Dog of the Day: Papillon Mix

Look at that expression. This dog is clearly alert. Which is a good thing, because the world needs more lerts.

Not sure what else she is, but definitely some papillon. Those ears!

Caturday Supplement: Lounger

One of Autumn’s pet-sitting charges. Seems very… relaxed.

Certainly relaxed, isn’t she?

Dog of the Day: Tito the Chihuahua

I have been remiss in my dogly duties! That’s because my cold came back and I swear I have slept roughly two thirds of the last week. I’m still not out of the woods yet… I was feeling optimistic earlier today but…

Meh. You don’t want to hear about my cold. I certainly don’t. What you want to do is see Tito, 9, who got awfully chilly on the day that I ran into him.

Snug as a bug in a rug, as my mom used to say.

Dog of the Day: Bandit the Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Easy to see why they call him Bandit. But that’s not the only reason. He’s 7, but he still acts like a rambunctious little puppy.

The googles do nothing! Except make Bandit even more adorable.

Clearly vicious, right?

Caturday Supplement: Winkie

A friendly kitty from the SPCA.

Pretty Tiger Tabby Cat

Someone was a street kitty for a while, I bet.

Double Dog Day: Autumn’s Snorgly Goofhounds

Autumn’s pups got to play in the snow, shortly after I left Indiana.

They certainly do like it…

…don’t they?

Dog of the Day: Cardie the Pembroke Welsh Corgi

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?

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

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

Black And White Siberian Husky With Blue Eyes

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

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.
