Flashback Friday – Looking Back at 2003

When you are updating a blog, especially a blog that you are “self-hosting,” as opposed to having it on Blogger or WordPress.com, sometimes there are glitches you don’t see right away. That’s what happened to my human yesterday when she went back to look at some earlier posts of mine — and the first six years of blog photos were all missing! For some reason, the guy who did her website last year didn’t move one of the image folders to where it needed to be, but the problem didn’t show up until my human redesigned the blog a couple of weeks ago. After some needless panicking, she fixed it… and just for fun, I thought I would share some old photos with you. They are from the first full year I lived with my human, 2003.

And here is a photo of me, just looking cute. I was a little over a year old in August 2003:
