The Straight Poop

Today in the North Park Blocks, there were some new signs: Now I am a man who takes his poop seriously.  While I am happy to leave it behind (hey, I’m done with it), mama always carries enough poopie bags and we adhere to the NO POOP LEFT BEHIND doctrine. However… I hate to rain…

Sunday in the Park with Mama

When walking through NW Portland, you can see many interesting things.  Today I noticed this: It’s actually pretty darned cool – made of weird metal pieces – and wasn’t scared of me at all.  Unlike most birds. It was another sunny day here in Portland – cold but sunny – and since yesterday we hit…

Squirrel Patrol

Dun-da-dun, Dun-da-dun-da-dun-dun… what is that behind me?  It’s THE SHADOW and it is following me everywhere today. I suppose it could be because of all of the sunshine we’re having today, but there could of course be far more nefarious reasons for things to be following me. Like… SQUIRRELS Oh how you twitch your tiny…

Mmm… Fiber

Dog cannot live on meat and vegetables alone.  Occasionally a visit to the outdoor salad bar is in order.  Sometimes a little extra fiber is required in the diet. I like my fiber the natural way – via eating sticks.  The little ones are the crunchiest. To get them into bite-sized pieces, simply place a…

Talk to the Paw

You know how sometimes the humans just cannot stop talking?  Way too much yapping and not enough belly scratching?  I have come up with a solution. Paw to the head.  Works like a charm. Got mama to stop talking almost immediately.  Of course it doesn’t hurt that my mighty paw is almost the size of…

The Portland Globetrotter

Lunchtime!  Sun!  Fun!  And BASKETBALL!!! This is Woody’s dad.  He and Woody come out to play a little basketball when the weather is nice – and today it was cold but beautiful.  I offered to show him a few of my moves… Which mostly involve methods of stealing the ball from whoever currently has it.…

Terriers Dig Holes

As much as I want to take credit for this bad boy, it was pre-dug and probably not by a dog. That little fact didn’t slow me down though – I have to hop in and investigate And of course add a little personal touch of my own – some extra digging.  Having a big…

S-S-S Saturday Night…

And the chicken soup is flying! I’m sure I’ve shown you this, but all you doggies you should really get your humans to start cooking for you if they don’t already.  My mama cannot cook ANYTHING (dad was the good cook in our family) but somehow, she makes a mean chicken soup for me.  EVERY…

Enter the Dragon-Klaus

A wonderful tribute to an amazing man – who LOVED HIS BEER.  Tonight at the Green Dragon, a special keg of Vienna lager was brewed and consumed and Klaus’ name.  Bogart couldn’t be there, so I brought Bogart’s mini-me: This is a glass of Dragon Klaus, the beer of the evening.  The picture is dark,…

Touring NE Portland

Chores to be done… nose to the grindstone (or to the sidewalk, as it were).  Time to walk our butts off and head over to the east side.  It’s always such a choice because there are so many bridges here in Portland.  Today we’ll be heading to NE Portland, so off onto the Broadway Bridge…
