Reggie is a four-month-old ‘Havapoo’, which always seemed to me to be a rather cruel name for a very cute dog breed. And for a four-month-old, he’s pretty good-sized, too, big enough that I would have guessed goldendoodle.

I first ran into Arlo (2) a few months ago, but none of the pictures came out, so I’m glad I found him again.
Also I screwed up my back while dogsitting last weekend: put one foot down on a steel plate in the sidewalk, on a steep hill in the rain, and ended up flat on my back, seeing stars. It hasn’t been a very fun few days, although I think I’m over the worst.
Bandon (3) is named after Bandon, Oregon, a pretty little town on the coast, not far south of Coos Bay. He’s a blue merle, not something you see in Bernadoodles very often! It makes me wonder if there was an Australian shepherd in the woodpile a generation or two back.
Zoe is the lucky pup who belongs to the owner of En Vogue Grooming. The leg-warmers are a nice touch, don’t you think?
I saw this kitty in a window a few days ago. Not actually a black cat, but seems spooky enough for me for Halloween, and today (the 29th) is National Cat Day in the US. So this is a National SPOOOOKY Cat for National Spooky Caturday!
Reese (girl, 6 months) is a good friend of Gus.
GUUUUUUS! Gus is a two-month-old Labrador retriever service dog in training. He has a truly ridiculous Instagram which you should totally check out RIGHT AWAY.
