It is with very heavy heart that I have to tell you that our dear boy Booker died today. He was diagnosed as having cancer that was putting so much pressure on his body that he couldn’t breathe. We did the only thing that seemed to be right by him and let him go peacefully. We got Booker the day before Beth and I really started our journey together and he has been a central part of our lives ever since.
We love you boy.

Sometime in the last month, I made stir fry for supper. This is not uncommon in our house. We usually have some kind of stir fry once every week or so. On this particular night, E was not impressed by my efforts. He took a few bites and said, oh-so-seriously, ‘Mom, I think I’m allergic to stir fry.’
This photo is of the poor Bookerdog stuck in his crate after what appears to be a partial tear of a knee ligament on his left hind. Just spending a morning chasing his kong in the yard, and he ends up with 3 weeks of crate rest.
Get better soon BD!
Well, that was pretty quick. We’re now live on bookerdog.com with WordPress, PHP, and mySQL. Kinda crazy how easy this was. I didn’t break the pictures in the blog posts, yet.
I’ll be getting the rest of our old pictures reloaded in these cool galleries. In the mean time, you can see the stuff we have on Facebook.
So I’ve been working with moving everything to WordPress, and that’s what you’re seeing here. I’m kinda freaked out by how easy it was to create this thing and import all the old Blogger content. As I get ready to move it, I need make sure that I don’t break the links to the old photos. But once I do that, I think we’ll be on our way.
So I’ve been dealing with trying to get all of the archives working. And everything except the main archive page has republished. Blogger claims that one possibility to fix this is to upload a new post. So here you go.
Just to make it worthwhile, here’s a picture of Beth after she finished her half marathon.
Booker digs our shag, man

Spiffy!
How cool is this new layout? Tim surprised me tonight with the new digs here at bookerdog.com… Thanks, baby!
OK, so, some highlights. You’ll notice Tim’s and my Twitter Updates at right. If you don’t know about Twitter, you have to check it out, friends! I want to know what’s going on with you — 180 characters or less at a time! Just think: you might actually use a couple of those 100s of text messages you’re allowed a month!
You’ll also find some updated links on the right. I highly recommend the unbelievable insights of my friend JT at his fantastic site, The Sauerbrun Report.
So no more clicking on this site with that look of yearning like Bookerdog up there, OK? We’re back!
Waiting boys

I know! It’s been too long! Sorry about that.
No real excuse except that it was summer and we were busy. And busy-ness does not make for many interesting stories. But! As you can see above, we have a kindergartener now!
I’m really kinda jazzed about starting to post again, though. Tim has a fun new masthead designed and I’ve got all kinds of crazy ideas for the site. Let’s see how long it takes to get them going — start your stopwatches! They keep going for, oh, about 2 years, right?
There’s no doubt that this place is getting pretty dusty. I mean, Coco’s eyes (RIP, my sista) are stiill over there, Elliott’s eyes have never made it, and I swear that you can tell Tim’s and my eyes are fat eyes. I still use the links on the right way too much — I should probably branch out to other sites. But then, hey! Miss Doxie is posting again! Hooray!
