Maya is an Australian shepherd chow ‘et cetera’ mix, according to my notes. She’s five years old, and she is a star: she is a model on the site ‘freepeople.com‘, modeling an adorable dog bandana.
I gotta say, I think my pictures of Maya are cuter than the one on Free People.Dunno about ‘chow’. There’s absolutely no purple in that tongue.
Remy, like yesterday’s pup, is four months old. Remy, like yesterday’s pup, is ridiculously cute. However, Remy, unlike yesterday’s pup, was moving around so fast that almost none of the pictures I took actually came out.
This one was kind of blurry but too hilarious not to post.And there’s the patented corgi grin.
Agnes is four months old. Her folks are fostering her for Copper’s Dream Rescue, but they told me that they might just ‘foster fail’. And really, who can blame them, even if Agnes did get a weeee bit dirty around those little feetses.
No captions or hovertext today; too many cute pictures!
I saw Nemo’s dad come out of my local grocery store, where Nemo was tied up outside. Dad untied him and then started rooting around in his grocery bag, and I was expecting the dog treats to come out, but nope! It turns out that Nemo is very proud of his ability to help dad bring home the groceries.
Golden retrievers have ‘soft mouths’. I bet the bread isn’t even squished when it gets home.
I just ran into Num (5-ish) today, when she and her friend were wandering around Pacific Heights. It turns out the woman with Num was just cat-sitting for a while. Num is used to going out for walks every day, and has been since she was a kitten, so she took her out to Lafayette Park for some playtime.
Num has another awesome story associated with her, too, though. It seems that her mom was traveling in Bhutan five years ago. She was indoors in the evening, and heard some commotion outside. She opened the door, and a kitten streaked inside. Mom shut the door just in time to keep the wild dogs who were after her from getting in. And they’ve been partners ever since.
That’s a cat carrier on her back, but apparently Num is quite well-behaved and does not try to escape on her walks.It’s so hard for people to read cat expressions. That’s actually a friendly one. Ears forward but not fully pointing toward me, and eyes half clozed, saying ‘I’m comfortable enough that I don’t have to pay all my attention to you.’I spent more time petting the kitty than I did photographing her. Which is as it should be.
No idea what Ryker is named after. I should have asked. But I do know that he’s sixteen whole years old! He is a little bit stiff — and boy, do I know that feeling, given my shoulder bursitis — but he still gets around okay. (Also seems to have better eyesight than I do. Bah.)
His dad told me he was a ‘black and tan’ and I may have been a little hasty in filling in ‘coonhound’, but that’s what it says in my notes. Looking at him, though, he looks a lot closer to a Black And Tan Virginia foxhound, one who originally had no white in his coat but who has, like me, lightened up a bit with age. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what I’m going to go with. And if he is a Black and Tan Virginia foxhound, he’s the first we’ve had on this blog, ever! Go, Ryker, go!
Coonhounds are apparently one of the breeds with ‘pointy heads’.SCHNOZZ SHOT!
Max is supposedly a husky/Lab mix, but I don’t see a whole lot of lab in those ears! I would have said husky/white shepherd, or even a white shepherd with unusual eye coloration. I gotta say, though, his expression does look very… husky.
I can only assume that he had just spent an hour running around in circles crazily, because I am not used to seeing dogs just chilling out in the middle of Huntingdon Park.Hypnotic gaze. If slightly derpy.
