Artful Dodger

First Thursday rolls around again and mama and I are here to take in the culture… Wow, there are LOTS of people out this time.  And not so many dogs.  So I spend most of my time dodging legs. Come on people, I know how to walk in a crowd… do you? Follow my fuzzy…

Sunday Potpourri

Cone.  Cone.  Cone. HOW YOU TAUNT ME, FOUL WOMAN! Mine.  Mine.  Mine. Wait – you have another one?  CAN I HAVE THAT ONE? You will not take THIS one away from me.  I have found a perfect place for it… Hehehe.  Hidden.  Peed on.  Having a big, juicy pine cone to play with one day……

Behold the CEO

A boring Saturday.  Mama had to do those CHORE things that she sometimes has to do.  While I get to tag along, I mostly have to sit in the car.  NOT my favorite thing to do. She says that I sit either in the drivers seat (obviously) or in the back seat, which is the…

My Dirty Little Secret

I have a secret. While on my evening walkie, I like to swing by a local doggie store because they have KITTENS in the window. I make sure that we go down this street every night since the kittens arrived.  Now you’d think I get enough cat action – having 5 of my own at…

Rubbish

Fearless Protector

Ah… Portland.  How I have missed peeing on your lovely streets… Running along your dirty water… And dodging your semi-insane bike riders. Mama and I had a CRAZY night tonight during the evening walkie… we were both attacked by a pit bull in downtown!  This doggie was on a leash belonging to one of the…

La Vie en Rose

Laurelhurst Park on a sunny Sunday. I saw this lovely rose and had to point it out to mama.  She’s awfully darned good to me, we are an amazing team, and I really love her.  So mama, this rose is for you! Time for some exploring.  Those pine cones aren’t going to find their own…

Beat the Heat

Today it was *only* in the 90s.  Basically, winter is here – compared to earlier this week.  It’s still too darn hot for my taste (and mama is not exactly a sun-goddess) so when I’m due a nice, long walkie and it’s scorchingly hot where to go? Well, first things first.  It’s Saturday morning.  That…
