My Chaotic Realm

well, Tara has relieved our concerns about using the bathroom... sigh Kept taking her for walks yesterday & last night but no potty action. Tara apparently was finally relaxed enough to potty... peed twice & loose stool in 2 different places in library so I have spent last hour cleaning carpet in there, then closed off all rooms On the good side, however, she speaks CAT and gives them wide berth ... even Abigale can't seem to find too much to fuss about :-). She is adapting well to being inside, climbing porch steps, laying on HER bed (not on couch) and she is eating, drinking, well-behaved around yesterday's art folk. Our only OUTDOOR issue is that she has found a low spot in fence to exit yard. Bud is apparently too large to use that spot... Tara is not... bigger sigh...So now I head off to repair fenceline, right after I feed the other 15 beings that live here...

tonight we travel to Bandera Texas, Cowboy Capital of the World (I kid you not) to go adopt a lovely friend for our grandpuppy!! We are so excited. She was 'tutored' this week and will be ready to come to her new home tomorrow. Tara was found as a stray. She appears about 2 years old and weighs in at a healthy 60 lbs. She is very sweet girl and loves to wag her butt for attention like boxers do. She is a Boxer-pit mix, which should go well with our mastiff-pit mix. Sad Part now... CCPAL has lost their grant and will be closing the end of this year, allowing a "Kill Shelter" (how do those two words even GO together?!?) to take over the space. At last count there were still 46 cats & a dozen or so dogs needing homes... Please help if you can! Adopt, Foster, donate to your local shelter...something!! Otherwise, these & many more around the state will face the needle....
