Her tiniest son Tate was with the lovely nanny and Melissa had a few free minutes for a new adventure. The bike she's been riding with commitment on a trainer in her living room came out to see pavement for the first time since 2011 when Corbin, her husband, would ride it around the hills of Mosier. The last rides this bike had seen outside were between Celilo Cancer Center and Melissa's house during Corbin's radiation treatment. And now Corbin lives in our memories and our hearts but can't ride with us. It was moving to see his bike back out on the pavement. What was even more special was the smile on Melissa's face and the joy she exuded with every post office box we passed and every pedal stroke she took. The gal is a natural and she pedaled hard into the climbs. Maybe it's because Corbin taught that bike how to hammer but I think it's also because Melissa felt the awesome feeling that you can't get from anything other than propelling yourself along on a bike. And I think she's hooked. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAcWdllL_G_uXMko81YXL9cxd0eTTTbYqLGJeT9_A5GliWLzPWdTLj7fZgmleZcfUuE3DHbrlotDbnU-OfaYZhyphenhypheniyAEpBIr1-gZXXI5Pk8KjLKxYK_zzQegvpD_PXiMWD7DNG0BLggASf/s640/blogger-image--750889733.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAcWdllL_G_uXMko81YXL9cxd0eTTTbYqLGJeT9_A5GliWLzPWdTLj7fZgmleZcfUuE3DHbrlotDbnU-OfaYZhyphenhypheniyAEpBIr1-gZXXI5Pk8KjLKxYK_zzQegvpD_PXiMWD7DNG0BLggASf/s640/blogger-image--750889733.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNE3bkqOLEoqjdp8AdSIBHSQPJlIoPOP_YyoiXSAMwjlajDam7tHZo_LeSlcC2LU4eUQu-mtnVooDAwZcjgzzwT7mhBXfkIDQi64raZ3fohmTAZf_nDJh9StwhQ96qODbZf3phFkGLPai1/s640/blogger-image--1478581026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNE3bkqOLEoqjdp8AdSIBHSQPJlIoPOP_YyoiXSAMwjlajDam7tHZo_LeSlcC2LU4eUQu-mtnVooDAwZcjgzzwT7mhBXfkIDQi64raZ3fohmTAZf_nDJh9StwhQ96qODbZf3phFkGLPai1/s640/blogger-image--1478581026.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlTjEafncY9UzBC1wovPJi04It5huKEeJ015zl02sxdgz_2m6tybVduQ4sZ3nBWnWA-xuC-YJ1IsDy42rYpZtrGZbPHcaJbrXle7iSzAOuk-UVtRnNmgQlglb2v-Zu7ZvZ_qpNc1NPC0y/s640/blogger-image--1729765709.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlTjEafncY9UzBC1wovPJi04It5huKEeJ015zl02sxdgz_2m6tybVduQ4sZ3nBWnWA-xuC-YJ1IsDy42rYpZtrGZbPHcaJbrXle7iSzAOuk-UVtRnNmgQlglb2v-Zu7ZvZ_qpNc1NPC0y/s640/blogger-image--1729765709.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-53134623453136225742013-05-01T12:17:00.001-07:002013-05-01T12:17:25.984-07:00BeachesI was a sandy salty dog last weekend. It was amazing. The mixture of swimming, running, and high concentration of dead things makes the beach one of my favorite spots. My peeps ditched me at the house a couple times so they could go surfing (the tall one seems pretty good but the short one spends a lot of time under water) which I don't really appreciate. They both know I'm perfectly capable of swimming out past waves up to 10' and surfing back in. I guess it might be my method of rescue that they don't like? I'm a dog! All I've got for grabbing potentially drowning people are my teeth. You'd think they could see past their dislike of dog bites and realize I'm saving their lives but no, they just leave me at home now. Oh well, I'm getting a little old to be saving them all the time anyway. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiozVi8OAAK12LCZ9wrXeyL-E8s93WRg3mCzoRev32EQUQrZxJbPuVwQKn1YEuc6070WT8xo7PLzdqDiZXxecNNT8qKOOMbPoROcvdUib8Ho3DQ0Vyi86tDYKlWle3G9soq_Qi36ZT-4NQ/s640/blogger-image-1516901438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiozVi8OAAK12LCZ9wrXeyL-E8s93WRg3mCzoRev32EQUQrZxJbPuVwQKn1YEuc6070WT8xo7PLzdqDiZXxecNNT8qKOOMbPoROcvdUib8Ho3DQ0Vyi86tDYKlWle3G9soq_Qi36ZT-4NQ/s640/blogger-image-1516901438.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3f-OjJaGZloVEu1UZFtdqYTgsCxb41HjFxh5e2Wz3FNCFpGdmYVmlJgoIETdDt5Tie-yWAmTDNUIPygPsQPDWwW0FyHNAtmzN-plXjlVdeamRCbBW1sZ9YdwVJNLu2G4lTnqvyW1SHS_/s640/blogger-image-1555005707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3f-OjJaGZloVEu1UZFtdqYTgsCxb41HjFxh5e2Wz3FNCFpGdmYVmlJgoIETdDt5Tie-yWAmTDNUIPygPsQPDWwW0FyHNAtmzN-plXjlVdeamRCbBW1sZ9YdwVJNLu2G4lTnqvyW1SHS_/s640/blogger-image-1555005707.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCYXVnj6dL4ZQjSzKBdg1v7OnRlVvSrBLDe4xyOLkCq7c4_efx4y4GNCUvAtH6cjZyfKrto_IaE0_pkRJMYcWgab9YCySTje0LiS-y_gLr7pC6HkfNio0UJGtSqLxISt5nBunYwitB68J/s640/blogger-image-1850426064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCYXVnj6dL4ZQjSzKBdg1v7OnRlVvSrBLDe4xyOLkCq7c4_efx4y4GNCUvAtH6cjZyfKrto_IaE0_pkRJMYcWgab9YCySTje0LiS-y_gLr7pC6HkfNio0UJGtSqLxISt5nBunYwitB68J/s640/blogger-image-1850426064.