Sunday Switchup: Brewer’s Blackbird

Posted on November 27, 2022 by Adam Lang

I wonder if they were named after someone named Brewer, or if they hang around outside of brewers trying to steal some hops?

This guy was watching me very, very closely while I was having breakfast.

I choose to believe that he was looking at the buckwheat crepe and not the scrambled eggs, because, well…

Caturday Supplement: Marmie

Posted on November 26, 2022 by Adam Lang

I went to the San Francisco Cat Show a month and a bit ago, and took some pictures with my spiffy camera. I just went looking through them, to find a black cat for BLACK CATURDAY, and discovered that there were not, in fact, any.black cats. Or, at least, none that I managed to get any shots of. Disgraceful!

Marmalade Tiger Tabby Cat
Oh well. This one’s pretty, don’t you think? He’s inside a cage with a clear plastic front, which explains the soft focus.

Double Dog Day: Shiba Inus

Posted on November 25, 2022 by Adam Lang

I went through my back catalog today, so I could post ‘BLACK LAB FRIDAY’, and I discovered two things: one, I have a LOT of unposted pictures of dogs, and two, I do not have a single picture of a Labrador retriever that I haven’t posted. Crazy!

So instead, have a couple of cute Shibas. I remember where I saw them, but I don’t have any notes. Oh well!

Red Shiba Inu Smiling
Despite their reputation, I don’t think I’ve met a standoffish Shiba in quite a while.
Two Shiba Inus
They were both friendly, I just had to wait until the black and tan one finished investigating something more interesting than me.

Never did manage to get the two of them looking in the same direction at the same time.

Dog of the (Thanksgiving) Day: Kelly the Boxer Mix

Posted on November 24, 2022 by Adam Lang

Kelly looks like an older version of yesterday’s pup, doesn’t she? According to a not-necessarily-reliable DNA test, she is a boxer shih tzu bulldog mix. I dunno about that…

I am thankful for puppies, and kittens, and all adorable creatures, both furry or not. How about you?

Someone looks a little … plaintive, hmm?

Dog of the Day: Charlie the Boxer Mix Puppy

Posted on November 23, 2022 by Adam Lang

Maybe Charlie (12 weeks, boy) is a boxer… pit, maybe? Not sure. He does look less confused than most boxers do, but he looks no less concerned.

See? Concerned forehead wrinkles.

The ears are really something too.

That is the expression of a dog who is planning mischief.

Dog of the Day: Saint Bernard

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Adam Lang

My notes here say that this pup is a six-year-old girl. But not what her name is. Quite an oversight!

Dubious-Looking Saint Bernard
She was even more awesome while she was galumphing around.

Caturday Supplement: Lily the Polk & Greene Produce Market Store Cat

Posted on November 19, 2022 by Adam Lang

Lily is the store cat of a deli on Polk Street. She’s usually not out to greet customers, but sometimes she feels the need to supervise.

Despite the expression, Lily likes you, and will show it if you give her half a chance.

Dog of the Day: Jackie the Alaskan Malamute

Posted on November 18, 2022 by Adam Lang

Jackie is 5, and she has so damn much fluff that I could hardly find her under there to pet her!

Is it just me or does that gentle leader look a little less gentle than usual on her?

Dog of the Day:Moon the Goldendoodle Puppy

Posted on November 16, 2022 by Adam Lang

According to my notes:

  • Moon is a 15-week-old goldendoodle (who looks like a golden retriever!)
  • Moon is a service dog in training!
  • Moon has adorable shoes! They are because some days the pavement gets awfully hot and his toes are very sensitive.
  • He has an instagram account. It says that it is ‘golden.moon or’. Or what, I’m not sure, but it’s not golden.moon, because that’s something else. Nor is it golden_moon, golden.moon.or, golden_moon_or, or… or or or. I can’t find it! So sad.

Too many cute pictures to caption or hovertext, so just enjoy, okay?

Dog of the Day: Seva the (Much Friendlier) Repeat Customer Korean Jindo

Posted on November 15, 2022 by Adam Lang

I first ran into Seva seven (OMG has it been that long?) years ago now, when she was “relatively calm as long as strangers stay at least ten feet away from her”, as her mom said.

Well, now she’s ten years old, and still as cute as all git-out, and she loves people!

Korean Jindo Smiling
I love a tale with a happy ending. (Or an ending with a happy tail!)
