Howard graduated his first scent work classes! I have really enjoyed training again and forgot how much I actually miss it. Howard likes the one-on-one time. He's very calm and stoic so it's hard to read how enthusiastic he really is about the work but he was happy with his graduation present from grandma: a new sock monkey!

Great event to support today at the Hillsboro Stadium. They're raising funds for canine first aid kits for the working dogs on the Washington County Sheriff's Office squad. Help our counties working dogs stay safe! 👮‍♂️🐕‍🦺

Thank you to everyone that supported our Doggie Dash team this year for the Oregon Humane Society. Howard, Cory, and I even made it on the news!

The once abandoned hound mutt from Oklahoma has come a long way thanks to Furry Freight Shelter Transport. If you'd like his autograph, let me know and I'll arrange it with his agent. 🐾 😜

It's going to be gross out today... Anything above 72° is offensive! 🥵 Keep those puppies cool!! Wear your sunscreen if you go out today, shade for those fur kids, and plenty of water for both. 😎

🗓No date on the calendar will ever tell me it is Spring; Spring has only sprung once huskies have filled my schedule! 😶‍🌫️

Come join us! Saturday, May 9, 2026 is Oregon Humane Society's largest fundraiser, Doggie Dash. It is Oregon's largest party for pets and people. I have been attending for many years and the event is always a *great* time.

There are many ways to show your support:
*Join our team and come partake in the festivities (with or without your dog). You are not obligated to hang out as a team or even participate in the walk. You are in control of your level of activity.
*Donate to support all of the work Oregon Humane Society does for animals around the state.

If you have any questions about the event please feel free to reach out. I have been participating for many, many years now and it is always a good time. You get to see so many different dog breeds, there are tons of free samples and pet vendors, and fun events to participate in.

Thank you for your support!
