Sunday Switchup: Cute Art

Posted on November 21, 2021 by Adam Lang

Wandering around my neighborhood, I periodically run across street art and similar things. In this case, by someone apparently known as Ian the Meow. (Instagram here.)

Caturday Supplement: Charlie

Posted on November 20, 2021 by Adam Lang

I’m still not terribly functional, eyeball-wise, but Autumn has sent me some cat pictures. Yay! According to her, “Charlie was rescued from the streets of Los Angeles, and is recovering from being attacked by another cat.” However, he’s apparently still a pretty happy cat. (And get a load of those huge pupils in the last picture! Sure looks like he loves Autumn.)

No captions though, sorry ’bout that.

Dog of the Day: Riggins the German Shepherd Beagle Mix

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Adam Lang

There might be another breed or two in there, but Riggins (6) doesn’t care. He’s just moseying along, minding his own business. And maybe a little of yours, but only if you want him to.

No captions or hovertext today. Screwing around with little stuff is giving me a headache for the moment. So just enjoy the glorious, glorious snoot.

Dog of the Day: Harper the Unknown Mixed Breed

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Adam Lang

Unnngh. Still recovering from having my eyeball shaved. Recommendation: do not do this recreationally, because it is not terribly enjoyable.

Harper (4) is a real cutie, isn’t she? I am not sure what she is. Her folks think she’s part Australian cattle dog, but she’s not fetch-crazy, and I’ve never met even a part-Aussie that wasn’t. To me she looks like she’s part Catahoula, but who knows?

If I’d had the time, I would have followed this pup around all day.

Dog of the Day: Mocha the Bernadoodle

Posted on November 8, 2021 by Adam Lang

It constantly surprises me how quickly new mixes take off. Five years ago, Bernese/poodle mixes were vanishingly rare. Now I see a pup like Mocha (1, boy) several times a week.

They’re an awesome mix, I must admit. A lot like Berners, except they live a lot longer.

Even if they are a little exuberant sometimes.

Sunday Switchup: Rare Flower

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Adam Lang

I ran across this rather unusual flower while I was out wandering a couple of weeks ago. Pretty, don’t you think?

Man. Brutal vaccine reaction, followed by eighteen hours of work over this weekend. I need a vacation. Instead, I have a lot to do Monday and Tuesday to put my work in order, getting ready for surgery Wednesday. (Very low-risk, so I’m not worried, but quite unpleasant, so I’m nervous.)

Man, this thing just won’t quit.

Unghhh

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Adam Lang

Sorry. I got my booster shot yesterday, and I am so far from my best that I can’t see it from here even on a clear day. More posts soon, I promise.

Dog of the Day: Dexter the Shiba Inu

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Adam Lang

Dexter (3) has his own instagram: @barkrangerdexter! He totally should be a San Francisco Pup Scouts leader!

Sunday Switchup: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

Posted on October 31, 2021 by Adam Lang

I haven’t seen these guys close up for a couple of years, though I do hear them quite frequently. But Autumn was lucky enough to have them visit her while she was dogsitting last week.

Three Of San Francisco's Wild Cherry-Headed Conures
They’re ‘cherry-headed conures’. Also known as the ‘red-masked parakeet’. How did I live this long and not know that parakeets were a subset of parrots?

They are very smart, and very goofy, birds.
