The Stick Hunter

Sunny spring SUNDAY and mama proposed a  walk over to the east side. But I wasn’t in the mood for a super-long walk (I know, how is this possible?) so I thought we’d stay on the west side and explore a bit. Back to hunting sticks!  I have found an absolutely fantastic one – bigger…

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……

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…

Stumbling Around Portland

Hey Brooke and Greg!  This is for you… Mama spilled some of her secrets that you might be swinging by this way sometime this summer and that you might be staying here… If it’s true – I’m looking forward to meeting you and showing you a bit of my Portland!!!! We were just stumbling around…

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…

My Red Raincoat

Portland + April = RAIN But no worries… I AM PREPARED The rain doesn’t even slow me down… when I am wearing my spiffy red raincoat!  The pine cone search must go on… Whether they are in the aire… Or on terra firma. Springtime also = pretty tulips.  Notice how the red of the flowers…

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…

Stormy Weather

Ok, I understand that the showers bring the flowers.  Yada yada yada.  But when it rains on the weekend – the two days that I get to spend my entire day with mama – well, it’s just disappointing all around.  No big walkies (but still 3 walkies, I have to insist) but lots of this:…
