Dog of the Day: Mr. Carson the Norwich Terrier

I just met Mr. Carson, who is a 5 year old perfect gentleman, with a very abbreviated Instagram account displaying the trophies he has won. His owner wasn’t particularly looking for a show dog, but he did want a Norwich, and he was able to jump to the head of the queue (pre-COVID) by agreeing to show Mr. Carson. And thus was born a champion!

You all should go check out Mr. Carson’s instagram and encourage him and his folks to post more pictures.

Great big grin. Someone was very happy to be out in the park.

Dog of the Day: Shawayze the American Pit Bull Terrier Mix

I have Shawayse (11, male) down as an unknown mix, but his mom is pretty sure there’s some pit in there, and I have to say I agree.

I love the background, too. This is the wall of my local grocery store.

If you zoom in really close you can actually see his mom and me reflected in his eye.

Dog of the Day: Robbie the Husky Malamute Akita Mix

Look who I ran into on my way home from my first dinner out with Autumn in ages: Robbie The Rebel (awesome instagram here), a super-cute mix adopted from Family Dog Rescue in San Francisco.

Funny, the more I look at Robbie the more she looks like a really big corgi on stilts.

Especially when she’s looking this goofy.

Dog of the Day: Bromley the Vizsla Puppy

Pretty big, for an 8-month-old Vizsla, isn’t he?

I feel like his name fits him amazingly well.

If they made blankets like those ears I’d buy six.

WTF: Pyromaniac Attacks Site Favorite

Cody, AKA laundrypuppy, is a site favorite (see also here, here, here, and here.) Such a sweetheart, and so adorable. He’s a neighborhood fixture.

That’s why it was doubly shocking to read about the fact that someone tried to set him on fire, and then actually did beat up his owner, a really sweet older Asian gentleman, when he tried to get the dog away jesus christ what is wrong with people.

Dog of the Day: Not Sure, But He’s A Cutie!

So this guy looks to me a lot like a Parson Russell terrier, but I haven’t ever seen one in person and we’ve certainly never had one on the blog before, so I’m very hesitant to nail him down. Anyone ever seen one before?

Small Terrier
Saw him tied up outside the jiu-jitsu academy across the street from me. I should drop in and ask them what he is.

Dog of the Day: Logan Page the English Springer Spaniel Puppy

If you think Logan looks full grown, surprise! He’s really only nine months old in this picture. If you think he looks goofy, well, you’re batting at least five hundred.

English Springer Spaniel Looking Goofy
English springer spaniels always look like they’ve been incompletely dipped in chocolate to me. (Pretty sure they wouldn’t object, even if it would be a bit unhealthy.)

Sunday Switchup: …But Is It Art?

I may not know art, but I know what I like.

And I’m not really sure I particularly like this.

Nevertheless, it certainly fits the theme.

I haven’t been getting a lot of cat pictures lately. I’ve already posted one of this kitty but I kind of like this one too, so here you go.

Kitty loves curling up in the closet. And who would be so mean as to open the door?

What have we here? Another first! Mikkilee (male, 10) is our first-ever pure Icelandic sheepdog, and what a gorgeous breed!
