It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the death of my father,

Philip J. Liston

He left us from his home on Sunday morning July 27, 2008 at 6:56am.

Phil is survived by his dear wife Pat, and his five wonderful children:

Pegeen, Tim, Chris, Shawn, Colin,

and his nine grandchild:

Trevor, Toby, Lauren, Katie, Connor, Delaney, Rhys, Alish, Finn.

My father is a wonderful and caring gentle soul, he was our Lion, and he will be greatly missed.

My Apologies Ladies and Gentlemen

Hello folks, I know it has been quite a while since our last update, and I do apologize for being so lame.
Today finds us in the evening of Saturday July 19, 2008, hope everyone is well. Not much new to report other than alot going on that prevents the LI from posting.

The weedeater and the chain saw both have the pull start cords not retracting, so if anyone knows how to wind them back up, please leave detailed instructions in the comments section, it would be much appreciated.

It rained today.

She's still looking for a home....

An update on Dak....
We've had her for almost two weeks now. We took her to the Vet last Monday to get her spayed. As it turns out, she was so neglected, that her eyes were almost completely swollen shut due to an eye infection. Her corneas were completely covered in ulcers and the bottoms of her eyelids had begun to turn under and began to grow into her eyes (from squinting for so long). A $12 antibiotic eye cream is all it would have taken to clear the infection and to save her from what the Vet described as probably at least a year of suffering and would have ultimately resulted in total blindness. So now, she's had the antibiotics, and while she was "under" from the spay surgery, they took a small portion of her lower eyelid out. Today, two weeks later, her eyes are wide open and she's probably seeing the world for the first time in a long time.

She has an exceptional temperament and really needs an exceptional home. She mostly just wants attention and to be near people. She was carefree when it came to our cats, or the geese, or even the other dogs. We're still looking for the right place for her. Please help us pass the word.
