Dog of the Day: Edward the Pig in a Blanket or Dachshund in a Doggie Bag?

Posted on January 19, 2022 by Adam Lang

Edward is sixteen years old! And he walks just fine, thanks, he just gets ‘bagged’ when he’s inside stores or going for very long walks.

I don’t run into sixteen-year-old pups very often. This one was pretty friendly, despite appearances.

Not sure how well he can see, but he could smell just fine.

Dog of the Day: Valerie the Husky Malamute Cyborg Mix

Posted on January 18, 2022 by Adam Lang

I spotted Valerie (4) last month, and she was doing a bit of limping. I had to get closer to her to find out that it was because she was a CYBORG: as you can see, she has a bionic leg! I was a little surprised to hear that she had been born with ‘three and a half legs’ since she was limping so badly, and I felt sad for her, until I found out that it was a very new prosthetic and she was still getting used to it. Apparently she can run and jump and such just fine once she’s accustomed. Hopefully I run into her again in a park or something where I can watch her play!

My notes say “75% husky, 25% malamute, 200% awesome”.

Dog of the Day: Baggie Dog

Posted on January 17, 2022 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get any info about this pup, except (if I recall correctly) the bag was custom made by his mom.

Funny that it’s so much easier to see his tongue than his eyes.

Sunday Switchup: Coyote Exercise

Posted on January 16, 2022 by Adam Lang

The Panhandle is a little strip of green space in San Francisco that’s around three quarters of a mile long by about… 260 feet wide. There’s almost no shrubbery, and not even all that many trees. Apparently there are also some coyotes.

Oh well, at least they keep fit!

Dog of the Day: Toby the Bassett Hound

Posted on January 14, 2022 by Adam Lang

Man, I’m not sure Toby’s family knows quite how lucky they have it. Toby is 13 years old, but when I saw him I assumed he was 2 or 3, based on the way he moved. He’s got that ‘just a half a step away from flying’ bounce that I associate with dogs that don’t know they aren’t still puppies, and if his health is good enough that he still thinks he’s a puppy at age 13, then all I can do is be green with envy.

Thirteen years old. That makes him… older than this blog. (Which started in November of 2009.)

I spent most of November and December with my eyes looking like that. But his are SUPPOSED to.

Dog of the Day: Logan the German Shepherd Golden Retriever Mix Puppy

Posted on January 13, 2022 by Adam Lang

Logan (6 months) looks a bit like he was built from spare parts, doesn’t he? Lucky for him, that’s the kind of dog I like best! (At least, until I see another kind of dog. Okay, I’m fickle, I admit it.

Even at six months, he still has an awful lot of puppy ‘fro left.

Magnificent ears. I wonder if either or both will stand up?

Dog of the Day: Starfire the German Shepherd Husky Mix

Posted on January 11, 2022 by Adam Lang

When I first saw Starfire (2) I figured she was a white shepherd, but apparently she’s a husky mix instead.

I should have guessed at the husky part, given the very light nose.

Plus, that is a very husky grin.

Dog of the Day: Cody the Laundrypuppy

Posted on January 6, 2022 by Adam Lang

I had a rare daytime sighting of laundrypuppy a couple weeks ago. Apparently he and his dad are none the worse for wear after their harrowing experience of late last year. Thank goodness!

Dog of the Day: Sweet Soulful Black Lab

Posted on January 5, 2022 by Adam Lang

I found this pup outside of a restaurant a while back. He is very sweet, and a very, very good boy.

Black Labrador Retriever Looking Soulful
If you look closely you’ll see that the leash is just dangling there. If he took a couple steps it would just fall off the railing. So, like I said… a very, very good boy.
