An odd Tuesday report...

In case you wondered, Readlarrypowell.com is in the throes of computer misery and is working (a) via laptop and (b) out of town on a visit to Mom in Texarkana – she’s had what she calls “minor surgery” and what the rest of us don’t. But, she’s rocking along and hoping to be discharged swiftly.
The hospital doesn’t allow dogs and cats so I’m having to talk to humans. It’s very trying.
In the meantime, just some reminders and, please, get the complete details by doing a search for the event or organization. We’ve mentioned some of them before.
Among the reminders:
--The annual Paws Cause benefiting the SPCA Village Fair Wellness and Spay/Neuter Center is Saturday – go HERE for details.
--Dallas Animal Services will host a free spay/neuter event for the animals of Dallas residents on Saturday (e-mail spaydallas@yahoo.com or call 940-566-5551. (I have more info on this somewhere in an inaccessible computer drive, but the deal is the operations are first-come, first serve and free. I’ll illuminate the sponsoring details later, but for now if you know someone in Dallas who needs to get their dogs or/and cats “fixed,” make the call, send the e-mail. )
--Out at the lake, Friends of the Animals at Cedar Creek Lake is still selling tickets to the production Sylvia, the story of a dog and the couple who adopted her --it's a family comedy. The production is at the Mabank Middle School, tickets are $10 each, sales benefit Friends of the Animals of Cedar Creek Lake and Spay/Neuter Support Services of East Texas. Call 903-451-4701.
CONTEMPLATIONS: For the first time in decades I have spent the night in a place without an animal – no dog, no cats, no drunken sports nuts in a hotel lounge. It’s odd and I don’t recommend it. … Hospitals make lots of odd noises when people are enjoying a nice conversation. … My rocksolidspouse Martha is not only working at her office today but monitoring one of our dogs who apparently is ill without me (perhaps I over exaggerate) and she also delivered a neighborhood wander-up cat this morning to our vet for spaying. Can you believe this? We managed to catch the last unspayed cat in Dallas County! Yep, everybody can relax now and spend your money on jewels and gold.
