Who's Cutest?

This Week’s Cutest: Bozzie!
by Walker Parks | on February 10th, 2010 | in Who's Cutest?
Bozzie

Bozzie

Bozzie is a 2 year-old Labradoodle who lives in Alameda, CA. He loves running, sniffing, playing with the neighbors and going on long walks along the Bay. His most unusual quirk: he has nyctophobia (he’s afraid of the dark) and refuses to venture outside after sunset. He also refuses to enter darkened rooms and if the skies start to darken while he’s outside, he walks super close to his owners.

Baby, a five-year-old great dane from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the Humane Society’s second-annual Dog of Valor. When Baby’s owner Elwood Cardon, 82, drove off the road, Baby kept him warm and then went for help. Dood dog, baby!


Half Chihuahua, All Heart

The call of the open road

The call of the open road

I adopted Cosette in 2007 from the Little Big Dog Rescue group. I’m still not certain what kind of dog she is, but when the rescue group originally found her at 8 weeks she was suffering from severe demodectic mange, had lost the majority of her fur and could barely walk. She and I are pretty much attached at the hip, and she has accompanied me on filming assignments all across the country. She loves traveling, running, hiking, and sleeping anywhere soft.

Baron
by Walker Parks | on October 9th, 2009 | in Features, Who's Cutest?

This is Baron, my 15 month old Australian shepherd.  He loves frisbee, swimming, camping, and just being outside.  He is constantly trying to sneak sips of beer, especially when he thinks no one is looking.  He is probably the cutest dog ever. —Matthew Aliota, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Lauren from Maine writes: My dogs are the cutest and you’ve lost your mind if you disagree! The pup is Eider. He’s nearly eight weeks old and hails from just outside of Oxford, MS (wink, wink).  He enjoys naps, snacks and more naps.  And snacks.

The one who can fly is Orli.  She is four years old and her hobbies including running full tilt around our house, then resting her head on our tables and counters.  Why?  Because she can.


It’s the Nug!
by Walker Parks | on August 19th, 2009 | in Who's Cutest?

Nug and I have been together four years now and live in Mukilteo, north of Seattle where he loves swimming, hiking, squirrels, walks around Green Lake and car-riding with head in the wind and tongue out. Best buddy ever! —Kevin Yau

That's a good nug

This week’s cutest – Bodie!
by Walker Parks | on July 24th, 2009 | in Features, Who's Cutest?

Bodie hails from Boulder, Colorado and readily admits that his dad is a pretty big fan of The Wire. When he is not stirring up his water bowl with his two front paws, he is happily chewing on whatever he can find around the offices of Mix1 – where employees are able to bring their dogs to work every day, not just June 24 (Take Your Dog to Work Day). Bodie has a little trouble listening sometimes, but if you have some food on hand, he is likely to do anything you ask for a treat!

Our friend, adventure photographer Lucas Gilman, provided this week’s Who’s Cutest. Enjoy.

mo_7109

This is Mo, a four month old Chocolate Lab, also affectionately known as Mo Money and Chocolate Thunder. Sorry ladies, he’s attached and he and his Bernese Mix girlfriend, Ellie Mae, frequently enjoy long walks around Wash Park at sunset followed by a romantic candlelit bowl of puppy chow. He attends workshops held by his “pack” in Boulder, where he’s attended to Barking at the Neighbors for Beginners, and Digging 101. Though he’s learn a lot from Gracie and Taxi, his favorite activities still remain munching on socks, eating goose poo, and of course destructing the occasional roll of toilet paper.


Slobber, Slobber on the Wall, Who’s Cutest of Them All?
by Chance Googling | on May 29th, 2009 | in Who's Cutest?
This is Forrest!

This is Forrest!

This is Forrest, my 9 mo. old black lab!  Forrest is a Leo; he’s single and he loves the ladies and anything that he can find on the ground, though he is especially fond of pinecones and twigs.  He’s my hiking companion, trail running companion, and has become quite good at boulder hopping and swimming.  He is fearless and full of personality!  Forrest has the sweetest, happiest go lucky demeanor, but has shown he is ready to step up & protect his mommy, if needed.  Gotta protect his meal ticket, I guess.

I included 3 pics, because I couldn’s send 300.  ;-)   The river pics are of his first swim an Fontana Lake in NC, and the other pic is of him loving on the twigs – what a face!  Cute, no?

Peace & Love, Charly


This Week’s Cutest: Cade

Cade tired from fetch. Think your dog's cuter? Prove it: letters@outsidemag.com

Cade tired from fetch. Think your dog's cuter? Prove it: letters@outsidemag.com

Cade (pronounced Kay-duh), is a 5-year-old mutt that my husband and I adopted from the Humane Society when she was six months old. She’s a Lab/Pit mix, and she loves three things in this world: the beach, tennis balls, and squirrels. So taking her to the Oregon coast to play tennis ball on the beach, off leash, is up there with sleeping under the covers in our bed—or eating peanut butter by the spoonful.

This photo was taken at the end of a long tennis ball fetching session, when she had actually worn herself out. This rarely happens.

Love the blog, Outside! Thanks for doing it!
