Texas Legends Kinky Friedman and Steven Fromholz Touring For Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch.
The super-successful Legends And Puppies Tour of 2008, with former gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman and Texas Poet Laureate Steven Fromholz, is back on the road once again, and it's coming to a city or town nearby! As always, it's for the benefit of the Kinkster’s favorite cause, the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, a 501(c)3 organization that rescues abandoned and/or abused dogs, nurtures them and places them with loving families.
Nearly every stop on the tour so far has been sold out, with several second shows added in the hottest markets. Every show includes a live auction with a guitar signed by longtime Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch supporter and Big Dog, Willie Nelson, as well as other terrific items from Kinky's private memorabilia collection.
Named Texas Poet Laureate in April, 2007, Steven Fromholz is a unique Texan, who has had his songs recorded by Hoyt Axton, John Denver, Lyle Lovett, Michael Martin Murphy, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker and dozens of others. Four years after suffering a near-fatal stroke, he's singing and playing better than ever, and he's recently written and published a book, 'Texas Trilogy' (Esteban Publishing). Fromholz describes his music as: "free-form, country-folk rock, science fiction, gospel gum, bluegrass opera, cowjazz music." Steven Fromholz is once again a huge presence on stage.
Also no surprise, however, is Kinky’s commitment to all the lost puppies of the world, and Steven Fromholz will be there to help. And in the end, Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch will save more puppies. YAY LEGENDS! YAY PUPPIES!

A very sad goodbye
Yesterday we found out that Mrs. Wilson passed away. She was our next door neighbor and I really liked her. About a year ago she got really sick and had to go to the hospital. After she got out she needed someone to help her around the house so she went to live with her son. She never came back to her old house and we hadn't seen her in a really long time. Last night we found out about her death and we were all very sad.
She used to make us homemade bread and was always around to wave as we left for work. She definitely brightened our lives and we'll miss her a lot!

Dallas City Council Animal Ordinances
OK City Council, it's time to do the right thing!
Next week you'll be voting on mandatory spay/neuter legislation - and there is only one way to vote! This ordinance MUST be passed. I can't believe that there is even a question here...
Last year ALONE Dallas Animal Services euthanized almost 30,000 animals – that's over 50 animals each day! And that's just Dallas Animal Services - figure in the other "kill shelters" in the city and the numbers are even higher.
Now is the time to show the people of Dallas that you can look beyond the outdated back-woods attitude that turns a blind eye to our growing animal overpopulation problem.
Remember:
Bella say, "Don't be a DUMBASS, spay or neuter your pet!"

I'm really excited! I just found out that more people are buying my "Bella says..." t-shirts! I'm selling them on Cafepress, hoping to help spread the word out the importance of adopting and spaying and neutering.

My friends at the Petropolitan are becoming very popular... they're really nice, so I'm not at all surprised. Chris even has a commercial for the shop. He did really well and I like watching it. Take a look, here's the link: Petropolitan Commercial
