This is about dogs in Noe Valley! In the last few weeks, on days we take our sweet lab up to Noe Courts Park, he's thrown up his food later that day. He's fine otherwise. So, we're thinking that something might be going on in the park somehow.

Has anyone else had this issue in Noe Valley? Our vet is puzzled.

Irish Terrier Practises Street Yoga

Was it yoga, or was there another dog just out of frame and this Irish Terrier wanted to be friends?

Irish Terriers are one of the oldest terrier breeds and are nicknamed “daredevils” because of their famously spirited and fearless temperament. During World War I, Irish Terriers were used as messenger dogs in the trenches, carrying communications between units under incredibly dangerous conditions. They were so effective and brave that they earned widespread admiration. One officer wrote that they were “extraordinarily intelligent, faithful, and honest, and a man who has one of them as a companion will never lack a true friend.” That stretching behaviour you see in the photo? It’s actually a natural “play bow”. Dogs use it not just to stretch their muscles but also as a social signal to other dogs (and sometimes humans) that they’re feeling playful and want to engage. So this little terrier might just be inviting passersby on Oliver Plunkett Street to join in the fun!

My pup is fine, thankfully. But seriously folks...if your dog is hostile to other dogs...keep it on a leash!!!! And pay attention!

I shouldn't have to get your dog away from mine and keep it from biting!

Be a good neighbor, and keep your hostile dog on a leash.
