Posted on October 17, 2022 by Adam Lang

We’ve seen this pup before: the store dog for the Fresh Blades barber shop.

Dog of the Day: June the Fully Grown Bernese Mountain Dog

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Adam Lang

June is two years old, and she’s a purebred Bernese mountain dog, only LITTLE! She’s only 60 pounds, which is smaller than the average golden retriever. Crazy.

I ran into June when some strangers were falling in love with her. Her dad asked them to watch her while he went inside a restaurant to use the bathroom.

She just seems to melt hearts wherever she goes.

Dog of the Day: Saint Romero the Great Dane

Posted on October 13, 2022 by Adam Lang

Saint is a tall one: not huge, around 145 pounds, but gangly. He also has an awesome Instagram account, ‘Saint_thegreatdane‘.

Just a pile of pictures, no hovertext or captions today. Saint Romero has an amazing array of facial expressions, doesn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Maya the Fashion Model

Posted on October 11, 2022 by Adam Lang

Maya is an Australian shepherd chow ‘et cetera’ mix, according to my notes. She’s five years old, and she is a star: she is a model on the site ‘freepeople.com‘, modeling an adorable dog bandana.

I gotta say, I think my pictures of Maya are cuter than the one on Free People.

Dunno about ‘chow’. There’s absolutely no purple in that tongue.

Posted on October 10, 2022 by Adam Lang

Someone was really relaxed on Muni.

Autumn calls this position ‘the Bunny Butt’. I just like the word ‘haunch’. Haunch haunch haunch.

Dog of the Day: Remy the Pemmie Puppy

Posted on October 7, 2022 by Adam Lang

Remy, like yesterday’s pup, is four months old. Remy, like yesterday’s pup, is ridiculously cute. However, Remy, unlike yesterday’s pup, was moving around so fast that almost none of the pictures I took actually came out.

This one was kind of blurry but too hilarious not to post.

Dog of the Day: Agnes the German Shepherd Mix Puppy

Posted on October 6, 2022 by Adam Lang

Agnes is four months old. Her folks are fostering her for Copper’s Dream Rescue, but they told me that they might just ‘foster fail’. And really, who can blame them, even if Agnes did get a weeee bit dirty around those little feetses.

No captions or hovertext today; too many cute pictures!

Dog of the Day: Nemo the Helpful Golden Retriever

Posted on October 4, 2022 by Adam Lang

I saw Nemo’s dad come out of my local grocery store, where Nemo was tied up outside. Dad untied him and then started rooting around in his grocery bag, and I was expecting the dog treats to come out, but nope! It turns out that Nemo is very proud of his ability to help dad bring home the groceries.

Golden retrievers have ‘soft mouths’. I bet the bread isn’t even squished when it gets home.

Caturday Supplement: Num (‘Noom’) the Bhutanese Kitty

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Adam Lang

I just ran into Num (5-ish) today, when she and her friend were wandering around Pacific Heights. It turns out the woman with Num was just cat-sitting for a while. Num is used to going out for walks every day, and has been since she was a kitten, so she took her out to Lafayette Park for some playtime.

Num has another awesome story associated with her, too, though. It seems that her mom was traveling in Bhutan five years ago. She was indoors in the evening, and heard some commotion outside. She opened the door, and a kitten streaked inside. Mom shut the door just in time to keep the wild dogs who were after her from getting in. And they’ve been partners ever since.

That’s a cat carrier on her back, but apparently Num is quite well-behaved and does not try to escape on her walks.

It’s so hard for people to read cat expressions. That’s actually a friendly one. Ears forward but not fully pointing toward me, and eyes half clozed, saying ‘I’m comfortable enough that I don’t have to pay all my attention to you.’

I spent more time petting the kitty than I did photographing her. Which is as it should be.
