BOOMER x 2

One of my sisters got a miniature australian sheepdog. Isn't he cute? His name is Boomer. These pics are from a few weeks back and though I haven't seen him since, I understand he's in an "awkward" phase. Welcome to the club, Boomer!

Even two weeks prior to these pics his legs weren't nearly as long, nor did he has his snout. I hear he is growing out of his puppy fur, but not quite into the fur he'll have. Tricia says he currently just looks a little 'sad' (not downbeat - just pathetic).

But he loves his Uncle Blobby - and really - what more can you ask for?




I guess the other Boomer (and Morty is about to be disappointed to whom I do not reference) is a friend of a friend: Michael Beaumier (yes, who goes by Boomer). Todd (whom I cannot link to here for sooooo many reasons) used to date Boomer whom I think I met once in Chicago. It's all a blur.

Anyhoo.....Boomer, the man, has a book coming out today. I can't recommend it. I cannot not recommend it. I haven't seen it or read it. Apparently it is based largely on his experience as editor of the personal section of the Chicago Reader. Along with his personal relationship and family experiences. (the italicized portion is paraphrased from an email I received from Todd.)

I also seemed to have missed that Boomer, the man, was on This American Life in the last week or two.

Becky - exactly how are you parlaying your way onto Ira Glass' show when your book comes out???

My canine nephew's name is Boomer. He's just as handsome as your nephew! I have pics on my blog of him. I guess all Boomers like gay uncles. :)
