Terri Hendrix

Terri Hendrix is a San Antonio-born, San Marcos-based singer, songwriter who appears in venues and at festivals throughout Texas and the US. Her music is a mix of folk, roots-pop, country and scat-jazz. Aussie and I subscribe to her monthly email newsletter Goat Notes which arrived late this month, but with this explanation: My newly adopted dog, Buddy — long story — snatched a pair of my underwear from my laundry basket, bolted out the doggie door, and before I could catch him, swallowed them whole. Needless to say, when I was supposed to be writing my GoatNotes, I was on the phone with Pet Emergency services attempting to understand the damages that consuming a pair of Hanes Her Way could inflict on a mutt's digestive system. The next day, I dropped Buddy off at the vet, and a few hours
later got word that everything was going to be OK, as he'd just regurgitated my undies in front of the entire veterinary staff. A few days later, when I picked Buddy up from the vet (I'd been on the road), I was greeted by a chorus of giggles. That's when I learned that, during his ordeal, my mutt's cage had proudly displayed a sign that read, "Please monitor Buddy for a large pair of Terri Hendrix's underwear." Friends, I know this sounds like "the dog ate my
homework" and that's why my assignment's not in. Butt (pun intended), it's definitely a true story.

Here is Terri's website.
