I'm so sorry. Real life has gotten in the way and, thankfully, my workload tripled instead of going away entirely. We've also seen some frustrating and upsetting delays on the adoption front, causing me to focus on some different stuff for a while. Now that Morrison knows that he is missed he will start putting together a "my summer so far" picture thread that Monroe will proof read and make him post. Thanks for thinking of us! p.s. - Facebook rocks, doesn't it?

DW here... haven't been on in ages but thanks to DH (Monroe Magee) for posting Monroe's birthday pics. It's hard to believe my big guy is already 7 years old. He was so little when we brought him home that day.... sigh.

LOL - wonderful Maghee!

I'm not very fit and I don't bend my knees well, which inhibits my running, but I seem to get by even though Morrison is so much faster than me.

Fantastic pictures! (and MSU students) I especially love the shaky shaky pictures.

This morning, as I was leaving for work, Morrison was watching the front yard. It turns out that Mr. & Mrs. Mallard, that my neighbor feeds, came to visit our yard. Morrison is SUCH a birdy dog! Please forgive the rotten cell phone pic quality.... I still love this pic.

Your news is such a relief! I'm so glad that it has turned out this way and that Andrew is going to share his story.

I stayed up waaay too late last night reading a good book and thought that my morning wasn't going so well. Then Morrison pulled this through-the-window-totally-amazing-looking-dog point that I got a bad picture of (see photo thread) that cheered me up. Tonight, just me and the rest of that book. Just a day of work to get through.

Last night DH was flying home and the airplane had the "back of the headrest" screens. This big, tough, guy was sitting next to DH, who was reading, and watching Marley& Me on the video. DH had already seen the movie but got choked up a bit just seeing parts of it again. He also pulled some tissues out for his tough-guy neighbor at the exact moment the guy started crying.

Run Free Maxi! Go find Bonnie, the Black Lab, and she'll show you the labby ropes and the big basket of tennis balls to run and fetch as much as you want.
