To Aire is Divine

CAT ALERT * CAT ALERT * CAT ALERT

As always, whenever a post will be featuring my feline friends, I give a big ol’ warning to all of my pup peeps.

Ready?  Lets GO…

We went to the Hawthorne Fish House because mama had been craving their yummo french fries and a Gardenburger.  She looked like she was enjoying it, and then apparently we had to “walk it off”… no clue what that means, but hey, whenever walking is involved, I’m in (but if we need to take the bus, I know how to make ‘em stop for me… WATCH THIS)…

We got a little treat for the kitties… the black girlie is Sekhmet and it looks like she approves…

Yup, Kafka also seems to think that the Meowie Wowie will be up to snuff…

That’s when Behemoth sauntered over to check out what was going on…

Sekhmet was concerned that Kafka may try to take the whole bag, run with it, hide under something, and then tear it to pieces just before he rolls his entire tubby tabby body all over it, thoroughly coating himself in catnip.  She is of course, correct…

Oh yeah, Kafka is plotting…

Sekhmet makes her play for some organic nip…

They have a short conversation (which I could not understand, being that I speak dog and uh, English, so cat is beyond my powers of understanding)…

And it seems like all will be well.  Just as long as separate bits of catnip are placed strategically around the house far away from each other.  DEAL!

Love,

Bogart

Working on a stick hunt… gonna go down down… working on a stick hunt… whoops! gotta look around…

Hehe…  I AM DANGER DOG

Check out this advanced technique… not for beginners, but advanced stick students take note!

This also may be more breed specific - you’ve gotta have a long schnoz in order to delicately carry two sticks perfectly crossed in the center - and the Airedale scissor bite also comes into play…

I had to carry them home like this the entire way, I was so proud of my stick prowess…

Love,

The Art Institute of Portland is celebrating their 10 year anniversary and they’re having a Block Party in the Pearl… did someone say party?

Dad and I made ourselves comfy on some furniture they had out on the street…but dad really, there is no excuse for this:

See how lovely I look in this middle of the West Elm tableau?  Perhaps they should hire me as a model for their catalogs…

And a “noble” pose…

But hey this is supposed to be a party, right?  So where is the food???

Mmm.  BURGER.  I haven’t had one of these for SO LONG…

Faithful readers will remember that I have a very specific system for burger eating.  Say it with me:

PATTY FIRST…

(now if you’ll be eating a burger from a drive-thru, don’t forget the all-important first step of - napkin falls from sky - so that your patty stays where it’s supposed to!)

Make sure you dont’ drop any important pieces…

The the top bun…

And finally the bottom bun with all of it’s meaty, juicy goodness.

You can have your stinkin’ vegetables mama.  Uh, I mean, look I saved them for your dear mama!

YUMMO.

I like this art stuff.  It’s tasty…

I’m about ready to give up my West Elm station, lets look around and see who else is here…

Look who mama found?  Guess what kind of dog this is (yes, she had to ask!)..

It’s a giant Schnauzer without a Schnauzer haircut!!!  His name is Bowser, isn’t he HANDSOME?

I can be a little iffy when I meet other male dogs.  That pesky testosterone.  But I really hit it off with Bowser.

I can kind of see the Schnauzer in him when I see his whole face - those cool eyebrows - and I appreciate a boy with a rugged individualist haircut like my own.

This lovely lady is an Airedale person!!!  She’s a photographer, I think she was trying to set up a shot of me looking all cool in her artsy glasses…

They had sidewalk chalk drawing going on… this is an outline of the Schnauzer from earlier!!!  He really laid down and let them trace him - I don’t think I would have allowed that.  But that’s just me.

Then on our way back to the Bogie-mobile we walked through Art in the Pearl, an outdoor artist fair.

Some very cool stuff - paintings, jewelry, ceramics, I saw so many different things.

And then I saw this…

And it made me want to do this…

Mama cut off a little of the horse’s head, but this was a very cool wooden sculpture.  I definitely feel much more artistic after my adventures today…
