Have-A-Heart Pet Shelter The dog featured this week is one of these examples. Opal’s owners moved away and left her behind. The kind neighbors took her in and began feeding her before realizing she was pregnant. They cared for her until she had her 12 puppies. The pups got accepted into the Shelter’s puppy partner program and once weaned, were sent to a metropolitan city out-of-state to be adopted. Then Opal was brought to the Shelter so we can find her the perfect home.

Last week was another busy one at Have-AHeart! Several adoptions, a successful yard sale, and more. And now we are gearing up for our booth at Turkey Trot, October 14-15, where we’ll be selling Patrick’s yummy homemade dog treats. If you want to be rewarded with lots of thankful tail wags, be sure to come by our booth and purchase some for your furbabies!

Recently, a cousin of mine, Patty Morris Abrams, shared on Facebook that her dad’s cousin, Jimmy “Driftwood” Morris, wrote the song The Battle of New Orleans. I commented that I’d once won second place in the Flippin School Talent Show performing that song, back when I was in grade school. Her post got me strolling down the proverbial memory lane, and here I share it with those of you who want to stroll along with me.

Hello all, I hope everyone is in good health and happy spirits! Fall is here and it is time to enjoy some outside time before the weather turns to bitter cold and ice. My family is doing really good, and we are rolling with the flow. My craft fair is coming up and I have been working hard to get everything organized and make sure I have plenty of items. I hope it is a good day for it and we have lots of people. I am really excited about how well my little side gig is going. So, everyone have a great week and As Always Remember the Little Things, they are what makes the world so happy.
