Barli and Tiki enjoyed a fun outing earlier this week: a visit to the Austin stop of FIDO Friendly’s Get Your Licks on Route 66 adoption tour! As you know, for the past several years we’ve written the “Bowser on a Budget” column for FIDO Friendly so it was extra fun to welcome publisher Susan …
It’s hard to believe, but 10 years ago today we adopted Tiki at what is now Texas Humane Heroes! Tiki had been found by shelter staff when they arrived at work one morning; she was just sitting at the entrance gate. A bout with kennel cough meant her stay at the shelter extended for a …
I’ve been out this week; we took a three-night trip to Port Aransas with Barli and Tiki! This was our first time back since Hurricane Harvey–and our first time with Barli. He’s traveled to Port Lavaca and Magnolia Beach (on Matagorda Bay) several times but this was his first time out on Mustang Island. Although …
We hope everyone had a joyous Mother’s Day weekend. Today marked TWO MONTHS since Barli’s adoption so we had an extra reason to celebrate.

It’s bluebonnet season in Central Texas! Snapping a photo in the fragrant fields is a Texas tradition–and one that includes ALL the members of the family, both two- and four-legged. Getting a classic bluebonnet shot means photographing your dog either in the middle of, in front of, or behind a bluebonnet field… Cloudy days are …
We hope that all who were celebrating today enjoyed a good holiday! This was Bärli‘s first holiday with us so it was extra special to have a fun Easter egg hunt for him today (actually he and Tiki hunted Wellness CORE 100% Freeze-Dried Treats!) Both Tiki and Bärli were so good about working together to …
I am so happy to report that Bärli has had such a good first week since his adoption! He is such a happy little boy and loves exploring… He’s quickly learning that the cats are his friends (Jetty now races up to him to bump noses every time Bärli walks inside!), and he looks up to his …
