Dog of the Day: Ollie the Australian Shepherd Puppy

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Adam Lang

Well, things are calming down, and as far as I can tell nobody has been set on fire by either side of our great national divide, so I’m going to call that a plus. I think our puppy emergency is officially over… but I ran into a couple of puppies over the weekend and I can’t resist so I will be posting them anyway. This one is named Ollie, and he is a soft happy adorable Australian shepherd of four months… and he is HUGE for his age.

Also: all of the pictures except the first two were submitted by Ollie’s folks, and are published as-is with no captions or hovertext. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! (Especially the last one. THAT PUPPYBELLY!)

It was next to impossible to get good pictures of him. It was little dim outside, and he was a complete blur.

That floof is just as soft as it looks.

Encore Puppy of the Day: Skippy the German Shepherd

Posted on November 6, 2020 by Adam Lang

Well, we’re still in need-a-puppyland, so here: have a previously-unpublished picture of the already-posted Skippy, at 10 weeks of age. RIDICULOUS!

I wish we could check up on Skippy, but his instagram seems to have been taken down. BOOOO!

Dog of the Day: Buster the Maltese Puppy

Posted on November 5, 2020 by Adam Lang

My pledge to you is that I will keep sending puppies for as long as we so desperately and obviously need puppies. So here is Buster. Buster is a 13-week-old Maltese puppy, named after Buster Keaton. (If you don’t know who that is, go and find out and immediately watch him! He was amazing.)

Buster’s dad drove down to L. A. and back to pick him up last week.

I don’t blame you, pup: that’d be a tiring drive for me, too.

Day After Election Puppy: Bently the Labrador Retriever Puppy

Posted on November 4, 2020 by Adam Lang

We need another puppy, so here’s Bently (13 weeks, boy). We’ve had several Bentleys on here before, including one rather older and less furry than most of our stars, but this is the first Bently.

Bently was looking a lot like I think most of us are feeling right now.

Election Day Puppies

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Adam Lang

I think we all need some puppies to get us through the day. So meet Denali (the German shepherd/husky/doberman mix), Bixby (the female tricolor Aussie) and Finn (the male merle Aussie). Finn weighs almost twice as much as Bixby, but they’re brother and sister, from the same litter, both aged 17 weeks. Finn is gonna be huuuuuge!

Also Bixby and Finn both have instagrams, at Bixbytheminiaussie and wigglebuttadventures (!) respectively. You should visit them. They are full of an incredible amount of cuteness. Denali is no relation to either of them, they are just instant friends.

No captions and no hovertext for today’s adventure. Too much cuteness, sass, and attitude for me to capture with mere words. (Although check out the first three. Amazing how thoroughly Bixby is able to tangle herself up in her own leash. That takes talent!)

Dog of the Day: Connor the Irish Cheez Doodle

Posted on October 30, 2020 by Adam Lang

We’ve seen Connor here before. He one of Autumn’s family dogs. He’s “Irish” because he’s half Irish setter, he’s “doodle” because he’s half poodle, and he’s cheez because he’s all cheese.

Connor is a somewhat bitey sort of gentleman, too. Or at least nippy. But he means well. We think.

Dog of the Day: Ziggy the Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy

Posted on October 29, 2020 by Adam Lang

Ziggy is well-named: he zigs and zags with great energy and enthusiasm. He is also only eight months old, so he is going to be big for a mini-Aussie!

No captions and no hovertext, because I am just not feeling it tonight. But I did edit out his leash for you. And let me just say that I love that little head-tilt…

Dog of the Day: Scruffy Terrier Pit Bull Mix

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Adam Lang

I got this pup’s name, but the note for that day somehow just vanished from my phone even as I watched. So weird.

Anyway, I do remember that he’s some kind of scruffy-terrier/pit bull terrier mix.

I also recall that he was very, very dubious about me.

Bark bark bark! Sheesh. I must be losing my touch from all this dog-isolation.

Dog of the Day: Chauncey the Basset Hound

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Adam Lang

The Chauncinator! Chauncey knows how to work the refs: he has the long face down to an art.

Chauncey is also good at resting his face in a water bowl for surprisingly long periods of time. And blowing bubbles.

And drooling. All over.

Dog of the Day: Cookie the Great Dane

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Adam Lang

Cookie (short for Cookies And Cream Ice Cream!) is an eight-year-old Great Dane puppy. Why ‘puppy’? Well, apparently she had walked several miles when I ran across her, and was getting tired of walking… she wanted to run!

I could tell she was still energetic… it took a fair amount of doing to get her to sit.

She’s not huge for a Dane, but she’s got a lot of presence.
