Daisy Lou Medrano

My beautiful pit bull died this morning at 6:45am.  Daisy girl was a Valentines Day gift from Jacob on February 1, 2004.  She would have turned 6 tomorrow on Thanksgiving.  Now she is in doggy heaven. 

It's really too hard & too painful to write much right now.  I can only say that I will miss her and that I loved her.  I have cried a lot these past few weeks about her illness and now that she's gone I feel a sense of relief that her suffering is over.  But as we know it still makes things hard.

You know that you will outlive your pet... but you grow attached to them and they become friends and companions and when they go... it really hits you hard.

Daisy girl was the best dog I ever had.  She is the best pet I ever had.  She was also - I can brag - the most beautiful dog.  She was stubborn, standoffish and moody... but she was my girlie.  She was my precious hoo-belle and she will be missed in a million ways.  It's going to be hard to go home tonight and not have my girlie meet me at the door.  Great pets come along only once or twice in a lifetime.  I feel blessed to have had her.  She was precious, special and such a lady.

Rest in peace Daisy

My Fanbase Will Destroy You!

Jake and I had an awesome weekend in Portland!  I can't get enough of it :)
Saturday we chilled in the Pearl District, ate great food, people watched, strolled around Powell's bookstore, bought some gear at Urban Outfitters and the Levi's store...
Then at night we headed out to Slabtown and saw... Sleep, Free Moral Agents and 2Mex.  My Fanbase Will Destroy You!!!  This was one of the best shows I have seen in awhile - good underground hip hop and a nice vibe.  We weren't the only hardcore 2Mex fans in the room :)

I'm really digging Sleep and Free Moral Agents... I'll be checking out their CD's. 
We got back to the hotel at about 2:30am, but because of Daylights Savings it was only 1:30am!
Sunday we slept in, grabbed some Jack in the Box and headed to the Woodburn Mall.  Another Levi's trip, Vans store, Zumiez then home to Corvallis.

Free Moral Agents - lead singer... she's a cross between Portishead & Bjork, I think I love her

She's singing with 2Mex

Now it's back to Monday.  But I only have a three day week so I can't complain.  In two weeks in the Restoration Pow Wow adventure... stay tuned :)
