My Dirty Little Secret

I have a secret. While on my evening walkie, I like to swing by a local doggie store because they have KITTENS in the window. I make sure that we go down this street every night since the kittens arrived.  Now you’d think I get enough cat action – having 5 of my own at…

Rubbish

Today was a sad day to be a cell phone.  Mama’s cell phone, that is.  She was trying valiantly to clean our apartment and in a flurry of activity, she took out a big bag of garbage to our rubbish chute.  Just a short walk from our apartment.  A quick trip.  Not going to be…

Beat the Heat

Well, first things first.  It’s Saturday morning.  That…

Laurelhurst Fauna

Lovely Laurelhurst park.  On a lovely – kind of hot but not as hot as it’s been – Sunday.  People out having picnics, baby showers, and throwing frisbees.  After a nice walkie around the perimeter, mama and I decided to eat our sandwich next to the algae pond. Ruh-roh… here comes a mighty duck army…

Hiking Forest Park

Mama promised me last weekend when we finally found the entrance to Forest Park that we would come back the following weekend and do a REAL hike.  Surprisingly, I did not have to remind her. It’s another hot day here in Portland, so walking in the relative shade and coolness of the forest is fantastic.…
