Going Aireborne

Hey, it’s Monday and mama is home – what’s up with that?  Oh… it appears that her schedule at work has changed, so now she will be off on Sundays and Mondays.  Works for me… where are we going? We always try to walk around different neighborhoods.  Today we took a swing through the Belmont…

I Had a Dream…

Early this morning.  I was trying to enter a Wal-mart-type store with a large black cat – and I was in a wheelchair.  This cat was Onyx, an all-black cat, one of the dearest animals I’ve ever had the pleasure of being owned by. (Onyx passed away a few years ago.  I keep Onyx’s ashes…

Cone-age

Mid-day walkie – seemed like it was going to be uneventful, until… What is that in your hand mama?  The one you’re holding onto behind your back? PINE CONES!!! Gimme!  Gimme!  Gimme! Check out my STYLE!!! But why oh why must I always have to WORK for my cones, mama? Not that I’m complaining, you…

Local Flora

Sometimes mama gets an idea.  It usually involves me posing with something that has caught her eye.  Today it was these red bushes. Do you want me over here?  No? Ah, I’m supposed to come around this way?  No? How about if I just walk through them?  Sort of interesting and ok? Well then, how…

Farm-aire-s Market

Today we had a mission.  Mama had to go to the Hollywood Farmers Market to take some photos of a cooking demonstration, and as you can imagine there is no way she could do this alone… First we must fortify ourselves (after a considerable walk) with a chocolate croissant.  I get croissant, mama gets the…

What a Week it Was

Mama has had a tough week.  She has definitely felt that the universe was kicking her repeatedly in the butt.   I of course try my best to make her happy and smile – most days it works like a charm – but this week was a challenge, even for this Dale. Walking around somewhat aimlessly…

Aire-o-dynamic

Ah, the best way to start off a not-so-sunny Saturday… Pumpernickel style! Now what mama?  Can we walk down some different streets? During our daily walkies, I make sure that mama and I don’t get bored.  Even though we tend to stay in the same areas, there is no need to walk down the exact…

Sign ‘o the Times

OK, this is too perfect for me at the moment: Because that’s exactly what mama has cooked for me this week – chicken and a pork chop.  So I have to assume that this sign was made specifically for me and for no other reason. I also saw this sign today for a lost wolverine…

A Forest

Saturday morning.  Portland.  Fall.  Yet it’s still really warm.  And sunny.  What to do? Pick up a trusty stick – not just any stick will do – it’s gotta be IMPRESSIVE And rather than let your mama decide which way to go, just start running in the direction you want to go.  If your mighty…

Reuse, Recycle, Re-Art

Time to expand my horizons a bit… on a lovely day in September.  Lots of rain and grey-ness this morning, but now it’s sunny so it’s time to WALK.  Lets hit the east side of the Willamette, shall we? Apparently there has been some public art-ification of the east side esplanade.  Perhaps it’s just happened,…
