CHUBS: A LIFE WELL-LIVED

Here is a final tribute to the best dog in the world.

Then we’ll get back to it being all about me. :)

GOODBYE, BROTHER CHUBS

We said goodbye to Chubs on Monday, August 27th. He was a gentle and patient brother.

He was a world class sunbather and I’m happy he got to enjoy the hot summer weather.

One of Chubs’ favorite things was taking a rest in the periwinkle in front of our house. He would lie down there, smelling the air, while I played with my ball.

Here are some pictures of Chubs and I through the years. He was the very best. We love you, Chubs.

MUSIC IN THE PARK

For the last two summers, the Music In The Park concert series that happens behind our house has been a source of anxiety, as I was not a music fan.

But when this year’s concert series started last week, I actually kind of liked it. And much to Mommy and Daddy’s surprise, I asked to go this week. So I watched the cars drive onto the field and got prepped for my first music concert.

And the first thing I saw…a bouncy castle!

And then I got a balloon. A highlight of the night!

Then we sat down for some pizza and the tunes of the Bobby Torres Ensemble.

Even Chubs had a good time!

After we got home, I could still hear the bongos as I played with my balloon on the deck.

READY FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE

Tomorrow we’re going to New Hampshire! I like to check out the map to see which states we’re flying over. See you soon, Grandma and Grandpa.

EASTSIDERS

Nana and Papa made a visit our way and we took them across the Willamette River to the east side of Portland. Our first stop was a restaurant called the Tin Shed, where we had to wait a long time, even though it was a Thursday.

Then we went to the playground at Laurelhurst Park.

Before heading home, we stopped to see the ducks at the Laurelhurst Duck Pond.

By the end of the day, Chubs was ready for a nap!

JUNE BIRTHDAY OUTING

Mommy and Daddy’s birthdays are both in June, so we all went out for a little birthday adventure.

First, we headed to BG’s Food Cartel for some lunch.

Then we went to the Portland neighborhood, St. John’s. I’ve been wanting to cross the St. John’s Bridge for a long time!

Then it was off to Cathedral Park for some bridge gazing and drawing.

Chubs had a nice time, too. His favorite thing to do is sleep in the grass when it’s warm out.

FATHER’S DAY 2018

For Father’s Day, we headed to the Willamette River! Dad and I enjoyed wading in the water and looking at the boats, paddle boards, and fun inflatables (unicorns are very popular this year!).
