Dog of the Day: Charlie the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

Charlie (2, girl) is a total goofberry. I met her outside a grilled cheese restaurant (yes that’s a thing and yes we have a number of them in San Francisco because of course we do) where she was waiting for his grilled cheese.

Sunday Switchup: Metal Mutt

Somebody is always up for playtime!

This is out in front of a dog park not far from my office.

I’ve been seeing him a lot. Because he’s also near my doctor’s office.

Caturday Supplement: Macy’s Window Kitten

Sorry it has a weird line through it, but I thought it was worth it.

The spot on the nose is pretty good too.

Dog of the Day: Max the Maximum Mutt With All The Ears

I have run into Max (5) before, but the pictures didn’t come out. This time? I think you’ll agree that they came out just fine.

I want to play with his ears, but he wasn’t too down for that.

If I owned Max I would make a blog entirely dedicated to him. Or at least an Instagram page.

So much goof in such a compact package.

Dog of the After-Birthday: Pickles the Happy Mutt

Pickles (male, 12, and apparently a mix of Dalmatian, German shepherd, pit bull, and collie!) is the pup I mentioned whose birthday I forgot, last Saturday. I’m such a bad person.

Pickles’s human popped by in a comment and said the following:

This website is pawesome! You met my dog, Pickles, yesterday! Just wanted to let you know about foster field trips where some shelters allow you to take a dog out for a couple hours at a time, which helps socialize the dog and gives them more exposure to potential adopters. I do field trips myself, and then write fun bios on social media to highlight their personalities.

Maybe if we’re nice, she’ll give us some links to those bios. And if that kind of thing sounds like fun, talk to your local shelter. If they do it, great! If not, maybe you can suggest the idea.

Twelve but he gets around all right.

I gather he got lots of birthday treats, too.

Dog of the Birthday: Rider the Friendly Entlebucher

I ran into a birthday dog a couple of days back and promptly forgot to post him. Sorry, Pickles! I’ll post you soon, I promise!

And today I ran into another birthdog, and I promised myself I wouldn’t forget, even though my computer is busy being copied to a new one so I need to do this from my phone. So here is Rider (2 today!), the friendliest Entlebucher I’ve ever met.

Dog of the Day: Golden Retriever Puppy

Some old pictures from the Airbnb headquarters. I didn’t catch this pup’s name, I was too busy squealing, taking pictures, and petting the pup.

Places that let you bring your dog to work are just as good for the dogs as they are for the humans.

I’m really glad my new job is even more dog-friendly than my old one was. Almost never a dog-free day in the office!

There’s even a puppy, although I gather he’s a bit too disruptive to bring very often.

Sunday Switchup: The Best Hood Ornament Ever

I saw a nifty little trucklet out in front of my office the other day. I don’t think Mack makes anything this small any more, and I think that’s a real shame. No idea how their trucks were but their hood ornaments were great!

It has an amazing mustache, doesn’t it?

Dog of the Day: Connor the… Humongous Dachshund?

Connor, Autumn’s family dog, seems to have transmogrified!

Can you believe how different he looks? Heck, even when I lost all my hair I didn’t look THAT different.
