Dog of the Day: Uh Oh…

Posted on October 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

Uh oh. I took pictures of this pup on the same day I took pictures of yesterday’s pup. And I only got one name down. So… do you think THIS guy is Sky the German shepherd husky malamute? Or yesterday’s? Could be either one!

Siberian Husly Mix With Heterochromia — Meh who cares this pup is AWESOME that’s all that matters.

Dog of the Day: Sky the Husky Malamute German Shepherd Mix

Posted on October 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Sky at a little noontime concert a couple of weeks ago, and then I ran into Sky again at an after-work ice-cream-social-and-concert a few days later. Sky just likes music, apparently!

Black German Shepherd Husky Malamute Mix — Sky also likes people, other dogs, grass, treats, belly rubs…

Some more pictures from my 2023 trip. These cuties noticed me and wondered if I might want to come swimming.

Double Dog Day: Sonbahar and Drogon the Anatolian Shepherds

Posted on October 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

Oh man! Sonbahar (a girl, the name means Autumn) and Drogon (a boy) are two awesome pups! They’re working dogs, livestock guardians and herding dogs for a farm somewhere out there. They’re out there doing work every day, which must be what keeps them so young: they’re 13 and 11, over 100 pounds of muscle apiece, and they’re in amazing shape!

Anatolian Shepherd Looking Mischievous — This is Drogon. The expression says it all.

Smiling Anatolian Shepherd — This is Sonbahar. The two of them are among the most social, people-friendly Anatolians I’ve ever met.

Dog of the Day: Benze the German Shepherd

Posted on September 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

Benze is two, and has his own instagram account: BenzeByTheBay (which he shares with his kitty-sister Macha). Maybe when he grows up a little more he can become a dog blogger like me!

German Shepherd Looking Mildly Sarcastic — I did a fair bit of running in circles around Benze trying to get him to look in my direction. When he finally did, I got this expression. Okay, I’ll take it!

Dog of the Day: Atticus the Giant Schnauzer

Posted on September 29, 2025 by Adam Lang

Every time I see a pup like Atticus (2) I think ‘There really ought to be more giant schnauzers around’. They’re big enough to be fun to wrestle, they’re smart, they’re not as hyper as some other medium breeds cough golden retriever cough, they’re not quite as, ah, ‘idiosyncratic’ as huskies… I dunno. I just like ’em. If someone offered me one, and an apartment to go with it, I would snap that offer up in a millisecond.
