Jaune is gone. That’s all I know. When we came home from baseball practice last night, there was no sign of her. I am sad, because she and I had bonded Monday evening while I was bird watching. Everything happens for a reason, though.
Well, it’s that time again. The final episode of Swamp People aired last Thursday night, with R.J. and Troy battling it out for the “King of the Swamp” bragging rights. Although there was never a big to do made over which one actually holds the title, the show would have us believe that both men filled their 500 alligator tag quotas. And if they did, well, good for them.
Last month was a busy one, and as I mentioned in a previous post, I had a visit from this gentleman, Dale Stewart. Hailing originally from Lake Charles, LA and having grown up in Lafayette, LA, his bayou country roots run deep. Now living in North Carolina, Dale finds himself being drawn back to his…
On that first Sunday that Lil Sis and I took our adventure by boat and then by truck down the bayou to get our first glance at the damage, our truck driver, Mechanic, said something very interesting. I’m noting it here so I remember it for future reference. “When you evacuate, you can become a…
If you missed them, I back tracked and put up four posts about how we prepared for Hurricane Gustav and the following evacuation. Please go back and check them out, if you haven’t already. My family and I are still in North Louisiana experiencing the hospitality and lovely home of LilSis (Heather Here). BigSis and…
A PHOTO STORY OF THE FURRY KIND! Photos by Termite WARNING: Prepare to have your heart stolen. “Got milk? I’m all out!”
In case you’re thinking that’s where Santa stays, think again. The Jolly Inn is a local, old-time dance hall in Houma, Louisiana, where you might find yourself having a jolly old time, if you just let your hair down and let your feet fly! That is exactly what Lil Sis and I did on one of her recent trips down the bayou.
Oh no! That’s so sad! I hope she turns up again. Abby and I send our love.
Thank you and Abby. We are hoping that the owners reclaimed her. That would be a fine ending to this story of a boy and a dog-for-2-days!
I’m also sorry to hear that she is gone. My heart goes out to Termite.
He’s acting tough, like it’s for the best, but I know he’s disappointed. She’s not been here in almost 24 hours, so that’s not a good sign.
My heart goes out to a very disappointed boy, and hopes he finds comfort that his temporary friend is at home with his owner. Perhaps a mom may find room for a retriever pup, lab, golden, whatever as long as it ducks………..Thanks for sharing this with us…as it surely has seemed to touch us all.

Your words touch me, Deb. He was offered a lab puppy free last night, but he’s not ready for all that responsibility; and I don’t have the time to take up the slack right now. I have traveling to do, and we already have one dog that we have to provide care for. I told him he can have his dog when he’s a little older and proves he can be responsible for ALL its care. And you know what? He totally agreed. Having Jaune for a couple days showed him how much work a big dog is. Yes, she was fun, but she was also quite a few handsful! Maybe that was a double blessing?
Snif. I’m still mourning Shawee. Squeeze Termite for me.
We had a dog show up like that once. We loved her but she had a wandering gypsy heart.
Tell you son to let her go. She wants to love a lot of people. Maybe there is a golden at the shelter needing his love?
