surprise visitor...

so last friday we had a surprise visitor. when vince got home, we went out in the backyard and there was this tiny little crazy thing chirping away and chasing me... it was a baby chicken!!!! what the heck?! oregon is crazy. the little guy followed me everywhere and kept trying to cuddle with me and he sat right in vince's lap when we sat down! vince was laughing but i was really a little wierded out. i mean, i've never been around a chicken. last i heard, people eat those, right? vince ran out to buy bird feed. and after our little visitor hung out and got spoiled rotten, vince and dylan realized that he came from the neighbors chicken coop and brought him back home. here's a few pics from the excitement.


the chicken.

our big trip...



alas, once again i am long overdue for a post on my blog. it's not like i have been up to anything lately. that is doggy sarcasm. a lot has happened since my last birthday post and i have lots to tell and even more pictures to share.

for those of you that don't know, vince and i have moved to portland, or. we have been here for 1 week and it has been sunny the whole time! i really don't know what all the other dogs are talking about when they say it rains all the time. i wish i could tell you lots of cool stories about all the places we visited on the way from asheville, nc to portland but... i swear we didn't stop anywhere. we drove (i say we but you know who really drove the whole way... sucker) 45hrs in 3 days. i don't think i have ever been so bored in my whole life. i did get to tick off a few states on my state tracker though. i'm up to 35 states now! marking my territory everywhere. next up is world domination! if only i were a dominant kind of dog. in reality i'm a bit of a lover... not a fighter :). so below i have posted some pictures. some are from the week before we left - spending good quality time with my best friends, some are from our drive across and then some are from the past week here in portland. so far we have gotten out for a couple of mountain bike rides. it's kind of pretty here.

enjoy the show!


frisbee time with some of my north kakalaki crew

one of my favorite things to do is sit on the porch and watch the horses and donkeys graze...

swimming at our swimming hole

the morning we left we were blessed with an amazing carolina sunrise... the picture comes nowhere close to doing it justice

a quick gas and frisbee stop. this is what we travelled in

superman! metropolis, il


we crossed over an extremely swolen missouri river

this is me saying "ok vince, i know you just drove 15 hours straight but... i'm ready to play frisbee in the hotel!"

back on the road...

i did this a lot

the gateway to the west

was that the gateway to the west or the gateway to very long boring flaaaaaaaaaaaaaat land?

dinner break somewhere... i really do not remember where :-)

back to sleep

once again... "vince, i know you just drove 18 hrs straight but lets play!"

farmland usa. i think we were in nebraska somewhere.

we saw some pretty sunsets

my 32nd state, wyoming

when you think of colorado you think mountains right? where the heck are they?

we took a very quick detour to cross the colorado border and then head back to nebraska

i'm so bored... can we play frisbee in the car? does that work? it kind of did

this is one minute out of the 5 minutes i was awake during the 45 hour trek


and we hit oregon


mountain bike time! sandy ridge, or

lush green forests

vince, why aren't you riding across this bridge?

there are lots of rivers here

do i have something on my face? is that food or mud? maybe i should taste and see

we rode to these falls... university falls

taking a rest amongst some big trees.

i hope you enjoyed. i'm missing my friends, especially maddie. i hope we can hang out again really soon! :-)

peace

happy birthday to me!

that's right, yesterday i turned 2! vince was gone for a week and i couldn't go because he had to fly but he made it home in time for my birthday. we had a little gathering of my friends, played some fetch and ate cupcakes and brownies. pretty darn sweet. here's a few pics from the evening.



i am only slightly excited about what is in that box...

my fecal is negative! ok... so i don't really know what that means but everyone seemed to think that was a good thing during my first big check up at the brett the vet’s office yesterday. i had to get shots which was kind of a bummer but in return I got cookies so I guess i’m cool with it. but that’s enough about the vet. well one more thing... i weighed in at a whopping 48.7 pounds.

what i really want to post about is easter. easter is pretty cool. especially if it means that you get to go camping. i still don't get the relation between easter bunnies and eggs though. why not chickens? ohh well. so this past weekend we went camping in pisgah national forest. wendy, vince, maddie, cody and i. all in the camper! we did some hiking, running, biking, climbing and relaxing. here are some pictures from the weekend. cody, maddie and i ran around in the woods all weekend.

enjoy!
