Living the Lake Travis Lifestyle

The Lake Travis Lifestyle includes a variety of attitudes and values from a variety of people. Lifestyle choices in the area are many — from the neighborhood you live in and how you raise your children to choices about your health and the well-being of others in our community.

Many of us are influenced by our surroundings. Here in the Lake Travis area, we have development, traffic, and water management issues that affect our lifestyle.

Everything from articles that are a little more personal — and sometimes more humorous than others — to creating awareness about traffic and water conservation, this is where you'll tap into the heart of Lake Travis Lifestyle.

Dog Utopia in Lake Travis: Sidewalk Suites, Puppy Photo Shoot & Pet Sitter Extraordinaire

Written by Cathy Hale | August 8, 2018

Last week, we mentioned Hill Country Galleria is partnering with DogSpot out of New York, to bring air-conditioned dog pods to HCG mall property. As of this week, they’re up and running next to LOFT and Chisos Grill. In fact, your dogs are now trendsetters, because HCG is the first in Texas to use these houses.

When you go inside to shop, you don’t have to tie your dog to a pole or a bench and leave Fido in the heat by his lonesome. He can lounge for up to 90 minutes in a roomy, VIP, pooch pod fully equipped with A/C, a doggie cam, windows, etc. Just read the awesomely simple instructions on the side of the DogSpot. “Yes, we’re serious.”

On a personal note, isn’t this is a hilarious concept to cat owners and moms?

First, imagine putting your cat in one of these things. Second, can we put our children in them? I don’t know about you, but my teenage son would much rather sit in an air-conditioned hut and game on his iPhone that shop with his mama …

Per HCG, no, you can’t put your kids in them. (Dang it.)

A City Girl in Texas: When Lake Travis is like Animal Planet

2018 has been an exciting year for critter sightings in the Lake Travis area. And not just the usual creepy crawlers like hairy spiders and snakes. We’re talking exotic game, like gazelles and a ghost deer, casually roaming around Lake Travis neighborhoods.

Okay, that’s not their real names. That’s what I called them, but that’s because I’m not a real Texan …
