Double Dog Birthday: Kuma the Miniature Poodle and Sumba the Labradoodle

Posted on February 25, 2025 by Adam Lang

No, it’s neither Kuma’s birthday nor Sumba’s: it’s mine! So happy birthday to me, and to celebrate I post these two (3 and 13) cool puppers!

A Miniature Poodle And A Labradoodle, Both Wearing Sunglasses And Red Vests — Apparently these two are fully used to the sunglasses, and will even sit patiently and wait for them to be put on before they leave the house.

Goldendoodle Wearing Mirrored Sunglasses — If you look closely you can see my bald head in Sumba’s sunglasses.

Poodle Wearing Sunglasses And Sticking Out His Tongue — No matter what I do to this image it looks crooked.

Puppy of the Day: Theo the Maltie-Poo

Posted on February 19, 2025 by Adam Lang

Theo is six months old, and at least 80 percent floof by unit volume.

Maltie Poo Standing On Hind Legs — Seriously, that is one giant pile of ultra-soft fluff right there.

Dog of the Day: Royce the Golden Retriever

Posted on February 18, 2025 by Adam Lang

We’re blessed: two days of goldens in a row. Royce isn’t quite as young as Toto (at 1 year old) but he’s just as friendly, happy, and, of course, itchy.

Golden Retriever Looking Very Happy — I’m doing all right, but I’d give a lot to be doing as all right as Royce is.

Puppy of the Day: Toto the Golden Retriever

Posted on February 17, 2025 by Adam Lang

I don’t think Toto (7 months old, a girl) is in Kansas any more, but I don’t think there’s an emerald city nearby either, so she’s going to have to settle for San Francisco. And San Francisco is glad to have her!

English Cream Golden Retriever Puppy Scratching Herself — If you look carefully in the background you can see the name of the street I live on!

English Cream Golden Retriever Lying On Her Back On The Sidewalk — Toto spent half the time I was with her scratching herself with a paw and the other half scratching her back on the ground. Itchy girl!

Dog of the Day: Zeus the Labrador Retriever Hound Mix

Posted on February 11, 2025 by Adam Lang

Zeus (9) is, in this picture, an absolutely prime example of what happens when you drool and then shake: you get lines of drool across your snoot. A problem we all face, sooner or later.

Red Labrador Retriever Hound Mix Looking Sad — Dunno what kind of hound. Coonhound, maybe?

Dog of the Day: Rosie the Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on February 10, 2025 by Adam Lang

Ring around the Rosie! She’s four, and she may have short stubby legs but she can run rings around you!

Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi Tilting Her Head To One Side — I just noticed that there appears to be a rectangle cut out of the top of Rosie’s head and now I can’t unsee it. It really did look like that, I promise!

Fluffy Pembroke Welsh Corgi Grinning With Her Ears Folded Back — Fully convertible ears!

Sunday Switchup: L’Egg

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Adam Lang

I don’t have any animals to post on this lovely Sunday, but I do have something that came first. I hard-boiled half a dozen eggs late last year and I ate five of them and then opened the sixth and it was… magenta. Aggressively magenta. So I didn’t eat it. The end.
