We had a joyous, but windy walk downtown Portland today with Max. He is so well behaved with all the random attention he gets at times. He met a new friend this afternoon and said hello to her little newborn as well. We had to fight a headwind when we crossed Monument Square but it wasn't as bad when we made the turn and walked up Spring St. Max was huffing and puffing along and stopped to smell the flowers once more on our way home on this Friday afternoon
