Dog of the Day: Cleo the Shetland Sheepdog

I would like you to meet the belle of the ball, Cleo the five-year-old Sheltie. Isn’t she just beautiful?

Blue merle may be my favorite dog coloration. Don’t tell any of the other color dogs that though!

Dog of the Day: Pug the Goose Puppy

Wait… strike that… reverse it. Goose is a five month old cutie, and if he’s a silly goose, well, that’s only to be expected, right?

Goose’s side-eye game is strong.

Dog of the Day: Maya the Bluetick Coonhound

Maya is 2, and it’s funny: I’ve run across a few bluetick coonhounds in the city, and three of them, if I recall correctly, were in the Marina.

Bluetick Coonhound
The name ‘bluetick’ refers to ‘tick’ as in ‘a small spot or mark’. Tick-mark. I always think of that as a check, but apparently the spots are ticks too! Who knew?

Puppy of the Day: Neela the Miniature Dachshund

Neela (9 months) is a little dapple-dy dachshund!

She looks nervous. She is not.

Given half a chance she would be rampaging through half of San Francisco.

Dog of the Day: Prince Henry the Long, the Sub-Miniature Golden Retriever With Almost No Legs

You thought yesterday’s pup was a small golden retriever? Check out Prince Henry (5)! No matter what you tell me, I refuse to believe that he isn’t a cleverly miniaturized golden retriever who was standing behind the door when the legs were handed out.

(Oops, I almost forgot: FOOOOOOFLY WIENER!)

I got another live photo, by accident, but hey, happy accident. I love seeing that tail going.

I love the name. Prince Henry the Long suits him down to the ground. Which admittedly isn’t very far.

I just noticed that we haven’t seen any dog-licking-his-lips pics in ages. This must not stand!

Dog of the Day: Enzo the Miniature Golden Retriever

Oh, they added a bunch of golden and a little bit of this and that and they got Enzo, 3. And he’s glad they did, and so am I!

Almost as many dogs as there were people at this street fair, but Enzo still attracted more than his fair share of attention.

Of course, everyone had to take a breather when Enzo got an itchy ear.

He definitely knew a sucker when he saw one.

Dog of the Day: Pickle the Bouvier Des Flandres

I always get bouviers mixed up with some of the other similar European breeds, but I don’t think Pickles (5) minded. She seemed happy to see me anyway.

Not sure how well she could see, but she smells pretty well!

Dog of the Day: Charlie the Scruffy Little Terrier Mix

Charlie (6) is a rescue from The Milo Foundation. Nobody knows quite what breeds he has in him, but nobody’s going to hold that against him.

Ran across Milo at a street fair I went to a little while ago. He was having a blast people-watching.

Which seems only fair, since I was having a blast dog-watching.

Dog of the Day: Red the Flat Coat Retriever

I do not, in fact, know the story of why Red is named Red. But that’s fine, it’s always nice to maintain an air of mystery, right?

Black Flat Coat Retriever
Haven’t seen a flat-coat in a while. This one knows exactly what he likes: he instantly walked between my legs and stopped halfway so I had to pet his butt.
