Hiking at Deschutes River in Bend

I got to go hiking again today... but it ended abruptly when my Mommy (Steph) let me walk in the river (with my hiking shoes and socks -- no rubber boots). It was colder than the other day and windy. My feet got REALLY COLD and I just had enough. 

This was in Bend at the Deschutes River. There is a park and a walking trail along the river, through most parts of town. When we hike, I get to be the LEADER!

Checking out some baby chicks

My moms want to raise some chickens (for their eggs) and although we're not ready yet, they wanted to see how I would react to some baby chickens (chicks) at a local farm store. Well, I thought they were great and I can't wait until we get our own! They said probably not for another year or two, though. But, we're still learning as much as we can about keeping chickens.

Hiking in the Canyon

Last week I went hiking for my very first time and I LOVED it. Unfortunately, my moms didn't have the camera to take any pictures. We were driving through Santiam Pass and I guess I was being fussy so they stopped at a camp site at Soda Springs. We walked the trail up and down the hill to the river and falls. I even walked into the river... it was COLD! I wanted to get in, but my moms said NO WAY! 

Anyway, we live near a "canyon" and it has a walking trail. Some of it is paved with asphalt, and some is just dusty dirt and brush. Sometimes, I like to be an adventurer and wander off... but my Mommy (Steph) captured some pictures on her cell phone before dragging me out of there, when it was time to leave. I was stomping in the piles of dusty dirt to make clouds of dust, but my Mommy never got a good shot of any of the dust clouds I made, just me standing there stomping my foot! We had 2 of my dogs with us -- Nacho ('cho) and Sable ('bo).

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I celebrated St. Patrick's Day by taking a GREEN bath! Yay! I didn't like it when my Mor tried to mix the blue and yellow soap "paint" to try to make a green clover on my chest. It just turned to bubbles, which I only want to touch if they are big blowing bubbles (not in a bath)! But it wasn't too overwhelming... so, I dealt with it... long enough for her to take pictures!
