Cool Cool Cool… Places

We’ve havin’ a heatwave… an atypical tropical heatwave… And mama has been worried about my ability to keep cool in the face of extreme temperatures (well, extreme for Portland that is).  So a few days ago, she spent almost an hour in the REI store picking out a new cooling vest for me.  First she…

Pearl-s of Wisdom

Mama broke her toe the other day… the little pinkie one, the one that should really be the least important one yet when it’s large and purple it’s really the most important one.  I too have stubbed my fuzzy toes before and remember that yes it does hurt but that’s no reason why we shouldn’t…

Bus-ting a Move

Well, here is something you don’t see everyday in Portland: A big, red double-decker bus.  And people were getting on.  So I decided that I would as well.  However the crabby gal with the clipboard wouldn’t let me on.  I turned on the charm, and mama did her best (which usually gets us into places)…

Spreading the Love

I love you mama… I mean, not all the time, there are occasionally some things you do that make me a little crazy or a little annoyed, there have been times when I wanted to go one way and you wanted to go another, and those times when I wanted to sniff a cute doggie’s…

Beating the Heat

It seems to strange to complain about the heat (when I’ve most recently complained that it has been raining non-stop for months) but this sudden jump to the 80 degree mark is putting a cramp in my walkie-style. Mama and I both are feeling it – even though I got a major hair strip in…

Lake Tai Rock

Woo-hoo!  It’s STILL summer!  For more than a day!  It’s CRAZY… Time to head down to the waterfront with all of the other hot and steamy folks here in Portland who aren’t yet used to the heat. I thought I might like to jump in until I remembered that the Willamette is deep and dirty. …

SUMMER IS HERE – FINALLY! I’ve almost forgotten what a day without rain is like.  Almost.  Not quite, tho.  I am SO HAPPY that it’s not cold and rainy today! Mama and I are reconsidering my h-aire-do at the moment.  Now that it looks like the worst of our cold and rainy days may be…

What a Week it Was

Time flies when I’m not blogging… I’ve spent the past week still doing normal, everyday dog things, like watching this little bird’s excellent worm-catching technique (lots of worms out here in rainy Portland)… Checking out new and exciting flowers in full bloom from all of our recent rain… Mind the bumblebees! And avoiding enraged crows…

I am not a Poodle

But I DO love them… Especially the girlie poodles.  I am also not a doodle-anything or anything-doodle.  Despite the fact that many humans have never seen anything as cute as me and most assume that I am a “something”-doodle. With another day of sunshine promised by the weatherman, we thought we’d get in a full…
