Posted on September 4, 2025 by Adam Lang

Wandered by the ‘yoga with puppies’ place last Saturday on my way to the Farmer’s Market and caught sight of these two having a Moment.

Dog of the Day: Stevie the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Posted on September 3, 2025 by Adam Lang

Poor Stevie (3) was quite thoroughly nommed on by another dog recently. She got several stitches and the cone of shame. Happily, it has not changed her attitude one bit!

Australian Cattle Dog Mix In A Cone Of Shame — I’ve had stitches before. I had to scratch myself on both sides of them so that I wouldn’t scratch them. Honestly I maybe could have used a cone of shame myself.

Australian Cattle Dog Mix Face — She appreciated getting scratched under the chin quite a lot.

Smiling Australian Cattle Dog Mix In A Cone Of Shame — Can’t have been too bad, I got him grinning.

Dog of the Day: Squooshy King Charles Cavalier

Posted on September 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but that’s Autumn’s hand. She just put out her hand and the pup laid her chin in it and was like ‘do you love me now?’ And we all said ‘YES!’

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel In A Sling Bag Laying Her Head In A Woman's Hand — Somehow I see more doggie bags at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market than I do everywhere else combined.

Double Dog Day: James Joyce the Repeat Customer Irish Wolfhound and Mary Shelley the English Bulldog Puppy

Posted on September 1, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into James Joyce (9 years old!) so long ago that I barely remember, which is to say, Before Covid, back in 2019. And I am delighted to tell you that he is looking just as happy and healthy now as he was when I first met him, which is just amazing for a wolfhound. I bet part of it is his friend Mary (8 months) helping keep him young.

Caturday Supplement: Frankie the Chocolate Point Siamese

Posted on August 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

Frankie (2) is a local celebrity: he gets out and about a lot, and apparently he has a tiktok account but I can’t find it. Probably a typo on my part. Sorry, Frankie, but at least you have a new social media presence here!

Brown Point Siamese Cat In A Baby Carriage — Frankie liked being petted by random passers-by.

Brown Point Siamese Cat Meowing — No, really. This is just him chatting back to me.

Dog of the Day: Snickers the Gigantic Bernadoodle

Posted on August 27, 2025 by Adam Lang

Snickers (3) is somehow bigger than many Bernese mountain dogs, at a whopping 110 lbs. He could tow you around town in a wagon. He could tow you around Lake Merced water skiing.