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9OAMu6agNWakelEkj1EfRKa9QmV8kZ92YfgLFknaP5ANcp1_c5mzHkyC8qLJQM6WGw0PwhBiSy2O02I4T2bV62mDd3eR4o9IWKh0IE_DKVIlJPpAbqiFg99mHDp0-TcK8rYm3XEgj8iof/s640/blogger-image-643919553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9OAMu6agNWakelEkj1EfRKa9QmV8kZ92YfgLFknaP5ANcp1_c5mzHkyC8qLJQM6WGw0PwhBiSy2O02I4T2bV62mDd3eR4o9IWKh0IE_DKVIlJPpAbqiFg99mHDp0-TcK8rYm3XEgj8iof/s640/blogger-image-643919553.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-26491626385570674622013-04-23T23:39:00.001-07:002013-04-23T23:43:57.218-07:00You called it GrandogmaYou're right, I've been a bit of a tease with the blogging but assure you it was not intentional. I generally blog when bored and the past few days have lacked boredom. To start with, the short one drug me down to Cali for a super whirl wind trip which included one slightly too long ride (for an old dog lady). We also got to have some quality time with my grandogrents. Then we rallied home to pick up the tall one whom we hadn't seen in a few weeks at the airport (brief layover in Oakridge). We surprised him which was rad. Reunited, the peeps decided to attack the back yard (3 acres of forest that was largely destroyed last winter) meaning they spent much of the day chain sawing, hauling wood/branches, tending a burn pile etc. (such a romantic way to reconnect right?). During their property maintenance I chewed on sticks and slept in the sun. Following their brief laps into home-owner responsibility they got their priorities straight and drug me out on big mountain bike rides. Today, I made the mistake of finding something super foul to roll in and now, after some equally foul language and the short one lifting me in and out of the claw foot tub, I smell like a beautiful flower took a huge dump on my head. There you have it. Here are some photos of the last week or so. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MNtDVWmcFzT9crTXx2Th3IEKCSDp-nY-O4mcbYiK4FadM5MPmSTDkVc_EAcKMBf_jhVyr5gI37B9Ep6lNlIgvnJuRjG8en2pqRKvIohVBtu8dlUAohHw6GjlfdJhoZ28ID_4KllUlCG5/s640/blogger-image-1398538475.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MNtDVWmcFzT9crTXx2Th3IEKCSDp-nY-O4mcbYiK4FadM5MPmSTDkVc_EAcKMBf_jhVyr5gI37B9Ep6lNlIgvnJuRjG8en2pqRKvIohVBtu8dlUAohHw6GjlfdJhoZ28ID_4KllUlCG5/s640/blogger-image-1398538475.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7RpxqIzAzavHKusAK6job1mCSdFreH0bJ8WY9KUUfY2BUsGzHns-qgd20Nm-qPNg56yc9b5l7m-di4OelPXriGPaRE5MazoIAfK3UK5iDE6lvMWbeH8xcE6t_GhPRPWBpOIXMrh-LCYu/s640/blogger-image-1997726532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7RpxqIzAzavHKusAK6job1mCSdFreH0bJ8WY9KUUfY2BUsGzHns-qgd20Nm-qPNg56yc9b5l7m-di4OelPXriGPaRE5MazoIAfK3UK5iDE6lvMWbeH8xcE6t_GhPRPWBpOIXMrh-LCYu/s640/blogger-image-1997726532.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1FCaGmFd0jT6x03w6a_Fgo85oKVu7rXEGqmMm06bbkoRzBTXQJSMhpcI4B1dSNHlAabdYCCJkzWn-HS0wQ5i3l6I8cTk1haKWFKc3mkhfhlA3RlXQmOCfWVMx9SF1CNsHDRMjr6fiwDO/s640/blogger-image-1989979074.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1FCaGmFd0jT6x03w6a_Fgo85oKVu7rXEGqmMm06bbkoRzBTXQJSMhpcI4B1dSNHlAabdYCCJkzWn-HS0wQ5i3l6I8cTk1haKWFKc3mkhfhlA3RlXQmOCfWVMx9SF1CNsHDRMjr6fiwDO/s640/blogger-image-1989979074.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIZnIEUXB1SLoYlj8OEq8d23L-GNq9sZgFYXzt4FqhnncfnBAq8QByQDZZ0Bk15VxgVG-OwkPxH4OpCuqJ6YrSbOnFYgVhrjFXVClicq7kupNaYdXdJOJd6kfjfrjhPhwOmQz66L9bQUA/s640/blogger-image-268839501.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIZnIEUXB1SLoYlj8OEq8d23L-GNq9sZgFYXzt4FqhnncfnBAq8QByQDZZ0Bk15VxgVG-OwkPxH4OpCuqJ6YrSbOnFYgVhrjFXVClicq7kupNaYdXdJOJd6kfjfrjhPhwOmQz66L9bQUA/s640/blogger-image-268839501.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-11866654819145650722013-04-20T01:02:00.001-07:002013-04-20T01:02:21.167-07:00South, then beer, then north.First we went south where the short one left me with my grandogrents and my buddy Moon Dawg, then she returned in a very anxious state requiring immediate mountain biking up hills followed by beer (the former being uncommon). Now she seems to be recovered from the trauma and we are working our way back home. Rumor has it the tall one is coming back soon too! I sure miss his 6am wake up and feed me time. Also, I think he'll do a decent job of keeping shorty in <br />
her currently calm state in the case that things get California crazy again anytime soon. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGviMFoAHP4iMQ0gEy7R7oZrDso3uCYaiUjYWdFt3q1EmUVH5tebmsADG43JZlW4JJOfH1BV_RxQkXPUmpPWXJP-lXSKID39rj_Yo-UW2D-DsG-5b061EtlumCBUbXv-u9cNkFOEGzQf2F/s640/blogger-image-1501331188.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGviMFoAHP4iMQ0gEy7R7oZrDso3uCYaiUjYWdFt3q1EmUVH5tebmsADG43JZlW4JJOfH1BV_RxQkXPUmpPWXJP-lXSKID39rj_Yo-UW2D-DsG-5b061EtlumCBUbXv-u9cNkFOEGzQf2F/s640/blogger-image-1501331188.