Oh Boy at work there was a video crew making a movie and they came in Mom’s office and interviewed her!!!   They should have talked to me. I have much more interesting adventures than mom.

.

Also while at work I helped on the computer. It is best when you have more than one monitor, you can get a lot more done that way.

One day we went to the store and look at what they are selling!!  Mom said she is not going to do any pumpkin carving this year.  I thought it was fun last time but mom did not enjoy the little plastic carving tools.

At the store there is a machine where for a quarter you can try to pick a new friend. We did not have any quarters. But next time I will bring quarters with me.

We had so much fun exploring Portland! Here we are in the morning looking at the mighty Columbia River.

This is me with Kessey who is so gorgeous and works in a gift shop. mom did you notice all the great cat stuff in this store!?!?

Portland has so many super cool light rail trains that go all over the place!!!

OMG this is Neil he gets to drive the train!  He stopped the train and talked to us and was so fun and funny!!  He is so handsome and totally cool!  We should spend a few days just riding around on the trains.

Here I am with a pirate!  He is guarding a place where there is glow-in-the-dark putt putt golf!

And here we are on the way home.  It is fun to go travelling and have adventures but it is always so  good to get home too.

We went to Portland for a conference!  Mom says this is the last one for a while.

Someone brought VooDoo donuts to the conference!!! YUM!  Tigers love donuts. And they are good for you too don’t believe what anybody else tells you.

We also got to eat lots of delicious food at restaurants and at the meetings.

The Very Best thing of all is I got to see Emily and George again!!!  Me and mom brought them red bandanas just like mine!!! and we put my Portland pin on the one for George and we got another Portland pin with a rose on it for Emily.

Here we all are with Brian!  Emily and George belong to Brian’s children. Brian travels a lot and he takes Emily and George with him. It is so nice to have good friends like George and Emily and Brian.

Dove is staying with us!!!!  Dove stays in our guest room when her mom is travelling. Dove is a very beautiful and sweet cat and is a lot of fun.

Look what we ordered on the internet it is a water bottle for Limberbutt McCubbins who is a cat running for President. President of the United States! For real!

Best of all the water bottle came in a box that is the perfect size to play in. It’s been kind of a quiet week because mom has not been feeling good and when she is sick she gets Grouchy. So it  is best to play quietly.

At work I got to spend some time with Bill he is in charge of the Human Resources department. That is a very important job. It would be good if there was also a department for Tiger Resources. Bill is very nice and handsome and is a Seahawk fan same as me.

Yesterday we went to a conFURence in Bellevue.

We ran into our friend Mike who works at Nintendo!!!  I would like to work there and play computer games all day. I bet they have games with tigers in them. Or if they don’t then they should.

Oh Boy!  Lunch Time!!!  The food was totally awesome!  Tigers love buffets.

Here is something totally funny that happened!  This is me with Jeff who is our next-door neighbor!  I am not making it up he lives right next door to us and he works for Dell and he was at the conference but we did not know he would be there! Jeff is a really good neighbor and is really nice and very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

Mom had some things she had to do in Seattle and we had lunch at Pike Place Market!!!  I LOVE restaurants!

Mom ordered a salmon salad it was totally awesome!!  This is Drew the chef he was so nice and so funny and is so handsome.

While we were at Pike Place Market we walked around and saw this great man dressed as a statue he looked so real! I mean like a real statue!  This would be a super fun job, posing with tourists and tigers.

Oh Boy Oh Boy today we went to the Farmers Market!  First we got organic fruit; peaches and apples!

Then we got some blackberry honey it is delicious!  Here I am with the beautiful lady who was selling the honey I forgot to ask her name. She was really nice.

Here I am with Rowan who was selling jewelry and is totally gorgeous!

Mom bought fish tacos from this food truck! Tigers LOVE fish tacos! Cameo and Trent made our lunch and OMG they were the best fish tacos EVER!  The fish had some Cajun spice and there was some fruit salsa that balanced perfectly. Cameo is so beautiful and Trent is very handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

Also at the Farmers Market we got some flowers and brought them home for Dixie!

It has been a great week!  Mom’s bike had to go to the shop again and now it is in Tip Top shape!  We have been going for lots of bike rides I am so HAPPY!  A big shout out to Seth who took such good care fixing the bike.

Also this week we went to Seattle for a long meeting! I love car rides!  We carpooled with Bill he is a good driver and he has a BIG TRUCK!!!  Mom we should totally buy a big truck.

Here is Bill driving he is very smart and handsome but not quite as handsome as me.

While we were in Seattle we had lunch at a little park but mom forgot to take a picture until we finished eating. So you can’t see the yummy salad we had. I keep telling mom I am a carnivore but she keeps fixing vegetables.

Another day we stopped to take pictures on the ride home. I am so HAPPY the bicycle is working again I LOVE bike rides.

Mom let me play grassland tiger for a little while along the trail.

Then today we went to see the doctor!  Dr. Bhatt is SUPER nice and SUPER gorgeous.  And she is going to have a baby!!!!  She can examine me anytime. But I do not want my temperature taken. Ever. Never. No No No.

We got Mom’s bike repaired!  Here I am with Seth the bicycle mechanic who is super nice and super handsome. He kindly informed mom that there is a limit to how many patches you should put on a tire tube. When we picked up the bike mom bought more tire patches! ha ha that was funny!

Then we took the bike out for a test ride!  The brakes work now which is a big improvement.

We also went for a walk this weekend. I found a new cat friend in the neighborhood.

Mom is getting to the end of  the big pile of books she has to study for the program she is in. On the left is all the books she has finished!  I am sitting on the ones she has to read in the next few weeks. Dixie is sitting on some other books that Mom had to study for her job (was supposed to study, anyway).

Mom says it is spelled C-O-N-F-E-R-E-N-C-E but that is hard for me to remember I am just a small tiger. We were in Seattle for a confurence! The most important thing at the confurence is to gets lots of yummy snacks.

Oh Boy oh Boy I got to see my friends Emily and George again!!!!  yay to Brian for bringing them with him!

It is also very important to go out to eat at a restaurant I LOVE restaurants!                 Ha ha Steve is making rabbit ears behind me!  And that is my friend Milo who is so handsome and Lisa who is so beautiful.

Also at the conference is Ed one of the facilitators who is super nice and handsome and has a terrific smile but is not quite as handsome as me.

And here is my new friend Ryan who is from Canada that is a different country!  Ryan is very handsome and is really smart and really nice too. I’ve been to Canada and would like to visit again. Hint hint.
