Dog of the Day: Rocco the Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Mix

I ventured forth into the wide world today, in search of a vaccine (which I got!) and some dogs (which I also got!) Rocco (9) is one of today’s catch. He was very well-behaved: he didn’t try to leap up on me, but he was utterly delighted to let me pet him, and leaned against my chest and very clearly did not want me to leave. I am so looking forward to getting out and about and petting everyone’s dogs again!

I should go take pictures in Golden Gate Park more often. Only got these because my public-transit route home got a little wackier than expected.

Dog of the Day: Cuddly American Pit Bull Terrier (And Friend!)

I found a friend! (This was a while back, but I hadn’t noticed this picture until now.)

I’ve looked worse. At least in this one I don’t have TOO many chins.

Dog of the Day: Score One For Possibly Scott the Possibly Australian Possibly Cattle Probably Dog

I don’t have any notes about possibly-Scott, but if I zoom in really close on his doggie tags I see ‘SCO<something> THE DOG’. The letter after the O doesn’t really look like a T but it looks more like a T than just about anything other than a reflected-upside-down J (which seems unlikely) or maybe an I (which… SCOI<something> THE DOG)? I was hoping for a minute that it said ‘SCORE ONE FOR THE DOG’ but there isn’t enough room. So we’re going to call him Scott.

He does look like a full Australian cattle dog, but he’s got a tail, so who knows. We’ll just call him Possibly-Scott.

Dog of the Day: Lulu the Not Entirely Pleased American Pit Bull Terrier

Pretty sure Lulu would rather be eating a donut than be imprisoned by one.

Are the inflatable ones really more comfortable, I wonder?

Dog of the Day: S.O.O.S. (Shibe Of Outstanding Squooshiness)

THE CHEEKS. THEY ARE SO FLUFFY I WANT TO BURY MY FACE IN THEM!

I think his name is on the tag but every picture I have of him, if I zoom in close to read the tag, it’s just blurry enough to give me a headache.

Dog of the Day: German Shepherd Puppy

Inexcusable! I neglected to post this pup two years ago when I ran into him. How did that happen, I wonder?

Man I am really getting low on pictures, though. Good thing there’re only TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL I’M IMMUNE TO COVID!!! YAAAAAY!

Caturday Supplement: Big Boy Buddha the Tabby

So I thought Big Boy Buddha was a calico, but it turns out that calico cats have three-color coats, orange, white, and black. Cute either way!

He looks so attentive and cheerful, without all those sly sidelong glances.

Dog of the Day: Nala the Samoyed

I’ve posted some Nala pictures before, but I ran into her dozens of times (since she worked in the same building that I did!), and haven’t posted any from this encounter before. Mostly because I only took a couple of pictures. The rest of the time was spent petting her.

Having a Samoyed must be like having a heated, cruelty-free sheepskin to cuddle with every night.

Dog of the Day: Lazy Goldendoodle

I posted a picture of this pup a couple years ago, but I somehow missed using this one. Shame on me!

I’ve been feeling like this pup looks in the evenings, but have been somehow still unable to sleep. It’s a curse!
