Dog of the Day: Cardie the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Posted on January 8, 2020 by Adam Lang

No, I am not sure why this one-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi is named ‘Cardie’, nor why she seemed so keen on barking at me. But enjoy some pictures of her (no hovertext or captions, though) anyway, won’t you?

Dog of the Day: Manny the Huskorglet?

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Adam Lang

Manny (7) could be the half brother of yesterday’s pup! Certainly he looks half huskish. His dad thinks he’s half-corgi, too, but with the ear floppage I wouldn’t be 100% surprised if he were half standard dachshund (those things are surprisingly large) too.

I don’t think he has a part-blue eye, I think that’s a reflection. In fact, I think if you go to the highest resolution version of this picture (click the pic, then click the desired resolution) and zoom really far in, you can see ME reflected in his eye.

Dog of the Day: Yoko the Siberian Husky

Posted on January 6, 2020 by Adam Lang

Yoko? Oh, no! Yoko (4, female) left smeary nose-prints all over my lens. Needless to say, I was not too distraught.

When I see huskies in SF, I try to remember to tell their owners about local places that get snow in the winter. Huskies really ought to have snow to play in.

We haven’t had a good schnozz shot in a while.

Dog of the Day: Mocha the Thai Street Dog

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Adam Lang

Man! Mocha is an 11-year-old Thai street dog, but you’d never know either of those things: super-friendly and super-active! And wow… that stripe!

The stripe down his back is apparently natural. Pretty amazing!

Mocha also knows how to wave hi. SO CUTE.

Isn’t that amazing? The fur is super soft on the sides, and only a little rougher on top. But much longer.

Dog of the Day: Bane the Havanese

Posted on January 2, 2020 by Adam Lang

Autumn pointed out Bane from inside of a restaurant. He was sitting out in front along with his folks, and Autumn said “Hey, is that dog grinning at me?”

Apparently so!

It was a crepe restaurant. This may have had something to do with the longing looks.

Dog of the (New Year’s) Day: Bisou the Australian Cattle Dog (Mix?)

Posted on January 1, 2020 by Adam Lang

‘Bisou’ means ‘kiss’, and Bisou likes to give kisses. She’s 1, and they told me she was an Australian cattle dog mix, although she looks very much like a full-blooded one to me. Except for that happy tail.

I ran into these three right near my home.

Not the most well-trained, perhaps. But sweet as all get-out.

Don’t they make a gorgeous family?

Dog of the Eve: Baghira the German Shepherd Mix

Posted on December 31, 2019 by Adam Lang

Baggy (6, and probably half German shepherd, and maybe Lab?) is among the goofiest dogs I have seen in quite some time. He very much wants you to have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve.

I ran into this pup in South Bend, outside of a chocolate shop.

He has the goofiest ears, and the greatest grin. Alas, he did not get any chocolate.

Dog of the Day: Atrius the Standard Poodle Puppy

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Adam Lang

I just ran into Atrius today, while on Christmas vacation in Indiana. He’s eleven weeks old and was a baby shower gift from the folks at a pet store to one of their dog groomers. Now, I’m not entirely sure I would get another baby for someone as a gift for someone celebrating a baby, but, well, at least this one is likely to be house-trained a lot earlier.

Apricot And White Poodle Puppy

I had no idea that poodles didn’t have curly hair from early on.

I’d be just fine if their fur stayed this way. It’s super soft.

Dog of the Day: Begley and His New Christmas Present

Posted on December 26, 2019 by Adam Lang

I’ve been a bad boy, not posting for four whole days! So in recompense, here’s Begley, one of Autumn’s family dogs, with his favorite Christmas present.

Begley was supposed to have calmed down about five years ago. He hasn’t.

However, he does get tired from leaping all over people after only 20 to 30 minutes now. As oppsed to three hours.

Pretty little kitty. I bet she got snapped up right away.

She tried charming everyone who went by. And did a damn good job.
