   Some Native American tribes called the August Moon the “Sturgeon Moon” because they knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this Full Moon. They also called August’s Moon the “Full Green Corn Moon.”  Different tribes had different Moon name preferences. Other examples for August are: “Wheat Cut Moon” (San Ildefonso, and San Juan), “Moon When All Things Ripen” (Dakotah Sioux), and ”Blueberry Moon” (Ojibwe).

"For our friends here in Terlingua, we are going to have a memorial/celebration for Chris Miller on Saturday, August 5 at the Terlingua American Legion - (see their website for the address if you’re unfamiliar with it- https://alp653.com/terlingua/ ). We'd like to start about 11am (with some words from me & anyone else that wants to add anything remembering him) and then just hang out, visit & reminisce until about 2 or 3 pm.
I would like to ask for anyone willing to share: Would you bring a written story or memory you have of Chris and a picture to go with it (if you have one)? Maybe date it too if you remember when it was (even a rough idea) and be sure to include your info too! I want to take all of these wonderful stories & memories and make a book for the girls. Don't worry if you forget, I'll make sure we have paper & pens there too!
Thank you again for all of your support, it's appreciated more that you will ever know!
Love,    Nicole Miller"

Princess and Delilah really love each other. We wouldn't say they were a bonded pair, but they very much enjoy each other's company and take great comfort in each other. They went through some tough stuff together, and would like to see a better world together too. If you have a heart big enough for TWO small/medium dogs, both Princess and Delilah would be a delightful addition to your family. Princes is 3 years old, and Delilah is 4. Both like people and other dogs. Adoption fee negotiable. For more information, please email heather themule@gmail.com
