Dog of the Day: Luna the Shiba Inu Puppy

Luna is a classic pup name, but Luna the four-month-old shiba inu gives it a whole new shine!

She’s pretty big for a four-month-old shiba! Friendly, too.

Dog of the Day: White Siberian Husky?

What do you think? Is this pup a husky? If so, I’ve never seen one with that pink a nose! A pink-ish stripe sometimes, but never this bright pink.

Can’t be a full albino, either: no pink eyes.

Well, if she’s not a husky, I have no idea what she could be.

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Mix

Another pup from my visit to the Lazy Dog Bar. This one seems very appropriate for the location.

He looks like I’m feeling (well, minus the mustache), after four hours of sleep last night and six the night before. Blah.

Dog of the Day: Barli the Bernese Mountain Puppy

Barli is two months old. His name means ‘big bear’ in German, and I’m delighted to have met him before it became totally accurate.

Puppy-fro!

Don’t see too many Berners with the pink on the nose. It’s probably a ‘flaw’ according to the breed specification, which just goes to show what breed specifications are worth!

Dog of the Day: Brooke the Siberian Husky Goof

Brooke, also known as Brookie, is a three year old goof!

Her ears are STILL yellow because of a ‘tragic’ Halloween incident last year.

Okay, this is blurry. I still think it has enough character to be worth posting, don’t you?

Anyway, right, Halloween. Apparently she had her ears dyed to look like candy corn. Which is hilarious.
Siberian Husky Being An Incredible Happy Goof
It was water-soluble dye! It was supposed to wash right out. Apparently… not so much.

Sunday Special: BIRTHDAY BOY Apollo the Australian Labradoodle

It’s only been a week or so since our last birthday boy, but guess what I ran into while I was down doing some Craigslist-shopping today? Another one! I was outside of the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Cupertino, which I had never heard of before but which is a pretty amazing chain: doggie menu, outdoor seating for you and your pups, etc. I found quite a few dogs there, but Apollo was one of the cutest, and it turned out that he was turning one year old today, and they were there to celebrate!

Also, I didn’t even know ‘Australian Labradoodles’ were a thing. Apparently they can be a mix of Lab, poodle, Cocker spaniel, curly-coat retriever, and Irish water spaniel. I can’t even guess what he is, aside from adorable.

He’s definitely having a happy birthday.

Apparently one of the nice things about Australian labradoodles is that their fur feels super-soft, like goldendoodle fur.

Dog of the Day: Cleo the Siberian Husky German Shepherd Mix

This is Cleo, short for Cleopatra. She’s 18 months old, so she’s old enough to know better but not old enough to care.

German Shepherd Mix With Heterochromia
Not 100% sure he’s a husky mix… could also be an ACD mix. But either way, I love the eyes: it looks like he’s always winking at me.

Dog of the Day: Rudy the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix Puppy

Autumn’s family had a dog named ‘Roxie-roo’… well, this is Rudy-roo! He’s four months old, and full of wiggles and raw charisma.

I always mistake these pups for goldendoodles when I see them as puppies.

Rudy very much wanted to lick my face. He managed it a couple of times, too.

Someone really didn’t want to leave me.

Dog of the Day: Teddy the Rottweiler

Teddy is a vicious terrible monster! Well, that’s what Rottweilers were billed as a few decades ago. You can just see it in his eye, can’t you?

Rottweiler Looking Pensive
Teddy rested his head on my shoulder, the moment I gave him the opportunity.
Happy Rottweiler
Rotties are such big lovable goofs.

Bonus Dog of the Day: Rumor the Border Collie Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever Mix BIRTHDAY GIRL!

I know, I know, it’s Caturday, but I don’t have a cat to post, and anyway, I ran into Rumor today and it’s her fifteenth birthday!

I am proud of myself. I saw her and I thought, ‘Pretty sure I have seen this dog before’. And I heard her name and thought, ‘Definitely!’ And it turns out that yes, I have, in 2012! A full decade ago, and I still remember her.

I can’t remember to take my medications, and I can’t remember my damn appointments, but I can remember literally thousands of the dogs that I’ve taken pictures of. I have my priorities, after all!

One ear up, one flopped. Too cute!

She seems a lot happier to have her picture taken these days than she was the first time I posted her.
