The boys at the spa - they got the full groom package including a "blueberry face rub"

Southern Kitchen - PNW's version of classic southern cooking, as recommended by the tow-truck driver

Cat-ambush

A U.F.C. minion 

This car bumped the car in front of it three times on the way in and twice on the way out.  It took at least four minutes to park and another two to leave.  Our jeep was parked behind it about three car lengths away.  Everyone in the restaurant was watching this parallel parking debacle (and laughing).

Art Walk Gallery - the gallery is right down the street and only open one day a month.  We decided to go in this week and check it out.  We lasted about 5 minutes once we realized there were no paintings under $1000 on the walls.

"You cannot see me, meow."

"No, I don't think you see me, meow."

"Told you, meow."

"Okay, you might see me."

A cat? Where?

The Mastermind - hiding and waiting to pounce

Stalked

The true menace - U.F.C.  (A.K.A. Lilly - such a sweet name for a stalker cat who runs up behind the pugs and spaps them)

Tacoma - end of March

These are some miscellaneous pictures from March in Tacoma.

The boys watching the chickens eat an apple.

The boys have chew sticks called "bullies."  They often have to take break-naps while chewing.

Maxie has "Llama-Naps" instead of cat-naps

An artsy light post

Walking the dogs at night, avoiding street-zombies

Pothole repair on Pacific - Tacoma is notorious for its terrible pothole problem.

View from Fawcett Ave to downtown Tacoma

The mountain, not out

Binky at the Art-Walk (a house down the street that opens up one day a month to show art).  The rest of the time the puggers use it as a yard to run around in.

A Binky-Nap, eyes closed

The Dregs left overs at the park - so much litter at such a pretty park (yuck)

The will-not's park (aka Homeless Park).  They just sit around and drug it up all day until the shelter opens - we call them "Dregs"

Maxie taking a toy for a walk (the toy is called his "Wigidy" because it makes a sound like "Wigidy-Wigidy-Wigidy" when you squeeze it)

Binky-nap, eyes open

Binky at a piece of property he was considering buying, in U.F.C.'s territory

Sunset over Hill Top

I wonder if they like silk too....classic Tacoma graffiti - Dreg art.  Sheesh - go to school and learn how to spell......

Changing the battery in the Jeep, in Proctor, after a 1.2 mile walk to the auto parts store and a 1.2 mile walk back - with a 45 lb battery.  The Jeep suddenly wouldn't start.  Not sure yet what the problem is.

Getting towed after replacing the battery did not remedy the problem
