We have almost enough requests for tanks to make a freight-free Wylie load, but only 4 of those have actually confirmed. We are in an iffy situation now,
whether to cancel the load or not. Please call and let us know how you stand.
Once a full order is called in, it doesn't take long to be delivered, especially this time of year.  We won't work on another load until Spring, and those loads take longer because of farm and ranch needs elsewhere in the state. We'll be available at the home phone for sure.
If we are in the yard, we don't run in, 'cause we never make it before the phone stops ringing.
So please kindly leave a message. We need to know if you are a Go or a No! (432) 371-2506

Just as a refresher for the dates, times and places of early voting and election day.  Please note that in Voting Precincts 1 and 8 the election day polls are at new locations.

Beans and Jet each need a home - and are happy to stay together if you have room for two! Jet is an 11-year male whose skillset includes sleeping, sitting in your lap, and licking the bowl clean when wet food is served. Beans is a 2 year old male whose skillset involves wrestling with his human friends, making company feel welcome, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood (through the window). Both have excellent house manners, are thrilled to live indoors, are friendly/happy cats, and are FIV+. They are being fostered together in Big Bend National Park and need a home where they they can show their gratitude for being loved (and saved!).
