OMG is is SNOWING here in Spokane! It is SEPTEMBER.  The first day of Autumn was less than a week ago. It started snowing yesterday, snow mixed with rain but it melted right away. When I got up in the middle of the night there was lots of snow but mom did not want to get up and go outside to take pictures then when she finally got up it had melted a lot. All day it has been snowing and raining here is the front garden. Yesterday it was windy too and we lost power for about an hour and a half!  Mom says let’s give a shout out to the great Avista Power Company crews who got power restored so qucikly.

Yesterday we did a whole bunch of errands and here I am with Vanessa and Mars who work at The Body Shop they are both so beautiful and really nice!!

Last weekend we took Aria our foster kitten to an adoption event. She was scared! She is very shy.  She did not get adopted so she came back home with us.

The event was at The Country Store where they sell pet stuff and stuff for livestock and horses and all kinds of great things.  The BEST thing was that for the event they had snacks for pets and people too including fresh baked COOKIES that they were baking in their break room!  They were awesome we ate a whole bunch YUM!

OMG we have a new foster KITTEN !!! Turbo and Mittens both went to the PetSmart adoption center and Turbo got adopted the very next day!  We were hoping they would be adopted together but most people only adopt one kitten.  Now we have a new kitten her name is Aria!  She is old enough to be adopted but she is shy and tends to hide because she lacks confidence in new environments. She is a GREAT cat!

This weekend we saw a wonderful painting demonstration by Melissa Cole and Ric Gendron, both very amazing local artists. It was interesting to watch and see their techniques, and also to see them work together on the same painting.

The demo was at the art museum where they also had an exhibit about fairies and trolls and I got to see Troll snot ha ha ha ha ha ahhhhhhaaa!   It was awesome and squishy!

At work our friend Doug brought us some lettuce and some zucchini.  Doug told mom he would bring medium-sized zucchini and mom was like oh thanks they look great how nice of you and later she was all like good grief I wonder what the large zucchinis are like. The medium-sized ones Doug gave us are bigger than me!!!  We have been eating zucchini for days now at almost every meal and it will take weeks to eat it all!

So I found another use for the biggest one. Just don’t tell Doug.

Me and mom were looking at some older photos of me and I realized that my fur is not as shiny and bright as it used to be. Before we started writing this blog I lived for years in a closet which I did not like !!! but my fur stayed shiny. Mom says that’s what happens when you climb in and out of the backpack for hikes and want to go everywhere in the satchel and go on bike rides and snow boarding and all the other things we do. I guess it is a small thing and looking older just means that you are experiencing life and getting to meet lots of great people and having lots of fun. I’d rather have fun than worry about keeping my fur looking like I am still a cub.  Also I am not fond of bathtime.

Oh Boy! This weekend we went to Pig Out in the Park!  That is the name of Spokane’s food and free music festival this is the 40th year!  Here we are rocking out to Dragonfly; they were voted 2018 Best Cover Band in the region!  The drummer was amazing!

And here I am listening to the duo Maxie Ray Mills and Steve Sackett they were really good. Maxie Ray saw us taking pictures and stuck his tongue out at me! ha ha ha!

There was lots of yummy food I really wanted to try the deep fried pizza but mom said NO. She also said NO to the deep fried Snickers and the deep fried cheesecake.

Here I am with an amazing banjo player we met his name is Panda Bear!!!  That is a very good name and he was very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

We also listened to this great sax player but did not get his name.

At work last week there was a snazzy Camaro it was an official pace car for the Indy 500!  It was here for the company Guiding Principles of Leadership Award. This year mom stepped down from the selection and planning committee and she was really gnashing her teeth when she saw this car because when she was on the committee part of her job was to drive the car to get it detailed and this was the best car yet!
