Puppy of the Day: Hazel the Vizsla Siberian Husky AND MUCH MUCH MORE Mix

Posted on September 26, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Hazel and was just baffled by her lineage. Turns out that apparently that was partly because she has at least half a dozen breeds in her, and partly because she’s actually only nine months old.

She also looks very sarcastic, doesn’t she? That’s mostly because she is a rescue and was very, very dubious about me.

Dog of the Day: Chubbs the Repeat Customer Newfoundland Dog

Posted on September 24, 2024 by Adam Lang

Chubbs! I am sadly remiss in my memory, as I didn’t even notice I’d run across Chubbs before, even though it was only last year. Well, he is three now, and just as magnificent as ever.

Brown Newfoundland Dog
Chubbs really isn’t. I mean he’s not skinny, but he definitely doesn’t have a lot of extra fat on him! (I wish I were as skinny as Chubbs.)

Klaus is 5, and, like any husky mix, is fabulously goofy.

Sunday Switchup: Hawk Tuah

Posted on September 22, 2024 by Adam Lang

Autumn was driving down the road in Ireland the other day and she saw a big bird in the road. Who hopped out of the way, rather than flew. So she went and grabbed a local friend and captured it and took it to a wildlife rehab place.

Caturday Supplement: Rua the Irish Kitty

Posted on September 21, 2024 by Adam Lang

Rua is a kitty sent in by our roving reporter in Ireland (Autumn). According to Autumn, Rua is ‘very sweet but turns to evil quickly’. According to the Irish language, Rua’s name means ‘red’. According to me, EEEEE FLUFFY KITTY EEEEE!

Dog of the Day: Quill the Golden Retriever

Posted on September 20, 2024 by Adam Lang

Quill is 2, and not nearly as sarcastic as the pictures make her look.

Dog of the Day: Wheelie the Poodle Repeat Customer

Posted on September 19, 2024 by Adam Lang

Wheelie! Wheelie is 14, and I’ve taken pictures of him several times before, starting literally a decade ago. Even though he’s reeeeeally tough to photograph, I even managed to post him once before. But I still didn’t remember him when I saw her a couple of weeks ago. I am such a bad person.

Edit: According to one of our readers, Wheelie is a boy! Management regrets the error, and has corrected the text.

I think he forgave me. Eventually.

New Breed of the Day: Anjee the Pyrenean Sheepdog

Posted on September 16, 2024 by Adam Lang

Just when I think I’ve seen every breed that’s out there in this wide world of ours, I run into something new. Anjee (4) is a new one on me! Pyrenean sheepdogs are the siblings of the Great Pyrenees: the Great is a livestock guard dog, and the shepherd is for herding. So. Awesome. But I don’t get why there aren’t more Anjees floating around out here. The breed is smart and friendly and (I’d guess) not nearly as stubborn as the Great Pyrenees.

Pyrenean Shepherd
Plus Pyrenean shepherds are super healthy, their average lifespan is 15 to 18 years! Daaaaamn.

Sunday Switchup: Irish Countryside

Posted on September 15, 2024 by Adam Lang

Autumn didn’t just send me a catsnoot, she also sent me a really remarkable picture from her current trip to Ireland. I’m so jealous. Maybe someday.
