The Dogs of San Francisco

Dog of the Day: Boston the Dachshund

Posted on September 22, 2022 by Adam Lang

Boston, 3, was a bit shy around me, if I recall correctly.

Black And Tan Miniature Dachshund Next To A Fire Hydrant — Yes, it’s definitely a small dachshund. But it is also quite a large hydrant.

Black And Tan Dachshund Looking Nervous — Tail tucked, and definitely looking a little dubious.

Black And Tan Dachshund — Also maybe a liiiitle bug-eyed. Perhaps there’s some pug a few generations back.

Dog of the Day: Klezmer (aka Frank) the Irish Setter

Posted on September 20, 2022 by Adam Lang

Klezmer is his real name, and he’s ten years old and a huge sweetie. But there are apparently a lot of people who don’t know what ‘Klezmer’ means, so his mom had to give him a nickname that people could understand.

Happy Irish Setter Sitting On A Concrete Abutment — The building in the background is the snack bar atop Telegraph Hill. Apparently the person who runs it gives out really yummy dog treats. And takes dog pictures. I’ll have to go back when it’s open, for one or the other.

Smiling Irish Setter Face — When I heard his name, I said, ‘Oh, is he a musician?’ But his mom didn’t hear me clearly, and said, ‘No, he’s an Irish Setter.’

Dog of the Day: Emma the Shetland Sheepdog

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Adam Lang

Emma is fifteen. That means that if I’d posted her on the first day that this blog was around, she would have still been three years old. Despite that, she is getting along rather better than this blog is. She can still see, she can still hear, and she can still take long walks and run and play.

Blue Merle Shetland Sheepdog Tilting Her Head To The Side — I like going out for a walk before work, but honestly I’d prefer going out for a walk INSTEAD of work, so I could follow Emma here around for an hour or two if I felt the need.

Blue Merle Sheltie Looking A Little Goofy — I guess her folks might have something to say about that, huh?

Posted on September 13, 2022 by Adam Lang

Brom is five months old and a little rascal.

Siberian Husky Puppy Staring Intently Into The Camera — That’s a very… intense stare.

Dog of the Day: Eddie the Dachshund

Posted on September 12, 2022 by Adam Lang

Oh no! Eddie’s dad recognized me and told me I’d taken pictures of him before, years ago, and even posted them, but I must not have gotten his name because I can’t find him! The perils of a web site with TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOGS on it.

Anyway, Eddie is now 17, and no longer as sprightly as he once was, but he’s still just as interested in going out and socializing. So sometimes he walks, and sometimes he hitches a ride.
