Dog of the Day: Sweet Soulful Black Lab

I found this pup outside of a restaurant a while back. He is very sweet, and a very, very good boy.

If you look closely you’ll see that the leash is just dangling there. If he took a couple steps it would just fall off the railing. So, like I said… a very, very good boy.

Double Dog Day: Miso the Shiba Inu and Alplie the Scruffenpupper

These two are siblings — adopted, of course — and the best of friends.

Pictures from ‘The Panhandle’, which is a spot in SF where people mostly don’t panhandle.

It’s also a place that I hadn’t posted any pictures from until last week, in the decade-plus that this site had been going.
Shiba Inu With Eyes Closed Looking Very Kawaii
It’s a pretty spot, and there are lots of dogs. I should wander down there more often.

Unusual to find a pair where the shiba inu is more sociable than the little scrappy terrier.

There you have it: fluffenpupper and scruffenpupper.

Catty Mew Year’s Day!

Happy New Year’s! I hope this one works out better for the world than the last couple did.

This is a kitty cutie owned by a friend of Autumn’s. Check out that coloration! Never seen anything like it before.

Calico Tabby With Grey And Orange Patches
Calico Tabby, apparently. Although I’ve never seen one with grey rather than black, let alone one with that pattern. Gorgeous!

Dog of New Ears Eve: Marcello the Floofy Something Or Other

Happy New Ears Eve! Nobody knows quite what Marcello is, aside from giantly floofy and adorable. I’m guessing golden retriever, but I’m really not sure what else. Husky, maybe?

He is a total fluffy teddy bear. Calm and friendly.

Anyway I vote him most likely to be found keeping me warm at night.

Dog of the Day: Jimmy Buckets the Labrador Retriever Mix

I love the name! Jimmy is 8, and the name came about this way: his folks moved from Europe (Germany, IIRC) to Chicago, and immediately started watching basketball. And one of their favorite Chicago players was named Jimmy Butler, nicknamed ‘Jimmy Buckets‘. So when they got a pup, it was a natural name. Then they moved to San Francisco and the basketball player moved to Miami but the dog stayed with them. Good thing, too!

I don’t know what he’s mixed with, but whatever it was gave him some amazing ears.

Sunday Switchup: Silhouette

Saw this on a building I wandered by on the 24th. I really wanted to make a construction paper Santa hat to put on him for the holidays, but it was a couple of miles away from my apartment and I’m lazy. Alas!

Meowry Catsmus Supplement (With Bonus Happy New Dog!)

I ran into an adorable pair of pals when I was out and about on Christmas Eve, and since one of them is a cat and Christmas falls on a Caturday this year, I just HAD to post some pictures of them. So, meet Uni (the 1-year-old cat) and Freddy (the 8-month-old golden retriever). They are brothers, as evidenced by their adorable instagram page, titled ‘Freddy Uni The Brothers‘.

Uni was a little freaked out because apparently a bunch of people tried to pet him earlier, so I didn’t push my luck. I wish I could have gotten a good picture from above, though, because he has the most gorgeous ‘frosted’ ears. You should go look at them on his Instagram!

This, of course, is Freddy. Who was a minor miracle, at least with me: an 8-month-old golden who was delighted to meet me but who DIDN’T jump all over me!
