WTF: Pyromaniac Attacks Site Favorite

Cody, AKA laundrypuppy, is a site favorite (see also here, here, here, and here.) Such a sweetheart, and so adorable. He’s a neighborhood fixture.

That’s why it was doubly shocking to read about the fact that someone tried to set him on fire, and then actually did beat up his owner, a really sweet older Asian gentleman, when he tried to get the dog away jesus christ what is wrong with people.

Dog of the Day: Not Sure, But He’s A Cutie!

So this guy looks to me a lot like a Parson Russell terrier, but I haven’t ever seen one in person and we’ve certainly never had one on the blog before, so I’m very hesitant to nail him down. Anyone ever seen one before?

Small Terrier
Saw him tied up outside the jiu-jitsu academy across the street from me. I should drop in and ask them what he is.

Dog of the Day: Logan Page the English Springer Spaniel Puppy

If you think Logan looks full grown, surprise! He’s really only nine months old in this picture. If you think he looks goofy, well, you’re batting at least five hundred.

English springer spaniels always look like they’ve been incompletely dipped in chocolate to me. (Pretty sure they wouldn’t object, even if it would be a bit unhealthy.)

Sunday Switchup: …But Is It Art?

I may not know art, but I know what I like.

And I’m not really sure I particularly like this.

Nevertheless, it certainly fits the theme.

Caturday Supplement: Black Kitty

I haven’t been getting a lot of cat pictures lately. I’ve already posted one of this kitty but I kind of like this one too, so here you go.

Kitty loves curling up in the closet. And who would be so mean as to open the door?

Dog of the Day: Mikkilee the Icelandic Sheepdog

What have we here? Another first! Mikkilee (male, 10) is our first-ever pure Icelandic sheepdog, and what a gorgeous breed!

No hovertext or captions, because I’m just not feeling it today.

Dog of the Day: Claire the West Highland White Terrier

Is Claire a puppy? Yes! Is she fifteen years old? ALSO YES! She is also completely blind, but had good enough hearing and smell to come over and say hello to me during her walk.

Seriously, would you guess this dog was fifteen?

Dog of the Day: Para the American Akita Puppy

Two notes on Para (a girl, and six months old). First one: she is delightfully goofy. Goofier than any other akita I’ve run across, although I’m very short on akita puppies so far. Second one: oh my god, she’s only six months old and already this big? I know akitas are normally pretty large but she’s gonna be a giant!

Haven’t seen an akita in ages: over six years! I wonder where they all got to?

A+++ dog, would wrestle any time.

Dog of the Day: Sidney the German Shepherd Mix Puppy

Sidney was 7 months old when I took this picture… he’s going to be a big boy! And he already is a very very good boy, with impeccable manners. Or at least he was when I met him.

I made a funny noise, and he immediately tilted his head.

Dog of the Day: Atka the Siberian Husky Maybe Akita Or Something

I can’t help but feel that Atka (male, 12 years old) has to have some sort of ‘long dog’ in his bloodline, whether that’s dachshund, corgi, basset, or whatever. His dad only knew that he was part husky (obviously). He said that the father was an akita, and that his littermates looked like akita/husky mixes. If I had to guess, I’d say that in this case the litter had multiple fathers, something that’s not too unusual in the swingin’ doggie set.

Huskies can have very soulful faces, if the goofy grin is out of frame.
