that poodles were bred as water dogs, was actually probably one of the comfiest pups out there.
