The Competition Around Here Is Insane!

We older doggies actually did get to go to Portland, but by then, Mr. Watson (aka Dog Extraordinaire, according to literally everyone!) had gone to his puppy dog boot camp.

We had super fun in Portland!  Check it out!

The stash in the corner is a portion of the batting and fabric Janet purchased in Portland.  30% off and no tax takes a serious bite out of the difference between our dollars.  Noodles can sleep anywhere!

There is a Japanese restaurant quite nearby to their house and this was Janet's favourite sushi - Poke!  It was delicious.

So, we barely get over this Mr. Watson business and Mr. No. Longer. A. Baby arrives.  Sheesh.  What's a doggie to do?  Meg attended a conference all day Saturday, so we doggies (Janet and Phil helped a little) were in charge.  We took him shopping.

 It goes without saying that we took him to Fireperson's Park, which is cool as this is where many members of my fan club congregate.

 We had Crafty Time together and Janet not only requested, but fervently insisted Finley post his artwork on the dining room wall.

And of course, he needed a bath.

I can shampoo your hair, little buddy!

 The people purchased some sukiyaki meat from Uwajimaya in Portland and made......sukiyaki!

They said it was yummy.

 Mr. Watson is now home from boot camp.  Bronwyn had purchased a couple of bandanas for him and asked Janet if she could make some.  Janet made four - two for Mr. Watson and two for Bronwyn's friend Amy who also has a new puppy.

Since Janet made these four, Bronwyn has been to Fabric Depot twice in two days to purchase fabric to make more.  We have a theory that Bronwyn is actually from a Hutterite Colony as she likes to go big.  She now has enough fabric to make a bandana for every man, woman and child in the colony.

We were bribed with liver treats to model them.  Is it obvious?

Never mind Watson and Finley.  We still have a couple of cute tricks up our paws.
