We are endeavoring to move forward with the next section of our lives, but for those of you who read this blog with any regularity – or at least as much regularity as I’ve been posting recently – here’s the totally unfair/bad mojo series of events:
Pogo, the big gray dog – lost to cancer in October at the age of 9.
Rox, the little black mop dog – lost to cancer in November at the age of 6.
Maggie, the pack puppy . . .wait for it. . .has to go to the effing doggie E.R. on Thanksgiving!! She managed to impale herself on a stick when we were up in the mountains. She is ok – after a frightening, bumpy drive down gravel roads to find the nearest emergency vet open on Thanksgiving and a lot of stitches.
I mean. . .seriously? By the time Maggie got hurt, I just stopped telling people what was going on, because it’s freaking unbelievable, right?
She is now acting like nothing is wrong (she’s supposed to be on bedrest, but she isn’t into it) and wearing my old IATSE local T-shirts to keep her from licking or chewing. Today she’s an Aerosmith fan.
And now – the newest member of the family: BUSTER!

He is all that his name implies. He is also adorable, and he likes my socks a little too much. He is not helping Maggie remain chill.
I’m in the midst of my second to last round of finals, applying for bar fitness, and all kinds of other nonsense involved in becoming a legal lawyer, and. . .is this a music blog, or what? Yes.
We will be playing Winter Soulstice 2010 on December 11th at 7:30 in the Atlanta Room. Come out hear the good stuff!
