Dog of the Day: Bylka the Labradoodle

Posted on December 7, 2021 by Adam Lang

Bylka is four, and her name is the word for one kind of sweet bun in Russian. She is very sweet, and she has nice buns, so that seems appropriate.

She’s a big’un, too! Especially for a girl.

Dog of the Day: Dipsea the Central Asian Village Puppy

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Adam Lang

Dipsea (10 months, male) is an immigrant from Russia! He came from a little village, and was born with crooked legs. When he was shipped over here, they broke them and reset them so they’d heal straight, and now he’s fully healed and he can run and play with other dogs and go hiking with his mom and dad. Which is where he got his name: there’s a trail called the ‘Dipsea trail‘ in the North Bay, and it’s gorgeous and quite a rough hike. I’m sure he can run it in a couple of hours, but I’m lucky if I can limp it in a day.

Dipsea is also known as ‘Dipsy-Doodle’, although he isn’t a doodle and in my opinion he isn’t even all that dipsy!

Caturday Supplement: Dotty Parton the Bengal Kitten And Friends

Posted on December 4, 2021 by Adam Lang

Dotty Parton has just about the best cat name I’ve ever run across. She was 12 weeks old when I took these pictures, and was out for a walk with her best friend, Saidie the Rottie. (Sadie was born on Valentine’s Day of 2020, and is every bit as sweet as that would suggest.)

She seemed surprisingly into the trip, especially given that this was one of her first.

She liked meowing but was totally mellow and was delighted to let me pet her.

Bonus picture of Sadie! They apparently like to cuddle.

Dog of the Day: Somewhat Cynical Miniature Dachshund

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Adam Lang

She might look a little cynical, but I’m sure she has a heart of gold.

I liked the stairs, so I found them on on Google Maps.

Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Adam Lang

Haven’t had a grown-up golden here in a while. I didn’t get this one’s details, but he seems very determined, doesn’t he?

These two were having a little difference of opinion. She wanted to go THAT way, and he wanted to cuddle me.

Dog of the Day: Logan the German Shepherd Golden Retriever Puppy

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Adam Lang

I’m getting very tired of my eye not working right. It’s supposed to be fine by now. But then, it was supposed to be fine by a week ago, and by ten days ago, too.

Fortunately, I have cute pups like Logan to console me.

No captions or hovertext, because I’m… very tired.

Dog of the Day: Lando the Awesome Mutt

Posted on November 24, 2021 by Adam Lang

According to Lando’s dad and his handy dandy DNA test, Lando (1) is a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog/Brittany spaniel. Quite a combo, and you can see a little of each of them in him.

Oh, he also has an Instagram: @LastLickLando.

Lando is wearing a little ‘I voted’ tag around his neck, which I think is pretty hilarious.

Dog of the Day: Bambi the Chihuahua Mix

Posted on November 23, 2021 by Adam Lang

Bambi (4) is a boy, like the deer by that name, but unlike the typical human with that name.

Bambi is definitely a little hyper, but basically friendly.

Dog of the Day: Joey the German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Husky Mix

Posted on November 22, 2021 by Adam Lang

Joey (1) is quite a mix. He’s got the sense of humor of a husky, the sense of humor of a German shepherd, and the sense of humor of a Labrador retriever…

I love the way he travels with his own little bed.

Sunday Switchup: Cute Art

Posted on November 21, 2021 by Adam Lang

Wandering around my neighborhood, I periodically run across street art and similar things. In this case, by someone apparently known as Ian the Meow. (Instagram here.)
