Hello friends. I'm sorry to inform you that the
Domos have gone into hibernation. I'm not quite
sure for how long, but hopefully not too long.

Until then, take care.

Points

Lily and Susan posted at the same time and
they both get one point!

Day 10

Guess where Paranoid Domo is!

Points

Sorry I've been slacking here! I have a million
things going on right now and haven't had the
time.

Lavimom guessed Day 9 correctly. It is the
Mission Theater.

Susan guessed Day 7 correctly. It is on
NW Naito Parkway.

Day 8 still has not been guessed. I'll give one
more hint... when we went by this place, my
daughter saw that they have mannequins for
sale and she really really wants one. (I want
one too, but they're expensive!)

put back to where it belongs.)

Day 5

No photo today. Sick child needs to stay home.

Sick child has fabulous idea though! You can earn
FIVE big points simply by choosing a Domo photo
from the past, going to that location, and taking
a photograph there of anything that belongs to you
(such as a stuffed animal, an action figure, a glove, a
noodle bowl, a dog biscuit, a digital clock, your
favorite board game, etc.) Post the photo on your
blog and comment here. Everyone who does this
gets 5 points!

Limit one entry per person.
Deadline is Monday September 8th at midnight.

Melissa gets 2 points for guessing yesterday's place!

Update on Brave Domo

Brave Domo has safely arrived to his new home.
He is happy and well, and especially happy with
his new best friend Pixie. Jessica says, "Pixie is
psychotically in love with Domo. She won't
let him out of her mouth."

Check out these adorable photos of Brave Domo
and Pixie...

My daughter thinks there is mouth to mouth resuscitation going
on here, but I think it is a big sloppy kiss!


They look so much alike!


Aw, just look how proud Pixie is... and the big smile on
Brave Domo's face!

Day 4

I think this is a really hard one.... maybe someone will
recognize those dots. Guess it correctly for 2 points!

Day 1

Here we go again! Brave Domo is boxed
and will be sent to his new home this afternoon.
Paranoid Domo and Ecstatic Domo are now up
for adoption. The person who collects the most
points will get to choose which Domo they want
and the person with the second highest points
gets the other Domo!

Here is the picture for Day 1:

The first person to correctly guess where Ecstatic Domo
is earns one point!

Hello and Goodbye

Goodbye summer vacation.
Goodbye laziness.
Goodbye warm nights.
Goodbye long days.

Hello alarm clock.
Hello schedule.
Hello me time.

Goodbye my little girl.
Goodbye play dates.
Goodbye volunteering at school.
Goodbye to being wanted 24/7.
Goodbye short leash.

Hello big girl.
Hello textbooks.
Hello boys.
Hello hormones.
Hello to finding me again.

Goodbye K.
Goodbye to the incredible passion we shared.
Goodbye love.
Goodbye friendship.
Goodbye to the agony of never knowing where I stand.

Hello to whatever starts to fill the massive hole left
in my heart.
Hello to no more disappointments.

Goodbye Brave Domo. You are being shipped to
Jessica today. I know she will take good care of
you.


Hello Paranoid Domo.
Hello Ecstatic Domo.

Sincerely,
Claire

P.S. I don't know why clicking on the goodbyes and hellos above
takes you to the picture of domo in the box. It wasn't supposed
to be that way.... and I can't seem to fix it.

Hiatus

With school starting in one week, we are insanely
busy trying to get in all the last minute summer
fun. We are taking a short break, but will be back
in about a week!

And the winner is....

JESSICA!

Congratulations Jessica! I am looking
forward to meeting you and Pixie!

Love,
Brave Domo

BTW, the answer to today's photo is San
Felipe on Mikwaukie Ave in the Sellwood
neighborhood.

Brave Domo's last day!!!

Here it is! The very last photo before my adoption!



If anyone guesses it correctly, they will earn one point for today (important
for Jessica and Melissa), AND 2 points for the next contest (important for
everyone!)

Contest for me, Brave Domo, ends tonight at 10:00.

Thanks for playing! Check back tomorrow to see which Domos will be
up for adoption next.

Great News!

I got the computer back today and they recovered
all my photos! I'm so happy!

There are thousands and thousands I have to go
through though.... which is what I will probably
be doing the rest of today. I will find the last
Brave Domo photo sometime today probably,
but since it's already late in the afternoon, I'll post
it tomorrow morning.

