Dog of the Day: Lila the Maltese

Posted on July 19, 2022 by Adam Lang

Lila and his mom were checking out Grace Cathedral when I went by a few days ago. Lila is 15 years old, and gets around okay, except on really long walks, which this was.

I have a real weakness for ‘doggie bags’.

She didn’t mind me petting her, but she really didn’t want to look at me.

Dog of the (Birth)Day: Summer the Golden Retriever

Posted on July 18, 2022 by Adam Lang

Today, Summer is a dog! She turns one year old today, and she is going to get a birthday cake to celebrate. Which is awesome. All dogs should get birthday cakes.

Golden Retriever Scratching Himself
Summer still has an excuse for acting like a puppy: he hasn’t had his birthday party yet so he’s officially still a puppy!

Somehow I doubt that he will have any trouble finding a different excuse tomorrow.

And we’ll all just keep forgiving him. Because he deserves it.

Dog of the Day: Sunny the Dachshund

Posted on July 14, 2022 by Adam Lang

A while back, I was poking through the San Francisco Patagonia Store, shopping for a nice packable jacket. San Francisco rarely requires a down jacket, especially for someone with broad temperature tolerances, but sometimes it gets cold, and it can happen pretty quick, so I always try to keep something with me just in case. It’s more often useful for people I am hanging out with than it is for me, but I like being helpful and prepared.

Someone else was shopping for a jacket too, or so I surmise. Sunny (1) was there, looking around quite interestedly.

I said, ‘wow, you don’t often see full-sized dachshunds these days’, and his owner said, ‘he’s not a full-size, he’s a mini who just kept growing!’

Puppy of the Day: Finn the Great Pyrenees Border Collie Mix

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Adam Lang

I ran into Finn (then 4 months old) a month ago. He is so utterly ridiculous that I had trouble picking pictures. And so I have finally decided that there is only one thing to do: post all of them. No captions or hovertext, just adorable fluff.

Oh, by the way, did I mention his hilarious, adorable instagram? Because you need to see it.

Double Puppy Day: Thor and Loki the Boston Terrier Brothers

Posted on July 12, 2022 by Adam Lang

Thor (in orange) and Loki (green) are the same age, six months old, for a very good reason: they’re from the same litter. And they are very much alike, despite the names.

This was the only picture of them where they weren’t blurry from moving so fast, and only because mom was holding them down.

Caturday Supplement: Bandersnatch the Tuxedo Kitty

Posted on July 9, 2022 by Adam Lang

Bandersnatch is a friend of Autumn’s. Or at least was, until Autumn found Bandersnatch trying to steal her drugs.

My god, those eyebrows/forehead whiskers are amazing. They have to be over five inches long!

Dog of the Day: Nova the Greyhound

Posted on July 8, 2022 by Adam Lang

Nova (8) is a big ol’ sweetie, just like all the other rescued racers that I’ve run across.

Took this one in Union Square one morning when I wandered through there before work. I really ought to get down there more often.

Dog of the Day: Oscar the Airedale Terrier

Posted on July 6, 2022 by Adam Lang

I saw Oscar (9) from a block away, and hurried over to ask, “Oh man, what breed is he? He looks like an explosion in an Airedale factory!” And it turns out he pretty much is.

Most airedales I see are pretty thoroughly groomed.

There are eyes in there, I promise.

This was a trick. He’s pretty good at staying like that, too.

Dog of the Day: Ozzie the Schnauzer Mix?

Posted on July 5, 2022 by Adam Lang

Ozzie (2) is really a schnauzer mix? Man, that’s wild!

Large Schnauzer Mix With Really Long Tongue
Every picture I have of Ozzie, his tongue is practically dragging on the floor. Wonder if he was named after Ozzy ‘the tongue’ Ozbourne?

I made a funny noise, and Ozzie tilted his head back and forth like crazy.

Dog of the Day: Chapo the Miniature Australian Shepherd

Posted on July 4, 2022 by Adam Lang

Chapo (1) likes putting his head on your knee, if you give him half a chance.

Almost forgot today was a Monday. Sheesh. Well, happy July 4th, everyone.

Miniature Australian Shepherd With Partial Heterochromia
One long sock and three short socks. Sometimes I can’t manage to match my socks either, so I can relate.
