This weekend is Hoopfest!  It is a festival of basketball !  At work last week people warned us that the city closes off lots of streets and traffic is terrible downtown for the Hoopfest weekend so of course I wanted to go see it. It was fantastic! It is the largest 3 on 3 basketball tournament in the world! 6000 players, 3000 volunteers, and almost 250,000 spectators! And one Tiger.

We watched elite former college players, they were amazing!

The SeaGals were here to perform for the crowd!  OMG!

Here are the security guards who look out for the SeaGals and escort them around.

I got to meet some of them OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

We have been going to physical therapy twice a week to make mom’s hand get better. Here I am with Janelle and Brad the therapists who are super funny and make jokes the whole time.  Janelle is gorgeous and Brad is handsome but not as handsome as me.

Also this week we went to the dentist!  This is Diana the dental hygienist who cleaned mom’s teeth and she is super nice and really beautiful too!

This weekend we went for a walk in the woods near our house and discovered these picnic benches!  I did not know they were here we will have to come back with a picnic basket sometime. There are all kinds of trails just blocks from our house!

We went to the library!!  They had stickers of animals including a TIGER!!!!  Mom said we should leave them for the children who come to the library and she also said knowing me I would get the sticker stuck in my fur or someplace even worse.

We named the new cat Jasper and he is doing great!  He is settling in and slowly meeting all the other cats. This was his big weekend adventure where he got to explore all over the house !  He is friendly and is a real good cat.

Look at this T-shirt that mom got. It has a kitten on it and says PAWS!  ha ha ha!  Mom says it is even funnier if you get the joke.  It is something about a movie with a giant shark but I have not seen the movie. mom says it is too scary for me but it is not !!!  I am a tiger I am not scared of a shark movie! I will see if I can order it online.

Mom hurt her hand !!  She has to wear this cool brace which helps a lot but it would be better if it came in a tiger striped pattern. I will try to order one online. And surprise her.

This is me with Dr. Golan who is taking care of mom’s hand and is totally hilarious and also very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

On Saturday we did lot of errands like go to the pet food store where we met this really nice lady named Valerie who loves cats! She was super nice and really beautiful too.

We also went to to hardware store to get a tool to fix the stereo system that came with the house.  I helped figure out where all the wires go.  There were about a hundred cables!

On Sunday we went hiking!  yayyyy!  First we hiked through fields of wildflowers.

Then we saw views of the Spokane River.

We hiked through all kinds of terrain and for lunch we had a cimmammom    cinamom cinnamin toast sandwich made with honey !!  Yum!!

Mom let me use the camera!!!  The rule is no taking pictures of animal poop. We did see lots of horse poop but no horses.  I took a picture of a flower with a bug on it!
