Dog of the Day: Filbert the Boxer

This is Zoey’s older brother Filbert. He is less neurotic but just as sweet.

He blends right in, doesn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Zoey the Boxer Again

I know I just posted Zoey last Friday, but I am totally feeling this picture. I was supposed to have a nerve-wracking surgery today, I lost sleep over it for like four days, and then it turned out they screwed up the schedule and now I don’t get to try again until mid-November.

I swear, I need a year off. Maybe a hundred.

Caturday Supplement: Zahar (Probably) the Kitten

I know for sure that this is the twin brother of last Caturday’s kitten, but I’m not really sure which one is which. So we’re going to assume that this is Zahar.

This one came out okay, but taking pictures through a window…

…is kind of fraught. Nevertheless, I think this one was cute enough that the reflection was worth it.

Dog of the Day: Zoey the Boxer

I dogsat for two boxers, Zoey and Filbert, a couple weeks ago. This is Zoey, and she is such a (hyperactive, neurotic) sweetheart.

She would come over and put her paw up like this, but she wouldn’t get up on the sofa until I invited her. SO CUTE.

Dog of the Day: Sugo the Siberian Husky

I ran into Sugo (4) and his mom and dad while I was out wandering before work one day last week. And it turns out that he is one of the mascots for a nice little restaurant on Fillmore Street, right at the top of Pacific Heights, called Jackson Fillmore Trattoria.

The restaurant doesn’t have any pictures of Sugo on their web site, which in my opinion displays a startling lack of marketing skill.

Dog of the Day: Prince the Border Collie Mix

I am told that Prince (8 years old now) is a ‘repeat customer’, that I’ve taken pictures of him before. I’m going to have to take his mom’s word for it, because I only have one ‘Prince’ in my picture history, and although he’s the right age, he’s very much not the right color. Oh well, at least I have his name now.

Border Collie Mix Looking Very Sarcastic
I promise he is nowhere near as sarcastic as he looks in this picture.

Dog of the Day: Oscar the Cocker Spaniel Puppy

When I stopped by the vet to say hello to the two kittens (last Caturday and next Caturday), I also found Oscar in for his healthy 15-week-old puppy exam. He liked watching the kitties as much as I did.

Is it just me or is Oscar… pretty big for a fifteen-week-old cocker spaniel?

Sunday Switchup: P(l)ants

I don’t really know what to say about these. So I won’t.

Caturday Supplement: Guddi (I Think) the Kitten

I was walking along Polk Street, past a relatively new veterinarian’s office, when I saw a little cutie peering out at me. So I snapped a few pictures of him and his brother, just in for healthy-kitten checkups. I think this is Guddi, and next week we’ll have his brother, Zahar.

They have an instagram account, but, and this is TERRIBLE, there’s nothing in it yet. Follow them, and then badger their folks mercilessly until they post MORE CUTE CAT PICTURES.

They were both quite friendly and gregarious for cats on unfamiliar ground.

Dog of the Day: Bailey the Photogenic Silver Labrador Retriever

Bailey gave me the exact opposite problem, if you can call it that, from yesterday’s pup, as you can see below: basically all you have to do is aim your camera at her and pull the trigger and you get something amazing.
