Looking Up, Looking Down

Well hello my little friend.  It’s funny the things that you see when you’re close to the ground.  Mama didn’t see him, but I did. I certainly wasn’t expecting to see Winnie the Pooh on my daily walkie…  got anything for me in that honey pot?  No thanks on any honey… While I was busy…

Tip Toe Through the Tulips…

With MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE… Tulips are EVERYWHERE here in Portland, out for all to see… Every color (except black ones – mama was really looking for some of those really dark-almost black ones and couldn’t find any – yes she’s kind of odd)… Big patches of them… Or just a few swaying in the breeze. Colors intermingling……

Red-dy for Anything

Well ok, probably not anything – probably not even most things – but at least to unveil mama’s new hair color: And who better to present her than MEEEEEE? She’s FUN.  Even when she drives me crazy, she’s still kind of FUN. And she accepts my kisses all day long. She knows when to share…

Go East, Young Dale

Mama just LOVES taking pictures of my shadow.  Especially while I’m walking across the Broadway Bridge.  I had to convince her to do a long walkie today – she took the day off of work, and what other reason could there be for not going to that work place?  LONG WALKIE PLEASE So even though…

Cirque d’Airedale

Sunny Saturday in downtown Portland.  Lets walk down by the river shall we? Everyone was at the Saturday Market (just behind us).  Not a lot of other people out walking.  I wonder why… Oh, this might be why. Yep, it’s a LITTLE windy… So lets head away from the open river mama… I hear that…

Bring On Da Funk

Friends… Romans… Countrymen… I come to you for advice. My trusty green nylon harness is FUNKY!  I suppose that the years of wear along with my recent trips into the Willamette River have caused it to retain a very special funk that mama just cannot remove.  Now I know what you’re thinking – BRING ON…

Bogart the Carpenter

Sunny Saturday – time for a walk in the park… literally! Forest Park is just truly lovely.  It’s still really wet and mossy, but the sun is shining and I’m ready to roll. As you already know, I am quite the connoisseur of sticks (and pine cones – but that’s another story).  And the downed…