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh62QbRoDE235kzemOztTK-qHdcFM55b-f4JDC6cMxku4I4ZNjwr-eBEzchMXPIfxYeb05qJS3CstDg_39Y_Z3QA74W1SvQ-E8vA5hiTCbWsyrexXCwB44kvktBGolkHvTPu5kBi2RH8FS8/s640/blogger-image--945011565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh62QbRoDE235kzemOztTK-qHdcFM55b-f4JDC6cMxku4I4ZNjwr-eBEzchMXPIfxYeb05qJS3CstDg_39Y_Z3QA74W1SvQ-E8vA5hiTCbWsyrexXCwB44kvktBGolkHvTPu5kBi2RH8FS8/s640/blogger-image--945011565.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfrH9YEi5Z3zSQyWjqcA-MrEGwtl2jAPXKheqkllz4pSvNERO436_lcqrtmQ9qC_rWUHOVlIee_lyrgKNXWTsvRGB0V1YwzcusG2EF8X94Wr0X2WLsI0utqylmCLOhu6CZruF7cktP_2UQ/s640/blogger-image--1339217961.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfrH9YEi5Z3zSQyWjqcA-MrEGwtl2jAPXKheqkllz4pSvNERO436_lcqrtmQ9qC_rWUHOVlIee_lyrgKNXWTsvRGB0V1YwzcusG2EF8X94Wr0X2WLsI0utqylmCLOhu6CZruF7cktP_2UQ/s640/blogger-image--1339217961.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-27869316483551771272013-04-16T20:12:00.001-07:002013-04-16T20:12:57.253-07:00It goes to 11. And then it keeps going!Yesterday marked 11 years of my people's togetherness. Also, luckily there's some sort of taxi situation that happens on that date (4/15) so they always remember. My understanding of taxis is quite minimal as I thought they were cars but this time of year they seem to be piles of paper. Anyway, taxis aside, my peeps are old and have been together since the beginning of time in a dog's mind. Hoping they keep up with the adventures for many more elevens. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGoLVHQ5OlldUEW8bZkjlcGwlP5CZY4F_yEjEhI9Lobj81ZrKjQ3WOfLR0ADh6KPOJTK_hzX8qeHWttHiJxbjhqGbDJtvQRVzcdRJ87WG87YQVJH9U0i-3r6ZC5z8Nh67PJrEN2QXrjtgY/s640/blogger-image--739324300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGoLVHQ5OlldUEW8bZkjlcGwlP5CZY4F_yEjEhI9Lobj81ZrKjQ3WOfLR0ADh6KPOJTK_hzX8qeHWttHiJxbjhqGbDJtvQRVzcdRJ87WG87YQVJH9U0i-3r6ZC5z8Nh67PJrEN2QXrjtgY/s640/blogger-image--739324300.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgp_Fddb-7CcLEHW6hnCvAuA3_A4e_LGrANAEZd_45FBGWSbhzYkv4XBkgwPOVvg8YpypAIzgcCF_40jWopQmNjz0xVufGzcQFYRR4cE_eO-SRA9b9ft0anlacniyy34mFGoCuPl8KIy-/s640/blogger-image--1126281735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgp_Fddb-7CcLEHW6hnCvAuA3_A4e_LGrANAEZd_45FBGWSbhzYkv4XBkgwPOVvg8YpypAIzgcCF_40jWopQmNjz0xVufGzcQFYRR4cE_eO-SRA9b9ft0anlacniyy34mFGoCuPl8KIy-/s640/blogger-image--1126281735.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVVGmvSQkcvgt5s8-N2J8wlklcBVDBtiaUJByDAbjyUKw6nFQmzt9h9-ScyIC_E8HQwkhmCCtV7W47A3CBfeAnqXibduLaJGHbW4BXVuSzovj9wM_CFA8ZQOf_0vN6T40gP4GnE6y7BopQ/s640/blogger-image--2110954082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVVGmvSQkcvgt5s8-N2J8wlklcBVDBtiaUJByDAbjyUKw6nFQmzt9h9-ScyIC_E8HQwkhmCCtV7W47A3CBfeAnqXibduLaJGHbW4BXVuSzovj9wM_CFA8ZQOf_0vN6T40gP4GnE6y7BopQ/s640/blogger-image--2110954082.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbcmUHVn6bJ0btEFnLwYwiLqb7cWmQz1XKP3988_EYLmG76aOK2Wfl706bRe-nclvihtfMjGtAFK4JJsZ6b2jLeNC8EjW3MWDPinuZ0I7VbDwRVl4IQDwTPvNzMGe7JBj7yhMMiZwX2tMn/s640/blogger-image-465069677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbcmUHVn6bJ0btEFnLwYwiLqb7cWmQz1XKP3988_EYLmG76aOK2Wfl706bRe-nclvihtfMjGtAFK4JJsZ6b2jLeNC8EjW3MWDPinuZ0I7VbDwRVl4IQDwTPvNzMGe7JBj7yhMMiZwX2tMn/s640/blogger-image-465069677.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-79971814298980153612013-04-16T07:52:00.001-07:002013-04-16T07:52:25.031-07:00Giant Flying CatsYesterday there were two giant flying cats in our yard. They were rather strange looking with the wings and the funny noses but I suppose cats are funny looking anyway right? My short person called them bald eagles which seems like a strange thing to name a cat but she also used to have a fish named Bear so that's what we're working with. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoRcTQgdsZHP4LgJ1Piheyph6wxAzOuJvcKNfYzEbAymk1JDCxM9kyCi_Da979h40YrsfU-U2Byg6RSwoPs8XkFAFNTMpa61hQYoKZYMQiUHN06jsJzD-PLgQFUkSpGfRU2a50WZ2XfjE/s640/blogger-image--2117002206.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAoRcTQgdsZHP4LgJ1Piheyph6wxAzOuJvcKNfYzEbAymk1JDCxM9kyCi_Da979h40YrsfU-U2Byg6RSwoPs8XkFAFNTMpa61hQYoKZYMQiUHN06jsJzD-PLgQFUkSpGfRU2a50WZ2XfjE/s640/blogger-image--2117002206.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9KYGQzx_hP6oXuIfI8Ixcpd05rTof3uRACaBtcwEDyT02zmM2JO7P5CMU6jraDgw4A6PmF9PMdzkc6mggCeYBoF6yRRklRLkRGp3c2XM9miqnp58X8JBvbtwlZP2wWJebd2_HvHgTyXk/s640/blogger-image-268408087.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9KYGQzx_hP6oXuIfI8Ixcpd05rTof3uRACaBtcwEDyT02zmM2JO7P5CMU6jraDgw4A6PmF9PMdzkc6mggCeYBoF6yRRklRLkRGp3c2XM9miqnp58X8JBvbtwlZP2wWJebd2_HvHgTyXk/s640/blogger-image-268408087.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-22415109432511224212013-04-13T21:26:00.001-07:002013-04-13T21:27:30.693-07:00The ladies have been taking good care of me.Two mountain bike rides and lots of fun parties this weekend. It's fun when the outdoor BBQs start and the mountain biking picks back up because it means I get lots of scraps and lots of runs.

