I'm baaaaack!

So sorry, blogosphere, for my absence of over a year. Gasp! I have been wanting to write a really GREAT post about our goings on, where I've grown, etc. but the burden is just too large. So, today I'm just saying "hi" to break the silence. So there, I did it.

Coop

Coop on his first night at home!

So meet the newest Rogers. His name is Cooper, or "Coop", and we got him about 4 months ago. He is a product of the Memphis Animal Shelter, found in an abandoned shed, and is some mix possibly of a beagle, German shepherd, and maybe some pit bull (there has yet to be a DNA test performed). Obviously, he was quite malnourished and we found out two days after we brought him home that he was sick, possibly a virus brought on by neutering him while he was so skinny. He also came down with pneumonia and we were not sure he was going to live. But after a few days at the vet, he rebounded and eventually got over the pneumonia. We thought he was just a calm puppy, but no, he was just sick. And now, after a month at the Rogers' home, this is what he looks like, happy and healthy. Perhaps too healthy.At the lake a week or so after his adoption.....

And just last week....

Berry Season

The other morning I was inspired by sweet Jillian to make some delicious muffins. One of the many things I miss about Oxford is Bottle Tree Bakery, and these bad boys were made using their recipe. I shared these with our neighbors and I think they liked them too!
I wish there was some way to share this deliciousness over the web, but pics are all I can provide. Cheers!
