Views of the Neighborhood – Dedication of Lakeway’s Rainbow Bridge

~ John W. Howell

Today, we are visiting the Lakeway Greenbelt to witness the dedication of Lakeway’s official Rainbow Bridge. I was on break when this event took place, so I would like to thank The Producer for taking the photos and providing the background information. We are catered by Ezov of Austin, and our entertainment is Judy Garland.

  12. Such a splendid tradition, John (although I don’t think I ever could part with any of my dearly departed pups’ collars!). It’s nice to hear that Lakeway is so sensitive to ALL its citizens, the furry ones as well as the voting ones!
