WATER CATCHMENT TANKS Is your pad prepared and smooth? One small rock can puncture your tank and void the warranty. Have you sent your deposit, which confirms your order? I am 1 tank short of a complete load; no matter, I am ordering that one extra and will have it on hand. I have called in this order, order #1, and it should ship shortly. Please contact me with special drop-off instructions and to arrange for the payment of your balance - if applicable. Order #2 is already forming, and at this time has room for 4 or more tanks on the truck. A full load means no shipping costs. 371-2506, (512) 924-2506 or elcentro432@gmail.com Thanks to you all, The Burrs.

OREO has been waiting for his family at the Alpine shelter for more than 6 months. A special advocate has been taking him off-site twice a week to do some enrichment and keep him from despair. He loves these outings – the car, the ability to run at top speed, and good fun with other dogs. Oreo is showing good progress in his leash training and manners, and is kid-tested and kid-approved! He is a beautiful dog, now about 16-18 months old. His DNA test identified his mutt-ly greatness: Australian shepherd, malamute, husky and Staffordshire terrier. Oreo is an athletic 50 pounds and is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all shots. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road. AAS animals are online at www.petfinder.com /pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com.
