We only had Puck a few days when we decided to take him on a day-trip to The Dalles.

transpixel Here is my new puppy, aptly named "Puck" (research your mythology if you've never heard of this creature, and you'll get an idea of my Puck's personality), age 12 1/2 weeks in this series of photos. He's getting ready to go on his first road trip with us in our new, bright red Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Mimicking a well-trained child getting ready to cross the street, Puck first looks right.... transpixel

transpixel Before deciding he's having none of this photo-shoot stuff, and making a break for it, attempting to dive out the window. Luckily for him, we caught him before he became airborne. He enjoyed the rest of the trip from the back of the vehicle, comfortably installed in his crate. Puck is about 3 months old in these photos. transpixel

transpixel It's March in western Oregon. Meaning it's Wet with a capital W. Tired of grey, rainy, chilly weather, we decided to try out our new vehicle and take my new puppy and Hope along on a drive eastbound for 80 miles into the sun and along to The Dalles, a small town on the dry side of the Cascade Range. In summer, it's one of the hottest spots in the state, brown and desiccated, but in spring it's warm, sunny and cheerfully green. We explored an area along the Columbia River called the Discovery Center. It houses a museum, which we didn't visit (no dogs allowed inside the building). However, the area boasts many nice outdoor walking trails, which we explored. Here you see Adam, Rob, Hope and Puck posing near a view of the river, with The Dalles visible in the background. transpixel
