Dog of the Week: Madea




Our Cedar Creek Lake dog of the week is Madea.

In late November 2020, we got a message from a desperate man who, upon moving into a new house, discovered 4 dogs living under it, including 2 puppies. Taking in 4 new dogs at once is a very daunting task, but we knew we had to help. We were able to make room, and thankfully he was able to catch them quickly and bring them to Morton’s Small Animal Clinic. Upon evaluation, it was discovered that it was a family of four dogs, including mom - Madea, dad - Scout, and their young daughters Loretta & Cara. The vet also soon discovered that Madea was VERY pregnant. Just 4 days later, Madea gave birth to a litter of 10 puppies! Imagine if the man moving into the house had not caught them in time? Or had decided not to take action? This sweet family would have struggled mightily to have  enough food to keep mom and 10 puppies alive in the cold of winter, and indeed, most likely not all would have made it. We knew at the outset it would be a challenge to save all 4 dogs, and at the end of the day, we saved 14 lives! We are happy to report that Cara has been adopted, Madea, Scout and Loretta are now available for adoption and the beautiful fast growing puppies, black lab/cur mix, will be available for adoption starting 2/1/20.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

EXCELLENT. Stained; 62 degrees; 0.08 feet below pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have recently been staging in the creek arms to spawn these past few weeks. Fish are now coming back into the main lake in droves to recover from the spawn and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The bite will continue to get even better in these areas as the shad spawn will start to take place in the next 2-3 weeks across the lake. Retrieve shiny slabs or spinnerbaits off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie bite has picked up in the creeks and inlets in 2-10 feet of water throughout the entire lake. We are now seeing the crappie migrate back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 4-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
