We spent three days in a class learning how to be a better listener.  Here I am with Madison who was also in the class and is super gorgeous va va voom!  and super nice. Madison and mom are partners for the next 9 months to practice what they learned. 

This is David and Marsha who taught the class and did an amazing job. They are both really really nice and very funny! David is handsome but not quite as handsome as me and Marsha is super beautiful. Most importantly we had good snacks during the class.

OMG the whole class went bowling one night it was AWESOME!

This weekend we got to take another dog for a long walk as part of the Dog Meets World program at the SCRAPS animal shelter!  This is Memphis we took him for a walk\hike all over the Dishman Hills area for two and a half hours and he could have kept going and going! He was so happy!  He is a great dog I hope someone who is really active adopts him so he can go on lots of fun adventures.

First I want to give a shout out to Dane who drove the courtesy shuttle when we dropped off the car to be serviced. Dane was super nice and super handsome and he really likes Tigers! He would like to be a scientist who studies fossils. TIGER fossils!

This weekend we went to an event where the WSU Raptor Club was showing wild raptors it was great! We saw a barn owl and a horned owl and kestrels and a GOLDEN EAGLE!!  OMG!!!  Here I am with the EAGLE OMG!!!!  The WSU veterinary hospital works with the Raptor Club to rehabilitate the birds and return them to the wild if possible but some have to stay in captivity like the eagle because he is blind.

Also!!! Mom joined a SCRAPS program called Dog Meets World where volunteers get to take a shelter dog on an adventure OMG!!!  We took this awesome dog Marco for a long walk at Manito Park!!!!  Here he is at the rose garden. He is a short-haired Chihiwo  Chwew  Chiwow-wa and is about 14 years old. But he loves to walk and we were there for about two hours and he loves people too I hope someone adopts him.

The dogs in the program wear fit bits! So they can keep track of how they do on their adventures. Here is a really great photo that mom took of me and Marco.

Also this weekend when we went to the library there were police and security everywhere. It turns out that for Story Time a couple of drag queens were going to read the books and a group was going to protest because I guess they don’t like drag queens. Well! Then there was going to be a counter-protest to the protest! So of course we had to go to support the LGBT community. The counter-protest had bubbles and face-painting and a fun band and hundreds of people lined up for Story Time.

OMG I got to meet some drag queens!  They are soooo beautiful!  Mom had to explain to me what it means to be a drag queen and that it is performance art. So many people wanted to listen to Story Time that the room was full and we did not get to listen but it was more important for little kids to attend so I did not mind.

I don’t understand why some people were protesting Story Time. I think it has something to do with gay rights.  I don’t understand. People should be able to love whoever they want. I love Lars Larson even though we are both boy Tigers and I love Taj and Dixie too and Dixie is not even a Tiger! After we talked about it I told mom I wanted a rainbow bandana so we went to the store and picked out some material.

We went to the Wild Birds Unlimited store that just opened!  Here I am with Genevieve!  Who is super beautiful and really nice and knows all about birds and what to feed them!

They had dried meal worms!!!  I told mom please please can we buy some and she did!!!!  They also had LIVE ones but mom said NO we are not getting those. Here are the meal worms in a new feeder when you pour them out of the bag they move around and look like they are alive and wiggling around it is awesomely gross!

We have another foster cat now we named him Wesley. He is from a hoarding case that has been in the news. He is super shy and likes to be in hiding places like a carrier. He is doing good and being brave and now we can sit in the room with him while he eats. SCRAPS could sure use some more foster parents so if you can please help out! They can supply everything you need, you just provide the space and the love.

We bought a new vacoom!!!  Mom says it is spelled vacuum but that does not look right. Here I am with Chris who first loaned us a vacoom to try out and also carried all the vacooms and loaded them in and out of the car because not only did we test one but we bought a new one and traded in our old one!  I did not know you could trade in an old vacoom mom says it is a good thing or else we would have had to figure out what to do with it. Chris was super helpful and super handsome. We recommend J&J’s Vacoom!

Then we went to the NW Museum of Arts and Culture art festival it was fun!  We walked around looking at stuff and heard some great music!

There were all kinds of activities for kids and I made a button!  Mom helped a little with the drawing it is me and Lars Larson!  The nice man who runs the machine that makes the button told us about the sequins we could add so I picked out lots!

Here is the finished button and me and Lars my best friend!
