Me with Wuss Dog and Sippi on the twin bed in my tiny apartment in North Augusta, SC.

I went through all of my visual loss and adjustment while living in this tiny apartment in North Augusta, SC.  Both dogs loved to get in the twin bed with me.  There is a Bed Snake Bat hanging on the wall that my friend, Kelly, gave to me.   Back in 1995, I was still sorting out childhood shit and still had an aversion to any Bed Snake breed.  Sippi looks young here.  I used to call him my Big Red Devil.  He was beginning to show me his true personality, specifically his counter surfing persona.

While Jeff and Kristen crused the Carabbean, Theresa drove us with the children out to Fort DeSoto.  Wil tried to feed Brynna; but she flat refused to eat for him.  We figured that Jeff must not have ever tried feeding her; and decided she would only eat for a woman.  Wil had experience with his friend, Johnny;s, children; so that wasn’t the issue.  It was funny to watch Brynna clamp her mouth shut when Wil came anywhere near it with a spoon.

Burning Hot Buffalo Wing Street Wings from Pizza Hut are one in a very small group of hot things that can make Wil sniffle and tear up.  Mom says that Wil burned his ass out from eating all that hot and spicy foods for so many years.  I can’t go past the medium.  I’ll have a case of the burning ass tomorrow; but that’s one thing Wil will never have again thanks to Jake.

We were  driven over the bay to see Lex and Terry and Dee at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.  Lex and Terry did their show live this morning; and will do it again tomorrow morning.  Titan got to see his buddies again; and Max got to meet them for the first time.  We have been Lex and Terry listeners since 95 Rock in Augusta, GA brought them to town in 1998.  We met a couple of the 98 Rock guys this morning; and they seemed pretty cool.  I wore my 95 Rock Lex and Terry shirt; but now that we live here, I need a 98 Rock one.  I hope we go back in the morning because I didn’t get any pictures with Lex in them today.

Our furniture was picked up from the house in Augusta, Georgia on April 11, 2007; and Edward and Nancy drove us down to St Pete.  The boys had a few days to use the whole apartment as their playground as our furniture was to arrive in two more days.  The camera caught the boys’ shadows as they engaged in their favorite game, Bite the Snout.  As long as our boys are together and with us, they don’t care where we take them.

The first day of 2008 was a great one!  The rest of the year was a challenge to say the least.  We brought in 2009 by launching Living on the Edge Radio; and played it safe by hiding in the house all day.  We hope this year brings much better and happier things for us.  BTW; the progression of action in the above photographs was omitted due to the family content of my pure blog (NOT).  Use your imagination.  LOL!!  I hope I didn’t traumatize you for life.

Rehab paid for Wil to take two classes at Freedom Scientific in April of 2005 in hopes that it would boost his potential with training in his own business after his graduation from Augusta Tech.  Mom and Dad drove me and Titan down to visit him over the weekend in between the two classes.  We visited John’s Pass as tourists and ate at the Friendly Fisherman.  Delicious!!!  Little did we know we would be relocating here in the not too distant future.

Max looks utterly exhausted in this picture.  You might think that he and Wil ran a marathon on Friday.  NOT!!!  Both boys did get a good worikout on Friday as we ran all over town; but to see him on the couch, you might wonder otherwise.  That couch is definitely a great sleeper!  And, it is about worn out.

Mississippi (Sippi) cools himself down at the end of the JDRF Walk with the Star League.

For years we participated in the JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes with our Star League group (me and Sippi; and then me and Titan).  The day of this particular walk was hotter than HELL.  There were baby pools filled with ice and bottled water everywhere.  After the walk ended the ice was dumped on the ground.  We had all grabbed a final bottle of water and stodd around shooting the shit while Sippi sauntered into one of the ice piles, dropped his hips down revealing his frog legs, and cooled off his underbelly.  Sippi was such a cool dog!!!
