We'd be remiss if we didn't make mention of our good old dog Boomer early on in our blog. Boomer is our Irish Setter and we've now had him for over a year and 1/2. Like anyone who has a dog, they become part of the family and you can't imagine life without them! He was a rescue and my parents were fostering him for a day when we went to their house and first saw him. Greg jokes that it was all a "set up" for us to get a dog, but he was more convinced right away than even me that we had to take him!Boomer is so quirky and fun - he loves putting his rear end up on the couch (he's not allowed on the furniture, but somehow we make an exception when he "sits" down on the couch like us). He loves going to the dog park (Otto Armleder is his favorite!), loves walks anywhere and everywhere, tries to be king of the backyard by chasing after squirrels/rabbits/birds - although thankfully hasn't caught one yet, and is just the best dog ever. He loves playing with his cousins Bailey (Sean & Meghan's lab) and Harley (Mom & Pop Bea's Setter)...and also enjoys runs with Uncle Dave. When Dave takes him on a run, Boomer knows he gets to go at "lightning speed" and really gets his work out. Usually after one of those runs Boomer can be found curled up for hours on his dog bed.
Here are a few pics of Boomer - he'd be happy to know he's getting his 5 minutes of fame in the blogging world...
Boomer and Greg - comfortable on the couch. And there's Boomer our faithful watchdog.
Boomer and his buddy Harley.
His "exhibitionist" pose must be comfortable because he's often in it!
