Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a weekend filled with many things to be thankful for! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and lots of cuddles, naps and whipped cream throughout! We were left home alone for a few hours when Mommy and Daddy went to her happy place on the coast...

They saw whales and this time they saw feral kitties too...

There were two black feral kitties with very shiny furs that were clearly being taken care of by someone because of all the cans of food plus more dry food scattered around. They had a really nice view too...

Of course Mommy will now have to check on them every time she goes over there. She's a worry wart. Anyway, they also saw a lady carrying her dog on her shoulders on their way to the beach...

From that point they were several sand dunes away from this...

Oh, that's not a big birdie in the sky, it's the Coast Guard helicopter. They work hard keeping peeps safe kinda like I work hard helping Daddy with the laundry...

And Isabella helps Mommy with some computer stuffs...

We know both of them are very thankful for our help. 

How was your weekend?

Happy Monday to you!

Diet? What Diet?

Mommy and Daddy went to the coast yesterday and left us all alone so we had to take things in our own paws.  To make sure we didn't starve, we ordered pizza!

I didn't even totally ruin my diet since I at least made sure it was smooshed thin crust...

You'd think that Mommy would at least have brought home dessert...

But nope, she didn't.  

Hope you get dessert today!

A Day at the Beach with Me!

Hi there! Sadie here. Mom is doing the touristy stuff with her boss from where we used to live, Colorado, so I thought I'd show you what I love most about Oregon - the beach! I love going to the beach, and not only because the two brats, I mean cats, have to stay home! I love to run in the cool waves!

I love the wide open spaces to run and explore!

Occasionally I take in the sights. Notice that I'm cute even from behind!

Thanks for spending a day at the beach with me! I hope you had as much fun as I did!

Tidepooling on the Oregon Coast

There are many things to enjoy on the Oregon coast and tidepooling certainly is a favorite since you never know what you'll find. I took these pictures last fall of some sea creatures in tide pools near Newport, OR which is on the central coast of Oregon.

In downtown Newport along the bay, there are always sea creatures to see, like these sea lions who are always on the docks no matter what time of year. You'll hear them barking the entire time you stroll through the quaint shops enjoying a wonderful day!

Weekend Getaway Time!

The weekend is here and it's time for rest and relaxation! We are going to do that by going to the beautiful Oregon coast. We live an hour away from the ocean but try to get there as often as possible. If you ever find yourself visiting our beautful state, be sure to drive down Highway 101 for as long and as far as possible. There are gorgeous sights the entire way including these photos I took along the coast.


I took this picture from the Sea Lion Caves north of Florence, Oregon which we've visited several times but only once the sea lions were actually in the cave. At least the views were nice!
There are many lighthouses along Hwy 101 along the coast of Oregon. I took this photo of Heceta Head Lighthouse through the ocean mist. Heceta Head Lighthouse is 13 miles north of Florence.

Ready for summer!

I can't recall when I last saw the sunshine here in Oregon but boy am I ready for it to return! So are the cats! I think the first day the sun shines through the windows, I'll be laying in the sunbeams right beside Angel and Isabella. Our dog, Sadie, just wants it to stop raining so we can go on our walks in the forest again. It was nice here a couple of weeks ago but it was the day I left for Colorado so I missed it. It's been overcast and rainy ever since I returned a week ago. The weathercasters keep teasing us with sun in the forecast but I've yet to see it.

In the summer when the weather is hot here in the Willamette valley, we love to go to the coast where it's usually at least 10 degrees cooler. Sadie absolutely loves the beach. She runs in the surf then all over the sand and back into the water. She sleeps all the way home that's for sure! A good time is had by all!

Oregon is a beautiful state and very dog friendly so a great place to vacation for pet owners. There are many trails throughout the state that allow dogs plus the beaches are uncrowded so your furbaby can run all over. There's many lodging choices and plenty of outdoor cafes so everyone can have a good time and not be left at home. We just need summer to arrive quicker! All this rain is going to make this a truly beautiful and very green summer!
