Feeling HOT HOT HOT

Guess who got a hairecut today? Spring is springing all over here in Portland (at least for a few days), and that means it must be time for me to lose some fuzz. So mama dug through a bunch of boxes and found the rakes. Usually this was dad's job - to de-fuzz me - but mama does a really good job. She rubs my butt a lot during the process so I almost fall asleep as the fuzz magically separates from my skin.

Today's deforestation produced this:

Almost bigger than my head, but now I've lost a lot of my scruffy "ruff" and you can actually see my eyes now.

Today was going to be supermarket-shopping-excursion day, so we drove over to the east side. But it got hot fast, and mama didn't want to have to leave me in the car while she shopped. So the day wouldn't be wasted, I suggested another romp in Laurelhurst Park.

And no time in the park would be complete without some pine cone action. On the search, sometimes you find pine cones..

And sometimes you find stinky tennis balls...

But when the cones are good, they are very, very good.

Marauding dogs and humans had better keep their distance as I will fiercely guard my stash.

I'm sure you understand.

I can be fast and furious if another doggie tries to muscle in...

To the victor goes the spoils!

Dirty foamy tongue = HAPPY AIREDALE TERRIER

Wanna kiss mama?

Love,

Bogart
