  1. You do look ready to happily attack anyone who doesn't belong. You have that small dog, big personality look.

  6. That's a lovely picture! I'm jealous it's so green there--we've had a really dry summer so nothing is as green as it usually is here!

  8. Love the Japanese gardens! It's awesome that pets are allowed in so many locations in Portland. I can't say the same for Denver...

    1. This was actually in Seattle but yes, both places are pretty dog-friendly. I would have thought Denver would be too?

  11. There is something special about Japanese gardens. The whole thought and reasoning behind them is fascinating.

    I have a nice little story. When Nemo our fospice care cat came to stay, I remember everyone made him welcome, all the cats. It felt as though they flowed around him like the finely raked gravel in Japanese formal gardens - caring but giving him space just to be. He was speial, and maybe not here for long, but got the utmost respect for the others.

  16. Do you put him on rocks or does he climb up there?

    1. About half and half. He posed himself on a different rock and refused to move until we took his picture!

  17. You look quite happy up there! You definitely add to the charm of the garden!

  21. I love Japanese gardens, they're so lovely & serene. Mr. N looks very stern taking his Guardian duties seriously ( but still cute while doing it!)

  23. Nice job Mr N - nothing will get past you on guard duty.

  24. That is one of my absolute favorite places in Oregon (if you're at the formal gardens up by the zoo, that is). I need to get back up there!
