Dog of the Day: Prince the Border Collie Mix

I am told that Prince (8 years old now) is a ‘repeat customer’, that I’ve taken pictures of him before. I’m going to have to take his mom’s word for it, because I only have one ‘Prince’ in my picture history, and although he’s the right age, he’s very much not the right color. Oh well, at least I have his name now.

I promise he is nowhere near as sarcastic as he looks in this picture.

Dog of the Day: Oscar the Cocker Spaniel Puppy

When I stopped by the vet to say hello to the two kittens (last Caturday and next Caturday), I also found Oscar in for his healthy 15-week-old puppy exam. He liked watching the kitties as much as I did.

Is it just me or is Oscar… pretty big for a fifteen-week-old cocker spaniel?

Sunday Switchup: P(l)ants

I don’t really know what to say about these. So I won’t.

Caturday Supplement: Guddi (I Think) the Kitten

I was walking along Polk Street, past a relatively new veterinarian’s office, when I saw a little cutie peering out at me. So I snapped a few pictures of him and his brother, just in for healthy-kitten checkups. I think this is Guddi, and next week we’ll have his brother, Zahar.

They have an instagram account, but, and this is TERRIBLE, there’s nothing in it yet. Follow them, and then badger their folks mercilessly until they post MORE CUTE CAT PICTURES.

They were both quite friendly and gregarious for cats on unfamiliar ground.

Dog of the Day: Bailey the Photogenic Silver Labrador Retriever

Bailey gave me the exact opposite problem, if you can call it that, from yesterday’s pup, as you can see below: basically all you have to do is aim your camera at her and pull the trigger and you get something amazing.

Dog of the Day: Moshi the Impossible-To-Photograph Siberian Husky Mix Puppy

Today, instead of my normal ‘post a picture or two with captions and hovertext’, I would like to give you an idea of how hard (and how much fun!) it sometimes is to get pictures of these dogs. Dogs like Moshi, the 5-month-old puppy with enough energy to power about two thirds of the state.

The first couple look pretty reasonable, but it didn’t take long for her to become a hypervelocity projectile.

She also has the most gorgeous, soulful eyes, doesn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Bandit the Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle Mix

Bandit is a Bernadoodle, a fuzzly little Bernadoodle! Six months old and one hell of a lover.

I can’t help but hear either Fozzie Bear or Ralph the Dog when I see this pup.

Not a single picture of Bandit has eyes. It’s amazing.

Dog of the Day: Thailand the Labrador Retriever

Thailand is three, and is a professional mom! That is to say, she carries litters for Guide Dogs for the Blind up in San Rafael. I do not have her pups’ stats available but if she’s anything to judge by, they’re probably super-awesome guide dogs!

No idea what 594Z means.

Very expressive face on this pup.

Dog of the Day: Odin the Pomeranian

I’m not sure ‘Odin’ quite captures this three-year-old’s super-happy personality, but hey, a cute-dog-nose by any other name smells just as well, right?

Even if you couldn’t tell the breed from the size and shape, that right there is a patented Pomeranian expression.
