Dog of the Day: Cassidy the Field Spaniel Puppy

Cassidy! Ran into her a couple of years ago, and for some inexplicable and inexcusable reason I haven’t gotten around to posting her until now. She’s a field spaniel, just like Baylor. Not a whole lot of them around, let alone adorable little 14-week-old squirmy ones. The world needs more adorable 14-week-old squirmy field spaniels, I think. Don’t you?

She was really nervous about saying hi to Autumn… for around 30 to 40 seconds. And then she decided her belly needed scratching and that was that.

I’m trying out a new WordPress editor. So far I haven’t figured out how to make hovertext, and my captions aren’t coming out right. I’m going to keep working on it.

Dog of the Day: Scruffy Wiener

I ran into this wire-haired mini-dachshund in happier days, when I was down at the beach.

Can you imagine having fur like that and getting sand all over? It must itch SO MUCH.

DoSF Bunday Edition!

We haven’t had a Bunday supplement in quite some time. Thanks to my friend and former coworker, Brian, who is currently wandering the country between jobs, we get one! Thanks, Brian!

This little friend was hanging around Brian’s picnic table, hoping for a dropped scrap or two.

Dog of the Day: English Cream Golden Retriever Puppy

Ran into this pup in a local pet store. He was being a very good boy.

They have puppy obedience classes here once a week, during normal times.

“The Sarge” is a rather large chewy treat stick. A bit oversized for a puppy. And yet… it’s always good to have aspirations

Dog of the Day: Jax the Dalmatian Pit Bull Mix Puppy

Another dog I ran into on my trip down to San Diego, this one on my birthday! Jax was only 6 months old, and a giant bundle of rambunctious fun.

Jax is a quick change artist. From noble…

Dog of the Day: Scruffy Littler Terrierist

It was a long, long day, and just the start of a long, long week. Consequently, I’m not feeling much like hovertext or captions. So just have some pictures of a cute little scruffy pup that I ran into when I was down in San Diego for my birthday, two years ago.

All I want is a spouse who looks at me like ANY AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD looks at me.

Dog of the Day: Sad Golden

Someone has the ‘golden eyes’ down pat, huh?

Not all dogs like hugs, but you can just tell this one does.

Dog of the Day: Roman the Mountain Cur

Roman and I ran into one another a couple years back when I was visiting Cleveland for a conference. It’s inexcusable that I haven’t posted him before now: I didn’t get a lot of great pictures of him, but he’s our first mountain cur! And a fine honorary Dog of San Francisco.

Brindled Mountain Cur

In fact, I had never even heard of a ‘mountain cur’ before I ran into him. Which is saying something, given that I’m just about celebrating my eleventh blogaversary!

Dog of the Day: Labrador Retriever Mix

I don’t know anything about this guy. I think Autumn took the picture. Maybe a Lab dachshund mix?

Edit: Per Autumn, his name is Bogart, and he is a Lab/Bassett mix. Evidence is inconclusive on whether he is named after Humphrey Bogart or ‘Don’t Bogart that dog food!’

Someone knows their ballet ‘third position’.
