HJDS – You have had quite an interesting career and a successful business. What do you attribute that to? DrD – Hard work and clean living. Seriously, the hard work is for sure. I believe that you give as much as possible to anything that you are doing and that you should always do it […]

What follows over the next few days is Stempson’s recounting of […]

LAKE BARKLEY ON THE BACK OF EDDY CREEK BAY — It is like spring time here today. The weather is overcast, the temp 61-degrees more like spring than winter. I have been remiss in keeping everyone posted on what is going on because I have been fighting a pretty severe depression since the news about […]

LAKE BARKLEY ON THE BACK OF EDDY CREEK BAY — Cloudy and brisk today here at Lake Barkley. The boys and I got a good walk this morning although I had to drag Little Bit out of bed and Stimpy’s stamina is getting worn I believe. He is sleeping, not complaining and the other two […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — I always hate the day before we pack up to leave the beach. I have to get my mind wrapped around the concept that now I must return to “reality” even though as in all the years past we have worked at least 50% of the time we have been here. […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — When it is cold at the beach trust me it is cold and yet very refreshing. All the ole dogs, myself included, enjoyed the early brisk walk the past two mornings. Although the news of yesterday was saddening to me — there have been two songwriters in my life that I […]

Our continued thanks to all of you for your prayers and best wishes. I am pleased to report today that Stimpy is holding his own. He is still walking daily, somewhat restless at night, sleeping though as soundly and as close to me as he can, and still likes his treats. He has sunned himself […]

Stimpy at rest on our deck at 202 Second Avenue, Tybee Island, Ga. Rescued when he was about a year old from the wilds of the mountains in Oak Ridge, Tenn., Stimpy has been my faithful partner and companion for the past 14-years. He was inadvertently named for the cat in the cartoon series “Ren […]
