During the summer of 2022, our Animal Rescue Team, with the support of our shelter and rescue partners, removed nearly 4,000 beagles from a mass breeding facility that received multiple Animal Welfare Act violations for issues such as inadequate veterinary care and insufficient food. Many of these dogs were bound for animal testing laboratories across the country. In July 2022, our Animal Rescue Team started transporting the beagles to shelter and rescue partners across the country. By September 1, all 3,776 were on their way to loving homes!

I baked my favorite lemon-ginger Bundt cake recipe for my birthday.  Instead of a Bundt pan, I baked it in a round pan.  I did an internet search for lemon curd frosting, and found this recipe.  I used lemon curd from a jar.  It was the perfect compliment to the cake!

Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality issued a mandatory boil order for the area where I live. I'll be boiling water for dogs and humans through the weekend, as they expect to have the issue resolved by Sunday.
