Just recently have I become aware of the worrisome extent of a proposed R.V. park to be built just north of Wimberley. Although some growth in our lovely area is to be expected, we all have hoped it would be graceful and maintain the natural beauty of the region, without damaging our shared environment.

Roma is a sweet girl who has completed heartworm treatment in a foster home. Roma is a Welsh corgi/Australian cattle dog mix, She weighs 28 pounds and is two years old. In her foster home Roma has been left alone, out of her crate, for up to three hours with no accidents. When inside, she feels safe in her crate. Roma also loves spending time outside in the backyard where she runs around freely. She knows how to sit and come and is treat motivated so can surely learn more commands. If you are interested in Roma or any other dog, fill out a WAG adoption application at www.wimberleywagrescue.org or call 512-847-3200.

A friend recently mentioned that, because of her allergies, she must go inside anytime her husband sprays outside. I hope you will join me in doing it the natural way by making your own herbicides and pesticides that will not bother humans and will kill only the undesired plants or insects. Any treatment that kills indiscriminately interferes with our food chain, and that is potentially harmful to species like us at the top of the chain. Spot spraying with safe products is much safer for all of us and should be the Wimberley Way.
