Dog of the Day: Arya the Goldendoodle Puppy

Arya is only nine months old, but she seems to be friendly with a healthy side helping of skepticism.

Whenever I play with a kitten I end up bleeding from multiple puncture wounds. And don’t mind a bit. That’s what hydrogen peroxide is for!

Dog of the Day: Ziggy the Keeshond

A giant FLOOFBALL! Ziggy (4) is a rescue from ‘Bay Area Rescue Keeshonden‘, a noble organization that I had no idea even existed until I met him.

Doing something a little different today: hovertext, because I know JUST what this dog is thinking, but no captions, because I have no idea what I’M thinking.

Dog of the Day: Honey the Australian Shepherd Terrier Mix Puppy

Honey (four months old) is as sweet as her name, and deserves all the petting she gets from random passers-by. Like me.

Dog of the Day: Lucie the Schipperke

We haven’t had one of these little awesome pups in literally A DECADE. Thank goodness that dry spell ends now, with Lucie (3).

Schipperkes are amazingly cat-like. They like climbing up on counters and jumping from one to another.

Dog of the Day: Bylka the Labradoodle

Bylka is four, and her name is the word for one kind of sweet bun in Russian. She is very sweet, and she has nice buns, so that seems appropriate.

She’s a big’un, too! Especially for a girl.

Dog of the Day: Dipsea the Central Asian Village Puppy

Dipsea (10 months, male) is an immigrant from Russia! He came from a little village, and was born with crooked legs. When he was shipped over here, they broke them and reset them so they’d heal straight, and now he’s fully healed and he can run and play with other dogs and go hiking with his mom and dad. Which is where he got his name: there’s a trail called the ‘Dipsea trail‘ in the North Bay, and it’s gorgeous and quite a rough hike. I’m sure he can run it in a couple of hours, but I’m lucky if I can limp it in a day.

Dipsea is also known as ‘Dipsy-Doodle’, although he isn’t a doodle and in my opinion he isn’t even all that dipsy!

Caturday Supplement: Dotty Parton the Bengal Kitten And Friends

Dotty Parton has just about the best cat name I’ve ever run across. She was 12 weeks old when I took these pictures, and was out for a walk with her best friend, Saidie the Rottie. (Sadie was born on Valentine’s Day of 2020, and is every bit as sweet as that would suggest.)

She seemed surprisingly into the trip, especially given that this was one of her first.

She liked meowing but was totally mellow and was delighted to let me pet her.

Dog of the Day: Somewhat Cynical Miniature Dachshund

She might look a little cynical, but I’m sure she has a heart of gold.
