Small Treats. Big Wags. — The Neighborhood Edition is a love letter to a Katy dog community, one trail and one treat at a time.
For CeCe, it all started with her German Shepherd, Nox.

Their daily walks around the neighborhood turned into friendships. You see the same dogs and the same people every day, and before long, you're a little community. Hers happens to be full of foodies; neighbors are always passing homemade dishes to one another.

🔥 BURN BAN 🔥
Willowfork crews working a grass fire caused by an illegal burn. Please remember we are under a burn ban. It’s too dangerous and too dry for any outside fires. Please be careful even with outside cooking fires and BBQ pits.

LOOK UP, KATY: A deep partial lunar eclipse will move across the moon tonight, creating a dramatic darkened and possibly copper-colored appearance.

The visible partial phase begins around 9:34 p.m. CDT and peaks at approximately 11:13 p.m. Residents in Katy, Fulshear, Sealy, Houston and Sugar Land should watch for breaks in the clouds.

No eclipse glasses are needed because this is a lunar eclipse and is safe to view directly.

Katy Police Department

🚨 🚔🚑🚒🚨

We know you’re curious.
We see the comments.
We hear the questions. 👀

“Why are there so many officers?”
“Why are all the fire trucks headed that way?”
“Does anybody know what’s happening?”
(We know someone already asked Facebook.) 😅

Every emergency is different, but we thought we’d have a little fun and share this guide to help explain what you might be seeing when multiple Katy Police officers and Katy Fire Department crews are responding to a call.

🚨 Remember: This is all in good fun, but the most important thing you can do when you see emergency vehicles is give first responders room to work, slow down, move over when required, and allow them to do what they do best.

And when it looks like every police officer, firefighter, and ambulance in Katy is headed to the same place… it’s probably safe to say someone is having a very busy day.
