Dog of the Day: Freya the Australian Shepherd Poodle Mix Puppy

Freya (6 months) is a little bitty Aussie-doodle. I don’t think she’s gonna be terribly big even when she’s full-grown, but she’s mighty!

Freya is named after the Norse goddess of love, war, and glory. Unlike most Norse deities, she is a member of the Vanir, not the Aesir. This means that…

Sorry, I’m a bit of a Norse legend geek.

Dog of the Day: Jasper the Golden Retriever Border Collie Mix

So Jasper (6) had a DNA test! And Jasper’s DNA test said that he was a pit bull/Staffordshire terrier mix. To which I say, ‘hahahahano’. He’s as friendly as a pit or a Staffie but he’s nothing like either one in any other way. So I’m going to say that it either was one of those 25% that are just whacked out, or his results got mixed up with someone else’s. In either case, I’m gonna guess golden/border collie.

No captions or hovertext today, too much happy and cute to be captured that way.

Dog of the Day: Demanding Chihuahua

Someone was standing outside a couple of local eateries. And was not entirely happy with having to stand out there when the rest of the family was inside having Thai food, or frozen yoghurt, or whatever.

“Loving Cup” makes great frozen yoghurt. I wish I liked frozen yoghurt anywhere near as much as I like ice cream…

I always feel a little guilty when I set a tied-up dog to barking.

Dog of the Day: Bruno the German Shepherd (Mix?) Puppy

I think maybe the update to one of my WordPress plugins on Thursday is what killed it, because there was another update to that plugin today and things work now. So yay, I guess.

To celebrate, I would like to introduce seven-month-old Bruno, a pup of remarkable poise and ears. He is a very, very good boy.

German Shepherds aren’t supposed to have ‘cocked ears’, but I really hope his stay this way because they are adorable.

If you look at his left foreleg, he got a bit shaved off recently. I think perhaps he was (shh) fixed recently?

Site News: Gee Thanks WordPress

Well, the wordpress site editor, which they have made drastically worse two separate times over the past three years, has now decided that I shouldn’t be able to insert images into my web site, presumably because they are jealous of all the adorable puppies I get to pet.

I will try to figure out how to fix it soon… but definitely not tonight.

Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever Puppy

I didn’t get this pup’s name or age, though if I had to guess I’d say three to four months.

Dog of the Day: Wrigley the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Wrigley is such a great name for a happy dog, isn’t it? And Wrigley (2, girl) is exactly that.

Ah, that explains it.

Dog of the Day: Midgie the Chihuahua Terrier Mix

Midgie (a girl, and one year old) is a little cutie. I’m not sure what she is named after: the only ‘midgie’ I knew of before I did a little googling was a nasty, tiny, blood-sucking insect from Scotland, and I trust that nobody is mean enough to name their dog after those monsters. Google says that ‘Midgie’ is the name of a dog from the series of books called ‘The Baby-Sitters Club’, so I am choosing to believe that she was named for that.

Midgie is a very curious pup, and doesn’t have the shakiness that so many of the smaller Chihuahuas do.

Dog of the Day: Raven the EARS OMG THE EARS

Raven (a girl, of unknown age) was found in Southern California, wandering around looking lost. When her current owner adopted her, the rescue said that Raven was a Mexican hairless, also known as a Xoloitzcuintli. And she looked exactly like one… except then she grew fur! Very short and soft and velvety fur, but fur nevertheless. So who knows?

Is it just me or do those ears look almost exactly like bat wings?

Dog of the Day: Hachi the Husky

Hachi is 8, and has had quite a life: he was born in a puppy mill, who then abandoned him along with the rest of the litter at an animal hospital when they cane down with parvo. Hachi was the only survivor, but he seems to be doing great now.
