Doggie Bag of the Day

Posted on June 28, 2023 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name but he’s one of the cuter doggie bags I’ve seen lately.

Cloudy (one of yesterday’s pups) got snippy at this pup when he got too close. Guard dog!

Double Dog Day: Breezy and Cloudy the Shetland Sheepdogs

Posted on June 27, 2023 by Adam Lang

Two little (well, not all that little) Shelties for your delectation today. Breezy (black and white) is 2, and Cloudy is 14! Cloudy is a bit grumpy sometimes, but she seems to be doing pretty great, all things considered.

I ran into them at the farmer’s market, where they have an important job guarding the veggies.

Posted on June 26, 2023 by Adam Lang

Honey is 8, and is just as sweet as her name.

It’s amazing how m any new pups I run across within a block of my own apartment.

Swineday Switchup: Piglettes!

Posted on June 25, 2023 by Adam Lang

These two are cute enough to make a man give up pork… although, to be fair, I haven’t eaten much pork in years, so it’s not a big lift for me.

I ran across them on a farm in the Santa Cruz mountains. Amazingly, though, they aren’t the first pigs we’re run across on this site, though these are the first that didn’t have pink painted toenails!

They would make such amazing pigs if they never got bigger than this…

Dog of the Day: Bentley the Pomeranian Husky Mix

Posted on June 23, 2023 by Adam Lang

Bentley is 4, but he doesn’t just look like a puppy: he also has puppy-soft fur!

Dog of the Day: Rumpleminze the German Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog Whatever Else Mix Puppy

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Adam Lang

Living in San Francisco is funny sometimes. I wandered off in the direction of work this morning, only to find that there were a hundred or so police lining part of my route. I paused to see what all the fuss was about, and watched Biden drive by in the giant bulletproof presidential limo. All less than half a mile from my apartment.

Rumpleminze (3 months) was almost certainly not impressed if he happened to be around at the time, although if he was, he almost certainly did try to play with any police, onlookers, and/or presidents who happened upon him.

Be Rumpleminze.

Rumpleminze. That’s a new one on me. But, having looked it up, it sounds delicious.

According to mom, I was ‘taking my life into my own hands’ with those sharp puppy teeth. Amazingly, unlike in many other cases, I wasn’t even NEARLY perforated.

Dog of the Day: Greyhound

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Adam Lang

Ran into this pup the other day. Never seen a greyhound who was this spotty before!

I hear this pup was originally a lot more timid. I at least got a sniff. Maybe in a year or two I’ll get some petting in.

Dog of the Day: Marley the Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier Maltese Mix

Posted on June 19, 2023 by Adam Lang

I don’t think we’ve ever had two features of the same dog in this short a time before! But, just a couple of days after I posted a picture of an anonymous little cute fuffy dog in a window, I found him out in front of his place relaxing with his family, so I had to stop by and get the deets! Turns out his name is Marley, he’s around 12, and he’s not a maltie-poo: his mom was a Jack Russell Chihuahua mix and nobody knows about his dad. But I’m going to guess he was probably a Maltese.

So does that make him a ‘chalteezell’?

Caturday Supplement: Nameless Kitteh

Posted on June 17, 2023 by Adam Lang

I was at a farmer’s market today, and I saw a big sign that said ‘KITTEN: FREE TO A GOOD HOME’. Alas, I do not have a good home, clearly, since no home where you’re not allowed to have a kitten is a good home. But I do have a camera.

I guess a stray had a litter. Someone’s going to have a happier life, I think.

Dog of the Day: Small Fluffy White Pup

Posted on June 16, 2023 by Adam Lang

Maltie-poo maybe? I dunno. All I know is that I run across him in a window near home every once in a while, and that I should be emulating him, because although I was feeling much better this morning, I am feeling less better now. Blah. Colds suck.

Also, whenever he’s awake he barks at me when I walk by, so probably just as well that he’s snoozin’.
