Introducing Bruce's Adoption Update




May 27, 2023:

This evening, Bruce found a home super locally, like right in our neighborhood. with a family who has 1 1/2 acres, a six foot fence, and five children who fell in love with him at first meet. We can visit him anytime we want. Bruce is no longer in a kennel.  All at a Lake Texoma beach! 

May 9, 2023:

Bruce came to us in the breed of a great Dane. A lady bought him for his breed, but never cared about his need. A ranch hand I'd say, took to Bruce throughout his working day. Bruce was not allowed...out on the range...Bruce viewed his ranch from his lonely cage. The lady and the hand finally made a brand...new deal.

Bruce is an AKC registered 10-month-old male great Dane. After Bruce's release from his prison, five people are taking care of him in shifts. We cannot offer Bruce a forever home. He is just now learning how to be a puppy. He's a great working breed and so easy to train. 

The first dog rescued from that ranch, again with negotiated permission, is a female Belgian malinios whom her daddy calls Bristol. Bristol is introducing Bruce into his lost puppyhood. Bruce goes to the beach to play just about everyday. Someone's always got him. Unfortunately, Bruce has to sleep in a kennel at night. 

Bruce was bred to hunt boars originally, but was found to keep up with horses hauling wagons on long cold treks through mountains blanketed in snow and ice over rocks. If you ever hear one thing about great Danes, the one thing you will hear is, "That is the most genteel dog I've ever met!" Great Danes are also fearless!

Bruce needs a forever home. Bruce is not for sale. There are no rehoming fees. All we knew, was if that lady that bought Bruce, was willing to let him go, as a collective, we could schedule a time for Bruce to be the dog he needs to be all day long at the lake. 

Bruce never got to be a puppy at first. He is sure learning how now with Belgain Bristol, that canine female temptress! Bruce needs a forever loving home. Bruce is a big responsibility. He is teething, and we need big big bones. Bruce is trying to chew on iron picnic tables.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 8)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.37 feet above pool. Striper fishing is firing up with the cold weather! Deadsticking flukes and casting swimbaits are both productive techniques. Look for bigger schools of fish near river channels and deep flats, 40-55 feet of water, suspended. Bigger fish will be on structure in 8-15 feet of water, holding on humps and points near creek channels. Bass fishing is slow with the recent cold snap and falling water temps. Focus on plastics and slow-moving baits near points in 8-12 feet of water, and target sandy flats near creek mouths. Fish around stumps and brush for the best chances. Crappie fishing is tough. Look for fish holding tight to brush piles and structure in deeper water near main lake coves, or on stump flats closer to the dam. Catfishing has slowed down with the falling water temps, but bigger fish can still be targeted on flats near the rivers in 10-25 feet of water. Use cut gizzard shad or whole shad, and anchor up to increase your chances of hooking up on a trophy blue cruising along. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught under the birds in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. This bite is typically around the last hour of sunlight.