Much. Fun?The short one was a slacker today, so rather than working this afternoon, she chose to take me out for some dirt time and work tonight. I thought that we were just out for a boring drive to the store or the gym or a meeting which is better than a sharp stick in they eye but nothing to wiggle about. But, as soon as I sniffed the Washington wild flowers and freshly budding poison oak I knew we were headed to Syncline. We had a great time riding with our friend Kate. Complete with mud, ticks, swimming and speed. Followed it up with a trip to Yappy Hour which is a large dog party at which they serve alcohol and have payed staff hanging around to keep us dogs in check. Not a bad evening.

Instead it's the time when the people start getting all whiny because they start to get a taste of sunshine and bikes and warmth, and then before they know it the rain is back. And, I have to do tons of extra wiggling to make them smile because they get so mopey and so grumpy and they need their cry towels. <br />
<br />
JW is not whining right now though because he's building a bike park in Panama where he will soon be enjoying a week of warm surf and beach life! The bike park build has been going really well and amongst other things he's been hanging out with Sloths, good people, and lots of iguana eggs (the dirt there is full of them!). He also got to take a day to see the panama canal which, is pretty incredible. especially if you're a digger (check out the excavator they used in the pictures!!). I'm really hoping he brings me a sloth. I'm pretty sure we'd make great friends. <br />
<br />
The short one keeps trying to ride her bike and returning home sooner than usual and unable to get her shoes off because of the shivering. It's cold outside but clearly that mid winter trip to the islands reset her seasonomiter and she thinks its summer. As long as she gets the crazy out somehow I guess we are good. <br />
<br />
When the tall one is out of town we go to the coffee/bike shop once or twice a week where, if the weather is nice I get to lay on the patio in the sun while Anna works. She seems to think its good for socializing me but you and I really know she's the one who needs to be socialized. Aside from our adventures into the big city of Hood River I've just been doing the usual chilling, eating, wiggling, chasing people on trails and swimming. Life is currently supreme aside from the current challenges of getting things from the top shelf. Meaning, we miss Jason... A lot.<br />

Despite the fact that occasionally they smelled like something I'd like to roll in, I didn't appreciate their unpredictability and seeming lack of regard for personal space or the incredibly strong attachment that my fur has to my skin. That was before I met the Shays kids and realized I was way off on my initial assessment of super tiny people. First off, once my peeps made it clear that my bed was off limits, at least I had a hiding place. And once I discovered how terrible those little people were at getting food into their mouths and how much of that food ended up on their faces, clothes and the floor I quicky realized that they where WAY better to stick with than big people and now I'm their biggest fan. As long as they stay off my bed. Really, we've got the same basic priorities. Food, snuggles, playing, dirt, food, attention, food and food. I'm not sure how good they are at swimming yet but I have confidence that we've probably got that in common too. So I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks... If said tricks are cognizant of old dogs physical boundaries and are usually covered in the remnants of their last meal. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF8n-GvuA2pqzBRvAukmI7X8bPTZuNH4rrwTS9W2cA2nvH_i6SLHavRoS_AqV725RziwkumOwsZ-tMsNbAKwzkbDvWYKyWcHB5O_z7s8lbGrzQFi-JhltHd2n722ISdDXncHAXFsr-AC0Z/s640/blogger-image--869452865.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF8n-GvuA2pqzBRvAukmI7X8bPTZuNH4rrwTS9W2cA2nvH_i6SLHavRoS_AqV725RziwkumOwsZ-tMsNbAKwzkbDvWYKyWcHB5O_z7s8lbGrzQFi-JhltHd2n722ISdDXncHAXFsr-AC0Z/s640/blogger-image--869452865.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGj9TEbatgOcrn6xUWKlKYQ4xqxCLiOC8dfg1OFVo6JslECj-_VnkEPt0r9Cf1fOkMzYmJAuQp1tNcyIFsC763RH0azDIOQIBJmRnRNhU7cwbQbE35QoyJpDCYNsztUf_DDYZ1ZLIcs-y/s640/blogger-image--2100083158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGj9TEbatgOcrn6xUWKlKYQ4xqxCLiOC8dfg1OFVo6JslECj-_VnkEPt0r9Cf1fOkMzYmJAuQp1tNcyIFsC763RH0azDIOQIBJmRnRNhU7cwbQbE35QoyJpDCYNsztUf_DDYZ1ZLIcs-y/s640/blogger-image--2100083158.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sn8WcAwSyXIwXCb5CwbfOGvC8Zg-LE0TXjfTRThzHgmbHUboz_TYiMjEGq21l5eezS4XY5LGM-Qlh9OK3NJvn5f-E4ZPVpphh0TvRlyZadfBGS4B6YrWyJSbRxFvbEuAzZ8eGpiXUQhG/s640/blogger-image-328674078.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sn8WcAwSyXIwXCb5CwbfOGvC8Zg-LE0TXjfTRThzHgmbHUboz_TYiMjEGq21l5eezS4XY5LGM-Qlh9OK3NJvn5f-E4ZPVpphh0TvRlyZadfBGS4B6YrWyJSbRxFvbEuAzZ8eGpiXUQhG/s640/blogger-image-328674078.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin0dXNOqwys4CjSFU0wZm8WCBX7GrWI_h-akRUEkkpIE-XOOSJi5hbCnjpw4ephpL3ultPofVk8bmBDcn-neji8B3cB3tWaBVW-lzFfcFjUiOT_q2A7o051u0FMqwdEF6yzSR6LQW3tNZI/s640/blogger-image--166063567.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin0dXNOqwys4CjSFU0wZm8WCBX7GrWI_h-akRUEkkpIE-XOOSJi5hbCnjpw4ephpL3ultPofVk8bmBDcn-neji8B3cB3tWaBVW-lzFfcFjUiOT_q2A7o051u0FMqwdEF6yzSR6LQW3tNZI/s640/blogger-image--166063567.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-81766479995424429972013-03-10T14:04:00.001-07:002013-03-10T14:28:50.510-07:00The PlagueWe have it. "We" meaning the short one and I. Yesterday we hit the road for a quick trip to Bend and Mt Shasta only to find, while Anna was giving a presentation yesterday and couldn't stop coughing, that her demise was soon to come. Hope we made it out before infecting the tall guy! When we left home she was loading all the fun stuff (bikes, dirt shoes, helmets) and now we are sitting in the Oakridge house drowning in balled up Kleenex and empty chicken broth boxes. To add to this viral intruder, shorty decided to drop caffeine figuring she might as well suffer all at once. What does this mean for me? That I need reinforcements ASAP. HELP!!!! She won't let me photograph her so I leave you with these lovely shots from yesterday's drive. