Vol 26. No. 46
December 22, 2015
The answers, if they can be found anywhere, lie in the weird communal fabric of Terlingua, where solitude is not solitary and the shared struggle for survival achieves the motley grace of a desert parade.

Thanks, Moon - you all got Raydar adopted locally by posting him last week. Thank you so much! (Even bigger thanks from Raydar too...)
GORDY is a 72-pound lap dog. This super-sweet, giant-headed male brindle pit bull is 3 years old and gets along great with dogs of all ages and sizes, and every person he meets, too. He can run and play with the best of them, but he can also lean against you wagging his tail, or preferably sit on your lap, definitely not realizing his size. Probably if you laid down on his dog bed he’d spoon with you immediately. Everyone at the shelter loves this big guy and he will happily fit into a household where he’s involved in everyone’s activities. GORDY 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.
All AAS animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 For more info email heatherthemule@gmail.com
