Airezen for Robin!

My pal Robin (one of what dad used to call “the mobsties”) is sick… he has a tumor and may need surgery – he needs some serious Airezen or any-kind-of-Zen-you-can-do! Mama spilled the beans to me that I am going to get to visit my favorite Dales in LA this summer, and hey, I really…

Bogie’s Back in Town

Ah… it’s good to be back in the saddle.  It was really getting to be quite odd to not have mama taking my picture every day.  How to celebrate?  A wild party?  Dancing girlie-dogs? A crazy psycho cat – let me in there!  I love the kitties… We made our way up into NW Portland…

The Animal Rescue Site

While you’re waiting for your daily dose of Dale dog-gone goodness, I thought I’d tell you about something I make mama do each morning. Every day an email pops up in her mailbox (because she would forget her head if it wasn’t attached) reminding her to click and support The Animal Rescue Site. There is…

Pride

Gay Pride weekend!  Woo-hoo!  Good times, lots of music, crazy costumes, and a parade just outside of my house!!! Yes I know, that’s not nearly as exciting as it would be if there were some great photo there.  Today at Pride mama managed to break – completely – the memory card on her camera.  In…

Hellooo Ladies

Another day, another gigantic stick.  The better to clear a path through the downtown throng with. First pretend disinterest.  Look around.  Take in the local color.  This fools the mama-figure into thinking that I do not want the stick. Then when she isn’t looking – POUNCE.  And run at top speed in the opposite direction…

A Day Without Poop

Is like a day without sunshine.  But since we’re in rainy Portland… Today, no poop bags were sacrificed in the name of keeping the streets of Portland clean.  Walking was brisk, less time spent sniffing around for the “right spot”. There is of course a very good reason for this – yesterday, Bogart produced a…

Sunday Morning Bagel-age

The grey skies have returned to Portland – but that is still no reason not to wake up at 7 AM on Sunday so that we can walk to get a Kettleman’s toasted, buttered, pumpernickel bagel.  First a little water… I’m oddly parched. Then – as is my custom – I give mama a big…

Fleet Week

Weekends in Portland + nice weather = FESTIVALS!  The Rose Festival is here and that’s the biggie, but on our way there we detoured to check out the Dragon Moon Festival: Not much going on there.  Shame.  We thought that was going to be cool. Ah well, take me to the river mama! The Saturday…

Happy Birthday to You…

Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday dear KLAUS… Happy Birthday to you. The family is all here – just like we should be – and Klaus we MISS YOU. The little stuffed Airedale was from Klaus’ ICU nurse Margie, who took such good care of him, Bogart, and I. Bogart was entranced by the cake. …