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiayM1qU3l9BDlpb44PcxUpWngRBeuS0IR5Fp4_8J8G1QQyaTzO0hXcQfgg_XsUJoEcKM-QPhDtr64k_WU8ZHjXn4383irMCVr2eloNxEGdRMLUr1T4_7zIquZDHllS6n80iLMc01p7-hVs/s640/blogger-image--1224284325.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiayM1qU3l9BDlpb44PcxUpWngRBeuS0IR5Fp4_8J8G1QQyaTzO0hXcQfgg_XsUJoEcKM-QPhDtr64k_WU8ZHjXn4383irMCVr2eloNxEGdRMLUr1T4_7zIquZDHllS6n80iLMc01p7-hVs/s640/blogger-image--1224284325.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxXqaF2d6TXVDPwJxjkOqPkppZfChcHmnGt8JXkRKW-RWVKeA84SLd2YpAt7sPE_A9fDMsAqJsQSlqpCjgkPB7UIQbnfVoASPPOAkjNwfW96bX690dBPxTFctrnw3HOol5_U7-667mwkiH/s640/blogger-image-1037136552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxXqaF2d6TXVDPwJxjkOqPkppZfChcHmnGt8JXkRKW-RWVKeA84SLd2YpAt7sPE_A9fDMsAqJsQSlqpCjgkPB7UIQbnfVoASPPOAkjNwfW96bX690dBPxTFctrnw3HOol5_U7-667mwkiH/s640/blogger-image-1037136552.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-47953398582918309432013-03-07T22:00:00.001-08:002013-03-07T22:11:18.427-08:00I LOVE smelling luggageSometimes I think that maybe I should have taken up drug or bomb sniffing as I find sniffing luggage to be immensely satisfying. Take, for example, the bag of smells my short one just came home with. She's been in DC for a week which is a smelly city. Her shoes have walked through the halls of the senate and house buildings, into the offices of senators and congresspeople (a couple of them even had dogs in them!), through the DC metro (she calls it the gerbil tube), along miles and miles of side walk littered with stinky city stuff and through airports and hotels for 6 days. That bag of dirty cloths and shoes is like Christmas for a dog! I must have spent a solid 39 minutes sniffing all the sniffs out of it when she got home. Also, I was wondering why there were so many tall shoes and suites but hey, what happens in DC stays confusing to dogs. I'm just glad she's back and that I don't live where she was because it smelled a lot like concrete and the place we go sometimes where I mostly stay in the car and very little like dirt, sweat and trees which are the smells I relate to fun. Well, also I like the smell of things that are decaying but my peeps don't approve of that. <br />
<br />
While the short one was in DC pretending to be tolerant of crowds, uncomfortable attire, a couple inches taller, and bad food, the tall one was taking a really cool instructor certification program at the indoor bike park in Portland. I think we can all agree that this week JW wins for coolest job. Also, he's now a certified mountain bike instructor so maybe he'll be able to teach the short one how to ride a bike at a speed that does not necessitate quite as much waiting on our parts. Though, these days I never turn down a break. So, here are some photos of marginal quality from the past week. Though it seems the only one from DC is of the tiny plastic bike pins that Anna refuses to wear and Congressman B always takes great pleasure in pushing. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6y3QdtMEtiVi69dbIPmewRQTL9gj8kDQ1-XJc2LDM0_VvnX-w2noCi1CKPe2FacZJ_FaNoP2YHOyTF6g9tIIOpZe_oQKOmaco-6iP7CeZv_631Xejok2pdIReTzsLT19R5CGWLOzlJSn/s640/blogger-image--968034037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6y3QdtMEtiVi69dbIPmewRQTL9gj8kDQ1-XJc2LDM0_VvnX-w2noCi1CKPe2FacZJ_FaNoP2YHOyTF6g9tIIOpZe_oQKOmaco-6iP7CeZv_631Xejok2pdIReTzsLT19R5CGWLOzlJSn/s640/blogger-image--968034037.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-xfue_aOgGwKfX6ywNFKy1r4VTktyjTfHBEHyai9phzxNIIvNCHvEfQvsj7c2LZsTyjPGJidjFWupIK9-6ehQ-A-g_3TXnshL_l7ZelQx6gEHa9SbzPhsmfr320izolI488tSqI83M9y/s640/blogger-image--358015684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-xfue_aOgGwKfX6ywNFKy1r4VTktyjTfHBEHyai9phzxNIIvNCHvEfQvsj7c2LZsTyjPGJidjFWupIK9-6ehQ-A-g_3TXnshL_l7ZelQx6gEHa9SbzPhsmfr320izolI488tSqI83M9y/s640/blogger-image--358015684.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwn04QLz88iIWbXF6E2vZGr5uMqj06I0zB08uhWY3MoPEVhatHDm16pA-4VYEgq3jjirVruEAYXB59Yqt7W1JKUKMQh2J1vFMPyKKbv-JlTqoNjnash0t6ontG1qoZ2MvGr2l4-PXdJYvY/s640/blogger-image--1124026440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwn04QLz88iIWbXF6E2vZGr5uMqj06I0zB08uhWY3MoPEVhatHDm16pA-4VYEgq3jjirVruEAYXB59Yqt7W1JKUKMQh2J1vFMPyKKbv-JlTqoNjnash0t6ontG1qoZ2MvGr2l4-PXdJYvY/s640/blogger-image--1124026440.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1h-rTRN0hdC3cU-iR1dnsya91nQSufxljjmWF5lGo_nl8Bs0B-JVJWhrQNmW2uv8YxfsAQ4TtJhYHw4Mk5pLpPEKax_Y3vUezf2xYSpmrPRDV__L2YmCLZzHtubkNXzqvjzoGWXr37PT/s640/blogger-image-1992197007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh1h-rTRN0hdC3cU-iR1dnsya91nQSufxljjmWF5lGo_nl8Bs0B-JVJWhrQNmW2uv8YxfsAQ4TtJhYHw4Mk5pLpPEKax_Y3vUezf2xYSpmrPRDV__L2YmCLZzHtubkNXzqvjzoGWXr37PT/s640/blogger-image-1992197007.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSSea1mbFLdaaxAry1_gCqBLjiLHdmjdCQTMx6rliRGGy-TDOhWOsTScFM40XSdoAg5t-Ox0oxsNnoIbazmVQk-PAgMKY19uZ8Ic6OdlRtdiPi9PpOzhT4jmgZEE4c-8sM8sa3FJmtWEk/s640/blogger-image--79607287.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMSSea1mbFLdaaxAry1_gCqBLjiLHdmjdCQTMx6rliRGGy-TDOhWOsTScFM40XSdoAg5t-Ox0oxsNnoIbazmVQk-PAgMKY19uZ8Ic6OdlRtdiPi9PpOzhT4jmgZEE4c-8sM8sa3FJmtWEk/s640/blogger-image--79607287.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-13944944646072913422013-02-24T15:47:00.001-08:002013-02-24T16:10:31.429-08:00Mountain in the middleJust across the Hood River from our house lives a mountain called Gilhouley but most people call it Middle Mountain because its in the middle of stuff. It's in between two main roads, in between two big volcanos, in between two major orchard valleys and there are probably other human reasons. <br />
<br />
