No biographical information for this one. Just a fearsomely floofy fella. Ran into these two in the theater district of SF.Just hanging out with a dog. I’m always down for some of that myself ..read more

Chiba (2, a girl) is a real cutie, although I definitely wouldn’t have guessed the breed mix. Don’t know the story behind the name, but Google sez it’s a city in Japan.Now that’s a lot of happy ..read more

We do get these occasionally in SF, though I’m not always in a spot where I can see them through the buildings ..read more

Ooh! It’s DogFest weekend, I almost forgot! If you’re in SF and have a pooch, drop by Duboce Park on Saturday, the 27th, between 11 AM and 4 PM for lots of fun with your fuzzy friend. If you’re in SF and don’t have a pooch, drop by DogFest and adopt one! Or at least pet a bunch of ’em. More info is here: https://mckinleyschool.org/dogfest/ Click the links at the top of the page… the front page isn’t terribly informative. Hope to see you there ..read more

Apparently Colette is half Long-Coat Chihuahua, half Shih Tzu, and six months old. I sure am seeing a lot of puppies lately. Not that I’m complaining! Colette does not like looking at cameras. Nevertheless, I finally managed to get a shot ..read more

Man, this guy’s a tough one! He sure does have his calisthenics down pat, though, doesn’t he? I dunno. Kind of dilute for a bernadoodle. Maybe an Aussiedoodle? Border-doodle?Might still be a puppy. Wish I’d grabbed a note about this one.I don’t even recall what trick this was, although I think it was one.He also likes belly rubs.Not shown: collision with camera ..read more

I don’t have any notes for Mishka, but his name is on his tags, and I think he might be a cockapoo. If you look in the phone you’ll see a reflection of the sign we were standing in front of: ‘Korean Corn Dog’. I don’t think Mishka is Korean, but he might be a little corny!Mishka basically means ‘little mousie’ in Russian (which I took in high school). Google says it means ‘bag’ in Ukranian. I’m choosing to assume that this is a little mousie ..read more

I’ve loved covering the World Dog Surfing Championship the several times I did it. This year it’s not clear there’s going to be one, because the costs have apparently gone way up… the local city government is charging way more for permits and such. If you want to see more funny pictures of dogs falling off of surf boards, act now ..read more

‘Doom the Shepherd’ could be mistaken for an instruction, or perhaps the name of a particularly pastoral punk band, but in this case Doom is his name. Doom is 11, and is a mix of German and Anatolian shepherd. I said ‘wow, I don’t think I’ve ever run into an Anatolian mix before, that’s really unusual’ and they said ‘well, he is from Turkey’ so I guess that explains a certain amount! Doom is the best canine friend of Rohnan (yesterday’s dog). The two of them look pretty silly together, but unfortunately none of my group photos turned out ..read more

Rohnan is 3. I’ll be posting his best buddy tomorrow! Boston terriers always look like they’re grinning so wide the tops of their heads are going to fall off.They’re also just about as bouncy as Tigger ..read more
