A tropical storm had made landfall in the gulf with 60 mph winds. It was disappointing because we have in the past had storms blow through here easily with 70 mph winds so we all knew, a hurricane it was not going to be. It just wasnt strong enough to bring anything inland. What it …

104 * F
For the past couple of days it has been extremely hazy. The air has been especially thick and humid. It is hard to see past 100 ft and everything looks as if it is concealed in gray fog. I suspect we are being visited by some of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada that …
Two Dogs, a Sick Chicken, and a Tornado Watch
We are in the middle of a tornado watch tracking a thunderstorm due to arrive within the hour. I have moved the car underneath the big cedar tree that holds the laundry line in anticipation of predicted hail. The thunder is creeping closer over the hills and the dogs are getting restless as the distant …

Why Cashew Doesnt Come to Work with me:
Because it is my job to rehabilitate patients when i am on the clock. My company does not pay me to train my dog. For me this is a no brainer. Training a dog is a very focused activity. You have to tune into the way in which your animal is thinking….their motivating factors, their …
A Season of Puppies
I believe that my dogs’ unfortunate contraction of distemper had an unexpected helpful side effect. The dirt in the dog run and surfaces in the house are now contaminated and will be for the next year. We could not have another dog here if we wanted to. This is good because, im living in a …

Driving through Sisterdale
They were paving i-10 in Boerne. All the exits were blocked. Traffic was backed up throughout the whole city. There was a line of 40 tar trucks all just sitting on the highway waiting and there was this bull dozer thing going around and oscillating the tar a bit in each truck trying to keep …
Sili and Cashew
i’ve been putting off writing about Sili and Cashew’s illness because it is still very raw. I began transitioning them back onto dry food last night and they’ve only been allowed outside for four days now. They’ve been off the coconut oil and pumpkin for two days. In my mind i don’t think i’ve yet …
Prayer Request
My two sweet dogs are fighting for their lives right now. Cashew is doing better than Sili but they’re both pretty sick. I will do a full post about the last 3 weeks at a later date in time but for now please keep Cashew and Sili in your prayers. Please pray for them to …
Surprise Winter
So, after we were visited by an arctic storm the weatherman actually said on television, “Folks it looks like that will be it for the winter weather. We’re going to have a very mild rest of the season with warm temperatures expected through to spring.” Winter having just begun, i thought their statement might have …
