    Rascal is now a legitimate puppy-child!

    Yup, his "parents" finally got married!

    We don't have most of the pictures back from the photographer yet, but here is one photo of me. (I know we're not allowed to post this kind of news without photos ;))

    Sadly, Rascal was not our ring bearer (though I cannot TELL you how many people asked why he wasn't there!), but he did have a nice time at his puppy boarding "camp." I think we were all much happier that way. He would have flipped his little fluffy lid to be surrounded by that many people wearing weird clothes

    Anyways, just wanted to drop by and say "hi" and offer some explanation for our recent disappearance ;) The last few months have been CRAZY, with some really big/awful work deadlines (dissertation proposal, and others) plus the wedding stuff. Ick.

    Hope you all have been doing well! Miss you guys!

    Congratulations, Courtney!  How exciting -- no wonder we've not seen you here for a while.  Sounds like you've been busy with lots of important activities!

    That photo is just beautiful.  What a gorgeous location!  Is it in some kind of special garden?  It looks like an ancient corridor on a grand estate somewhere.  Really pretty.  I hope you had a very special, memorable day -- and a fun honeymoon, if you were able to get away.

    Best wishes to both of you, and we'd love to see a few more photos when you've got them!

    Beautiful picture!  I saw some of the others you shared on FB and you were a beautiful bride.  :) 

     I bet Rascal was happy to see you when you got home. Big Smile

     Courtney that is awesome.  What a gorgeous photo!!   And .. Rascal ... keep training the humans.  They're starting to get it right ... but hey .. .what's this about planning something     they knew you wouldn't like?? I mean ... are they for real????  sometimes humans are just plain puzzling!!

    Thanks, everyone! Yeah, Rascal was NOT amused with the whole "planning" (as in, "spending time doing things other than prioritizing the dog";) business. But he's seriously the post-honeymoon dog spoiling, so I guess it's all good. Happy to see you guys, both newbies and familiar faces (human and otherwise!).
