A Love Letter to 2009

2009 – I hate you.  Throw-myself-on-the-floor-and-kick-and-scream-and-throw-a-tantrum-and-show-the-entire-world-my-butt-for-eternity-kind-of-hate.  It usually takes me a few weeks to remember to start writing the new year on checks, papers, etc. but I can promise you that I will have no such problems remembering that you are gone this time around.  Not that you promised much, but you took away so…

Surprise Snowfall

Well for once mama wasn’t the only one surprised at a snowstorm here in Portland… It seems like a lot of the other humans had no idea it was going to snow, and were similarly unprepared for the weather.  Lots of slipping and sliding around, and don’t get me started on the drivers… I kept…

Xmas in the City

Thanks so much to everyone who has stopped by our blog, left comments and emails wishing us a Merry Christmas.  I really think that one of my new years’ resolutions will have to be to learn how to type – so that when mama is tired or sad I can still update my blog. Last…

I Got You Babe

This morning mama and I suited up early for our first walkie of the day… and for 1.5 hours did not see one person.  A few cars, but no people.  Very surreal.  I suppose that means that most people are at home with the ones they love,  opening presents and celebrating Christmas. I’ve got mama…

I Dig It

Not Christmas… as a fine King of Terriers, I must periodically apply the skills of my forefathers… And dig in the dirt! This is not nearly as simple as it could be – not having my own yard, or a park area behind my house anymore, I have to work hard to find places to…

The Portland Art No-See-Um

Portland isn’t that big – yet there is an area of town that we never seem to find ourselves in.  That’s SW. So today we sought to rectify that situation and explore the South Park Blocks. I’m ready for anything – since we’re never here everything smells new and exciting. Ah, the Portland Art Museum. …

Looking Slick-er

This raincoat is really growing on me.  I think I look quite dashing in it.  And it does keep the fuzz dry. Except for the butt area.  Can we talk about this for a minute?  These two little elastic straps that go under my feet, around my haunches, and that accentuate my butt-age.  They are…

Spiffy New Raincoat

The weather continues to inspire mama to new heights of sartorial goodness… for me. Check out my spiffy new raincoat.  Yes I know, more clothes for dogs.  I’m not usually a fan.  But it’s awfully darned wet out there. Ok mama I’m done posing – LETS GO OUT IN THE RAIN FOR A NICE LOOOONG…

Goose Removal Officer

Geese.  A whole flock of them.  Just sitting there, waiting.  Taking in a slightly wet day, cooling their feet on the grass.  You know what happens next… Oh yeah, Bogart Handsome Devil’s Goose Removal Officer, at your service! I’m feelin’ GOOD after that quick run.  And satisfied after dispersing that entire flock of geese.  And…

Sweating it out

I am now the proud owner of my very own black human sweatshirt. After wearing mama’s for a few days, she broke down and bought me one of my own.  She cut off the sleeves a bit to accommodate my paws, and in the next day or so she told me that she will taper…
