"IT'S HOTTT OUT HERE FOR US TOO!" - your pup. Here are some early signs of heat stroke: Heavy panting, Rapid breathing, Excessive drooling, Bright red gums and tongue, Standing 4-square, posting or spreading out in an attempt to maintain balance. A kiddie pool is a great way to cool down after some summer exercise!
*SUMMER SAFETY TIP from the AKC and LMCCB*
Dogs, especially those with short hair, white fur, and pink skin, can sunburn. Limit your dog's exposure during the day and apply sunblock to his ears and nose 30 minutes before going outside.
The dog days of summer are still in full swing at the Lee Mannix Center! Join trainer Jane this evening at 7pm for some leash-walking tune-up at Bulter Park downtown - if interested please contact her at [email protected].
Wed. the 18th we've got Rally practice with Jyl and Inka at 8:15pm (email [email protected]), and Sat. we've got small dog agility practice at 8:30am with Debbie (email [email protected]).

For Mannix...and for those of you that loved that Irish Dog Father. Thank you, Martin Fogarty for sending this our way. - Kimberly Burgan
The High Kings perform the Parting Glass, the finishing song from their debut pbs special.
Thank you as well to Paul Mann, Rev. Jim Mann, Kitt Richmond, Kinky Friedman, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and our other memorial speakers...your tributes and contributions made this Celebration of life truly unforgettable. Lee is certainly smiling tonight - and you know he is LOVIN' that cardboard cut out ;).
Thank you all for joining us today and celebrating Lee's life and legacy, it was a wonderful, healing day for so many. A very special thank you to Erin and Evan Hein, John Darst, and Anna Darst for making seemingly impossible dreams for the day a reality. Dignity Memorial Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Funeral Home... words fail to reflect the depth of our gratitude for all you have done in memory of Lee.
Does anyone have a small pop-up tent, 5x5 or 10x10ish, that we can borrow for the event today? Please call Erin at 832-233-3062. Thanks in advance.
We have been getting many of the same questions this morning so we thought we'd address them here. First: The memorial service today is the only public service. Second: You can come at any time between 1 and 6. There will be speakers at 2 and 5, but the whole afternoon will be celebrating Lee. Third: Jeans are appropriate for the celebration today.
If you have more questions, we'd be happy to address them here too!

"Famous Dog Trainer Lee Mannix Dies" ...famous, Lee would just love this. :) Thank you Fox.
AUSTIN, TX - Local dog trainer and behavior specialist Lee Mannix, 40, died on Sunday as a result of injuries he sustained from a car accident. Mannix, also known as the Austin Dogfather, owned and operated ...
More details will be provided tomorrow, but we have established that an open-house memorial service for Lee, or a party as he would prefer we call it, will be held this Thursday, May 6th, from 1-6pm at our Center in Oak Hill. We hope you will be able to join us in remembering the best of the Irish Dogfather, Lee Mannix.
Thank you all for the incredible outpouring of support and sympathy, it means so much to us here at the Center...even if your anecdotes and pictures make us cry. :) We've received many calls and emails inquiring about a memorial service for Lee, and as soon as we get them set in stone we will be sure to post the information here on facebook, our website, as well as in our e-newsletter. Thank you again.
Wanted to repost in case you missed it
Sporting Wrangler jeans, cracked boots and a weathered T-shirt, a plug of Copenhagen to***co puffing out one cheek, Lee Mannix was a Texas good ol' boy with a distinctly outdoorsy gift: He could talk to the animals.
