 Alpine Animal Shelter - This bio is also a confession from his biographer. Bruno is a big boy – even in his dramatically underweight condition – and he is extremely eager to get out of his kennel. But don’t be fooled like I almost was: his kennel self is very different than his out-of-the-kennel self. Away from the shelter, Bruno is a gentle, curious galumph who would like to cover your entire face in one swipe of his enormous tongue. Bruno hasn't enjoyed much attention or consistent training but the door is wide open for someone to encourage him to be a model pet. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all shots. A Doberman-mixed-with-something big, he will probably weigh 100 lbs. All Alpine shelter animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 and for more info, email heatherthemule@gmail.com

First June Solstice Full Moon in Decades
In 2016, a full Moon, also commonly known as Strawberry Moon, coincided with the June Solstice. The 2 events haven't occurred on the same day since 1967 and will not coincide again until 2062.  'Solstice' (Latin: 'solstitium') means 'sun-stopping'. The point on the horizon where the sun appears to rise and set, stops and reverses direction after this day.
On the solstice, the sun does not rise precisely in the east, but rises to the north of east and sets to the north of west, meaning it's visible in the sky for a longer period of time.
Although the June solstice marks the first day of astronomical summer, it's more common to use meteorological definitions of seasons, making the solstice midsummer or midwinter.
Over the centuries, the June solstice has inspired countless festivals, midsummer celebrations and religious holidays. One of the world's oldest evidence of the Summer Solstice's importance in culture is Stonehenge in England, a megalithic structure which clearly marks the moment of the June Solstice.

Summer is here finally and with the high daytime temperatures is also a risk of exposure to very high Ultra Violet radiation.    We receive High UV Warnings almost daily here in the Big Bend.
A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Reduce time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

Also, drink plenty of water and stay hydrated!
