Hello. I am thinking about moving to Portland, Oregon in the summer and came across this forum during my research. I love animals myself and consider them to be a part of my family, but I think its wrong to bring hte animals in stores as well. Even…
Thanks for the link to DFE very cool! It lists an awful lot of restaurants in Portland that are supposedly "pet friendly".... Jake's Famous Crawfish? Hmmm, I can't imagine taking my dogs there... perhaps a locally-verified list would be more accurat…
I'm one of those people who likes taking their dog everywhere but I respect that some places don't allow it. I can see how a grocery store, with its unpackaged fruits and veggies, might worry about health and safety. But when a place let's it be kno…
I also am a dog lover in Portland. I would have to agree with some others that I don't think dogs should be allowed in stores that sell food. Even my dog, whom I consider cleaner than some people who wander around the stores, could get a sudden urge…
Good Lord man, you write like Huck Finn talks. All proper like and all.. yikes! My two pence worth: get a Shop Vac (da bomb when you have furry friends - f*ck that $500 Dyson piece of crap), and ask Santa to leave you a Roomba in yer stocking this C…
Hmmmmm......Hmmmmmm, lotsa thoughts on this.
Portland's Dog friendly attitude was also one of the many reasons we moved here. I get all warm n' lovey inside when I travel up most any nieghborhoods' walks and see so many people with Dogs out n' about…
kids+holistic+drum circle.... you sound like Sellwood folks to me ;-)
You have the HUGE Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, plus the killer old-fashioned amusement park....
Get in now, it's still very affordable. The main street is wonderful, lots of sho…
hey Nancy! Never underestimate the rudeness and ignorance of people, and super props to you for reporting them to the park ranger. I would have spoken out, too. I hope the "family of idiots" gets parasites so they realize the risk they're putting ev…
hey Cynthia! The first part of your post is hilarious. I can't believe you had the nerve to say that to that woman. Props to you! What a riot you must be!! I agree, whatever...dogs, kids..... hygiene is what we're talking about here, and as much as…
Public bag stations would be great - I lived in Fairfax, Virginia and I remember those in a lot of parks and that I thought people did use them. Yes, PLEASE scoop your poop and throw the bag away! Someone in my neighborhood uses these blue bags and…
I have to say that I agree with this and I don't believe that this in any way "imperils" anyone.
Pets don't belong in the grocery store or restaurants, unless it's an outside cafe or patio. Not wanting them there has NOTHING to do with being dog fr…
Thanks for the article Lulu. I too am a dog owner and lover who just moved here from, yes, California. Although it's not as pet friendly there, they allow dogs of all sizes in some of their malls which I have mixed feelings about. I worked in a day…
Good article! I think it would be cool if there were dog friendly neighborhoods, as one poster suggested. I would live there, of course (since I have three dogs).
I like and agree with this blogger's coverage of the story:
Came across this article in the NY Times this morning. This is, after all, one of the main reasons I moved to Portland, precisely because (I thought) it was so pet-friendly. However, I understand the issues here are broader. Discuss!

Hi Lorri et al,
Thanks for such a nice shout-out about pdxdog.com. I was very happy that we were in the article, felt like a lot of exposure for our little dog-crazy town.
What the reporter failed to say was I only brought Ellie into the Safeway o…

Hi, how are you? I am good. I am interested in moving to the city and thought I would contact you because you look friendly... Can you tell me more about Portland?
And I don't know if you've ever visited or lived in Philadelphia, or Burlington, VT, but I would be interested in seeing how they compare to Portland?
I look forward to hearing from you!

- Hey Lulu,
How are things going? I accidentally deleted your last note with your phone #.Are you settling down yet? I'm on my way. Passed one exam and have one lett. Then I can get a job and a home. I fell in love with a house in Woodlawn, but think it's off the beaten path a bit. Am hoping to be in the NE, pref. Beaumont Village, Alberta, near shops and parks. Give me an update.

- Hey Lulu,
Are you officially back from Miami? I accidentally erased your phone #; Mine is 408-528-4413. I found a house i absotely love in the Woodlawn area. Still don't know much about the neighborhood, but the house and those around it are in good shape. It's by Condordia Univ. if that means anything to you. My exams (for massage)are coming up in the next few weeks and that pressure is freaking me out a bit. I must pass, so I can get a job, then a loan for my house. UGH. I want it all NOW. Miss my daughters and pets, but am hanging in there. How bout you?
