Dog of the Day: Tuxedo the Pomeranian

Posted on January 23, 2025 by Adam Lang

Tux is a 13-year-old fella, with quite a lot of pep for his age.

Black And White Pomeranian
Pomeranians are among the longest-lived pups I’ve run across. I met one who was twenty!

Looks almost like a raccoon! (An ADORABLE raccoon.)

Dog of the Day: Sprout the Pembroke Welsh Corgi(‘s Butt)

Posted on January 22, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Sprout on the same day as yesterday’s pup, only Sprout was in O’Hare International, in Chicago.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi Looking Worried
Sprout wasn’t entirely pleased with his travel experience. I can’t say as I blame him, I’m not at my happiest in airports either.

My CTO and I have one-on-one sessions periodically. They are on my calendar as ‘Adam & Michael Rating Corgi Butts’. I give this one a 10/10.

Puppy of the Day: Loki the French Bulldog

Posted on January 21, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into Loki on my way home from my Christmas break, in the airport in South Bend, Indiana. I don’t think I’ve ever met a Loki before who wasn’t either a husky or a corgi, but I’m sure this pup is just as mischievous as any other Loki!

I probably would have named him something like ‘Cookies And Cream’ so it’s probably just as well I didn’t name him.

Puppy of the Day: Jasper the Golden Retriever ROCK HOUND!

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Adam Lang

Jasper is just a puppy, but he’s already got a job: he’s the store dog for a little store called the ‘Rock Hound Rock Shop‘, near Kalamazoo, Michigan, which I visited while I was out in Indiana for Christmas. For this and other acts of extreme cuteness, I hereby name him an honorary Dog of San Francisco!

Golden Retriever Puppy Looking Sad
Jasper milks that ‘I’m a sad puppy dog who does not get enough petting’ face for all it’s worth…

This is how he rests between customers.

Dog of the Day: Clapton the Repeat Customer Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Adam Lang

Look who I ran into again: it’s Clapton the corglet!

Clapton has more trouble with his hind legs than I thought (boo for degenerative myelopathy!) but he’s still living his best life, getting out and about every day, and touching grass more often than most of us software engineers. Hooray for Clapton!

Dog of the Day: Luke the Cocker Spaniel With A Little Chihuahua And Dachshund

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

Luke is eleven years old, but like most dogs his size, he’s not really showing his age.

I spotted Luke from across the quad, and went to grab some pictures of him in his bag…

I got ONE picture of him in the bag, and a couple dozen of him rolling in the grass and begging for petting.

Sunday Switchup: Chianti the Pineapple Conure

Posted on January 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

Chianti (2) and her mom were out taking the air on Friday, when I ran into them. I love this idea: we need more people out walking their birbs.

Chianti has an Instagram, by the way. You should check it out!

I am reliably informed that Chianti speaks three languages!

Conures are the breed of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Although they’re ‘cherry-headed’ and not ‘pineapple’.

Aw man. SF coyotes are carrying mange, and passing it on to pets. Be careful out there, folks!

Dog of the Day: Cody the Shiba Inu

Posted on January 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

Cody, I am reliably informed, ‘loves people but not so much dogs’. Silly pup! Dogs are the best people!

Shiba Inu Looking Dubious
Oh well. I’m sure he gets plenty of love, petting, and play-time from the humans around him.

Dog of the Day: Maple the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix

Posted on January 7, 2025 by Adam Lang

Maple is one of my favorite flavors, and true to her name, Maple (3) is super sweet!

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix
Sigh. On a low-glycemic diet, so she’s the only maple I’ve had in several weeks.
