Dog of the Day: Mocha the Bernadoodle

Posted on November 8, 2021 by Adam Lang

It constantly surprises me how quickly new mixes take off. Five years ago, Bernese/poodle mixes were vanishingly rare. Now I see a pup like Mocha (1, boy) several times a week.

They’re an awesome mix, I must admit. A lot like Berners, except they live a lot longer.

Even if they are a little exuberant sometimes.

Sunday Switchup: Rare Flower

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Adam Lang

I ran across this rather unusual flower while I was out wandering a couple of weeks ago. Pretty, don’t you think?

Man. Brutal vaccine reaction, followed by eighteen hours of work over this weekend. I need a vacation. Instead, I have a lot to do Monday and Tuesday to put my work in order, getting ready for surgery Wednesday. (Very low-risk, so I’m not worried, but quite unpleasant, so I’m nervous.)

Unghhh

Sorry. I got my booster shot yesterday, and I am so far from my best that I can’t see it from here even on a clear day. More posts soon, I promise.

Dexter (3) has his own instagram: @barkrangerdexter! He totally should be a San Francisco Pup Scouts leader!

Sunday Switchup: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

Posted on October 31, 2021 by Adam Lang

I haven’t seen these guys close up for a couple of years, though I do hear them quite frequently. But Autumn was lucky enough to have them visit her while she was dogsitting last week.

Three Of San Francisco's Wild Cherry-Headed Conures
They’re ‘cherry-headed conures’. Also known as the ‘red-masked parakeet’. How did I live this long and not know that parakeets were a subset of parrots?

They are very smart, and very goofy, birds.

Dog of the Day: Vizsla Passenger

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Adam Lang

This is apparently a friend of yesterday’s pup, although I didn’t find out anything more about her than that.

Haven’t gotten any car-window pictures in AGES.

Pretty sure she was looking past me to her friend the poodle here.

Dog of the Day: Charlie the Standard Poodle

Posted on October 28, 2021 by Adam Lang

Charlie is 13 years old, and a very, very good boy. He was named after the dog in the book Travels with Charley, although I have the name down spelled differently. Can’t remember if I got it wrong or if his folks took liberties. Whichever, he’s very much his own dog.

This is when Charlie got a glimpse of the dog I’m going to be posting tomorrow, who is apparently a friend of his.

Dog of the Day: Maybe Woods the Possibly Minpin Mix Probably Puppy

Posted on October 27, 2021 by Adam Lang

These were taken on the same day as the dog with the … amusing note from yesterday. So I’m not entirely sure, but I think this might be Woods, the six-month-old miniature pinscher mix.

According to his mom, he’s quite strong for a dog his size, and tries to drag her around.

A little bit hyper, isn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on October 26, 2021 by Adam Lang

I don’t know anything about this pup. I do have a note regarding the day that I took these pictures, but it’s a bit… cryptic. I think perhaps I put my phone in my pocket without locking it:

(No hovertext or captions today. Just some cute puppage.)
