This beautiful black curly-haired retriever is backing St Kilda to win Saturday's Grand Final. He is outside Blights Shoe Repair and getting many pats from other supporters - there are a lot of St Kilda supporters on Glen Huntly Road.
I saw him a couple of times and when he was just displaying the colours and not responding to pats and conversation he was zoned out.
I have had time out from this blog but I hope I am on board again with this cutie. She looks like a Shiatzu and is waiting at the Bunnings' loading bay. I don't think you would say she was waiting patiently. She was looking everywhere with her bright eyes darting about showing great curiosity in everything around her. 
This lovely cross breed had many admirers. I thought she could be anxious to get home before her beautiful silky coat picked up any of the dust and debris from the St Kilda Streets. She was showing lots of patience.
He was very still waiting on the back of the ute. He simply watched me as if he wanted to say something but he couldn't think of the words.
This labrador cross is a loving dog living with a young family. We arrived at a fund raiser for a local child care centre and found him very patiently guarding the family's pusher. 
There is a small heat wave in Melbourne with the temperatures rising to about 35 degrees some days. This energetic black dog was eager to play games and cool off in the sea at St Kilda. It was a great morning for a swim.
It was a lovely sunny day on Saturday and as we wandered along High Street, Armadale we found these two dogs waiting. The owners were nowhere in sight and as we stopped to admire, we wondered about the little black one. A couple of people passing announced she was a Bitzer.
She is a beautiful Bitzer! It would be interesting to know what bits have created her - does anyone know or feel they can hazzard a guess?
A winter's morning by the Albert Park Lake and dogs are out for walks but when their owners' stop for breakfast at the Carousel Cafe a bike stand is a good place to wait. 
This white labrador is also watching, intently who is coming and going from the Carousel Cafe and to do this he has a bar of the bike stand in the way. You would think he would move but perhaps he feels secure behind it.
Life can get rather boring when you are waiting and I believe one of them is telling his friend a secret.
It is too early for spring and I bet the next time I see these two they will be rugged up.
Charlie's eyes are unusual. Are they Greyhound or Kelpie eyes? I don't know either of the breeds well enough to know but I find them a little disconcerting.
His owner said that he fell on his feet when they found him. They love him and are trying to teach him not bark every time he feels the urge.
I wonder if the look in his eye is one of anxiety? Perhaps it is just the way he views the world - from piercing eyes.
These two dog ride to the library in style. The boring part is waiting. They are both cross breeds and very lively. They use their waiting time to snooze and re-new their energy base.
This Chinese Crested was in a sunny window of the Retrovision Store in Richmond. 
The sun was shining when this fellow was out but I can believe that they must feel the cold and with winter upon us the Chinese Crested dogs would have to be cosseted. I read also that their skin can sunburned just like a human’s skin and therefore owners have to take care not to have their dogs in the sun too long without sun screen.
These two Pugs are in the same family. The big Pug is a 3 year old pure breed pug and the little one, who is full grown, is a 3/ 4 Pug and 1/4 King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. His face is a little more spaniel like. The little one is younger and livelier.
The pugs were attracting a lot of attention as ‘dogs waiting’ for their owners to breakfast in Albert Park. Pugs are very appealing and these two were spoken to by a number of passersby as they joined part of the Sunday Lunch scene along the busy shopping strip in Bridport Street Albert Park
This cheerful dog ( I believe he is a Border Collie X) was enjoying his wait. He was eagerly looking at people and wagging his tail – just enjoying the vibes of the street. It took me a moment to realize that he was missing his front leg. 
I photographed these dogs at one of my favourite dog-hang-outs.
There are always dogs here killing time and hoping for a pat and a bit of a chat.
The brown and white perky one is called Winnie and I’m told she is a Jack Russell X. I can believe that. She is full of energy and mischief . The Spaniel, Maddy, is shy and more retiring.
They are always together and if you see them try to push past the in-your-face Jack Russell X and give the gentle Spaniel a pat. They are both very loveable.
There were large dogs…. I loved this black and white Great Dane……..
………..and then there were small dogs. A Chihuahua rests a foot on a shoe.
I understand that these dogs are related to a Maltese but not the same Maltese. They are both very cute and live together and it is nice to think they both had a Maltese as an ancestor.
