Meet Cecil

Back in May, I adopted a young puppy that I’ve named Cecil! He’s a sweetheart, though also still a puppy and getting up to puppy-ish mischief.

Photos from the trip are in the gallery.

Back in Portland

The rest of this post is a bit of a photo dump — I hope you enjoy! Continue reading “Back in Portland”
