Dog of the Day: Hachi the Husky

Posted on February 22, 2022 by Adam Lang

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.

Sable Siberian Husky Looking Plaintively Upward — Hachi is healthy as a horse now, fortunately.

Sable Siberian Husky Looking Disgruntled — Hachi also has an impressive amount of SNOOT.

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

Posted on February 17, 2022 by Adam Lang

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!

Black And Tan German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Mix, Possibly, Grinning — Whatever she is, she sure has cute eyebrows.

Dog of the Day: Sassy the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on February 16, 2022 by Adam Lang

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

Australian Cattle Dog Mix With Striking Blue Eyes — 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

Posted on February 15, 2022 by Adam Lang

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’.

Black Portuguese Water Dog With White Marks And A White Goatee — The goatee is amazing. Also, Ruggles doesn’t look anywhere NEAR 13, does he?

I don’t know this pup’s name, but I’m definitely a fan.

White Shepherd Sprawled On The Ground — God I love the eyebrow lift.

Dog of the Day: Tilly the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Adam Lang

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

Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Holding Her Nose Up In The Air — She has an awesome schnozz, doesn’t she?

Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Staring Soulfully Into The Camera — She really does look like she’s two or three, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Alfie the Mini Dachshund

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Adam Lang

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.

Long-Haired Dapple Tricolor Miniature Dachshund — I know he’s a mini, but man, he’s SUPER tiny!

Long-Haired Dapple Tricolor Miniature Dachshund Licking His Chops — 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!

Posted on February 8, 2022 by Adam Lang

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!
