Visiting for first time. Had ressos here but hotel street blocked.

So cool, so beautiful. Don’t think she caught anything other than grass…

I had the pleasure of walking Niko today.

He's a two year old, 50 pound, Alaskan Husky/Malamute mix.

He walks well on a leash and is friendly with other dogs and humans. Someone else's dog snapped and lunged from across the footpath and he stayed composed and calm the entire time.

And he's gorgeous.

You can check him and the other dogs up for adoption here:

I can only speak to one of the kitties, but I just wanted you to know he’s so, so loved, such a delight, and rarely has diarrhea anymore. The shelter suspected they came from a hoarding situation. If that’s true, I can tell you loved this little guy, and I hope you’re okay and are getting the help you need. I just wanted you to know that all the kitties got adopted, and the one I have is such a gift. So thank you.

Bootsy has been lost since yesterday. She is a skinny, black lab mix, with gray fur on her snout. If found, please take her to the nearest shelter or vet. She is microchipped! She is a nervous dog and may be skittish or nip. She has her shots.

ETA: She has a flea collar on

We are lucky enough to have a view of Mt. Hood outside our place. Twice a year, I try to catch it when the sun comes up directly behind the peak. Here was this morning’s photos from that event. I use an old Nikon P900 with a sun filter from a telescope to capture these.

My dad came to visit me this week and snapped this fun shot yesterday while walking near Tilikum crossing. I’ve always enjoyed the pics he takes when he visits. His perspective on the city as a tourist is endearing.

This is Frankie. My mom just went into the hospital and cannot take care of him. I can't take care of him either. He's not aggressive, but he also has no manners. He's about 9 months old and approximately 70 pounds. He shouldn't go to anyone with kids or cats because I am not sure how he would react around them. He has a tendency to chase squirrels. Rehoming fee: $100

They were outside of Goodwill, seemingly on Goodwill property with signature sheets and signs that say "Stop Child Abuse". Given this state's history with ballot measures leaning right I'm assuming it's some anti-trans nonsense but I didn't go over to ask because I thought I might make a scene if I was right. What exactly are they gathering signatures for?
