Our little Jetty has been in our home a week and a half now–and you’d think that she’d been born here! It’s hard to believe that at the end of August Jetty found herself on a transport out of Victoria, Texas and to Austin, thanks to Austin Pets Alive. We found these photos from her …
Thank you all SO much for your purchases and social shares of our fundraiser this Labor Day weekend to benefit the City of Port Aransas Animal Shelter! As you know, this coastal community has long been one of our favorite destinations to take Irie and Tiki–and on August 25 they were battered by Hurricane Harvey. …
