DOGSPOTTING: HIPPIE DOG

This guy! What a fun-loving-champer-gamper! Just moseying around looking for some snacks, belly rubs, and maybe a face to lick. I have recently gotten into sheepdogs. They seem really lovable and sometimes a little dopey in stature, despite their innate tendency to herd and control the situation. He looks too fun to push around some sheep! Party dog! This flopsy fellow looks like a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, I think. If only I could find a non-shedding breed mixed with a sheepdog!! I would probably faint from the excitement of such a dream come true.

DOGSPOTTING: NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD

I have NO IDEA what kind of dog this could be, but it is one of the most awesome sights I have had the pleasure to behold. Driving on the 10-W (well, riding, I have a driver/boyfriend) I spotted this fella' on his way to the beach, smiling, curls in the air, with not a care in the world! He is actually smiling! And quite a big guy I might add. I screamed, squealed, and frantically grabbed my camera out of my purse. I barely managed to get these two shots. This image seriously changed my day/weekend/life for the better. I think we all wish we were that dog, or at the very least, wish we could could be his driver.

DOGSPOTTING: A MASTIFF-PIECE

Wrinkle dooogggggg!!! Spotted waiting for his owner outside of Urth Caffe in Santa Monica, this Mastiff (English? Neapolitan?) was such a find! This is the kind of dog you could settle down with in a 1 bedroom house near the beach, and spend your days walking, living the good life. Just you, and your gigantic, faithful dog. He would probably protect you from an intruder just by sitting on them and not letting them up til the cops arrive. I wonder if the owner lets him sleep in the bed with him? Would you have to get a custom made doggie bed? Is his doggie door half the size of the human door? How much food does he eat each day? Where is his favorite dog park? So many big dog big questions!

DOGSPOTTING: ADOPT HIM!

How freaking cute is this guy!?!? Spotted at a rescue adoption tent in Santa Monica, getting pet left and right. 1) I love love love doxies 2) I SUPER LOVE dogs/cats in bandanas 3) Pet adoption is the way to go!!! This is just a great look for this guy, I have no doubt he is already in his forever home. Who could say no to those floppy ears, that little nose, and don't even get me started on those eyes! Again, I love dogs with red coats. Like all dachshunds, this little fella' has that honest, endearing, adopt me kind of face. If this dog asked to borrow $100, I would totally do it. And I NEVER loan anyone money.
