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 […]

Madison visits with Kay, Stimpy and Little Bit at the Tybee Island Dog Park, December 2007. Tybee Island, Ga. — Stimpy had a pretty restful night but he chased rabbits most of the evening.

Stimpy sporting his shaved leg and at rest on his rug at Tybee Island. Tybee Island., Ga. — I broke down and went with Kay to pick up Stimpy from having his biopsy. I am glad that I did. The folks at the Greater Savannah Animal Hospital could not have been nicer or more courteous […]

Tybee Island, GA — My heart aches so much today. Most of you know if you have read this blog in the past, that Stimpy, my wolf/husky mix and I are tightly bonded. And most of you know that I am a pragmatic and realize as my dear friend Bert told me many years ago […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — It is cold and blustery at the beach today. I couldn’t be any happier. Only the tried and true will remain here over the next few days and then we will be back amongst the natives and the true beach lovers. Such weather tends to lead me to observe and think. […]
