Another One Bites the Dust

Mama goes through a LOT of shoes.  She says that all the walking we do is tough on them, and in the last ten months she has destroyed 4 pairs of walking-only shoes.  Sounds about right to me.  Recently she started wearing her snow boots on days when it was raining or snowing.  As we…

Stick. Stick. Stick.

Ah, another cold rainy day here in Portland.  A little rain will never stop me – I must have my afternoon walkie! Mmm… messages.  First must check the pee-mail. And what have we here?  A delicious stick, perhaps? I’m pretending it’s not there – I don’t see a delicious, juicy stick – there is no…

Dog Day: Afternoon

Today was a day chock full of doggie goodness… this is Fred, a super cool Bassett Hound. Apparently he has a Mastiff brother at home, so he was totally into big dogs to play with.  Bring it on! And this is Woody.  Woody lives in my building, and boy does this little guy have energy!…

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…

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…
