WHEREAS, People from across Texas were shocked and greatly | ||
saddened to learn of the fire that occurred at the Ponderosa Pet | ||
Resort boarding facility in Georgetown on September 18, 2021, | ||
during which 75 dogs tragically lost their lives; and | ||
WHEREAS, The fire broke out overnight, and although fire | ||
crews arrived on the scene within minutes of being notified of the | ||

their best efforts, they were unable to locate any survivors; and | ||
WHEREAS, Anyone who has raised, cared for, and loved a pet can | ||
empathize with the heartbreak felt by the owners of the dogs who | ||
perished, and they may find some measure of comfort in knowing that | ||
they are not alone in their grief and that their sense of loss is | ||
shared by their fellow Texans; and | ||
WHEREAS, The dogs who passed away belonged to 59 families, | ||
and during the months and years they spent together, they enriched | ||
the lives of their owners beyond measure; though they are gone, the | ||
following 75 pets will forever be remembered: Ace Posey, Ace | ||

affection, friendship, and trust with their owners that can never | ||
be replaced, and our hearts go out to all those who were impacted by | ||
this terrible tragedy; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
