Today was Day One with our new foster. I weighed him before we left - 100 lbs (Last puppy I adopted - 5 lbs)
Below, a pic from our car ride home: he eventually decided to sit on me. Yikes! After dinner, a show and several potty breaks, he sleeps. I think. #dogsofbluesky #mastiff #foster

In two days, I begin fostering a Mastiff/Anatolian Shepherd mix - see pic. He's 15mo, 90 lbs, still underweight, goofy and sweet as can be 🥰
He's why I need info re Texas protective custody cases & canines - I'm his advocate. Help?!?!!!

As I crawled away from a shelter pup to let him sleep (and failed), I remembered doing the same so as NOT to wake a sleeping human baby.
But, I was 25+ years younger 🤷♀️

In other news, we had visitors today - two young bucks sporting their new antlers. Below, a pic of one letting down in the yard.
Watching the changes in our neighborhood herd is calming. Fawns losing spots, new antlers appearing - normal change in my world I appreciate.

In completely different news, Monday I volunteered in our animal shelter's surgery area. Oh my I learned sooo much!
Doing surgery packs was interesting but yes: just helping the staff and our animals was really fun! 🥰

I just checked to see if COVID vaccines were avail at Texas CVS stores. In short, if u don't have a condition that makes a COVID vaccine necessary to prevent serious outcomes, u aren't eligible. Alt text has more.

THC Ban may have finally failed in the Senate.
"No path forward" is the news - see attached from Texas Cannabis Policy Center (and quorum report).
