Dog of the Day: Sage the (Dilute) Doberman Pinscher

Posted on September 11, 2024 by Adam Lang

I was briefly baffled by Sage. I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s not a Weimaraner, or a vizsla, or…’ Fortunately mom set me straight: she is a straight Doberman, with dilute coloration.

She is also a cheerful, chipper, happy nine-year-old girl.

Puppy of the Day: Morty the Adoptable Chihuahua Mix

Posted on September 9, 2024 by Adam Lang

I ran into Morty last weekend at a party, and he was very happy to meet me, despite the fact that he was only six weeks old and thus couldn’t run around and play with me and lick my ankles like he wanted to. I discovered that he was being fostered, and was soon to be adoptable, and the note I have says that he was at the ‘Oakland Animal Shelter’, but that doesn’t seem to exist, and I can’t find him on any of the sites (Oakland Animal Control, Oakland SPCA, etc) that I checked. So maybe he’s just not available yet? If you think he looks like a match for you, keep your eyes on the sites, I guess!

Chihuahua Mix Puppy Nuzzles Woman — I dunno, maybe he’s just ‘foster failed’ unusually quickly?

I was walking down the sidewalk when what should I see…

(Apparently she does this all the time, encouraged by mom.)

Posted on September 3, 2024 by Adam Lang

Chessy (aka Chestnut, not Chesapeake) is three months old in this picture. She has a great deal of interest in pretty much everything except, possibly, reading.
