Pet Talk

Body
Puppies are so adorable that you may feel tempted to adopt two instead of just one. Even though having two puppies may seem like a good idea, raising them together can cause longterm behavioral problems. Harmony Diers, a veterinary technician at the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says that while these problems are not a guaranteed outcome of raising two puppies together, nor are they breed specific, littermate syndrome is more common than not when raising two puppies from the same litter, or even two close in age from separate litters.

Welcome Integrity: Newnesses

Body
So crisp and fresh and green. Parsley trees appeared to be growing past my shoulders, above my head and the narrow path was truly golden. This is one of my favorite dreams. When I see a bunch for sale on the top rack at Brookshires, I often take one to enjoy its flavor doubly as I have secretly reminisced waking up wondering, what could that dream have meant?

The Power of Focus

Body
Anything you focus on gains influence in your life. If your focus is a hobby and you spend great amounts of time on that hobby, the hobby will determine how much time you give to other things around you. If your focus is on a person, that person can become an obsession. Focusing on a fear can paralyze you. The same could be said for focusing on sickness, money or entertainment.

I needed a few things from the store. But, I had company coming, soon. So, I had to hurry. The store had most of the things on my list. I quickly placed them in the buggy. But, the thing I wanted most; they didn’t have. I wanted windshield washer fluid. I didn’t know how, to put it in the car. And it had been out, for a week or more. So, I intended to get one of my boys to fix that problem for me.

Wreaths Across America

Body
Wreaths Across America event took place on Sunday at the Hemphill City Cemetery, as members of the VFW and American Legion (along with many helpers from the FFA, Hemphill Bass Club and thankful citizens) placed wreaths at the headstones of military veterans who have passed on. The service began with Vice-Commander of the VFW Post 10351 Curtis Buckner reciting solemn words expressing the reason for the wreaths and appreciation of the service of the veterans who have passed. Then a wreath was placed at the flag representing each branch of military service, followed by the placing of wreaths at the headstones of veterans located in the cemetery. Wreaths were also taken to several other cemeteries throughout the county.
