Where You At?

You’ve noticed that I haven’t posted in a week or so. Do you: Wonder if I’ve been abducted by aliens? Think that perhaps I’m having way too much fun to stop and be photographed? Or Determine that the humidity has kicked my fuzzy butt? Actually, it’s far more banal than that… the battery has died…

Where the Wild Things Are… in Philadelphia

So mama and I have been cruising around the neighborhoods of Center City for as long as we can handle the humidity each day (mama conveniently forgot to warn me about humidity, she swears that she forgot what it was like, living on the west coast for many years).Â And on the trips that she…

Dogs With Blogs 2010 Tour

My greatest dream has now come true.Â I have met and have been expertly rubbed by Brooke and Greg, the founders of Dogs With Blogs!!! I wondered why we were walking across the Burnside Bridge this morning, and it turns out that they were staying at the Jupiter Hotel and we were off to welcome…

Spot the Airedale

I have found the single most wonderful place to crash on a hot day when mama has forgotten to put on my cooling vest because it didn’t seem to be “that hot” outside. A place where a boy can collect his thoughts, and his pine cones. Surrounded by lovely blue flowers that provide both shade…

A Week’s Worth

Of fun, frivolity, and baking hot sun that is. Continued testing with the cooling vest has been nothing short of a complete success – longer walkies have been accomplished and more precious cones have been gathered. See? We also swung through the early Bastille Day celebration here in the Pearl District – not much for…

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.Â 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.Â And people were getting on.Â So I decided that I would as well.Â However the crabby gal with the clipboard wouldn’t let me on.Â 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!Â It’s STILL summer!Â For more than a day!Â 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.Â …
