Dog of the Day: Marlowe the Australian Cattle Dog Mix Puppy

Posted on May 14, 2020 by Adam Lang

I went out and was very careful to maintain my social distance in a dog park a couple days ago. This weekend I’m going to do it again, only this time I’m going to remember to bring the camera with the zoom lens.

Fortunately, Marlowe (5 months old) was happy to come close enough to show off his ridiculous ears. They go floop floop floop when he walks, and FLOOPFLOOPFLOOPFLOOPFLOOP when he runs. I can’t imagine what the ACD is mixed with, but I’d love to spend a bunch more time with him trying to figure it out.

No captions and no hovertext today. There’s just too much cute in there. I can’t handle it.

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever Mix

Posted on May 12, 2020 by Adam Lang

This fellow’s name is not, in fact, Jones. Or, at least, if it is, it’s quite a coincidence.

I am not sure what he is. Maybe a Lab mix, but also maybe some kind of German pointer mix? Anyone have any ideas?

Poor pup seems to still be a bit freaked out by people wearing masks.

Sunday Switchup: San Francisco Sweets Review, Brioche Bakery Brioche French Toast

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Adam Lang

Okay, some people would say that this was brunch and not dessert. And I say, ‘this is DESSERT for BRUNCH’. Nyah.

Unfortunately, it frankly just wasn’t all that good dessert for brunch. Some of Brioche Bakery’s stuff is quite good, including their sandwiches, salads, egg dishes, and macarons. But this was just average French toast. Texture, meh. Taste, well, it tasted like French toast. With berries. And, to be fair, real maple syrup. And the whipped cream was clearly homemade and fresh, since it had half deflated by the time it got to me, literally less than 20 minutes after I ordered and less than 10 minutes after it was picked up. But overall, meh. 2 out of 5. ‘Fine if there’s nothing else to eat.’

Dog of the Day: Horacio the Yorkshire Terrier

Posted on May 6, 2020 by Adam Lang

I dogsat quite some time ago for Horacio and his younger sister, and posted a picture of them a while back. Well, here’s another pic of Horacio, doing what he does best: yawning, and sticking out his tongue much farther than any tongue has a right to stick.

I know they’re wider, but I’m not sure I’ve seen even a Great Dane tongue that was longer.

No hovertext or captions, too much cute!

Dog of the Day: Lilac the German Shepherd Siberian Husky Mix

Posted on May 4, 2020 by Adam Lang

I ran across Lilac (3) last week. She looks terribly vicious, doesn’t she?

Lilac is a complete sweetheart. The muzzle is because she has a leeeeeettle bit of aggression issues against other dogs, but only when she’s on leash.

Someday soon I will pet this dog. Oh yes.

Dog of the Day: Rocket the Formosan Mountain Dog

Posted on May 1, 2020 by Adam Lang

I ran out this afternoon to pick up a package, and ran into a few pups. This one is Rocket, a one year old Formosan mountain dog who was rescued from the streets of Taiwan.

Black dogs are murder to photograph in the sun, but this didn’t come out too badly.

For a pup raised on the streets, she sure is a friendly sort. She was almost as frustrated as I was that I couldn’t pet her.

Dog of the Day: Trixie the Shiba Inu Store Dog

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Adam Lang

Trixie is a good friend of mine! She is the number one employee at The Hill Top General Store, in charge of customer and employee happiness. She is quite talented at social distancing, being very calm and ladylike, but she does prefer to get some chin scratches if it is quite convenient. I hope it will soon be convenient again.

Shiba Inu

She doesn’t run up to you and try to get you to pet her, but sometimes she does park in front of you and refuse to move until she gets attention.

Double PUPPY Day: Fredrick Floof the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Lady the Miniature Australian Shepherd

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Adam Lang

I ran into the two of these pups (Fredrick Floof, 6 months, and Lady, 4 months) a couple of years back. Alas, they fell by the wayside. But here they are!

Fredrick Floof had an instagram, but apparently no longer does. HOW DARE THEY? But he does appear to have a Reddit account!

Also, that woman clearly is a kindred spirit.
