Dog of the Day: Royce the Golden Retriever

Posted on February 18, 2025 by Adam Lang

We’re blessed: two days of goldens in a row. Royce isn’t quite as young as Toto (at 1 year old) but he’s just as friendly, happy, and, of course, itchy.

I’m doing all right, but I’d give a lot to be doing as all right as Royce is.

Puppy of the Day: Toto the Golden Retriever

Posted on February 17, 2025 by Adam Lang

I don’t think Toto (7 months old, a girl) is in Kansas any more, but I don’t think there’s an emerald city nearby either, so she’s going to have to settle for San Francisco. And San Francisco is glad to have her!

Toto spent half the time I was with her scratching herself with a paw and the other half scratching her back on the ground. Itchy girl!

Dog of the Day: Zeus the Labrador Retriever Hound Mix

Posted on February 11, 2025 by Adam Lang

Zeus (9) is, in this picture, an absolutely prime example of what happens when you drool and then shake: you get lines of drool across your snoot. A problem we all face, sooner or later.

Dunno what kind of hound. Coonhound, maybe?

Dog of the Day: Rosie the Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on February 10, 2025 by Adam Lang

Ring around the Rosie! She’s four, and she may have short stubby legs but she can run rings around you!

I just noticed that there appears to be a rectangle cut out of the top of Rosie’s head and now I can’t unsee it. It really did look like that, I promise!

Sunday Switchup: L’Egg

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Adam Lang

I don’t have any animals to post on this lovely Sunday, but I do have something that came first. I hard-boiled half a dozen eggs late last year and I ate five of them and then opened the sixth and it was… magenta. Aggressively magenta. So I didn’t eat it. The end.

Purple Hard Boiled Egg
Funny thing: it didn’t smell weird, and it had the exact normal hard-boiled-egg texture. It was just… purple.

I promise, there really is a kitten in the picture! You just have to look very closely to find her.

Dog of the Day: Boston the Bernadoodle

Posted on February 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

Boston is one, and like most one-year-old pups, is old enough to know better but not quite old enough to care.

He reeeeeally wanted to give me smooches.

Puppy of the Day: Jackie the German Shepherd

Posted on February 6, 2025 by Adam Lang

Jackie is only six months old, but she is clearly a mean nasty vicious puppy!

Vicious-Looking German Shepherd Puppy
There are a lot of places that consider German shepherds to be ‘dangerous dogs’.

Personally I think most people are more dangerous than pretty much any dog.

Dog of the Day: Tiny the Slightly Grizzled And Nearly Wooly But Decidedly Not Tiny Malamute

Posted on February 5, 2025 by Adam Lang

Tiny (boy, 9) is a little bit worn, sure, but he’s still in great shape: likes long hikes, still has great teeth. And although he’s not actually a wooly malamute, he’s also definitely got a heck of a thick coat. But what he isn’t is ‘tiny’. He’s probably got more muscle than a body-builder and a half!

Malamute
I haven’t posted a malamute in… three YEARS? Gosh I’m glad I found Tiny!

Dog of the Day: Pasquale the Australian Shepherd

Posted on February 4, 2025 by Adam Lang

Pasquale is 3, and with those eyes I bet he can charm the sheep right out of the trees! (Ssh. I’m on a roll.)

I bet the tiny goatee and mustache help too!
