On Tuesday, December 24, 2024. Christmas Eve, Biggie made his final trip to the vet. On Monday, December 23rd, Biggie suffered a stroke, paralyzing one side of his body. He could no longer eat, drink, or walk. We received a phone call early Monday morning from Biggie’s mom letting us know the situation with Biggie, and Rachael, my wife was able to go over to her home to hold and comfort him while Sara, Biggie’s mom, went to her job for a few hours. Tuesday my wife returned to Sara’s home and, along with other members of Sara’s family, they were able to take Biggie on his final ride. Biggie is now permanently in our back yard in a place selected for him some time ago. Biggie was just a few weeks short of his 19th birthday. We were blessed to have had him for most of those years.
I realize it has been many months since I last posted anything, and that is entirely my fault. As many already know, I am not well. Chronic back pain, vertigo, and a constant shaking due to essential tremors and/or Parkinson’s form the basis of my many problems. Add to that a few other old man problems, and…well, you get the idea. Then when we lost Biggie, I just descended into a depression the like of which I have not experienced in about 50 years. To top it off, both of my laptop computers, just quit on me. Needless to say, the last 6 months have been zero fun. But that is now behind me. I hope to do better with my postings, at least for a while.
The Feed is just a few long months away now. This year is will be, once again, the third
Friday in September. The date is
September 19, 2025, and it looks like it will be bigger and better than
ever. I can’t wait. I just hope to be well enough to get there
once again. Ticket sales will be here
very soon (the date and time has not been announced, although I suspect it will
be similar to last year), so I hope you have set your dollars aside, because
the tickets will sell out in just hours.
It feels good to be back at the computer once again. Hopefully these posts will be made without so
much time/space between them.
See you at the Feed!
Meat and Beer!
