Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge

I know I haven’t been around much lately. I hope you are still my furiends. 🙂

It’s been a long couple of months:

• I watched Mom put lots of our stuff in boxes (not all, just a lot–I still had my kibble).
• Then those boxes went in a huge, huge box…and they took it all away.
• Then, I couldn’t be home for a few days (Pee Ess: Mom made sure we had some fun adventures).
• Then she told me we sold our house for LOTS of $$$.
• Then she told me we have no place to live.

WHAT????

It was time for an adventure.

Mom heard about a neat trail just a couple of miles away–one we’ve never explored–that meanders around the bottom of a cliff next to the Willamette River. It’s a wildlife refuge and really marshy, which meant I had to stay on my leash. That was OK…we were on an adventure!! Part way along the trail, we walked past a local mortuary that had painted the entire outside to reflect the wildlife living below. Pretty cool, huh?

On the backside of our adventure, we walked a part of the Springwater Corridor that goes past an amusement park that’s been there since 1905 (we see this park a lot when we walk along the river on the other side). It even has a really old wooden skating rink!Back on the trail, I found a lot of water. I was getting a bit thirsty, but Mom said this wasn’t water I could drink. And I know some of you don’t believe it, but I didn’t even get my belly wet! We were moving too fast–something about endorphins, I think.

 We have 6 more weeks left in Portland and hopefully we can cram in a few more adventures. Soon we’ll have a whole new place to explore! The Popstar is so excited that we are going to live near her–she’s picked out lots of houses for us, but they don’t have that silly sign out front and don’t want our $$$.

What’s up with that?
