Dog of the Day: Macy’s Window Puppy

We’ve had our first window kittens already this year, so now it’s time for a window puppy!

I’m really hoping they start ramping up the SPCA display next year. At LEAST do them for longer than just noon to 5 PM!

Sunday Switchup: ‘Viral’ (Crustaceal?) Advertising

Gotta admit, this silly little poster really tickled my fancy.

Hungry Caturday Supplement: Tiger Tabby

Someone did a trap-neuter-release program near the SF Airport, and now someone else keeps these cuties well fed.

I feel sorry for the birdies, but I wouldn’t go out and kill all the kitties either. Metropolitan scruples!

Double Dog Birthday: Boo the Birthday Girl Australian Cattle Dog Mix and Her Boyfriend Simba the Miniature Australian Shepherd

I was at work today and went out to pick up my lunch. It wasn’t ready yet, so I did a quick walk around Union Square and stuck my head into the Williams-Sonoma, where I ran into Boo and her boyfriend Simba, and discovered that today was Boo’s birthday! She’s two, so everyone say happy birthday!

I had two dozen pictures. How did THIS one end up non-blurry and all the rest of them end up blurry?

Dog of the Day: Harper the Bernadoodle Puppy

Harper (7 months, a girl) makes me want to be musical. “Oh I went outside for to see this dog, sing Bernadoodle puppy all the day!”

“Oh she wagged so hard when she saw me, sing Harper Bernadoodle all the day, she nearly took me off at the knee, sing silly-mix-a-poodle all the day!”

Dog of the Day: Sorrowful Goldendoodle

Someone was getting a (gasp) bath at our local dog wash!

Someone seems to be feeling rather betrayed just now, don’t you think?

Dog of the Day: A NAMELESS Wire-Haired Dachshund Puppy

I ran across this pup in the beginning of November. His dad said that he was so freshly adopted that he hadn’t even been named yet (and was, at the time, almost four months old). He’s a full-sized dachshund, not a mini, and wire-haired and scruffy and fearless.

(Having some weird troubles with my site all of a sudden. For some reason, everything works great in Safari except whenever I try to create a new post, it just hangs forever. If I do it in Firefox or Chrome it works fine. Just utterly baffled. Anyone out there have any clues?)

I have never met a dachshund named ‘Noodle’ yet, and I really think it would make such a perfect dachshund name.

Sunday Switchup: Christmas Assembly

When I was heading into work a few weeks ago, I discovered that they were assembling the Union Square Christmas tree. IMO it has the tree lighting ceremony beat all hollow.

I was really worried: I’d heard Macy’s was going to shut down next year. But apparently they’ve cancelled it, so yay! There will be more Macy’s window puppies and kittens for the foreseeable future!

BLACK CATURDAY Supplement

The day after Black Friday is, of course, BLACK CATURDAY! I am afraid I don’t have any black cats for you today, but what I do have is the first Macy’s Window Kittens of the year!

I came by at 1 and then again at 2:30 and they were asleep. Apparently they went completely nuts from 12 to 12:30 and had to recharge. Me too, kittens, me too!

Double Dach Day: Two Headed Pupmobile

I don’t have names or vital statistics for this cerberesque silliness, but they’re pretty adorable, huh?

It’s kind of like an RV for dogs!
