Clockwise from top left, Puck, a 3-year-old border collie/beagle mix; Edward McCaleb; Boyo, a 6-year-old golden retriever/lab mix;
Ruby, 12-year-old border collie and Winnie, a 6-year-old rottweiler/wolfhound.
McCaleb and his wife share another passion: rescue dogs. They’re involved with
Animal Rescue Flights, an organization that moves animals from overcrowded
shelters to families in other parts of the country who are willing to adopt them.
Volunteer pilots assist with the effort.
The couple’s dogs (Winnie, Ruby, Boyo and Puck) have the run of the back garden
where the loss of walnut and pecan trees opened it up. McCaleb has drawn up plans,
though he finds landscape architecture a bit more challenging than the building
architecture he knows so well. He’s included in the plans a small pet cemetery.
