Wyatt, how come you live in Oregon and I never see you in the rain or drying off. Hmmmpfh....not so much in these parts lately. We've had lots of rain and flooding.
Today I'll be demonstrating how to dry off after a walkie. Use, your couch, your pillow or your human. There are so many choices!
This is Violet from the NEW Oregon!

Green Peace
Did I tell you I'm in my terrible two's? Apparently I am ;)
AND I have a new trick.
I like to sit down when I'm done. And I don't move until I'm ready. Here's an example, I am sitting down because I do not want to leave the farmer's market. By accident, we missed the organic dog treat venue and I'm not leaving until we get some.
Another example.......we don't have recent pictures of this but.......Dad and I went to Pet Smart and I was playing with a nice 6 month old St. Bernard, and then daddy said let's go.
I sat down - he pulled - I ducked and in an instant I was out of my collar and free as a bird! Daddy starting running after me. I ran and ran as fast as I could, not noticing the cars in the parking lot, or the highway....I was a blur in the wind.....like this....
And this.....Daddy ran, and ran, three of the Pet Smart employees ran too! I spotted a pond/water reservoir with lots of geese. I stopped to say hello to these geese and Daddy grabbed me.
Now, my humans say Greenpeace when I sit down and won't get up. I don't know why, but they don't like this new trick ;)

Irene is gone!
It's finally time for a good DRY walk. This is the extent of the damages in our neighborhood.
We are very lucky! This is a little bridge in our hood that has some debris over the bridge and into the street. That means the water was at least 10-12 feet high at some point!
This is the creek in the winter....see the stones with the snow on top....that's how the creek normally is...
Video showing the current in our little neighborhood creek.

First Dogs
Mom and Dad's first stop in the Newseum was to check out the "First Dogs" Exhibit.
I'm sure you're aware of this very famous dog.
Warren Harding was a true dog lover. He owned a Bulldog named "Oh Boy," and an Airedale Terrier named "Laddie Boy." "Laddie Boy" not only had his own hand-carved cabinet chair to oversee high-level meetings...... This picture reminds me of Wyatt's pictures and when he stands on stuff. Happy Birthday Wyatt!
He also invited all the neighborhood dogs to the White House for his birthday party, where they dined on dog biscuit birthday cake. I have to work on this and get me some good dog biscuit birthday cake in May.
He had his picture placed in silver frames. My picture is all over the internet.
Mom and Dad have been to Washington for the past 3 years and STILL haven't seen this.
To honor Harding's background as a newspaperman, more than 19,000 newsboys around the country each donated a penny for a memorial to the fallen president. The pennies were melted down and cast into a life-size sculpture of Laddie Boy by Boston-based sculptor, Bashka Paeff. While Paeff worked on the sculpture, Laddie Boy was required to complete 15 sittings. Today, the sculpture is part of the collection at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History (the artifact is not currently on display).
Just like when the newspaper boys shared their coins to support Laddie boy.
Daddy is keeping the tradition alive by voting for Laddie boy, with all his change, for the favorite First Dog!