The short one used to take me running up the crazy steep and treacherous dirt road until we were followed by a large cat. Now she packs a can of pain in her pack and rides up instead. Apparently large cats like small things and she's bigger on a bike. So I say, where the hell is my bike??? <br />
<br />
The peeps dream of building a network of trail on Middle Mountain to compliment the existing moto trails which are very<br />
unfun on a mountain bike. But for now we've got this few miles of steep grunty climbing to keep the dirt shakes at bay and a network of roads and moto trails to rip around on. <br />
<br />
The trails are fun but its the river between our house and the mountain that is the best. Despite the fact that it washes off all the mud I so carefully covered every inch of my body with while on the trail, there's nothing better than saving drowning sticks for a bit before going home. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjK4PJEwEFgLzm0jz6F56cbAwvIRZBbw10LgbrWL-UeI8O0gh1-2dGSwJnCo3Gbhp2MPV7kHfaRVudq3An2Ebfx6BjJ6EXwI_iWAKJ5q8kUsoTp8uBkzbL3kM7Ux4hNBxARC_0nLcnP057/s640/blogger-image-1289130580.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjK4PJEwEFgLzm0jz6F56cbAwvIRZBbw10LgbrWL-UeI8O0gh1-2dGSwJnCo3Gbhp2MPV7kHfaRVudq3An2Ebfx6BjJ6EXwI_iWAKJ5q8kUsoTp8uBkzbL3kM7Ux4hNBxARC_0nLcnP057/s640/blogger-image-1289130580.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiiJnlGR7bavDJscBKj5uGVpzhuGf3-NwDF4aX745NpaChmK3fWId7WZ-TucI99W6t-GBFD6w_1zhOMZ-n32oLNAkE5OL8702LOvCckJ6XNbQJjQoNpF3p4fFP-WTRYbVQbb17c4MHnkRs/s640/blogger-image--353751482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiiJnlGR7bavDJscBKj5uGVpzhuGf3-NwDF4aX745NpaChmK3fWId7WZ-TucI99W6t-GBFD6w_1zhOMZ-n32oLNAkE5OL8702LOvCckJ6XNbQJjQoNpF3p4fFP-WTRYbVQbb17c4MHnkRs/s640/blogger-image--353751482.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-71890203001647015202013-02-19T15:03:00.000-08:002013-02-19T15:03:45.728-08:00Jinggangshan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tallest guy in China is one of the peeps' coworkers, Chris. He's 6'7"ish and he's been working on developing some new mountain bike projects in China. It seems he's been lonely hanging out at such high altitudes as the average male height in China is 5'4.9" so he's recruited Jason to join him for a month of trail building and bike park design in Jinggangshan. Awesome deal for Jason! Not so awesome for the short one and significantly less awesome for me. The tall one's absence poses a few major issues for me, all related to food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. He is the only one who feeds me people food</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. He wakes up earlier than the short one and feeds me first thing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. He is a sucker</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So now not only will my access to bacon, broccoli and sweet potatoes be significantly reduced, I will also have to wait an extra 20 minutes or so for breakfast and have to work a lot harder for treats. I'm contemplated stowing away in one of his bags but I've heard some strange rumors about what some people in other countries consider to be edible and fear I might end up on the menu... or maybe that's just in Canada? If I decide to stick around and keep the short one company (while slowly starving to death) please come visit and feed me. I suppose she'd be stoked on some human interaction too as she tends to have creepy cat lady tendencies when left on her own for too long and we don't need any cats. </div>

Sore dog joints resulted in an increase in fish oil on my food and some dog drugz that dull the pain. Sadly this means that I'm not up for the big rides anymore. Luckily my people rock so they will still do their big rides and add special Moxy rides to the end so I can still have some fun. It's awesome being me:). And, as always there are strange people things happening such as the jars of rotting cabbage in the kitchen. They call it "fermenting sauerkraut" and I call it something that needs to rolled in. Anything that smells that much like a fart deserves a good roll. <br />
<br />
The short one has mistakenly tried to pretend it's summer by riding her road bike up the roads that are only open in the summer which, today, resulted in a <br />
bit if snow hiking in road shoes and a couple icecream headaches. She followed that up with a trip to Portland to snag the Shays' from the airport and have a tasty city dinner with our favorite little boys and their rad Mamma. Luckily for her she brought home a dogie bag:)<br />
<br />
The tall guy's been digging in the dirt and riding lots. We find out tomorrow if he'll be ditching us for a month of bike park building in China!! Basque0 and I have discussed this and while we will miss him horribly we both agree that given the opportunity there's no question we'd take it so here's hoping for some Asia adventuring! <br />

I suppose once they become those things it might feel a little more ok but right now they are more than just a piece of meat! We stopped by our neighbor's house today to visit our future grass fed meal and pick up a chicken coop. The peeps will soon be chicken farmers and I will probably just be in more trouble and stinkier than usual. <br />
<br />
The short one has been taking the skinny tire bike out a lot this week which means I don't get to go. I've been contemplating chewing its wheels off so that she's got no choice but to mountain bike but I'm not sure how that would go over. <br />
<br />
Luckily for her and her wheels the peeps took me swimming on the Hood today. It was cold and beautiful and the sticks were glorious. <br />

