Brandon reports with some measure of relief that Apache arrived in Shepherdstown happy and energetic.  To God all praise and glory.

Excerpt from http://www.livingdesert.org/plants/teddy_bear_cholla.asp

 

Because the spines [of the Teddy Bear Cholla] are so well barbed, loose segments of the cactus easily stick to passing animals and can be transported far from the mother plant before they become dislodged at their new home site. Many people might swear that the cactus jumped at them and grabbed them, which explains the common name Jumping Cholla. This is a testament to the efficiency of the barbed spines at attaching to passers-by.

We're going to give a presentation to the church between services Aug.  10 (which I hope all can attend).

I just got off the phone with Scottsdale Veterinary Clinic, checking in on Apache.

She is doing very well! She is eating and going out several times a day for her walks, and seems to be adjusting very well to her surroundings. The "kennel keeper", Tom, says she has a habit of rolling over on her back a lot when approached, so that's nothing new.

I didn't get any news regarding her health, but I think if there were anything wrong they would
have told me.
