The BARC Photo Team, the hardest working volunteers I believe I have ever encountered, arrived that Saturday morning. Tom started bringing dogs out, like he does every weekend. He brought us some fantastic dogs - and we have many at BARC. Then he strolled out with a lumbering, gorgeous, hunk of a … [Read more...]

LYRICS LAMENT
Too late, my time has come. Sends shivers down my spine. Body's aching all the time. Goodbye everybody, I've got to go. Gotta leave you all behind the face of truth. I don't want to die. I Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all... I just love that song, Bohemian Rhapsody by Thin Lizzy. Don't … [Read more...]
CANDY IS DANDY BUT LICK ‘ER IS QUICKER
Candy is dandy...Owner surrender at BARC. I know, you're probably wondering why someone would give their dog a stripper's name? I don't know the answer or why she was given up on. Probably the usual: going on vacation, or I moved to an apartment that doesn't allow dogs, or we just had a baby so the … [Read more...]
I AM ESPECIALLY FOND OF YOU
I am especially fond of you. Her name is Valera and yes, that was my favorite line from the movie: The Shack. I was driving to work early one morning with the girls - my two rescue dogs, Medina and L.E. As I passed a Valero gas station right across the street I noticed a skinny, medium sized dog … [Read more...]
GOOD GRIEF!
Good grief! Is grief good? I don't know. But it's certainly in no short supply. Just recently we lost someone who many consider a Houston treasure - former First Lady, Barbara Bush. While many are grief stricken over losing her, she let it be known that she was unafraid to die and would face it … [Read more...]
L-O-L-A LOLA LO LO LO LO LOLA
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy but when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola... Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world except for Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola... I just … [Read more...]
NICE RAK!
Ever heard anyone walk up to a total stranger and say "Nice Rak?" Well, it's Valentine's Day. V-Day. The holiest day of the year. You get the idea. The other day, I was speaking to an old friend and she told me she was super busy, had a lot of things going on, and having a lot of personal issues … [Read more...]
HERO NEEDED FAITH
His name is Hero. We lucked upon him while taking photos for BARC. We do this every week to update their intake mugshots, which are pretty lacking when it comes to capturing the true essence of these beautiful animals as they are admitted to the shelter. Entering a shelter is always a shock to … [Read more...]
SNOW DOWN AND SMELL THE ROSES
If you're like me, you're moving in several directions all at once with no time to spare. Especially for things that you love to do. When it snowed in Houston this year, a rare occurrence indeed, it really forced me to slow my pace down. Just the shock of watching it snow and stick to the ground in … [Read more...]
IT’S ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE
WHAT A DAY IT HAS BEEN. WHAT A RARE MOOD I'M IN. WHY IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE! WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. I WOULD SWEAR I WAS FALLING, I COULD SWEAR I WAS FALLING, IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE - Frank Sinatra I got the message. An injured Boxer was just taken in at BARC. Would you please … [Read more...]
