Ran into this pup in a local pet store. He was being a very good boy.
They have puppy obedience classes here once a week, during normal times.
“The Sarge” is a rather large chewy treat stick. A bit oversized for a puppy. And yet… it’s always good to have aspirations
Another dog I ran into on my trip down to San Diego, this one on my birthday! Jax was only 6 months old, and a giant bundle of rambunctious fun.
Jax is a quick change artist. From noble…
…to goofy, in one second flat. Formula 1, eat your heart out!
It was a long, long day, and just the start of a long, long week. Consequently, I’m not feeling much like hovertext or captions. So just have some pictures of a cute little scruffy pup that I ran into when I was down in San Diego for my birthday, two years ago.
So pretty and extra fluffy!
All I want is a spouse who looks at me like ANY AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD looks at me.
Someone has the ‘golden eyes’ down pat, huh?
Not all dogs like hugs, but you can just tell this one does.
Roman and I ran into one another a couple years back when I was visiting Cleveland for a conference. It’s inexcusable that I haven’t posted him before now: I didn’t get a lot of great pictures of him, but he’s our first mountain cur! And a fine honorary Dog of San Francisco.
In fact, I had never even heard of a ‘mountain cur’ before I ran into him. Which is saying something, given that I’m just about celebrating my eleventh blogaversary!
I don’t know anything about this guy. I think Autumn took the picture. Maybe a Lab dachshund mix?
Edit: Per Autumn, his name is Bogart, and he is a Lab/Bassett mix. Evidence is inconclusive on whether he is named after Humphrey Bogart or ‘Don’t Bogart that dog food!’
Someone knows their ballet ‘third position’.
Welp. Yesterday my computer kind of melted, and I got to spend most of Thanksgiving and Black Friday backing it up and then reinstalling the OS. There was nothing wrong with it except for the OS, and I haven’t the foggiest idea why or how it happened.
Regardless, happy belated Thanksgiving. I am thankful for Trixie, here, who is one of my favorite dogs in the land. She is the shop dog for a local grocery store, and is always happy to greet friends, especially when they come bearing skritches.
Shibas always seem to love chin-scratches more than other dogs, and cheek scratches even moreso!
Autumn’s babysitting a pair of boxers. They’re so adorable, with the saggy lips and the floppy-down ears and the puzzled expressions.
Don’t you just want to ‘blblblblblblbl’ those lips?
Someone looks awfully sly. I wonder what she’s thinking?
Been a while since we had a foofly wiener on here!
