Time to Catch Up

I am way behind in posting to the Blog. To all my fans, I'm Sorry (Ha-Ha). I will start with current events and work backwards in time.


First and foremost, I am very disappointed in the 100 million voters at American Idol. The winner was picked last night and it was Kris ...? He so impressed me that I can't remember his last name.


After my favorite (Alexis) was voted off, I thought Allison was the next best choice. She was only 16 but she could really sing.

Then she was voted off. I finally decided Adam was the best vocalist and very creative in his rendition of songs, especially Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire.




It was between Adam and Kris and all the yahoos out in La-La land voted for Kris. What a Bummer!!




A few weeks ago Mary (the original owner of Max) came for a visit with Tyler and Katie. We all (including the dogs) enjoyed the visit. However, when they left Max stood at the door crying. I don't think I will let them visit again because it is upsetting and confusing for Max. After all, they gave him up.

Here is a link to view the pictures. Select Album and then slide show to watch the pictures full size.

Last Saturday I had a Coast Guard Auxiliary public affairs event with Lights Out at the Guntersville City dock. It was for the local folks to meet the people on the water that provide safety and rescue services. Besides the Auxiliary, we had representation from the Alabama Marine Patrol, Rescue Squad, Fire department, Police Department and other services. I took Buddy and Max and also represented Safe Haven No Kill Animal shelter (where I adopted Buddy). Safe Haven is trying to raise funds to help pay for food, medial and shelter for animals they rescue.



Took Buddy and Max to vet to get shots and Buddy weighed in at 77.8 pounds and Max was 59 pounds. The dogs were pretty rowdy at the Vets and they recommended obedience class for them.

I found a place and we are doing sessions every Monday evening for 6-weeks.

HEY, I'm a "South Paw" too.

Buddy and Max are getting along real good now and like to play together. Here are a few photos of them playing.

I guess that's playing!! After play time they rest together.

I have a Coast Guard Auxiliary patrol with Lights Out Saturday morning since it is the kickoff for Memorial Day. We will patrol down to the dam and back as well as check marker buoys for condition and location along the way.

Please take a few minutes Monday to honor our military veterans who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
