The term Dog Days of Summer typically conjures up images of hot, sultry nights in the South. For Houston Astros fans, the annual August Dog Day event is an opportunity to have canine family members join in the fun at Minute Maid Park. While a late rally by the Seattle Mariners resulted in a loss for the Astros, it didn’t seem to faze these park visitors. One Cypress dog basked in the limelight, garnering the attention of delighted fans. Kuzco Radcliff, a Pomeranian/Husky mix with astonishingly piercing eyes, is a resident of Blackhorse Ranch, and makes his home with his dad, Jeff, mom, Juli, and his human siblings, Carter and Brady. Big brother, Tyler, and his new bride, Kasside, came along for the fun. “He made the Jumbotron and the Houston Astros twitter,” shares Juli delightedly.

Happy Fall, y’all! My mom and I often wonder what ever happened to the dogs whose stories we have shared. Have they found loving homes? Are they living their “Happily Ever After?” We featured Beau, a sweet basset fostered through Basset Buddies Rescue of Texas in 2019. We were so excited to hear that right after our article was published, Beau was ADOPTED! Alison Malone, his foster mom, says, “He is spoiled rotten!” The Bartletts, his adoptive family, was happy to share some photos and an update by their teenaged daughter, Gabby, who has forged an amazing bond with Beau. “Beau has been with us for a little over two years now. For those two years, him and I have been best friends. Ever since the first day we got him, he’s been a sassy ball of light in our life, and loves swimming and snuggling with us. He’s blended so well with our whole family and our other dogs, constantly putting up with their craziness and them forcing him to “play” with them. Ever since the day we saw that Beau was looking for a home, we knew that our family needed him as much as he needed us. This turned out to be a decision that constantly keeps us all smiling.” If you know of a dog rescue organization with a foster in need of a forever home, please contact texasteacher024@outlook.com.
