An Australian at the Alamo

I'm posting some old photos that I should have posted months ago. Here are the pictures from Liz and Harlie's trip to San Antonio this summer. And now they are engaged! Congratulations! We're excited to have you as part of the family, Harlie!

Crazy Dog Lady

It finally happened, it was only a matter of time.... I have become the crazy dog lady. I was driving along US-281, a major San Antonio freeway near our house, when I saw a tiny black dog standing on the median between the freeway and the access road. I knew she wouldn't last long out there, so I stopped to pick her up. By the time I could turn around and get back to the spot, she'd crossed the access road over to a Waterburger, where she stood in the drive-through lane, perhaps hoping for a dropped fry. No tags, no collar and no one claimed her, so Winnie is now our third dog. The vet says she's about 8 years old, she is super sweet and has developed an obsession with Erick - she follows him around all day.

Zoey and Winnie at meal time. The same thing happens at every meal: Zoey speed eats through her kibble and then sits behind Winnie, staring and hoping Winnie leaves some food behind. So far, no such luck for her.
