Just sharing these resources we've come across for anyone who needs the info after the tornado. May add to it if we see other help. Haven't had time to post or respond to many but we're praying for each of you who were also affected by the storms. We're still out of power at home so haven't dealt with mess yet but we've been super busy since we have so many pet sitting clients out of town and out of the country and we're trying to care for issues at their homes as well as their pets/farms. After Wednesday, I've come to the conclusion that professional pet sitters should be categorized as first responders in situations like this!

The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed that an EF-2 hit Temple on May 22, 2024.

There are seven participating locations offering people impacted by the tornado a secure and dry place to store their belongings.

As a mobile business, I spend soooo much time in my car. This week it's a happier place thanks to a couple of the sweetest clients. One brought me back this adorable Pooh Bear (he's my fav!) keychain from Disney. He is now making me smile as I cover the miles, AND he even has a little 🐝 (Busy B's) with him! Another, knows my favorite scentcy smell and left me a car scentcy in my fav scent! Add those to my latest audiobook recommended by another homeschool mom and it's no wonder I just pull up to my house and sit a while before going in 😁🥰

Yall, these little gals were so much fun to sit for over the past week. Such cuties! 💛

A special find this morning while out pet sitting. My son noticed her and showed me. The owner said they haven't had any eggs in there in two years! I just love and cherish all the fun little blessings God shows us as we go about our days!

When you let your pets stay at home and have Busy B's care for them while you travel, they get to do what makes THEM the happiest, whether that's play hard, snuggle hard, or chill and nap like a pro.

11 years in the business full time and I'm today years old finding out that there is a "week" for my chosen profession!

🚨 Public service announcement 😆 For all you new Residents! 🙂

If you are new to Texas, we are about to experience “Texas Winter”. This is 6 or 7 days of cold, maybe some ice and snow. Frank Billingsley will threaten snow. It may snow, it may not, and if Frank says 2 inches, it could be 10, or it could be 1/2”. It doesn’t matter how much snow it is. We’ll all freak out because we don’t see snow often.
The threat of snow (or ice) from good ol’ Pete is your prompt to head to the grocery store and buy milk, eggs, and bread. It doesn’t matter if you need these items. It’s just what we do. Everyone in town will be there.

You’ll also need to make a mad dash for faucet covers, and finding them and getting out of the store will be like an episode of the hunger games. You’re in the redneck district.

Don’t look for a sled. You won’t find one. In the rare chance we get enough ice or snow to sled, grab some cardboard or a trash can lid and go find the nearest hill. Yes, we know it’s not a hill. You live in the flatland, just go with it. You’ll be alarmed by the fact that you’re “sledding” towards a bar ditch, fence, or maybe into a farm to market road.

Just go with it.
You’ll be fine.

We don’t have equipment to handle the winter and weather. The roads will be a mess, and even though the state has been telling you for a week they’re ready, they’re not, and it won’t work. Just stay home if you can, and if you can’t just come to terms with the fact that nobody here knows how to drive in snow and ice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT talk about snow tires.

If you happen to slide off the road or get stuck, turn your flashers on, take a deep breath, and wait. Two guys in a four-wheel drive truck will be along in no time to offer assistance. Don’t try to help them. They live for this stuff and will do what they can to get you back on the road. If either one of them screams “hey y’all watch this” just get back and get your phone out and start recording, you’ll probably have a viral video.

Also of note, when they offer you beer and deer sticks, don’t be rude. Take them and smile.

No matter what you do, don’t talk about how they did it back home in any of these scenarios.

Nobody cares.

You live in Texas now.

When we act like we’re going to die and start to complain about the 7 days of winter, just shush, we’re serious, and we don’t care how much you love it.

We don’t.

You’ll be back in shorts and flip-flops in a week to ten days, and it’ll be nice until right around Easter.

Texas “second winter” will be 2 or 3 days and will hit right around Easter, usually the week before or the week after. This will hit right around the time you plant flowers and a garden.

We know you’re not from around here when we see you’ve planted flowers before Easter and before the “second winter” has hit.

This is why all the people at the nursery don’t sound like us when you’re shopping for plants.

We know better.

During the second winter it’ll go from 70 to 25 and you’ll experience all four seasons in one day.

This too shall pass, get used to it and when second winter is over you can enjoy the 3-4 weeks of “spring” before summer gets here and it’ll be melt your face off hot until sometime around Halloween.

All 💯 Facts.
