Dog of the Day: Maeby the German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Mix

I’m not 100% sure that this is the pup that goes with the notes I took, so: is this really Maeby (2 years old)? Perhaps! Is Maeby really a German Shepherd Lab mix? Possibly! Is Maeby actually a Rottie mix of some kind instead? …okay, okay, maybe!

Whatever she is, she sure has cute eyebrows.

Could be some pit in there, if not Rottie, with that square jaw.

Dog of the Day: Sassy the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Sassy (2) is pretty striking, isn’t she?

I bet straying cattle take one look at those eyes and just stagger right back into the herd.

Dog of the Day: Ruggles the Portuguese Water Dog

I don’t know where Ruggles’ (13 years old) name comes from (“Ruggles of Red Gap” maybe?) but I do know that he’s as shaggy as a 1970s rug and causes giggles when he licks you, so maybe his real name is ‘Rug-giggles’.

The goatee is amazing. Also, Ruggles doesn’t look anywhere NEAR 13, does he?

Dog of the Day: Tilly the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

Tilly, Tilly, she’s a silly! She’s also eight, but she sure doesn’t look it.

She has an awesome schnozz, doesn’t she?

She really does look like she’s two or three, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Alfie the Mini Dachshund

Alfie is one, even if he does look like a puppy. Or, at least, he does until you go and look at his instagram, @alfie.thedappledoxie, where you can see his real puppy pictures. Warning: they are dangerously adorable.

I know he’s a mini, but man, he’s SUPER tiny!

Seriously though, go check out Alfie’s instagram. You won’t regret it unless your neighbors hear the squealing and call the police.

Dog of the Day: Lennox the Pembroke Welsh Corgi With A Tail!

Autumn and I saw Lennox approaching while we were at an outdoor Irish ‘ceili’ (jam session). Autumn was playing, I was listening, so I had plenty of time to pet and photograph all the dogs that went by. Including Lennox (1 year old, a boy), who was also stopped by several other people who just had to pet him. Not hard to see why!

He was really good at ‘sit’, especially for a one-year-old. They said ‘sit’, he sat, and he stayed seated despite quite a bit of temptation.

There it is: cute little foxy-tail!

I ran into an old friend last weekend: Pepper the adorable happy fox terrier!

It’s always nice to see a pup who remembers me fondly.

And she definitely remembered me, despite the fact that it’d been a year or so.

Of course, there are certain compensations.

Dog of the Day: Ollie the English Setter

Ollie was three when I took these pictures. Don’t see a lot of English setters around the joint!

Such a dignified-looking breed.

Most grown-up dogs don’t tilt their heads to the side when they hear funny noises. Ollie does!

His toes are almost as fluffy as his ears.
