Reuse, Recycle, Re-Art

Time to expand my horizons a bit… on a lovely day in September.  Lots of rain and grey-ness this morning, but now it’s sunny so it’s time to WALK.  Lets hit the east side of the Willamette, shall we? Apparently there has been some public art-ification of the east side esplanade.  Perhaps it’s just happened,…

Good Sportsmanship

Heyyyy… pine cones!  And not in an area I was expecting.  Score! So mama, instead of walking right now, how about we relax here for a little while – I’ll chomp on my pine cones and you can dodge the local homeless.  No? Ok, I can see where this is going.  You’re going to try…

Poop Problemo

It’s been a tough day. My poop just hasn’t been “right” today.  Well, since last night.  Around 11 PM.  And then 2:20 AM.  And then 4:30 AM.  And then 6:45 AM. Mama and I have spent our day either sleeping or walking around pooping (well, I’ve done more of the pooping, she’s done more of…

Saturday… In the Park…

I think it was some day in September… (not July as the song in your head may now be singing). Saturday mornings require bagels as fuel.  The Bogcedes requires gasoline, I require pumpernickel.  And since there are chores in my near future, make sure I get a whole one, ok? I stop at all of…

I Saw the Sign

Portland is just full of interesting signs these days.  They make mama laugh, sometimes at inappropriate moments, and she usually tries to pretend that she’s laughing at something hilarious that I’ve done so that people don’t think that she’s crazy.  Well, not too much. We are all familiar with the “man holding stinky poopy bag…

Rainy Days and Mondays

Monday.  Some rain, some sun.  Some time in the Bogcedes. Ah… sun. But look… clouds. Yes mama, I will help you with the errands.  I will be your co-pilot, your navigator. Keep driving… yes, just a little farther… no wait, you’re supposed to head toward the pet store!!! Damn.  Guarding the car.  AGAIN.  Not at…

Laboring on Labor Day

Yes, today I was laboring.  I honor of Labor Day.  I was laboring for a fine, pumpernickel bagel. There is apparently some new sort of tax that has been imposed on me – wherein I have to give mama a kiss before I get any of the extra-good food from her plate.  But mama, YOU…

Artsy Fartsy

Well looky here.  In a window of an art gallery, there is a lady artist making music.  We heard it from our place, and had to check it out. All of the people on the street seemed to think it was really cool, but it bothered my ears.  So I would, of course, bark. Mama…

Aire-t in the Pearl

Art in the Pearl.  I’ve already peed on a tent.  Today it was time to actually walk through and see what they were doing… In the RAIN.  Yes, it hasn’t rained here for awhile now but – in a special nod to the Labor Day weekend – it’s pouring.  Which doesn’t dampen my spirits (I…
