Posted on May 15, 2021 by Adam Lang

Okay okay they’re sea lions. But sea lions are in the family known as ‘eared SEALS’ so deal with it!

Dog of the Day: Theo(dore) the Goldendoodle

Posted on May 14, 2021 by Adam Lang

Theo (3) is a pretty unusual goldendoodle: scruffy fur (trimmed close at the moment), white blazes on nose and chest. But he’s definitely got the attitude of a goldendoodle, and that’s what really counts.

I believe it was Theo’s mom who told me she collects photos of abandoned shoes. I encouraged her to start a web site called The Shoes of San Francisco. If she does, I’ll be sure and link it!

I got annoyed by the background and erased most of it. It’s a little weird-looking. I need more training in this stuff.
Goldendoodle Jumping Into The Air
It’s hard to tell, but his hind legs are at least six inches off the ground. Heck of a leaper!

Got a great grin, doesn’t he?

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever Mix

Posted on May 13, 2021 by Adam Lang

Look at this guy. Look at how happy he is. I didn’t get his name, but if I recall correctly he’s eleven or twelve.

Man, I wish my hair had turned white like that instead of all falling out. I think I’d look awesome in white hair.

Sometimes you can tell which dogs like hugs just by looking. This guy likes hugs. I guarantee it.

Dog of the Day: Luna the Samoyed Husky Mix

Posted on May 11, 2021 by Adam Lang

Keeping Luna’s (1 year old) attention was a bit tough, but when I made some funny noises she looked over at me and cocked her head to the side and become 10% cuter, even though I never thought that was possible!

That ear fluff tho!

Dog of the Day: Arley the Welsh Terrier

Posted on May 10, 2021 by Adam Lang

I ran into Arley (2, a boy) in Carmel, but it turns out that he was on vacation, just like me, only Arley was down from Seattle! That’s a long walk for such a short pup!

Welsh Terrier
He’s got quite a glint in his eyes!

Sunday Switchup: Jeeves

I thought the best butlers were English, but this Frenchie seems pretty good at what he does.

Seal-turday Supplement: Harbor Seal Family

Posted on May 8, 2021 by Adam Lang

These three were wiggling around a bit, but mostly enjoying their sunny morning in Point Lobos. And so was I.

The little one did some laps around the rock before he? she? popped out onto the rock. Mom and dad did not appear interested in playing along.

All the little ones I’ve seen are silvery, but the adults are a lot of different shades, and it doesn’t appear to be dependent upon gender.

Dog of the Day: Great Pyrenees (With Special Cameo)

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Adam Lang

Heck of a pup! Also, these pictures were taken with my new (-ish) Sony mirrorless, an A7Riii. When it’s bright outside, it does have its issues with shadows, but it’s amazing how much detail I can pull out of a picture.

I edited several humans out of this picture. They’re just so much less cute than the dogs are!

Pretty nice zoom, right? This is a crop from the previous picture.

As is this. Not too shabby!

Dog of the Day: Red Border Collie

Posted on May 5, 2021 by Adam Lang

I remember that this pup was a border collie, but not her name. I do recall that one of the people walking her was a vet, and that she knew what a ‘recessive red‘ coat color was.

She was VERY VERY FOCUSED. But then, there was a ball involved.

It amazes me that dogs don’t get cold in the Pacific.

I just love the proud attitude here.

Apparently she liked lying down in the water when she was overheated from running around like a crazy thing.

Double Dog Play: Two Sons of a Beach!

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Adam Lang

Saw these two playing on the beach during my little vacation. They were sure having a lot of fun.

It was a really nice, relaxing week. I think I’m about ready to retire. 😛
