Texas Donor Dessert #3

This weekend we went to Austin to see Jessica for the annual Texas Donor Dessert. We brought the puppies with us this time, as Battlecat has recently had severe allergies and is currently on 4 medications (2 oral, 2 topical)...after the Dessert, Jess came back to our hotel room to meet our puppies and get some puppy love as she was missing her own puppy, Alamo. We again had a great time catching up with Jessica and also got to do some very Austin things... beginning with a yummy breakfast at Kerby Lane Cafe.

Jess cuddling Kelsey...Kelsey is instantly friends with anyone who will love and cuddle her!
Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) with a nice view of downtown Austin.
We took the dogs for a walk around the nice trails around the lake.


For Mr. Rud...if you look closely, there's a recumbent rider Rudy's...apparently the best BBQ in Austin...
they just cut off a bunch of meat and serve it with bread on a
piece of wax paper.
Interestingly its attached to a gas station,
but out back they have a big grassy area, where we had a nice picnic ...
and the food was tasty!
There was a cute little girl (under 2 yo) who was in love with our puppies
and kept coming back again and again to pet them...
and they both did really well with her


The dogs hanging out on the way home....

Blurry views of some of the many wildflowers we passed along the way...
unfortunately there were not too many bluebonnets left,
but the other flowers were still very pretty.
