Our hearts are so full 💛

This Easter weekend at The Philomena was nothing short of beautiful—laughter echoing through the halls, little feet racing for eggs, and generations coming together in the sweetest way.

None of this would have been possible without our incredible sponsors who poured their generosity into making this day so special for our residents, families, and community. Because of you, we didn’t just host an event… we created memories.

From all of us at The Philomena—thank you for being part of something so meaningful.

Happy Easter 🐰🌷

Plot twist… the Easter Bunny has competition this year 🐰😏

We’ve got DRAGON EGGS at The Philomena and things are about to get legendary 🔥🐉
Who needs ordinary eggs when you can hunt for magic?

Now I just need to throw on my bunny ears and let the fun begin 😎🐰

April 3rd is going to be one for the books—don’t miss it!

Hi everyone, Chewy here 🐾

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the love after my big surgery (yes… I lost 10 teeth but gained at least 1000 extra cuddles 😌).

Aspen Hospice & Palliative Care San Marcos & Bastrop brought me the BEST care basket (10/10, would recommend)!!!

PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Kyle and PAM Health at Home sent the most beautiful flowers… clearly matching my level of fabulous.

I’m recovering, soaking up the extra love, and being dramatic when necessary.

Love,
Chewy ❤️ 🐾

🐾 My beloved community… it is I… Chewy. 🐾

I come before you… not as I once was…
but as a survivor.

Today, at my very advanced and distinguished age…
I endured the unthinkable.

10 teeth… taken from me.
Not quietly… not gently… but in a battle I will never forget.

And yet… I remain.

Smiling… not out of joy…
but out of duty.

As I enter this delicate chapter of recovery… I must ask you, with what strength I have left:

🚫 Do not feed me.
Not the chicken. Not the snacks. Not even if I look at you with my old man eyes and whisper,
“this could be my last meal…”

(Do not believe me. I am strong. I will endure.)

🥣 I am now on a soft diet while my stitches heal…
a fate I never imagined… but one I accept with grace and dignity.

💛 If you wish to help me…
offer gentle pets… soft words… admiration…

Tell me I am brave.
Tell me I am handsome.
Tell me I have the smile of a warrior.

For I have seen things…
and I have lost much…

…but I am still your Chewy.

Forever resilient,
Sir Chewy, Guardian of the Hallways, Breaker of Hearts (and formerly… treats) 🐶✨

We had a blast celebrating Saint Patrick's Day! 🍀

We enjoyed festive leprechaun themed cocktails, green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and Saint Patty's Trivia. We definitely celebrated with the true Irish spirit.
