Dog of the Day: Poppins the Pembroke/Cardigan Welsh Corgi Mix Puppy

Look. Look at this ridiculous pup. Poppins is half Pemmie, half Cardie, five months old, and all up in your bidnezz. She will brighten your day if you give her half a chance, and if you do not give her half a chance she will steal half a chance and probably the other half too if it’s not nailed down.

And then she will eat it.

No hovertext or captions, too much cute for mere words.

Dog of the Day: Malinka the Tiny Whippet

I initially thought Malinka (8) was an Italian greyhound, because she’s so little. But it turns out she’s just a little bitty whippet!

The internet says that the name ‘Malinka’ means ‘as sweet as a little berry’ in Russian. Which is odd, since маленький (malinki) means ‘little’ in Russian, and I’m not sure how changing ‘i’ to ‘a’ means ‘berry’, or ‘sweet’, or the comparative. Nevertheless, I agree that she is just as sweet as a little bitty berry.

No captions or hovertext today, just cute pictures.

Sunday Switchup: Yerba Buena Island

Just a pretty vista, from the tippy-top of Telegraph Hill, for you today. Yerba Buena Island, some of Treasure Island, the western span of the Bay Bridge, a bit of the eastern span as well if you look close enough.

And a big honking cruise ship. Man, best wishes to them, but you wouldn’t catch me on one of those things right now.

Dog of the Day: Bumper the (Repeat Customer) Old English Sheepdog

Look who we have here: it’s Bumper! I first ran into her when she was four months old… in 2010, the first year the blog was fully up and running! That makes her 11 now, and she’s still going strong. I also ran into her a couple of other times, and one other time got some pictures, but it’s been eight years… was so happy to see she’s doing well!

Dog of the Day: El Jefe the Bolonka Birthday Boy

And here we have yet another first-of-breed… third one in the last month! How does that happen after 12 full years of dog blogging? And he’s also a birthday boy… he turned two today!

Bolonka On A Leash
Apparently the Bolonka isn’t actually recognized by any kennel clubs, but they have been around, in one form or another, since the 18th century.
Bolonka Who Looks Like Chewbacca
Bolonkas can look just as much like Chewbacca as Brussels griffons, huh?

Dog of the Day: Buster Keaton the Wire Fox Terrier

Buster Keaton (male, 1) is named after an amazing silent-film actor. I’m not sure why, since fox terriers aren’t exactly well-known for being silent…

White And Ginger Wire Fox Terrier Grinning
Every fox terrier I’ve ever run into was almost manically cheerful.

Dog of the Day: Zeppie

Zeppie, short for Zeppelin, is three months old. I didn’t get her breed, and with those ears I am not even going to hazard a guess, besides ‘cuuuuute!’

Zeppie really wanted to wiggle out of those arms and go lick everyone’s ankles.
