Dog of the Day: Freya the American Bulldog Cane Corso Mix Still-A-Puppy

Freya will be one year old in August, and she has had a ruff life! She wasn’t treated very well when she was younger, and consequently she’s very timid and very easily overstimulated. Mom adopted her later on and is working with her to get her used to the world. It’s taking some time, but mom’s good at this stuff: if I recall correctly she works with animals for a living. So Freya is in good hands.

Mom got a genetic test done. I’m not 100% sure I buy it — where did the merle come from? and the build is awfully light! — but who knows?

Freya apparently still thinks she’s ten pounds. She’s closer to sixty. This results in some silliness.

Dog of the Day: Linc the Yorkshire Terrier Poodle Mix

Two truths and a lie: Linc is four years old, not a puppy. Linc has puppy-soft fur, so soft you just want to bury your face in it. Linc is a purebred fluffmuppet.

Additional truth: I love Linc.

Puppy of the Day: Monny (Monaghan) the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Poodle Mix

I ran into Monny (4 months) on Saturday, when it was damp and dreary and dim outside. Consequently, all of the super puppy action shots I got are too blurry to post. Happily, this one came out okay.

Monny is named after an Irish pub in the Marina, Monaghan’s. Perfect for a ginger!

And just in case you weren’t sure, that’s fifteen HUMAN years, and Daisy is still going strong, taking long walks and even doing a little dancing on the side.

Daisy CAN look serious.

Happy ADOPTION DAY to Daisy the Poodle (Mix?) (Also Featuring Her New Sister Violet the Pekingese Mix)

Violet (7) and her folks just adopted a new pup, Daisy (also 7) today! That’s even better than a birthday, because the present is a new life!

I didn’t even know that poodles came in brindle, but apparently they do!

Dog of the Day: Tony Stark the ‘Sixty Percent Husky And Stuff’

Hey, I don’t make these things up, that’s what Tony’s dad said. He’s also a boy (predictably) and four years old.

He’s also ‘very interested in my dinner’.

But ultimately was quite willing to be distracted.

What a goof.

Dog of the Day: Goofy the Bull Terrier

Now what did Goofy (female, 7) do to deserve a name like that? Well, some pretty goofy stuff, as documented on her instagram.

Don’t tell anybody, but I got to pet Goofy. I feel very privileged.

Dog of the Day: (Awesome) Sauce the Shiba Inu

I must admit, I have never met a pup named Sauce before. However, I’ve run across Waffles and Pancakes and a Cheeseburger, so I guess a Sauce isn’t out of line. This particular one may look like a puppy, but she’s actually five, and very saucy indeed.

She doesn’t look like sauce, she looks like a perfectly campfire-browned marshmallow!

Dog of the Day: Cali the Australian Shepherd Lab Mix

Cali (girl, 6) is a sweet pup with a waggy tail-stub.

You can tell it’s a good stretch because she’s stretching her toes out too.
