Weekend in Portland

Right now I'm on my way back to Kodiak for the first annual Kodiak Area Marine Science Symposium. It's going to be really weird to be back in Kodiak, especially without my dog to greet me. I haven't been in the house since we lost her and I know it will really hit me when she's not to be found in her familiar places. I still miss her like mad.

On a lighter note, we spent the weekend in Portland and had a fabulous time. The main reason for our trip was to visit a lab breeder about picking up a new pup. Well, as I'm sure most of you can understand, to go visit tiny dogs and not commit to bringing one home is a herculean task. We failed and put a deposit on a female who was born on March 19th. We'll bring her home on May 7th.
Though we haven't picked her yet, we do know she will be one of these two.
I mean, how cute can you get? Seriously? It's a little ridiculous.

I was also able to go on a fantastic bike ride from the city to Sauvie Island. It was a gorgeous little farming community just outside of Portland. Lots of sheep and water fowl. Oh, it was quite lovely, it was.
Oh, I also went by the local tri shop, Athletes Lounge, and got a great deal on a new pair of Sidi bike shoes.
The husband enjoyed plenty of well crafted IPAs along the way!
