Fearless Protector

Ah… Portland.  How I have missed peeing on your lovely streets… Running along your dirty water… And dodging your semi-insane bike riders. Mama and I had a CRAZY night tonight during the evening walkie… we were both attacked by a pit bull in downtown!  This doggie was on a leash belonging to one of the…

Beat the Heat

Today it was *only* in the 90s.  Basically, winter is here – compared to earlier this week.  It’s still too darn hot for my taste (and mama is not exactly a sun-goddess) so when I’m due a nice, long walkie and it’s scorchingly hot where to go? Well, first things first.  It’s Saturday morning.  That…

Way. Too. Hot.

Yes there are a myriad of excuses for not updating my blog.  And mama has told me most of them.  The overwhelming one, and the one that I have no choice but to agree with her on, is that we’ve been in the midst of an oppressive heatwave this past week.  No kidding, 105 –…

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

It’s another hot day here in Portland, so walking in the relative shade and coolness of the forest is fantastic.…

Dog Day: Afternoon

I thought the excitement for today was over.  But no… we decided to try to find the entrance to Forest Park again, taking advantage of the relative grey-ness of the day, and SUCCESS! Instead of crossing the bridge like we did last time, we took the stairs down, and boom – FOREST! I can already…

Say Good-Day Gracie

Now THIS is how to start a grey Sunday in Portland… This is Gracie – and I am VERY intrigued. She is just a gorgeous gal, and even though I felt my must-always-protect-mama instincts rising up occasionally, she was just too cute to resist.  I do like the older ladies, and boy does this girl…

That’s Disgusting

Humans can be so strange. Mama and I had to be over in the SE today, so we stopped at our usual haunt, Panera, for a quick bite.  We were sitting outside, and after I jumped into mama’s lap (as is my habit) she rewarded me with a piece of yummo mozzarella from her sandwich. …