Moxy's been slacking on blogging because I left and took all her interwebing tools with me. Where did I go you ask? I went to Maui. And thanks to a couple really generous people, I didn't wear down for 7 days. My skin turned red in a couple places. I hung out with a bunch of amazing people. I cheated on Moxy with a golden retriever named Yoshi. I tasted some strange green things that I assumed were edible based on their location at the grocery store and later decided I might have been wrong. I sang the ABCs with a sweet 2 year old named Rose. I stayed in a lovely house with a pool where I could hear the waves in the distance and roosters in the less distantness. I did some work. I ate enough fresh avocado to fuel a jet, or just an out of shape 31 year old girl on a bike. I hiked in the woods and walked with a couple awesome Tracys while overlooking the ocean. And I spent much of the week chasing Dylan all over the place on a road bike. We went up hills pretty slow and down hills really fast. I stretched a lot. I smiled a lot. Oh, I also went to the beach... Once. <br />
<br />
Really, the only thing that wasn't completely awesome was the lack of J-Dub. He was missed but he had some fun in Sedona so at least we were both having fun in separate sunny places togetherish. <br />

She is packing both skis and bathing suits. Winter hats and flip flops. Jackets and tank tops. And it's January. If it were May I'd understand because you never do know what's going to happen in the Pacific Northwest but this seems extreme. The only thing I can figure is that she's going to two different and equally awesome places before I see her again. She'd better bring back some good smells. <br />
<br />
Then the tall one starts talking about the trails in Sedona. I love me some Sedona so hopefully I'm going with one of them but so far I've seen no dog beds, leashes or treats being packed and since those are really the only things I need I'm guessing I'll be hanging at home but hopefully I'll get lucky. <br />
<br />
I think these pictures may be an accurate depiction our near future. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-w3ryUES54HASEOkt4MxRmhAqesoX8lrc37Y0rtNs-dAyboqzKhKTgRoHPLgd0ifiEHbaVSet2x9HxtPY7bSJ4JmYQZViYQQn4gkMIKfCuvPSzR3EFtSWIA5gXyxThUVKTPGA6P-xJv5X/s640/blogger-image--24782858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-w3ryUES54HASEOkt4MxRmhAqesoX8lrc37Y0rtNs-dAyboqzKhKTgRoHPLgd0ifiEHbaVSet2x9HxtPY7bSJ4JmYQZViYQQn4gkMIKfCuvPSzR3EFtSWIA5gXyxThUVKTPGA6P-xJv5X/s640/blogger-image--24782858.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkgMkRbCx4RXqQUgQBhxo-yYBf4ljxnJxoEycZpzaUiKsDBlTdpJJvOJ6Qrb8GFdSoNrk0RzGZe16V_mf4VCBGjKIx2B9AnvvWsorw9902yp-g2S7vW8wXm0hDgUzacjlA04BONRF16M4/s640/blogger-image--1117790153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkgMkRbCx4RXqQUgQBhxo-yYBf4ljxnJxoEycZpzaUiKsDBlTdpJJvOJ6Qrb8GFdSoNrk0RzGZe16V_mf4VCBGjKIx2B9AnvvWsorw9902yp-g2S7vW8wXm0hDgUzacjlA04BONRF16M4/s640/blogger-image--1117790153.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisEkQAh2w8pNx2Y2ywuGuxnt9l-Da1nwt7G9Nl63339lP7sv0SqJfTcdyyar99OUknUMo1OjP8oGck6lg-dY3NK_qb73E9F96KlEPt00eeJ4Y77f2EvGc5pWKmIVmFBWdg19P0OjOVlvxi/s640/blogger-image-798596319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisEkQAh2w8pNx2Y2ywuGuxnt9l-Da1nwt7G9Nl63339lP7sv0SqJfTcdyyar99OUknUMo1OjP8oGck6lg-dY3NK_qb73E9F96KlEPt00eeJ4Y77f2EvGc5pWKmIVmFBWdg19P0OjOVlvxi/s640/blogger-image-798596319.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-32471350162046901232013-01-21T22:13:00.001-08:002013-01-21T22:28:30.795-08:00Donut dog beds are the best!I got to spend the weekend in Oakridge hangin with my Grandogma, Moon Dog, and my peeps. The short and tall food people had to take care of some business from which they returned smelling like sweat, dirt, and campfire. I can't help feeling like I missed out but then, when I think about how much I love my new donut dog bed (thank you grandogma!) I feel like maybe I'm cool with not being a part of their filthy mountain bike shenanigans. Also, my grandogma (aka number 1 backup food person), took me for a couple adventures that included finding rotten stuff to eat and that's always a good time. <br />
<br />
The trip was wrapped up in Bend where the short one had a looong meeting followed by an awesome evening ride with me. We spent most of it hopelessly lost AND completely aware of where we were... roughly. Despite the confusion we ventured on enjoying the shreddy fast frozen dirt. I was starting to feel like the short one was trying to loose me in the woods when we finally rolled back to the food containment device (car) as it got dark. And for your ocular enjoyment:<br />

When we ended up at my favorite stick rescue training location I insisted on a swim. Despite the snow. The ice. The below freezing temperatures... I never said I was a very practical dog. I live in the moment and the fact that this plunge would be followed by 30 more minutes of running in 30 degree temps is only now starting to seem like something I should have thought of before jumping in. *shiver <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLX7AuR_QVDLsNGuiLIrmq2z149UpgdFXE4xH1nENzjrfXhyphenhyphenanSdEMF72gQW6BC_Mjja0XCwFNwXnNKtHo0LckctdNyJS65VDUEJMJlVz-lTc2uNNi2MuWu_nwibnIm6CoLwAQa0zHUIe/s640/blogger-image--1376246095.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgLX7AuR_QVDLsNGuiLIrmq2z149UpgdFXE4xH1nENzjrfXhyphenhyphenanSdEMF72gQW6BC_Mjja0XCwFNwXnNKtHo0LckctdNyJS65VDUEJMJlVz-lTc2uNNi2MuWu_nwibnIm6CoLwAQa0zHUIe/s640/blogger-image--1376246095.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEla7B89K8N6gbnfzISt1gzDfk5HpGO6cLkljy2Of9Vok_QiFMHO3IRCRyZIDRGRNFsGStFoK2zlx0n-6eLreCpYJ41gE1onwAogiV9j8WCto3F3sxH5qZwk8JkINhQP6yKJTrvePUo3WQ/s640/blogger-image--1001619657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEla7B89K8N6gbnfzISt1gzDfk5HpGO6cLkljy2Of9Vok_QiFMHO3IRCRyZIDRGRNFsGStFoK2zlx0n-6eLreCpYJ41gE1onwAogiV9j8WCto3F3sxH5qZwk8JkINhQP6yKJTrvePUo3WQ/s640/blogger-image--1001619657.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifRyY0E2Vqc4FL49bCMzmGMB11elaJ4Ogaz24Tqp3Z_jKDJpF9KmRsPVDAKCeIWGAxJohVYzzeNkUg1EhVZSrSglGvQfXMJms6SVQVZBwCJJZlIvKt4pU-hXtAAivNPjNTuCXKUUg9EPLL/s640/blogger-image--1037088791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifRyY0E2Vqc4FL49bCMzmGMB11elaJ4Ogaz24Tqp3Z_jKDJpF9KmRsPVDAKCeIWGAxJohVYzzeNkUg1EhVZSrSglGvQfXMJms6SVQVZBwCJJZlIvKt4pU-hXtAAivNPjNTuCXKUUg9EPLL/s640/blogger-image--1037088791.