Rocking the Rock of Ages Hike in the Gorge!

2010-08-25T15:26:00.000-07:00

I needed to cool down after running to the top of Devil's Peak.

2010-08-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

Here I am fetching a stick during the Fourth of July weekend in Cabot Lake near the Sisters Wildnerness.

2010-08-25T15:20:00.000-07:00

This summer has been great, Mark and I have been doing lots of fun hikes. This picture was taken near a place called Zigzag Mountain.

2010-02-17T09:12:00.000-08:00

Here I am at Smith Rock celebrating my 10th birthday. 10 is the new 2!

2010-01-11T19:16:00.000-08:00

Here I am on the top of Mount Si!

2009-11-05T18:49:00.000-08:00

Ah, waterfalls!

2009-09-15T20:19:00.000-07:00

Here I am viewing a lava bomb near Broken Hand near Sisters, Oregon.

2009-01-20T21:16:00.000-08:00

Here I am during the last few days of ARCTIC BLAST 2008/2009!

2009-01-20T21:05:00.000-08:00

Here I am halfway up to the top of Hamilton Mountain. It was really windy in the gorge on this hike.

2008-11-19T07:24:00.000-08:00

Ah, the view from Nesmith Point!

2008-11-15T09:59:00.000-08:00

I think the sign speaks for itself.

2008-11-04T21:42:00.000-08:00

Does anyone have the number for PETA? PS: Yes we did!

2008-08-03T09:21:00.000-07:00

Here I am near Burnt Lake doing one of my favorite activities - exploring the woods.

2008-06-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

Uh, I don't know what to say about this, my crazy human is up to something again.

2008-03-29T17:24:00.000-07:00

A beautiful late winter/early spring snow session! I love it!

2008-03-02T08:32:00.000-08:00

I highly recommend these treats, made by grandma's loving hands in sunny Lincoln City, OR.

2008-02-05T19:23:00.000-08:00

Here I am contemplating life on the shores of Rattlesnake Lake outside of North Bend, Washington.

2008-01-21T17:07:00.000-08:00

I live for this!

2008-01-08T18:32:00.000-08:00

Let snow season 2008 begin!

2007-10-19T15:32:00.000-07:00

Yeah, fall is here! Summer was pretty boring except for the times when I flooded the house and jumped through screen doors! Running and snow season here I come! Stay tuned for some pictures of me in action!

2007-08-21T14:49:00.000-07:00

I guess I have to find a new place to volunteer now.

This is from the place where I administer the therapy:

"Well this is my final goodbye; I’m leaving here after 3½ years. It’s been a pleasure working with you and Raymond, Pet Therapy not only gave our kids something to look forward to each week it also inspired me. It’s been fun getting to know you and Raymond over the past two years. I hope our paths cross in the future."

2007-08-10T14:36:00.000-07:00

Yep, you guessed it, biking season again. I have been stuck in the laundry room for the past 3 months. I've been promised more running and hiking this fall...we'll see.

2007-05-01T10:30:00.000-07:00

I was able to get out in the snow a few times this season. Unfortunately it now appears to be biking and climbing season:(. Oh well.

2006-12-12T09:21:00.000-08:00

Finally, the snow season has begun!

2006-11-29T16:05:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the recent lack of posts everyone. I spent the summer in the laundry room while my humans rode these goofy looking two wheeled things. Now I am overweight and looking forward to the snow season and getting my doggish figure back.

On a side note, I did get to spend some quality time with my cousin Riley and my adoptive people Chris and Jessica as my normal people took too many vacations this fall!

2006-07-12T12:41:00.000-07:00

My human received this email from where we play with the kiddos:

"Hey Mark- would it be possible to stay a few minutes later on Wednesday? I’d like to do some sessions with Subacute from 1:00 to 2:00, and afterwards Carol from Girl’s Res. Would like to do a short interview with you if possible. She has to do a research project for her treatment and she wants to do it on animal assisted therapy. She is very excited and claims Raymond has helped her through rough times quite a bit. She has talked about Pet Therapy as being a big coping skill as well. What do you think?"

2006-05-01T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here I am giving some bouldering pointers. I gave some beta that was crucial to the send!

2006-05-01T14:54:00.000-07:00

Here I am undertaking one of my favorite activities, the scene is Owens River Gorge. Apparently there is good "climbing" here for the fleshies.

2006-02-21T09:30:00.000-08:00

I do love the Oregon Coast!

2006-02-21T09:26:00.000-08:00

Well, it's February in Central Oregon and it's time to climb - or in my case, sleep!

2006-01-16T14:21:00.000-08:00

Here's a picture of my fleshy and I on the Alpine Trail somewhere above Government Camp.

2005-12-14T12:02:00.000-08:00

I went hiking in the Columbia River Gorge last weekend. What a magnificent area. It was very cold and windy there, here I am taking a cold drink from a stream along the way.

2005-11-23T08:56:00.000-08:00

I went to Smith Rock last weekend with my humans. It was fun hiking around the Crooked River. Here I am with one of my humans contemplating life.

2005-11-18T13:52:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the recent lack of posts but you know how the Holidays can be. I have been busy with therapy, playing in the snow and sleeping 18.5 hours per day. I promise to get back to my dog-happy blogging in the New Year! Ray-Ray

2005-11-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

I dressed up as Little Red Doggy Hood this year for Halloween. Although it's a little feminine, I feel comfortable enough with my masculinity to pull it off!

2005-10-24T14:29:00.000-07:00

As the Boomtown Rats so eloquently stated, "I don't like Mondays".

2005-10-21T11:07:00.000-07:00

This is Mark's idea of "humor". See the look on my face, don't I look amused.

2005-10-21T11:02:00.000-07:00

Here I am after a tough weekend supporting Mark and Brenda during the MS 150 bicycle ride. As you can see, they gave me a medal for all my efforts.

2005-10-21T10:52:00.000-07:00

Sometimes my people leave me on the ground to my own devices as they go up high in the air yelling things like "on belay", "on daisey" and other crazy stuff.

2005-10-21T08:47:00.000-07:00

Here I am on the slopes of Mt. Hood. I do love a good romp in the snow.

2005-10-20T09:20:00.000-07:00

As you can see I really enjoy a good swim.

2005-10-20T09:17:00.000-07:00

Here I am in a place called the Eastern Sierras. It was fun times!

2005-10-19T15:14:00.000-07:00

Hello, my name is Raymond and I live with Mark and Brenda in Portland, Oregon.
