This is Boo.  Boo is a Pomeranian dog with a haircut.  After looking at the pictures, it probably won't surprise you that a lot of people consider Boo to be the world's cutest dog.  Doesn't he look like a teddy bear?

A Conglomeration of Random Pictures

  Since we haven't gone on any big trips or anything like that very recently, I am going to put together some random pictures.  Many of them were taken before I started this blog.  Enjoy.
