WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY

Today is the day!! We are open for applications for the Senior Companion program! We will furnish the dog, dog food and vet care for seniors who need a helping hand and a sweet companion. Seniors need a dog more than most younger folks do so this is a win-win for shelter dogs and senior people, alike! This is like a foster situation and the dogs come back to us if the client passes before the dog does. We will be pulling senior dogs from shelters who often get looked over and placing them in the right senior’s home that we match up! This is only available in Granbury and Tolar, Tx right now.
We want to go over some key points of what this program is about and is NOT about.

It IS for -
*seniors 65 and over
*seniors who are struggling financially to be able to afford feeding and vet care for a dog
*seniors who are lonely
*client can be a hospice patient with a care giver to help
*client can be bed bound and still yearn for a dog companion
*have a secure fenced yard for the dog’s safety

This program is NOT for -
*someone who can afford to feed a dog and provide vet care
*someone to just adopt a dog (contact SCF for that)
*when a senior passes away, for us to take their dog(s)
*someone who already has a dog

Please help us by reading this in entirety and if this sound like it would be great for you or someone you love, please fill out the application below. If you need a paper application, contact us by private message and we can mail one. Also, please do not abuse this program and our donation dollars by applying if you truly can afford to have a dog.

One hundred years ago, hotels in Texas advertised 75-cent to $1 daily rooms, cool breezes in summer months, proximity to streetcar lines, and, if you were flush with cash, perhaps even your own private bathroom. While their amenities have been upgraded significantly in the intervening years, many historic hotels still endure in Texas, with their creaky floors and old pipes, stately lobbies, and breezy, rocking chair–lined verandas—plus maybe a ghostly spirit or two that checked in and never checked out. 👻

Among these treasures are the oldest continuously operating hotel—the Excelsior House Hotel, in Jefferson—and four that celebrated their centennials just this year, including the Warwick Melrose, in Dallas. Their staying power? The stories. Read more here: https://txmnth.ly/4fB6yAh

INTERESTING READ

J. D. Vance dedicates his best-selling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” to his grandparents, whom he calls Mamaw and Papaw. His grandmother was just 13 years old when she became pregnant by her soon-to-be husband, who was 16, and they moved to Ohio to start their troubled adult lives. Vance emphasizes that the frequent violence between his Mamaw and Papaw was preferable to the similar chaos that characterized his childhood with his mother. One difference: his grandparents stayed married.

That commitment, Jessica Winter writes, is the essence of Vance’s political platform, in which he laments the “childless cat ladies” who “are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made” and “want to make the rest of the country miserable, too”; posits that universal day care is a kind of class warfare “against normal people”; and opposes abortion. For Vance, a woman’s place is at home, having babies with her husband, no matter how fallible that man may be. “It is clear, on a primal, emotional level, why Vance sees this as the better deal than what he got,” Winter notes. “But what results is a blinkered, grotesquely narcissistic vision of the social contract—an identity politics of one grown child.” Read Winter on what Vance’s memoir reveals of his ideas about parents, children, and who should run the country: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/VpnWT2
