Into the Fire

It is an understatement to say that Central Texas has been devastated by fires this week.  At this moment, a fire in Bastrop County (east of Austin) has consumed nearly 30,000 acres and 500 homes, and remains zero percent contained by heroic firefighters from all across the region.  A fire destroyed dozens of homes in the Northwest Austin neighborhood of Steiner Ranch. Multiple fires are reported north of Austin and in Dripping Springs (south of Austin).  It seems like fire is everywhere around us at the moment; there are literally scorched areas all along the highway as close as a quarter mile from my house...

PUGSLEY Needs a Loving Forever Home

Hi, my name is Pugsley. I've kept my momma's lap warm during the day and her neck warm every night for the past eight years. Last night she got to feeling cold to me.

The kids took me to her friend Mark who I know and he is really scary. He gets horribly mad about things like this and shoots his big pistol at the stars. He yells and cusses words I never heard before but says it calms him down.

I'm now I'm at a strange place with lots of dogs. They all seem happy but I'm still so scared.

I just pray someone will please let me keep them warm at night for all the years I have left.

Please contact Mark so he can get me to you and he can settle down.