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXo-ErxhxU0w0zgFx9_vA8PJ4GXCdyBN6nrfY4Tz-okvRH_qikUamcHzqWCEiF4f-Uy1TFyz0Bu4EGkzGQ0_K_uO2gceiWnpern5qEZOkGV5bFSGYjltF3DCcZrEg7XswHwLph0dglBLS/s640/blogger-image--15255574.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeXo-ErxhxU0w0zgFx9_vA8PJ4GXCdyBN6nrfY4Tz-okvRH_qikUamcHzqWCEiF4f-Uy1TFyz0Bu4EGkzGQ0_K_uO2gceiWnpern5qEZOkGV5bFSGYjltF3DCcZrEg7XswHwLph0dglBLS/s640/blogger-image--15255574.jpg" /></a></div>Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-15362115763169493752013-01-16T00:21:00.001-08:002013-01-16T14:04:36.512-08:00Blog CPRIs there anybody out there? Am I talking to myself? If you've left the Wiggly Black Dog fan club I can't say I blame you as the last post was a lot of dog years ago. But, if you're still hanging on I hope that you'll stick around as I'll be posting here once again. The short one deleted her FB account in an effort to look at FB less. Seems to work pretty well so rather than posting stuff on the book of faces I will be keeping folks updated on our shenanigans here once again. <br />
<br />
2012 was a year unlike most. The peeps were on the road a lot and I got to go on a couple adventures with them. They both managed to injure their right shoulders. The less tall one broke, dislocated and separated hers in a mountain bike crash and was off her bike all summer. The tall one smashed his into a cliff and refused to go to the doctor but is still dealing with a sore wing. Aside from all the people whining and beer that was involved in their healing they seem ok now. <br />
<br />
For a 77 year old dog I'm awesome. Hell, even for a 40 year old dog I'm doing great. Most people think I'm only 4 people years old and I haven't even had any work done (aside from a tiny tail shortening). I'm still going on rides with the peeps, running and chasing things. I have also developed an affinity for all things warm and snugly like dog beds next to woodstoves and people beds filled with people who generally don't approve. <br />
<br />
There's lots more but I'll post some more about the biggies. WOOF! <br />

First stop was my grandogrent's house. I on the other hand have stayed home to assist with important home improvement projects. Don't tell Anna but there are less walls in the house than there were when she left. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/11/5220.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/11/s_5220.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Here's my grandogpa snuggling with a strange looking owl. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/11/5222.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/11/s_5222.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Grandogma and the short one enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine after swimming all afternoon. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/09/11/5223.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/09/11/s_5223.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />And this is the beautiful view of the high Sierra that she enjoyed while out for a run in Mammoth this evening. I'm pretty jealous but I don't think I would have enjoyed the next stop (Vegas) so much so I'll be kickin it at the house with the boys, rolling in rotten fish and eating hot dogs. THAT'S the life!<br />Moxy (the wiggly one) and her people, Anna and Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08855363293790785214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352736080700307161.post-84585414751205796182011-08-23T10:47:00.001-07:002011-08-23T10:55:48.002-07:00I can fly!I have no photographic evidence of my claim but just ask the short one... in an attempt to rescue a particullarly special stick from it's eminent demise I jumped off a 15 foot high cliff into a river. It turned out to be a bit upsetting as I maintained my usual jumping composure and slapped the water hard with my belly. The short one must have thought it looked fun and decided to jump of the rock which was not good for me as I have been left with the responsibility of making sure nobody drowns. It was a rough evening by the river for me but I did successfully rescue at least 40 sticks and 3 people from the frigid waters of the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. I'll see if I can get some photos tomorrow but in the meantime, here is a picture of the peeps and I on a bike ride.

Well that's really just his leg covered in insulation from the attic where he's been crawling around fixing things. He moved in with us for the summer to help out with some projects and settle in Hood River or Portland. He is THE BEST! And he gives good belly rubs and feeds me bacon. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/09/1404.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/09/s_1404.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It's been a big blueberry season so the short ones got together with Melissa and some even shorter ones to scour the farm for juice blue bombs. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/09/1405.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/09/s_1405.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />We've also got a garden going! It's a little one but it's a start and the peppers on this plant, while not smelling exceptionally tasty to this dog seem to be a hot commodity around here. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/09/1406.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/09/s_1406.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Here's The tall one on a ride through what seems to be a sprouting forest of lupin.

I thought it seemed strange that she'd pack an ice pack and a beer in her pack but she seems quite pleased to be enjoying it at the top of the climb with the view reflected in her glasses. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/08/09/1408.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/08/09/s_1408.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />That's all I've got for now!
