Pet of the Week: Kia
This little cutie is Kia, a puppy being fostered for LARAS House animal shelter. “She’s too good a dog not to have a home yet; said her foster mom. Kia is very affectionate and cuddly, also very smart. She can be walked on a leash and is already housebroken. Kia loves to play and is good with kids, dogs and cats. To meet Kia or any of the other dogs or puppies at LARAS House, call 254-292-9552.

Book on Littlefield tells story of ‘man absolutely sure of himself’
George Washington Littlefield was a Texas and New Mexico rancher, Austin banker and businessman, University of Texas regent, and philanthropist. Born June 21, 1842, Littlefield and his family moved to Texas when his family had difficulties with other members. In Texas is where his story truly begins. George’s life is very well told in “Texan George Washington Littlefield — A Man Absolutely Sure of Himself,” written by David B. Gracy II and published by the University of Oklahoma. Gracy, a relative of Littlefield has spent a lifetime researching archival and family sources. With this information and his vivid prose, Gracy’s writing is a real treat.
