Autumn’s cat-sitting these two ‘gooves’ (plural of goof, of course) and sent me this picture. So unfair that one of the like 0.1% of pictures on here that I didn’t take are also one of the 0.1% best pictures on the site, but oh well.
Pino, AKA Jalapeño Pepper, is a cat that I cat sat a while ago. Alas, his companion passed on since then, but he got a new sibling, Cayenne Pepper. They get along very well.
I think maybe I ought to make up greeting cards with this on them for the dogblogstore.
Okay, stay with me, now, because this is confusing.
I have, in my notes for this pup, ‘LubyByTheBay on Instagram, f 15 wks’. And I thought, what an unusual name! Luby! And I went to that page on Instagram and there was nothing there. So I did some more searching and found ‘LeviByTheBay’, a golden retriever, and thought ohhhh! Hey, wait, didn’t I post a Levi a couple months ago? Hey, maybe this is the same dog! Except that I went to LeviByTheBay and he’s about a year too old to be either that Levi puppy or this one. SO CONFUSING!
But I did a little more poking around and discovered LucyByTheBay. And I don’t know if I misheard or just typoed, but in either case, I’m pretty sure this is Lucy, and if not, it’s certainly Almost Lucy.
Lucy was hanging around outside our local cheese shop. And being a very good girl even though the place smells very strongly of YUMMY CHEESE.Autumn calls this head-fur-style a ‘puppy fro’. I just call it cute.If you look at the tag in this picture you can see ‘Lucy’. And in previos one that she has a dog harness company that’s named after her!* How posh is that?
* (May not actually be technically true.)I miss Lucy. Maybe I can find her if I go out looking this weekend.
I didn’t get any notes on this guy, but I have a vague memory that he was a Berner/Great Pyrenees mix. He sure looks a lot like Melvin, but he can’t be a recessive red because he has some black fur.
Sorry about the background, but I thought it was urgent that I get some pictures of this fine beast.
Woo, a new breed! Winifred looks a lot like a greyhound but is in fact a member of a breed that is apparently a thousand or more years old. Amazing!
Winifred also has an instagram, chock-full of cute pictures! You should visit it!
Her ear isn’t ALWAYS like that.Just ALMOST always.They seem like a really sweet breed, and quite popular in Europe. But I’ve never even HEARD of them before. Weird.
Not having the greatest month even by the rather low standards of COVID-ridden USA, so I decided to post a corgi. And then discovered that somehow all of the names and ages of all the dogs I took pictures of on May 30th were gone, and that none of the pictures had a good enough close-up of any of their tags to get a name. I’M SO TERRIBLE!
Fortunately this pup didn’t care how terrible I was. He wanted to lick my face all the same.
Corgis are deceptive: they weigh like 25 pounds and can pull with the force of a small car.
I ran into Duck (1) a few months back, and his dad told me, “Oh, hey, you took some pictures of my last dog back in 2016. And I looked, and sure enough, Gus was there. I’m glad to be continuing the chain!
Duck did not take to me nearly as well as Gus did. Duck was very dubious.
Layla (1 year old) is a super sweet pupper who wanted to say hi to everyone who wandered through the Ferry Building. And I was l lucky enough to be wandering through at just the right time.
I couldn’t compete with Mom and her friend, who knew where all the itchiest spots were.
A sad dog of the day post for y’all today: one of the first few dozen pups I ever took pictures of, Olio, passed away last weekend. It’s been over ten years since I met him, and he lived a long and healthy life, nearly 17 years. I offered to post some pictures of Olio for his folks, as a little tribute, and they took me up on it.
No captions or hovertext. I don’t really feel like being clever, let alone a smartass. Just some cute pictures of a happy pup. But I should add that the second pup in the scenic picture is Buzz, Olio’s 7-year-old kid brother, and the picture in the book that Olio is looking at in another image is actually a picture of him. He’s famous!
Goodbye, Olio. You will be missed. But I’m glad I got some smooches from you while you were here.
