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.

Dog of the Day: Moshi the Impossible-To-Photograph Siberian Husky Mix Puppy

Today, instead of my normal ‘post a picture or two with captions and hovertext’, I would like to give you an idea of how hard (and how much fun!) it sometimes is to get pictures of these dogs. Dogs like Moshi, the 5-month-old puppy with enough energy to power about two thirds of the state.

The first couple look pretty reasonable, but it didn’t take long for her to become a hypervelocity projectile.

She also has the most gorgeous, soulful eyes, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Bandit the Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix

Bandit is a Bernadoodle, a fuzzly little Bernadoodle! Six months old and one hell of a lover.

I can’t help but hear either Fozzie Bear or Ralph the Dog when I see this pup.

Not a single picture of Bandit has eyes. It’s amazing.

Dog of the Day: Thailand the Labrador Retriever

Thailand is three, and is a professional mom! That is to say, she carries litters for Guide Dogs for the Blind up in San Rafael. I do not have her pups’ stats available but if she’s anything to judge by, they’re probably super-awesome guide dogs!

Very expressive face on this pup.

Dog of the Day: Odin the Pomeranian

I’m not sure ‘Odin’ quite captures this three-year-old’s super-happy personality, but hey, a cute-dog-nose by any other name smells just as well, right?

Even if you couldn’t tell the breed from the size and shape, that right there is a patented Pomeranian expression.

Dog of the Day: Tunnel the Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix

Got my pictures of Tunnel (2, male) after it’d gotten quite dim outside, so most of them were blurry, but I still wanted to show him off because you don’t see a whole lot of ridgeback mixes even around here.

I also love showing off by walking up to people and saying ‘Hey is that a ridgeback mix?’ and being right. Never thought I’d end up an expert dog-breed-identifier, but here we are!

Dog of the Day: Princess Leia the Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever Puppy

A toller, a toller! And she’s pretty big for a five-month-old. She’s already a handful, as you can see on her so-far-sparse but still ridiculously adorable instagram. Pretty soon she’s going to be two handfuls. Handsful? Something like that.

Dog of the Day: Shasta the Australian Shepherd Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Mix!

That’s a whole lot of words! And Shasta (2, girl) is a whole lotta dog.

If you look closely you can see a little tiny line of pink on her nose.

Shasta is murder to get a picture of. She does not see why you are not interested in being smooched constantly.
