Lost Dog!
Posted by Nick Weynand in News & Announcements on June 29th, 2009
She belongs to 5414 Porsche Lane Austin Texas 78749. She escaped early yesterday afternoon from the backyard and has been seen in the creek. She is very friendly, her name is Maggie. She was last spotted this morning crossing William Cannon over by Beckett in the creek area. I’m not sure how to get in touch with that neighborhood. But if you could please help us, We would greatly appreciate it. We have filed a lost animal report with the City and are doing everything we can. Thank You.
German Short Haired Pointer – Name: Maggie Solid Brown, white patch on chest and snipped tail.

Comments from a Westcreek resident:
He has over 25 yrs experience & is a highly regarded arborist in the community. He was retained by Save Our Springs to do an independent assessment on the Barton Springs/Zilker trees that were scheduled to be cut down. He is a frequent guest on KLBJ 590 AM Gardening Naturally show. He’s consulted us for our trees and is a great resource. He knows trees!

June 2009 Winners
Posted by Nick Weynand in Yard of the Month on June 1st, 2009
Story by Judy Jefferson
Becky and Erik Swansiger, with their two sons Holden and Finn, are the June 2009 Westcreek Yard of the Month winners!
The Yard of the Month winners for June are Becky and Erik Swansiger. They live at 6102 Morning Dew with their two sons, Holden age 6 who loves art, maps and swimming, his younger brother, Finn age 2.5 who loves to smile and also loves to swim. This particular address on Morning Dew is where Barton, the 50 pound Tortoise, made his much publicized escape a few years back. Barton had made it all the way to Brush Country before he was captured!
The Swansiger’s have enjoyed living in Westcreek with all the trees and friendly neighbors for the past 10 years. It was one of their neighbors who brought their yard to the attention of the Enhancement Committee. The Buda water feature in front of their porch makes the yard seem very Zen.
Becky and Erik received a $25 gift card from Randalls and a $50 gift card from Emerald Garden. Thanks go to both Randalls and Emerald Garden for continually supporting Westcreek’s Yard of the Month program.
