How is the Oregon weather, Sharron?

Off Topic
  • LOL… I thought the name of the place was eBola Inn, and wondered why they would name a hotel that. Guess I am short a few marbles today. Sharron, it looks spectacular, and I can understand why you book it so far in advance. Of course, I have to ask you, is there a handicap unit? I didn't see anything on the web that mentions it - guess you have to call down and talk to them. This definitely looks like a place we would love to visit with a basenji.

  • Some of the downstairs units might work.
    9 has grab bars in the shower and by the toilet, but no removable
    shower wand or wheelchair access tub.
    I think a phone call would be in order.
    I tell you, any room has a wonderful view.

  • That place (and price) might be worth the drive across the country, I have long wanted to see the Oregon coast! But they say "1 small dog" …are they negotiable on that?
    I figure we could get there in 4 days!

    Enjoy your vacation, that looks like a wonderful place, even in a storm.

  • Thanks Sharon. If Darrel and I plan on staying somewhere for any length of time, he needs one of those roll-in style showers. We'll be fine without one for the August event, however.

    Hope your day was enjoyable. One thing I like about the Oregon coast is that it can be so enjoyable even when the weather is blustery. Have you tried flying a kite down there? We did, and had it up almost 1,000 feet. I wonder if your basenjis would get a good hoot out of kite flying.

    Have some fish and chips or clam chowder for me.

  • Gee, spelled your name wrong again, Sharron. Apologies!

  • Oh, I love the stormy weather times here.
    You snuggle down, watching the waves and read.

    re dog size at the Ecola inn, the owners have a standard poodle size dog.
    I think the behavior of the dog is more important than the size.

    The hard part about this place is getting a room! As I posted before, most of us book a year in advance. But the website does have some opening now.
    Its my idea of heaven, this Oregon coast area!

  • It's probably your dogs' version of heaven too. Lots of fresh air and tons of space to move around in. So glad you are all enjoying it. Keep us posted on your trip.

  • As much as the 2 b's love the beach, and they do! You should see them running between Lou and I, running full out, ears down, tails almost straight, going full out…wonderful.
    THEY love the sun they get down here. We live in a bunch of trees at home, so the sunlight isn't much...
    But here, we are on a corner unit, windows on 2 sides, and they follow the sun that flows into the room.
    Lou calls them heat slugs, but the are so much prettier than that!

  • Thanks a lot, Ms. Sharron…makes me homesick. I haven't seen the coast in almost a year. I just sold my house in Waldport. :(

    But I can still make my way to Seal Rock on rare occasions.

  • I have never been to Sea Rock, but once I retire, I plan to travel this lovely coast and see all the lovely area's it has to offer.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    Yea!!!!!!!!!! Hubby Lou got some photos of Wheat, in her pink collar, and with her pink bucket today. As we only have the laptop, he doens't have the cable to attach to send this, so it will have to wait until I get home. As least you will be able to see I wasn't telling a "story"..well, I was telling a story, but now I can back it up! Laugh.

    My Topper is 14 and even here in Florida he gets cold when the wind blows in winter. Eddie gets cold too, but Nicky could probably be out in freezing weather with no problem. I have sweaters I put on them when the temp drops and they seem much happier…but if they are not cold, they won't let me put them on! They are all older so not too active on our walks.
  • Argh, this weather is lovely, but…..
