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

Uma is nine weeks old. I squealed so high that it was ultrasonic when I saw her. Her mom couldn’t hear it, but she could. Sadly, the puppy wasn’t allowed down. Not all the vaccinations yet!I can’t wait until I see her next time, because then she’ll be vaccinated and I can PLAY WITH HER ..read more

Someone’s too pooped to pup. I really envy animals their ability to just flop down and relax any time, anywhere. I could use a heaping helping of that myself ..read more

Okay, check this: not only do we have two birthday pups in a row, but Figaro is twelve years old! He sure doesn’t look it, does he? And he definitely doesn’t act it either. Ran into this pup when I was waiting in line for a chocolate festival in Golden Gate Park.Gotta be some golden retriever in there, along with corgi. Plus… maybe something else ..read more

Chester and Fitzie are brothers, and they’re both 11 months old, so still technically kittens. And yet somehow they are totally calm and cheerful and okay with hanging out outside and saying hi to folks. I hear there’s some leash training going on too, but I’m not sure how it’s going so far. Chester is the one in the yellow harness.Totally calm, even when a little kid came up and asked to pet them ..read more

Voltaire’s folks decided they loved the name, and it’s not like there’re a whole lot of people named Voltaire out there, male or female. So let’s hear it for this fifteen-year-old pup! My brain has definitely not been behaving itself for the past couple weeks. Very strange time. Very strange brain, too… but you knew that, if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time. Pomeranians are a funny kind of small dog. They’re kind of like samoyeds, size times 0.5, speed times 2 ..read more

Maya is an 8-year-old blue merle Chihuahua I ran into today in the Santa Cruz Mountains. My team from work rented an AirBNB down here for a team offsite last night and tonight, and went for a rather nice hike (1200+ foot vertical climb and drop, 6+ miles round trip). There were very few dogs, but the ones we did see were extra cute. He’s missing a couple of teeth, which explains the slightly goofy expression ..read more
