Portland Weekend with Alee

This past weekend Ed and I packed up the car (with Alee) and headed to Portland to see Matt Insley's latest musical, Hearts Beating.  (Matt is the music director.) The show was hilarious and we really enjoyed it - we highly recommend seeing this one if you have the opportunity!  It plays in Portland through November 20th at the Coho Theater.

While in Portland, we got to check out our favorite pet store, Furever Pets.  This place is just super cool and they have so many all natural and locally made doggy products!  We stopped in before the show to check them out and they told us that the Pacific Northwest Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue organization was holding a fundraiser photo shoot there on Sunday to get holiday pet photos.  How exciting!  Of course we came back to get the photos done - only $10 for a ton of great Alee shots!  Plus, the whole store was filled with other Rhodesian Ridgebacks for Alee to meet and play with - what a great time!  Here were some of our favorite shots:

On the way home on Sunday we headed over the Cascades on Rte 58.  This road goes fairly high into the mountains (around 6,000 feet) but we didn't even think about the possibility of winter weather yet - it's only October!  About 5 miles outside of Oakridge, OR we hit a major snow storm that stayed with us for the next 5 hours!

Once we got home, the next morning the snow also hit Klamath Falls!  Not nearly as intense as it was in the mountains, but enough to give everything a pretty white shade.

As you can tell, Alee was not super thrilled about the snow...
