Puppy of the Day: Bless the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on July 29, 2022 by Adam Lang

ANOTHER puppy! Bless (7 months old) wasn’t at CorgiCon, which I still owe you folks some more pictures from, because he had to take a trip down to LA. Maybe next time!

First time I’ve run into a dog named ‘Bless’ but he definitely fits the description.

Pictures of dogs shaking are really tough to get right, but they can be hilarious.

Puppy of the Day: Keanu the Shih Tzu

Posted on July 28, 2022 by Adam Lang

Keanu is only 4 months old. Hard to tell, isn’t it?

There are eyes in there somewhere, I promise!

Dog of the Day: Rio the Wooly Sloth-Seal-A-Doodle Puppy

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Adam Lang

Rio (11 months) is half poodle, half sloth, half wooly mammoth, and half seal. (Well he’s actually just half Lab and half poodle. But don’t tell him that!) He also has an instagram account: rio_notdejaneiro. It’s a bit sparse at the moment, but if you provide them with a little feedback I bet they’ll post some more pictures of Rio!

Labradoodle With Really Long Fur
I assumed he was a goldendoodle, I’ve never seen a labradoodle that looks like him before.

Gorgeous fur. It’s a shame they more or less always grow out of it.

Puppy of the Day: Willow the Golden Retriever

Posted on July 25, 2022 by Adam Lang

Willow (18 weeks old) is apparently not named after the movie, or the character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Am I dating myself? I am dating myself.)

I always come back to golden retrievers. They’re just such amazing dogs.

Lucky sod. Sigh. Someday I’ll be able to get a pup.

Caturday Supplement: Windowkitty

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Adam Lang

Just down the block from me, this kitty veeeeeery occasionally pops up in a window when I am wandering by.

The first time I saw him, he batted at my fingers. The rest of the times, he studiously ignored me.

Sorry about the reflections. A hazard of window-kitty sightings.

Kai is mighty: mighty little! Fifteen weeks old.

I just want someone or something that looks at me like that.

Just a little bit timid.

I have no idea what that ear is doing. But it’s adorable.

Dog of the Day: Gidget the Pomeranian

Posted on July 21, 2022 by Adam Lang

Gidget (5) was parked, and she was just saying hi to everyone as they wandered by.

Man I would be nervous about letting a dog who could leap out the window that easily do that.

Dog of the Day: Lila the Maltese

Posted on July 19, 2022 by Adam Lang

Lila and his mom were checking out Grace Cathedral when I went by a few days ago. Lila is 15 years old, and gets around okay, except on really long walks, which this was.

I have a real weakness for ‘doggie bags’.

She didn’t mind me petting her, but she really didn’t want to look at me.

Dog of the (Birth)Day: Summer the Golden Retriever

Posted on July 18, 2022 by Adam Lang

Today, Summer is a dog! She turns one year old today, and she is going to get a birthday cake to celebrate. Which is awesome. All dogs should get birthday cakes.

Golden Retriever Scratching Himself
Summer still has an excuse for acting like a puppy: he hasn’t had his birthday party yet so he’s officially still a puppy!
Golden Retriever Smiling
Somehow I doubt that he will have any trouble finding a different excuse tomorrow.

And we’ll all just keep forgiving him. Because he deserves it.

Dog of the Day: Sunny the Dachshund

Posted on July 14, 2022 by Adam Lang

A while back, I was poking through the San Francisco Patagonia Store, shopping for a nice packable jacket. San Francisco rarely requires a down jacket, especially for someone with broad temperature tolerances, but sometimes it gets cold, and it can happen pretty quick, so I always try to keep something with me just in case. It’s more often useful for people I am hanging out with than it is for me, but I like being helpful and prepared.

Someone else was shopping for a jacket too, or so I surmise. Sunny (1) was there, looking around quite interestedly.

I said, ‘wow, you don’t often see full-sized dachshunds these days’, and his owner said, ‘he’s not a full-size, he’s a mini who just kept growing!’
