I (Don’t) Love a Parade

The Portland Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade started in my neighborhood this morning. While I was at first intrigued, I was ultimately displeased.  All of those drummers were hurtin’ my ears. Even though we tried to go around it, we just couldn’t get away fast enough. Crazy costumes, loud noises, and lots of people.  Oh goody goody…

Ladybug Ladybug

A package arrived… and I wasn’t expecting a package.  It’s from Maggie and Mitch! Aw, this was definitely for mama – it made her cry and she wouldn’t let me eat it so it must be – chock full of ladybugs! And inside… one beautiful ladybug that reminds her of Klaus.  She loves it, loves…

In the Key of… Damnit!

Gooberstan in Portland

Well, almost!  Stella and Stanley‘s mama Lisa is here in Portland for a visit!  AND SHE BROUGHT GIFTS… She and mama hit it off like a house on fire.  I’ve been excited since the moment I laid eyes (and paws) on her. But back to more important things, MY NEW TOYS.  In addition to the…
