Caturday Supplement: Frankie The Cutie

Posted on July 17, 2021 by Adam Lang

I’m cat-sitting this week! Frankie hid from me most of the afternoon, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up, and now she’s lying on the bed waiting for me to come cuddle.

Dog of the Day: Maggie the Italian Mastiff Puppy

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Adam Lang

Okay, so I’m pushing the definition of puppy here, but Maggie is still only 10 months old. Quite a big ‘un, isn’t she?

She’s our first cane corso puppy, and only our third one ever.

Puppy of the Day: Levi the Golden Retriever

Posted on July 13, 2021 by Adam Lang

I was out for a walk this morning and, mirabile dictu, I ran into four puppies in a row, all between 5 and 7 months in age. I am taking this as a sign and am announcing this and next week as PUPPY WEEKS!

Today, meet Levi, who I ran into a month ago. He is two months old and he will lick you.

Just looking at this picture made me yawn.

Caturday Supplement: Fica The Traveller

Posted on July 10, 2021 by Adam Lang

Fica (a boy, a nickname for ‘Phillip’) is a visitor from overseas. He’s quite adventurous, for a kitty, and seems to be carefully keeping track of everything going on outside his little chauffeured vehicle.

We were hanging out near the pond at the Palace of Fine Arts. Fica seemed quite interested in the egrets and great blue herons.

Dog of the Day: Pretzel the “Border Collie Mini Doodle” Puppy

Posted on July 8, 2021 by Adam Lang

First of all, how awesome a name is ‘Pretzel?’ Second, I am not sure what ‘border collie mini doodle’ means, but it’s what I have written down. Possibly half goldendoodle and half border collie, or possibly just border collie/poodle. Anyway, she’s eight months old, and looks amazingly scruffy but is actually quite soft. Just like me! (Well… if I don’t shave for a day.)

This is a friend of mine who helped me pet ALL THE DOGS a couple weekends ago. (The one in the fox hoodie, not the scruffball.)

Almost qualifies as a ‘schnozz shot’.

Dog of the Day: Buddy the Siberian Husky German Shepherd Mix Puppy

Posted on July 7, 2021 by Adam Lang

Buddy, AKA The Dog With All The Ears, is six months old, and can hear us talking about him, but I’m sure he doesn’t mind. Even if he wasn’t terribly friendly with me after I giggled at him. He did seem to like the friend I was with when I saw him, though, and she did a little giggling of her own.

Pretty goofy, huh? Trust me when I say that they’re even goofier in person.

Dog of the Day: Thor the Keeshond

Posted on July 6, 2021 by Adam Lang

Thor is 1! And he is your very talkative friend. I ran into a couple of other keeshonds a couple of days before I ran into Thor — does that make that week a keeshond cluster? Anyway, you’ll be seeing them shortly.

Every picture but this one has Thor grinning like a goof.

There, now, that’s more like it.

Dog of the Day: Miska the Siberian Husky

Posted on July 5, 2021 by Adam Lang

Miska (a 5-year-old girl) reminds me of a certain sign, which I have helpfully included below the pictures of her for your edification.

Most huskies seem to be always laughing. Even if the joke is at your expense.

Miska does love you. She is just very reserved about it.

Dog of the Day: Sage the Vizsla and Friends

Posted on July 1, 2021 by Adam Lang

Sage (1, girl) and these two didn’t know each other at all, but she was totally up for being hugged by her new friends.

She was skittish but warmed up to me after half a minute or so. She saw these two and fell in love instantly.

I think she was actually trying to protect her new friends from me here.
