How Dogs #OccupyHearts

My dog advice if you want to occupy hearts, is to start with a come hither glance. Works well on fluffy and short-hair pups.

Friday Friend - Michi the senior emperor

Did you meet Michi yet? He's the really last emperor! BOL My female met him at DOGMA, the SF/SPCA adoption event this year. He's wearing an original costume made just for him, by hand.

Friday Friends - Smalls dogs of Hayes Valley

The Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco has some really cute dogs. It is well known that I have a sweet spot for small dogs, and it looks like I missed out last weekend. Going to have to get started on getting over my issues with the moving bed (car) if I want to visit this part of town. Grrr.

Black Dog Appreciation Day - Friday Friends

Can a dog be shocked? If we can, then I am because it shocking to me that black dogs in shelters are usually the last to find homes and get adopted. What the?! That is crazy! Some of my best friends are black dogs. Hi Bear! Hi Funston! Hi Kona!

I mean as a big furry girl whose fur coat is so thick that I understand someone hesitating to adopt a dog like me if they lived in the desert. I mean seriously, I don't think I'd look all that good with a seasonal shaving because it was like 100 degrees every day for months on end. Grrr.

Dog with a bone to pick: You went where without me?

TGIF. This week has been a tough one for this senior dog. Having my pack split up, at my age, is not easy. I'm still a bit glued to my female's hip after five days. And to top things off, PL decided to go stomp some grapes without me! Don't let this photo fool you, I'm using lots of conflict avoidance techniques and breathing exercises in it. BOL

Puppy-a-Day Project: Home stretch

Puppy a Day ..while my female is away

So close, it is Friday and I'm half way to handing out stinky senior dog kisses to my female at the airport! Can I just say how adorable Petunia's puppies are...she is doing a great job and @HWAC has amazing foster families!

America's Next Top Dog Model Search or How My Female Got Me to Fly Across the Country

If you've seen my puppy-a-day project photos, hopefully you understand that I am missing my female, an important member of my pack. She is away at a pet blogging conference. Well, just when I thought she was playing with other dogs and having fun without me, I see this...

She took an hour's worth of my fur with her in a ziplock, and is letting me virtually meet lots of my virtual friends and fans! Awwwwwww.

Friday Friend - Helen Woodward Animal Center

Puppy Face Plant! My female might be a foster blogger for the Helen Woodward Animal Center but after a few weeks now, I'm borrowing some of the cuteness she has been hoarding.

Grouchy Puppy Smurf

Grrrr the evil wizard Gargamel is so mean to the tiny blue Smurfs! If only someone would draw me into that story. I'd be Grouchy Puppy Smurf, a furry blue watchdog over the Smurf village.

Friday Friend: Mr. Bongo

Senior dogs are handsome. And I'm not just saying that because I am a cute older dog. I've got evidence. May I present, Exhibit A
