DRIPPING SPRINGS BABBLE: PAWS DOG OF THE WEEK: BREWSTER

PAWS DOG OF THE WEEK: BREWSTER

We harangued our parents for years trying to get them to rescue a dog. We argued that it would bring them joy and companionship and they would be saving a life, but they just weren't buying it. But we bugged them for so long that Babbler's dad finally relented and said, fine, they would adopt a rescue dog but only a Border Terrier or Border Terrier mix. We soon figured out his selection was due in no small part that it is awfully hard to find a Border Terrier or Border Terrier mix in a shelter. But we are relentless, searching high and low, and ultimately found, in a shelter in Durant, Oklahoma, a skinny little Border Terrier mix who had no idea how much her life was about to change. A man of his word, our dad drove to Durant and rescued what was then just a scraggly mess of skin and bones, but who is now living large in Dripping Springs! For anyone looking for a Border Terrier or mix, PAWS can save you a trip outside the state as handsome Brewster, a Border Terrier mix about 7 months old, is just down the road in Kyle.
