1 year old sister dogs need new home

Submitted By: Firemountainschool@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Loving home needed for two sister dogs, about one year old. Great Pyrenees mix (we think). Super friendly, good with other dogs and kids. They do jump up so they will require some training. They’re super sweet and would love a home where they can get lots of exercise and access to the outdoors.

They were abandoned by a renter in our neighborhood and deserve better.
Free to a good home.

Please reach out with questions or for more pictures and videos. 503-545-9566

Dance Etiquette/Tips:
*All are welcome – Family friendly events – Come as you are~ No dance experience needed. 
*Dance connections are an option, be clear with your yes or no, verbal or nonverbal.
*Flow toys are welcome!
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)
*Please no strong scents, including body odor.
*Incense, we’ll keep it in the foyer.
*We ask that you limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.

We dance every Thursday evening and second Sunday morning—hope to dance with you soon!

Tax information coming soon

I must admit, when I see a post from a certain Dixie, I prepare to be entertained with some wild story of a conspiracy, or some other disinformation. But reading her post this weekend, including her fear of being taxed out of her home due to the rampant increases in property taxes “far above the normal rate,” another thought came to mind.
It’s easy to forget about increases in Social Security of 5.9% in 2021, 8.7% in 2022, or 3.2% in 2023, and focus on the (maximum 3%) increase we see on our property taxes.
What I saw when I read this post is an opportunity:
Two candidates have filed to be elected as the next Tillamook County Assessor. How about asking them to provide an explanation of how property taxes are assessed, including the difference between assessed vs market value, and how the budgets of our various taxing districts are affected by property taxes as inflation is high or low?
I have reached out to each of the candidates, and asked them to provide a short (max. 2000 characters) explanation that I will share with the BBQ community once I receive them. Hopefully we’ll be able to read their explanations next weekend, and start to see how each of them communicate with us.

The community did it . The balance is now clear.
May it be known that Doctor Matt Didlake will continue to help those in hard time
Witnessing this last Friday when delivering January hair cut donations there was a gentle man and his awesome dog both homeless in the waiting room
We knew the pooch would be taken care of .
Today enquiring about the pair it was shared that Dr. Matt had paid for a place for them to stay.
and that it was not the first time he did this.
Let this slip into our hearts
