Oh wow look at these beauuuutifulll cakes at the bakery.  All Mom wanted to buy was some bread. Borrring.

Then we went to the library and I helped put books in the RETURNS. That is for the books that you are taking back to the library after you are done reading them.

I found something good to read while Mom looked around.

I helped check out the things we picked out.  This is for the books you want to take and read in the comfort of your own home.

Then we went home and Uncle Pete (not my real uncle he is not related to Auntie Darcy) came by and we got to ride in his truck.  I LOVE riding in the truck!

We went to my favorite Indian restaurant. This is Mom’s lunch but those little silver bowls are just the right size for me.

Back in the truck.  I wanted to go for a walk after lunch but it is raining too much.  I do not mind getting wet but….well….let’s just say that not everyone enjoys the smell of wet tiger.

So we came home and played Yahtzee.  Mom won every time. I think she cheats. I came in second place the second game!

Then me and Uncle Pete read my new tiger book that I borrowed from the library.

I was feeling lonely.    so Mom let me come to work with her.  I sat on her lap.

Still missing Auntie Darcy.

After work we went to the store and I got to pick out a toy.   It was hard to decide.

Finally after about 20 minutes I decided to get a foam ball and they had one in my favorite color.  Mom let me play with it in the car on the way home.  If I play quietly it is ok but if I get too rowdy I am not allowed to play in the car while it is moving.

When we got home me and Dino played with the new toy in the back yard.

Saying goodbye at the airport.   I am sad.  I miss you already.  Come back soon so we can have more adventures!

Or we can look at geology books together.

Here I am riding in the satchel with Mom!!!  yayyyyyyyy!

Out of the satchel!! Even better!

Wheeeee!  I can feel the wind in my fur!!!   We thought it was going to rain all day so we brought all the spare rain gear we could find.  Then it was dry and even sunny part of the day!

Ha ha ha ha  this is so fun!!!!  We  were almost the only ones there.  No waiting in the lift line.  It was great!

Aunt Darcy is the bomb!  After about the tenth time that mom got knocked down getting out of the chair lift she refused to ride with Aunt Darcy.

Back view.  Can you see my tail?  Mom was too slow taking the picture and we whizzed right by her..

Here I am tucked into a jacket pocket.

Yippeeeee!   I do not know why the two guys behind us are fighting. But I have noticed that where Aunt Darcy goes chaos often follows.

We were planning to go snowboarding again today but the I-90 pass was closed almost all day. But we had lots of other things to do.

It was time to fuel up the car again.  Auntie Darcy volunteered to pump the gas.

Mom was going to play a trick and tried to tell her that her car only used the expen$ive gas but I told her the truth.

Then we went to Moxies Powder House!  Oh wow it was so fun!  It is this really cool shop for snowboarding (and skiing) and Moxie is co cool and funny.

Moxie knows all about snowboard equipment and he and Auntie Darcy talked for a long time about her snowboard blah blah blah.

Here I am with Moxie and his totally awesome dog named Geisha.  We got along great!  She was not afraid of me.

Here I am in Moxies workshop. He let me come downstairs and explore. I was very good and did not make a big mess while playing.

There were so many fun things to do!  I am a Full Tilt Tiger!  hah ha ha!

Here I am with Moxie and his beaauuuutiful wife. And also my new friend Geisha the watchdog.

Then we went to the animal shelter to visit the kittie cats. This is Melvin who got adopted this very same day!  I must be a good luck charm.

After that we went and bought bagels and this time Mom remembered to take a picture.  This is the really nice man who got us our bagel order. He is holding up my business card that has the address to this website!

After that we went to the bank but they did not want to take a picture with me.  They were probably scared of me.

Then we went home had a hot lunch and I played in the yard.

Aunt Darcy and Mom and I played shadow games against the side of the house. It was a super great day!

We went to Pike Place Market and visited the gum wall.  It’s really cool but kind of gross.

Had lunch at a really yummy restaurant. Fantastic grilled sandwishes!  Auntie Darcy ordered something really tasty.

Here is the wonderful man who runs the restaurant.

Then we went shopping and I found this totally cool backpack but Mom said No.

Here are the beautiful nice ladies who run the store where I saw the Hello Kitty backpack.  That Mom would not get for me.

The handsome fruit seller.  I wanted to stay with him but Mom said No.

