Caturday Supplement: Patten the Store Cat(ten)

Posted on September 10, 2022 by Adam Lang

Patten is, and has been a while, the store kitty for Optical Works, near my house. He’s a pretty good greeter… most of the time.

Patten is a smart kitty, and does not leave the store even when the front door is wedged open because it’s 95F in San Francisco and nobody has air conditioning.

Where did this pup get all those ears?

So big and delicate that the sunlight shines through them.

He wasn’t entirely pleased with me staring at him. Poor pup.

This pup was doing a little fetching in the wet!

I don’t get out to the beach nearly as often as I ought to, considering it’s only 5 miles.

Dogs always look so different when they’re wet.

Sunday Switchup: Kelp

Posted on September 4, 2022 by Adam Lang

I really like this, but I tried it rotated every possible way and it looks upside down in every direction. WTF?

Caturday Supplement: Sebastian the ADVENTURE CAT!

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Adam Lang

Sebastian is three months old, and already out exploring the streets of San Francisco with his pop! And he LOVES it! He was like ‘oh hi please come over here and pet me now okay?’ and I, not being made of stone, was like ‘okay’.

Dog of the Day: Dashboard Husky

Posted on September 2, 2022 by Adam Lang

I was returning from the Surf Day and I stopped by a little tea shop in Pacifica on my way back. And while I was standing next to the Pacific Coast Highway, which admittedly was bumper to bumper at that point, I noticed that someone on the road was a little more permissive with his pup than I think I would be.

He just wandered back and forth in front of the driver. Even if it wasn’t a problem seeing around him, it still would be pretty distracting!

And yes, it really was in a moving lane of traffic, I am not making this up.

Dog of the Day: The Dog With All The Ears

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Adam Lang

Someone (German shepherd, although there might be something else in there as well) was blessed with an overabundance of earage.

Don’t have any notes. Can’t recall if she’s still growing into the ears, or is just ridiculous.

Certainly has ‘puppy energy’.

Dog of the Day: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix Puppy

Posted on August 31, 2022 by Adam Lang

This gal (?) was at the Surf Day. She might be a boxer mix, or a pit mix. She was definitely a licker!

Dog of the Day: Rusty the Surfing Min-Pin Followup

Posted on August 29, 2022 by Adam Lang

The followup pics I promised. I found Rusty chilling out after his competition. The groomer did a pretty amazing job on him, didn’t she? I mean, the spots absolutely look real.

In case anyone’s curious, Rusty’s mom dropped by in yesterday’s comment section and left a link to the groomer, Gabriel Feitosa, down in SoCal. And she also mentioned Rusty’s Instagram, RustyTheSurfingMinPin, which has some pretty cute pics. (But don’t take my word for it!)

I am absolutely in awe. Rusty actually seemed to LIKE his sunglasses.

The Last of the Surfers: Faith and Rusty

Posted on August 25, 2022 by Adam Lang

This is the last set of surfers I have for you. I was going to post them earlier but their owner suggested I email her because I wanted to know who had done the absolutely incredible paint-I-mean-grooming job on the little leopard, and she said she’d tell me. But unfortunately she put her email address into my phone wrong, so I guess I’m going to miss out on telling you that. Sorry!

I will, however, have some ‘followup’ pictures of him on the beach, tomorrow. And I did get their names (Rusty is the leopard). They won the ‘dog/dog tandem’ category!
