    Herding Cats!!!!!!

    I found out the hard way how difficult, if not impossible, it is to get cats to go where you want them. I feed my 3 outside dawgs and put down food for three outside cats we share with my wife’s sister and brother-in-law before I go to work every morning. As some of you know we live in the...

    Bubba Update!!!

    Ok, I had my second Echo since my OHS. First, the good news. The Mitral Valve Repair is doing just great. The second replacement lead (remember, they left the OLD ONE in there too) for my Defibulator doesn?t seem to be causing any problems. I?ve got some regurge but she felt it was probably...

    In honor of Granbonny?s Birthday today, I would like to relate our first meeting. For those of you fortunate to have met Bonnie you quickly realized she was not bashful in any way. Being a Georgia Gal there weren?t no handshakes involved when you first met. A good old Georgia Bear Hug was in...

    Where did pets come from?

    A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis (found in central Georgia I think) has provided answers: Adam and Eve said, ?Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to remember how much...