Here I am with the friendly policeman.  I wanted him to handcuff me for fun but Mom said No.

With the fish seller!  They are so  funny at the fish market!

Here I am in the sweet shop with the lovely lady who runs it. Lots of yummy things here but Mom said No.

Here I am with the awesome balloon maker.  I was very careful here not to pop any balloons with my sharp claws.

The gorgeous lady at the spice store.

The charming man who makes classic skateboards from recycled wood.  Really COOL skateboards!  He was cool too.

With the dazzling ladies at the store where Mom bought this cute plaid toy horse.  I hope I get to play with it.  I will be careful.  I promise.  For real this time.

The fierce predator in his natural habitat.

Look at all these fantastic beautiful vegetables!  Being a carnivore it takes a lot for me to admire a vegetable and these are awesome.

Then we went to the library and Auntie Darcy found us a good book to read. No more geology thank goodness.

The downtown library is TOTALLY COOL!  It has all kinds of fun stuff like a green escalator.

The library has cantaloupe   cantilevered  rectang… diamond-shaped grid whatchamacallit walls.  This architexcture stuff is hard to spell.

The floor has words in it!   It is perfect for a tiger that is not so tall and cannot reach the bookshelves..

On the way to Snoqualmie Summit.  Riding shotgun with Auntie Darcy.

I’m so excited I can hardly wait!!!!

We met Mom’s friend Pat there.  She can snowboard really good and has a really beauuutiful snowboard.

Here I am in the satchel; riding in this is soooo fun!

Then Auntie Darcy had one of her “good ideas”.

Auntie Darcy; this is NOT a good idea!

This is MY “Good Idea” despite Auntie Darcy’s concerns and objections.

Whoo hooo! Riding with Auntie Darcy!!!! This is the way to snowboard! Free as a bird ….  I mean tiger!

My Auntie Darcy is visiting and staying with us!!!! She is so fun.  She brought me Tigers Milk bars. She said she looked EVERWHERE for these and finally found some to bring me. I did not tell her that we have them here too.

Wow she also brought me these cool rocks that are all shimmery and match my colors – they are gemstones called Tiger’s Eyes!

Aunt Darcy is a geologist and knows all about rocks and volcanos and stuff.  I try to pretend to be interested. But I like tiger books better.

We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant!  Yum yum.

We went to this place where people practice skydiving indoors.  WOW!  That was totally cool.  I wanted to do it but Mom said No.

We saw a fire truck!  I wanted to make the siren go but Mom said No.

!!! We did it!     I went snowboarding!!!!   Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!

Mom used the leash to secure me under her jacket.  They let me on the chair lift!  Tigers rule!   Coming down on the snowboard was the MOST FUN EVER!!!!!!

But Mom said it was awkward for her so after a while she let me go play in the snow and then I had to wait in the car. I ate all the snacks.  Except for the carrots.

The next day we went out to breakfast with some friends. I LOVE restaurants.

And then I got to go to the shopping mall. Wowwww, that was amazing.

We found the Perfect!  carrier for me. It’s this really cool satchel that I fit into just right. It zips up to keep me safe and dry and it will be so easy for me to go more places now.

After lots of shopping errands we went to the library and I got some really good books to read. We brought some home too. You can borrow books and movies and stuff. It’s awesome!

Got the vehicle all fueled up and we got the car washed too. Wow the car wash was great!   Mom forgot to take a picture until the very end. I suggested we go through it again but she said No. She promised to buy me a bagel instead. I like the blueberry ones.  She forgot to get a picture at the bagel shop too!

On Sunday I helped at the animal shelter. Mom does volunteer work there and also fosters kitties.

Here I am with the most awesome Sunday morning colony room\vet services recovery volunteer crew!

After that we came home and I played in the yard while Mom made us a hot lunch. The sun actually came out for a few minutes.

Hmmm. This is not exactly what I had in mind. Tigers are carnivores ya know!

After lunch we went for a bike ride – yay!   I ride in the pannier. That’s a French word that means a saddlebag for small tigers.

On the way home we stopped at the playground. I like the slides the best.

While Mom did chores I watched Downton Abbey.  I like Anna  she’s really nice.  I do NOT like Thomas. I don’t think he would even be good to eat he would taste all sour. Blech!
