Poor turtle... yes they eat some in the garden and all, but really, what threat are they to 100+ lb dogs or sheep????

Probably none! Who knows what animals are thinking about "danger". Teddy alerted on a lone turkey the other day. It was crossing the road that goes up the south side of the property and went into the tall grass in our west field. I can't imagine a turkey is any threat to an alpaca.

Not poor turtle, it just closes up and ignores Sentry. I think it nipped Sentry and he shook it off. Silly dog.

Fire in Trinity county, other side of Groveton from me. Highway 94 is shut down at community of Glendale, between Groveton and Trinity. People are evacuating. Fire has jumped the highway, 2 hours ago it was 100 acres and spreading.

Y’all pray for those in the path of the fire. I don’t know if y’all can see the video, it’s the sheriff warning everyone of the fire.

Thanks @Baymule that is too close to you... any fire is always too close to someone and fires are bad.... praying they can contain it to the deer lease.

Latest update, 2 hours ago, fire was 40% contained. 1 hour ago it is mostly out, but still a threat. Fire trucks and firefighters will be there all night.

The Glendale fire is 100% contained at this time and is continuing to be monitored. HWY 94 is open but travelers will experience smoke. If there are any negative changes we will update the public a quick as possible.
The Texas Forrest Service estimated 204 acres burned. Lightening is the suspected cause of the Glendale fire.
Thanks to all the area and surrounding area fire departments that responded quickly and got this fire under control.
Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace is in Glendale, Texas.

I clicked on the link that showed up with the words Trinity County. So horrifying to see that fire. I've been thru two that affected me directly, and a total of three where I was a volunteer to help others. Terrifying and horrible. At least earthquakes are over in a matter of a min or even seconds.
Edited to add: it appears that county is on Nixle. If you, Bay, have a smart phone (which I think you do), sign up for the Nixle alerts on that county's Nixle site and so you'll get important, maybe life saving alerts to disasters for your area.
