Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever Puppy

I didn’t get this pup’s name or age, though if I had to guess I’d say three to four months.

Dog of the Day: Wrigley the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Wrigley is such a great name for a happy dog, isn’t it? And Wrigley (2, girl) is exactly that.

Dog of the Day: Midgie the Chihuahua Terrier Mix

Midgie (a girl, and one year old) is a little cutie. I’m not sure what she is named after: the only ‘midgie’ I knew of before I did a little googling was a nasty, tiny, blood-sucking insect from Scotland, and I trust that nobody is mean enough to name their dog after those monsters. Google says that ‘Midgie’ is the name of a dog from the series of books called ‘The Baby-Sitters Club’, so I am choosing to believe that she was named for that.

Midgie is a very curious pup, and doesn’t have the shakiness that so many of the smaller Chihuahuas do.

Dog of the Day: Raven the EARS OMG THE EARS

Raven (a girl, of unknown age) was found in Southern California, wandering around looking lost. When her current owner adopted her, the rescue said that Raven was a Mexican hairless, also known as a Xoloitzcuintli. And she looked exactly like one… except then she grew fur! Very short and soft and velvety fur, but fur nevertheless. So who knows?

Is it just me or do those ears look almost exactly like bat wings?

Dog of the Day: Hachi the Husky

Hachi is 8, and has had quite a life: he was born in a puppy mill, who then abandoned him along with the rest of the litter at an animal hospital when they cane down with parvo. Hachi was the only survivor, but he seems to be doing great now.

Dog of the Day: Maeby the German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Mix

I’m not 100% sure that this is the pup that goes with the notes I took, so: is this really Maeby (2 years old)? Perhaps! Is Maeby really a German Shepherd Lab mix? Possibly! Is Maeby actually a Rottie mix of some kind instead? …okay, okay, maybe!

Whatever she is, she sure has cute eyebrows.

Could be some pit in there, if not Rottie, with that square jaw.

Dog of the Day: Sassy the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Sassy (2) is pretty striking, isn’t she?

I bet straying cattle take one look at those eyes and just stagger right back into the herd.

Dog of the Day: Ruggles the Portuguese Water Dog

I don’t know where Ruggles’ (13 years old) name comes from (“Ruggles of Red Gap” maybe?) but I do know that he’s as shaggy as a 1970s rug and causes giggles when he licks you, so maybe his real name is ‘Rug-giggles’.

The goatee is amazing. Also, Ruggles doesn’t look anywhere NEAR 13, does he?

Tilly, Tilly, she’s a silly! She’s also eight, but she sure doesn’t look it.
