Toto...

I have a feeling we're not in Portland anymore.
Elliot and I took the family dog, Finnegan, to an off-leash dog park this week.  And, let me tell you, it was unlike any dog park I'd ever seen before.  The landscape here can sometimes be so completely foreign to me.  Not like I've never seen deserty, dry, dusty land.  But to be living in it, taking a dog to run around in it, calling it the "dog park" is just so far from what I'm used to.  But, even though I was sure a rattle snake was going to jump out at us with every step we took, we managed to have a good time kickin' up some dirt, running on the paths, and looking for rocks.
