Hey it's 4 July next week, please make plans to secure your pets and ensure they have the good drugs as needed and if you don't have a pet consider fostering one for the weekend so they are not housed next to Austin's fireworks launch site, which APA dogs currently are.

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.

Y’all- if the CDS drops a cat in your lap, please make sure to check local lost pet groups, and get them scanned for a chip. For every owner who just let them wander off, there’s a human desperately trying to get them home. Accidents happen. Cats get out. Collars get lost. Please double check.

Feds have sent mixed messages about Big Bend border wall. These docs show that in Feb. they were trying to access state park land. On March 6, Border Patrol told TPWD that state park land and Big Bend Nat Park are not current priorities. But the official said those sites will be considered later.

Maximum round! Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute) When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold! Cute and convenient! 🪶
