Dog of the Day: Shiba Inu

Posted on December 20, 2025 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but I did get the fact that he’s thirteen years old, but still ‘spry’.

Shiba Inu With His Eyes Half Closed
This picture isn’t quite fair. I mean, he looks good, but he doesn’t look this old in person. It’s the half-closed eyes, I caught him blinking.
Shiba Inu Face
Such a sweet face.

Many Dog Day: Corgi Puppy Yoga

Posted on December 19, 2025 by Adam Lang

I stopped by the Puppy Yoga place that I wander by most Saturdays, and what did I find but CORGI DAY! So I managed to talk them into letting me in, so I could take better pictures with fewer reflections. I promised I’d post a link to their site, so here it is: www.puppies-yoga.com.

No hovertext or captions, too many cute pictures!

Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

Posted on December 18, 2025 by Adam Lang

They really do ambush your heart, don’t they?

I bet this guy didn’t last more than a couple hours before being adopted.

Macy’s Puppy Day: Two Little Cuties

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Adam Lang

Turns out this year there aren’t just puppies in the Macy’s windows, there’s also a little corral where people can go to play with the puppies and decide whether they want to adopt.

I’m going to be visiting that corral at lunch every work day until I leave for Christmas!

Little German Shepherd Puppies
I only got a couple pictures because petting them was much more fun.

Dog of the Birthday: Aisling the Lurcher

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

WHOA. What’s this? TWO POSTS in ONE DAY? Well, yeah! I promised to post Aisling today, because it’s her ninth birthday today!

And DOUBLE whoa! That makes two breeds we’ve never seen before on da blog, posted on the same day! After SIXTEEN YEARS! (Well, sorta. Lurchers aren’t exactly a breed, they’re what you get when you mix a sighthound like a greyhound with a herding dog or terrier. They have a long history of being associated with poachers and other ‘freedom-loving individuals’ in the UK and Ireland. But still… they’re a thing! And a thing we’ve never seen before!)

Lurcher Curled Up On A Carpet
I ran into Aisling at the same gaming convention I met Emmett at. It was a good place for pups all around.

Dog of the Day: Larry Byrddog the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Puppy

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Adam Lang

I love Larry’s name. She’s only 6 months old but she’s a big personality!

(Wow! This is our first Wirehaired Pointing Griffon? How could that be?)

Oh No I Missed Mac The Goldendoodle’s Birthday!

Posted on December 14, 2025 by Adam Lang

Darn it! Yesterday was Mac’s fifth birthday, and I had it set up in my calendar and everything. But the alert must’ve gone off while I was driving off to a party, and I didn’t have it set up to re-alert me. Boo! I’m a bad boy!

Mac is not a bad boy. Mac is a very good boy.

This is one of Mac’s many tricks. ‘Hold Hands!’

Double Dog Day: Xander and Xena the Australian Shepherd Poodle Mixes

Posted on December 13, 2025 by Adam Lang

Xander (short for Alexander Hamilton) and Xena (warrior princess!) are 7 and 3, respectively. I don’t have any notes about which is which, but if I had to guess, I’d say the brown is Xander.

One wanted petting, the other instantly wanted to play!

Dog of the Day: Dexter the Pug

Posted on December 12, 2025 by Adam Lang

Dexter (5) is a very, very athletic pug! Also every time I type ‘pug’ I misspell it ‘pub’. So maybe he’s an occasional drinker, too?

Pug Looking Very Expectant
Got a little more of a snoot than the average pug, so he doesn’t have nearly as many breathing issues.
Pug Retrieving A Blue Ball
I did get to pet him, but only in between fetches. He was utterly focused on fetch.
Pug With Blue Ball
For a pug he’d have made a great Australian cattle dog!

Many Dog Day: Strutting Pups

Posted on December 11, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into a dog walker last month. He calls his service Pupstrut, which I like, though obviously not as much as ‘San Francisco Pup Scouts’.

Man Walking Six Cute Dogs
His friends were all pretty well-behaved, too, which is definitely not a given when you’re walking this many.