Lost photos?

So, um, I think I may have lost all my photos.

No, I didn't have them backed up. Why? Because
I'm an idiot and I obviously don't learn from my
mistakes!

Brave Domo's last day is going to be delayed. I'm
taking the puter in tomorrow and who knows how
long it will be gone.

WE WILL BE BACK!

If you have any extra good luck wishes, send them
my way please,
Claire (Domos foster mom)

Last day for Brave Domo

Oh dear, the computer is not cooperating. I can't
get today's picture exported! Arg! I will try to
figure it out in a bit....

Points

Melissa earns a point for guessing OMSI.

Tomorrow is the last day to earn a point. Don't
feel bad if you don't get to adopt me. There are
FIVE other Domos to adopt! And next, there
will be two Domos up for adoption. The top
point earner will get to choose which Domo
they want, and the runner-up will get the other
Domo!

(Tomorrow's final Brave Domo Photo is going to
be extra hard!)

Day 20

Ah, my head! It got stuck.

Where am I?

Day 19

My foster family has been complaining
about my (and the other Domos) farting.
They say things like, "It's loud and wakes
us up at night", and "It leaves an unpleasant,
lingering odor". So... we've been given
farting boxes. These boxes will help
muffle the sound, and contain the odor.

We think our farting boxes are incredibly
boring. Brown walls = yawn. We have
been so busy all day today decorating our
boxes that we haven't left the house to take
a "Where am I?" photo.

My apologies. You can still earn points
though. Just tell me your favorite place(s)
in Portland to shop, and why you like
shopping there. Tell me about 1 place
and earn 1 point. Tell me about 2
places and earn 2 points.

Here's a photo from before the decorating
started:

Mwah-ha-ha, you'll never guess this one!

Zipits

Love 'em!

They come in blind boxes, which makes them even more
fun. They're all super cute, so you never get a bad one.
They feel good. I enjoyed feeling them in my hand until
my daughter stole them from me.

NEED MORE!!! ***MUST. HAVE. MORE.***

(Get them at Missing Link for $3.00 each.)

you. Creativity and exaggeration are encouraged
but not required.

Guess where I am and earn 1 point!

Keep the funny stories coming (see Day 9).

Day 9 - FREE POINTS!!!

Because I am grounded and in need of entertainment,
all you have to do today for points is tell me a funny
story. It can be anything at all. You'll get one point!
Entries received before midnight will be considered
for the grand prize. The grand prize is 4 points! The
winner's name will be posted tomorrow.

Naughtiness

Hi, I'm Claire and I am the Domo's foster mom. Last
night the Domos were invited to a party at the Ugly's
house. I thought The Uglies were a good group, but
after picking up the Domos this morning and viewing
the photos that were taken during the party, I have
decided there will be no more unchaperoned parties
with those Uglies.

The Domos aren't telling me much, but I think the
photos paint a pretty good picture.

It appears that things started well.

They kicked the ball around a bit...

They rode the pony...

They played Twister...

They played dress-up...

Kooky Domo and Ugly Deer pretended to be in a pumpkin
patch...

Ecstatic Domo played Sailor...

Brave Domo hung out with the sporty Uglies.

Cuddly Domo had fun making everyone laugh with the groovy
glasses he found...
Here's a nice group photo...

And then they ate cake...
and everyone went crazy.

Brave Domo got on top of the disco ball...

(There's a fine line between "brave" and "stupid".)

Paranoid Domo stuck his hand in a rattlesnake's mouth...

Geez Paranoid, are you trying to give your poor foster mom a
heart attack?

Timid Domo...

I don't even want to know.

Cuddly Domo...

Maybe not the best creature to be getting cuddly with.

Kooky Domo...
Getting close to those two was definitely a kooky thing to do. The
tiger's face has "Yum, Kooky looks tasty!" written all over it.

And Ecstatic Domo...

What the??? Just the look on Ecstatic's face is enough to
tell me he was up to no good.

When I picked them up this morning, I found Timid Domo
crashed in the front yard, wearing a sea urchin...

I don't know how many times I've told them not to play
with sea urchins.

Paranoid Domo was tied up at the curb...

He claims he does not know how he got there.


As for the other four, I will not even tell you where I
found them. It's too upsetting to write about it.

All the Domo's are grounded today. They are all crashed
on my bed right now. The cat is keeping an eye on them.
