Aire-t

Oh, the agony of choice. I’d like a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger please – hold the nasty ketchup. I will wait patiently – sort of – until the Jack in the Box worker notices my adorable face sticking out of the window.  Then I shall unleash the mighty bark so they understand exactly HOW HUNGRY I…

Feeling HOT HOT HOT

Guess who got a hairecut today?  Spring is springing all over here in Portland (at least for a few days), and that means it must be time for me to lose some fuzz.  So mama dug through a bunch of boxes and found the rakes.  Usually this was dad’s job – to de-fuzz me –…

Espl-aire-nade

Another hot day in the city… tongues were wagging everyone you looked.  How to cool off?  It looks like most of the folks in downtown are heading toward the river, so we decided to follow suit… Over the Burnside Bridge to the east side. Keep up, will ya? Down the steps to the east side…

Sun-Day

Easter Wisdom

Some Easter Wisdom from my pal, Mareike (she of the 3 Airedales in Los Angeles): I realized today that my religion is Airedalean.  I sing Hallelujah to the “King of (umm) Terriers, Lord of (well) everything”  Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!! I worship at the altar (not necessarily altered) of the fuzzy black and tan. My communion…

Bagel Boy

Slightly overcast and mama wasn’t feeling well – I think she’s getting a cold or something – but still I need my walkie, so how about a little something to cheer her up? Pumpernickel bagels – toasted with butter – seem to work. I’m here to help mama… Love, Bogart

Meeting Monty

Well looky here… another male Dale! This is Monty and he and I spied each other across 23rd and we just had to meet. He’s a very handsome guy with a lovely singing voice and we got along pretty well for a first meeting.  I felt a little protective of mama at one point, but…
