Welcome to my world, or
rather my site. Am Larry from North Canton, Ohio (formerly
called New Berlin, but underwent a name change during World War
II). This site will give you a little (very little) insight into my
life. And maybe give you a laugh or two.
Mom, on a carousel horse, is now gone - December 4, 2008. You never realize how much someone does or means until they are no longer around.
The site was easy to create and is hosted by config.com internet
services out of Ravenna, Ohio (www.config.com) For photos,
see Galleries; for laughs, see The Light Side. Even have a
guest book - how common.
The picture with the Pepsi was taken at Vaughan's Pub in Bolivar, Ohio in March of 2009. The other pic with Kimmie was taken April 21, 2007 at the Iron Pony
Saloon in Lakeville, Ohio. This favorite haunt is also the playing
ground for "Blackout Rock 'N' Roll" band, which I do videos for - you
can see the videos at the URL below.
There are also pics there too of the band in "concert". Behind me is
Kim, a follower of Blackout, and a foxie lady. (www.myspace.com/blackoutrocknroll) Blackout can also be seen on www.youtube.com/blackoutrocknroll Another band to follow is BENT and can be found at www.myspace.com/bentrockandroll or www.youtube.com/werebent. Blackout has ten DVDs out that have been produced by PYEcom Home Video, one even won the Communicator Awards Award of Excellence, while a second won a Silver Telly, and more have won other awards.
The dvd is
called BLACKOUT: Underground and Uncensored. A new additional was added to the household -
Chrissy. She is now a four year old female German Shepherd, that
was abandoned at the Columbiana County Humane Society. The
people gave no details, nor name, so she was named Chrissy, for the
time of year. Set to be euthenized, she was sponsored,
then we adopted her on December 30, 2006
She is a small female, but was right for Mom
She used to rarely bark or growl, except for certain "sales people" that come
to the door. Lately she is barking and even growling at friends until
she gets to know them. But then she is a
"watchdog". She has met a male German Shepherd called "Deuce". She barks at him a lot - and I told her that a male chases a female until she catches him. She doesn't listen.
She has become very playful and has adjusted well to her new home,
Mom, and especially me. She can be seen in Gallery 9 and 12.
Mom, on February 3, spent her first night with Chrissy without me being
around. I came home to find a large bag of fur, brushed
from Chrissy. Mom is walking more, talking better after the
stroke, and having a blast with her new "grand-daughter".
Chrissy sleeps in her room til I go to bed, then she sleeps with me -
get your minds out of the gutter (that goes for you Justin and
Kaw-Liga). As verified by photo IMG-7008, she likes to tug
and play rough, with me, but she never has hurt either of us. She certainly misses Mom, and often whines and lays at the foot of her bed.
She now is used to the invisible fence and has been good at not crossing
over it. Although she did get zapped chasing a rabbit and
a squirrel. She is great at keeping one neighbors unwanted mutt from doing
its business in the yard (I have enough to clean up)., but barks at the
"furball" across the street. When the "furball" crossed the street and invaded the yard, Chrissy defended the property - much to the dismay of the owner (no leash, no restraints). She shook the invader like a rag doll. She loves the snow, and deep snow too - as long as she does not have to shovel it. Recently, the Saturday before Easter 09, she found four baby bunnies - two were dead, and the other two she tried to bring into the house - live and well. The bunnies, however, did not live long. She did have a litter - perhaps she felt she was a better mother.
Thanks to the couple that gave her up. She is a
wonderful companion and member of the family. And thanks to Tari
Kridler for responding to my email and letting us adopt
her. Tari can be reached at www.kridlersgermanshepherds.com
