Kipper

by jenna.riedi • Posted in: Donations, Fundraising

Kipper is a survivor of the Bastrop fires and has been reunited with his family. However, Kipper was severely injured, with all four paws badly burnt as well as suffering burns to his face. “He is quite the trooper for surviving 11 days out there, waiting on our property for us” says his mom, Janet, “He was so weak, when he heard my voice all he could do was a quite, raspy meow and he couldn’t even get up.”
His family took him to the vet, who have cared for Kipper and helped him heal and while there is not a release date yet, Kipper is doing much better. Kipper’s family completely lost their house in the fires and one of their four pets as well. As you can imagine, the cost of this veterinary care for Kipper is more than the family can afford due to their terrible loss. They reached out to Austin Pets Alive for help with the vet bill and we could not say no. Will you help us pay Kipper’s bill so the family does not have to worry anymore?
Thank you!

The Old Barn

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever . . . it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."~Aaron Siskind

That old barn sat for decades on the land my Grandmother owned in Texas.
Lots of memories lie there...even those that seemed buried and forgotten, they are still alive because of an old B/W picture that shows what once stood and is no more.

Angels Amongst Us

Rest in peace sweet one...

Sweet Texas
In the arms of an Angel,
far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel;
may you find some comfort here
....
Blessings to his family
Purrs and wavin paws to sweet Texas
