Our latest rescue mission looked a little different than usual.
I was leaving Cloudy's house and saw this tiny heron on the curb, soaking wet. I'm assuming it fell out of it's nest during the storms today. I couldn't stop then, but started making calls and texts, then went back ASAP and it was in the same spot. It was so scared and defensive, and the twins were terrified of the screeching, but I got it.
Wildlife Center of Texas told me the parents won't come back if a baby falls out of the nest and since it was too young to fly, it needed to be brought in for rehab. They put me in contact with an amazing volunteer from League City to transport it to The Heights tomorrow. ❤️

All my food allergy families, you have to check out Faux-Moo Treats: Allergen Friendly Bakery!!!
She's in Texas City, but is starting to do markets in Webster.
I happened to see a post the other day and just picked up a dozen of some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, AND they're top 9 free and vegan!!
Being vegan and free of the top 9, I didn't have high hopes for the taste, but as an allergy parent it's more about safety, and these blew me away!
She does dye free too, so no red 40 crash outs.

It's been a while since I've seen Miss Lady, but she didn't miss a beat. She was super happy to greet me at the door, then ran to the van and snuggled up as soon as we were settled. Her parents have lucked out with the most amazing pups over the years I've been blessed to groom for them.

It may only be 4 days after her groom, but waited patiently to see if I would come out to see her again.

SOS:
A dear client passed away and we desperately need to find homes for these three girls. All three dogs are safe and the other cats have homes but these three are in need.
3 year old Izzy is spayed.
The two sisters pictured together are 8 months old, not spayed and very bonded
If you know anyone interested in at least fostering, or adopting, please text me.

Huge shout out to Classic L**e & Auto Repair on 518.
We've taken all of our vehicles to them for years, for oil changes, inspections and issues once our car got older, and they have always done a phenomenal job but they really saved me today!
The van started acting up and I was late to my first job today after having the codes read at an auto parts store. I rescheduled the rest of my day out of caution and it literally died as I was pulling into the driveway at Classic. I was stuck in the driveway and they told me it wasn't a big deal and they'd tow it to the back if they needed.
As I was drifting into the driveway with no power to anything and struggling to steer, a car drove past and laid on the horn. I thought it was because I had no blinker or break lights, but unbeknownst to me, it was a friend and her family saying "hi". 😂 I was so stressed and almost in tears and the crew reassured me they would take care of the van and they didn't think it was anything catastrophic (it was just some faulty sensors). 10/10 recommend

Princess Penny got her first big girl groom today. She's still not so sure about the dryer and clippers, but she lives for the cuddle breaks. 💜

I have the most random, confusing loose dog encounters and today's left me so confused, almost in a comical way.
We were driving east down 518 when I saw a possible Basset Hound mix running west near Louisiana. We pulled into the vet clinic parking lot as I tried to get the dog to come to me. He kept trucking and barked defensively. A woman was walking to her car as I was sweet talking the dog, begging it not to run, and she asked if he was mine. I went into the clinic to ask to borrow a leash, because I was in my personal car and someone took my leash out of it, but nobody came to the counter. I went back out as the dog was about to go into the intersection and got him to come back, then he came up to me so I looped my purse strap around him to keep him near. All the while I'm on the phone with dispatch and she says "Aww" as I got him near and told him he was a good boy. THEN, a German Shepherd comes around the corner from Louisiana and I tell Dispatch "I have the one but now there's a second dog." I'm still on the phone with one dog in my purse strap and my arm around the Shepherd's side, yelling to the car asking my kid to run in and get a leash when a man walks around the corner telling the dog to come on. I ask if they're both his, since they came from opposite directions, they are. He tries securing the Basset mix when the Shepherd runs off so he leaves me with the little one and goes for the big one. Then he comes back and the little guy goes for the big one. He tells me the big one hates when the little one gets out of the gate and to just let the little one go. He gets the big one secured, the big one growls and the little one and off they go. I just looked back at my husband and daughter like what in the world just happened and they're cracking up because of course this happens with me and it was so comical from their viewpoint. 😂
