Dog of the Day: Squooshy King Charles Cavalier

Posted on September 2, 2025 by Adam Lang

I didn’t get this pup’s name, but that’s Autumn’s hand. She just put out her hand and the pup laid her chin in it and was like ‘do you love me now?’ And we all said ‘YES!’

Somehow I see more doggie bags at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market than I do everywhere else combined.

Double Dog Day: James Joyce the Repeat Customer Irish Wolfhound and Mary Shelley the English Bulldog Puppy

Posted on September 1, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into James Joyce (9 years old!) so long ago that I barely remember, which is to say, Before Covid, back in 2019. And I am delighted to tell you that he is looking just as happy and healthy now as he was when I first met him, which is just amazing for a wolfhound. I bet part of it is his friend Mary (8 months) helping keep him young.

Caturday Supplement: Frankie the Chocolate Point Siamese

Posted on August 30, 2025 by Adam Lang

Frankie (2) is a local celebrity: he gets out and about a lot, and apparently he has a tiktok account but I can’t find it. Probably a typo on my part. Sorry, Frankie, but at least you have a new social media presence here!

No, really. This is just him chatting back to me.

Dog of the Day: Snickers the Gigantic Bernadoodle

Posted on August 27, 2025 by Adam Lang

Snickers (3) is somehow bigger than many Bernese mountain dogs, at a whopping 110 lbs. He could tow you around town in a wagon. He could tow you around Lake Merced water skiing.

I’d love to walk Snickers, but I’d hate to try to walk him anywhere he didn’t want to go.

Dog of the Day: Stormy the Fooooofly Wiener

Posted on August 25, 2025 by Adam Lang

I love Stormy’s name, and also his velvety-soft (4-year-old) ears.

I still have a few more pics from the dog surfing competition to post. Soon, I promise.

Cat-Walk Supplement: Bi the American Shorthair

Posted on August 23, 2025 by Adam Lang

I ran into this cutie while I was out for a wander on Russian Hill. She’s only 1, but she’s fearless!

Dog of the Day: Padfoot the Goldendoodle

Posted on August 22, 2025 by Adam Lang

A friend of mine is currently dating a woman from San Diego. I have never met her, but I have now met her dog, who my friend brought up to the Bay Area while she was out of the country. We brought him to the Surfing Championships, where he had a blast.

Padfoot loves the beach. Which is to say, ‘Padfoot is a dog’.

Surf Dog of the Day: Rosie the Labrador Retriever Tandem Surf Champion

Posted on August 21, 2025 by Adam Lang

Rosie won the human/dog surfing section of the great surf-off. She’s a local favorite, from Santa Cruz, and has a pretty neat instagram.

You can tell from the pictures that she loves what she does. Also, big shout out to her dad, who had to fight some really harsh waves during one of the competitions just to get out far enough for Rosie to get a run in. Looked exhausting.
