O.K. to those of you — even in Texas, this isn’t much to shout about. Not even enough for a snow angel. But, it was enough to be pretty and crunch under my feet. And enough to work from home and take breaks to offer liquid water and seeds to the birdies throughout the day. Six inches would have been nicer…

VIOLET |
You surround yourself with art and music and are constantly driven to express yourself. You often daydream. You prefer honesty in your relationships and believe strongly in your personal morals.
Don’t you wish you had one?

What is it? A bad fix for bad construction errors in my house. A working dryer vent.
Kudos to Davidson and Kidd

This young couple that left San Antonio as soon as they could get back to their beloved Northeast didn’t leave behind the deplorable state of unwanted pets here. They are returning to save them one van load at a time. When I read about their efforts it made me cry. Really awesome work.
Alexi Has a New Home

Today I saw Alexi in her new home and she is happy and well-loved. What more could I ask for? So I am over the tears, well mostly.
Thank you Tracey, Ron and Ella for being the forever family that Alexi deserves!
Gracie is still with us

…and now we are four. I can’t believe I am trying to care for 2 dogs, 1 puppy and almost 2 acres of property and a house. I am not doing any of it well. But I am trying my best.
The puppy is happy if not healthy. She has tape worms and mange. All of the dogs are being treated for both. To watch Gracie and Alexi (beagle mix puppy) play is a joy to behold. The newest game is puppy hiding under the bed and biting out at Gracie — both are very vocal. Petey and I are used to a quiet life, so vocalizations are new.
And it is August, so it is hot. Could be worse hot, but nonetheless, hot.

It’s a squash! Somehow it started growing in the middle and continues to grow… Very odd.
All is Fine

There were lots of things I was thinking of doing today. Go to Ft. Sam and put flowers on dad’s grave, enjoy the dog show, plant at the subdivision entrance. The problem with being creative is that you can think of so many things to do with your time and they don’t all fit in a day. And so after 3 1/2 hours at the Animal Hospital last night we are at home doing not much.
Petey came in on 3 legs after his last trip outside and so I thought the worst, snake bite, so we hustled down to the hospital. By the time we got there, he was putting some weight on the foot and there was no swelling. Whew. After a baking soda poultice for 20 minutes he was better. We came home and he took two Benadryl. One too many, I think. Today he is really out of it. Gracie is still with us and in doggie day camp today. My instructions were, “Please wear her out.”
House Grew Very Large

Who knew a lttle four-footed creature could so fill up a house? Yes, Gracie is still here. Petey is in his forth day of incarceration. Daily visits seem to calm him, but no touching allowed. Four more days…
Good Night, Gracie
