Hadn't heard about the dog. Do we have any factual information about the situation he left that dog in? Was it tied up outside without any water or shelter to a telephone pole?
Or, was it left in some kind of sheltered and catered to dog boarding facility?

You think? Hmm.. OK
I'm thinking his dog lives a pretty good life but, have absolutely no proof.
You edited your post. Very Slick of you. 
A security guard was caring for the dog, Snowflake. Hmm, damnation for sure. 
According to your source:

Their poodle, Snowflake, which they got as a puppy in 2014, remained at home
On Thursday at 1pm Snowflake was at home, but Cruz was yet to land back
A security guard told reporter Michael Hardy he had been caring for the dog |

Ted must be a mooslim. We heard the Glenn Beck crowd say Obama is one because he wouldn't travel with his dog.

Yeah I’m totally slick. My original post said something to the effect of he left it in the house for a neighbor to take care of. I’m sorry I got more details and posted a link for you.
Cruz wasn’t coming back until he got busted. Poodles aren’t outside dogs. Dog was left in a 30 degree house to be checked on by a security guard.

'Just crippling': Texans devastated by ice storm are now hunting empty shelves for food and water
https://www.msn.com/en-us/n...1dOsE1?ocid=msedgntp
AUSTIN — The slow-moving winter disaster pummeling Texas that began with snow, ice and widespread blackouts is now moving into a new phase: A dire lack of food and fresh water.
Supermarket chains that remained open in past disasters have shuttered in the face of power outages and impassable roads. Cities like Houston and Austin are on citywide water boil orders, even though many homes don’t have power. And stores that are open are often lined with empty shelves, as delivery trucks struggle to reach them over still-icy roads.
Joe Giovannoli, 29, arrived at a Central Market supermarket in Austin at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, an hour-and-a-half before it opened. Minutes later, more than 200 people had lined up behind him in the biting 26-degree weather.
Giovannoli’s wife is three months pregnant and the power in their one-bedroom Austin apartment blinked out Tuesday night. After a water pipe broke, firefighters also turned off the building’s water, he said. Giovannoli said he realized he still had it better than many others across Texas, but worried how long things will take to get back to normal.
“This is going to be the next phase after things defrost,” he said, looking at the long line forming behind him. “It’s been mentally degrading.”
One of those waiting in line behind him was Johnny LaTouf, 62, owner of the Skylark Lounge, a well-known blues club in East Austin. LaTouf’s home never lost power but his ex-wife, son, two daughters and their families all lost power and moved in with him: 10 people, five dogs and one turtle in total.
LaTouf said he wished local and state leaders had done a better job of warning people about the impending disaster. For now, he hoped to pick up milk and some canned goods to get him and his clan through the next few days.
“It’s really important to be connected to your family and your neighbors,” he said. “That’s what gets you through this.”
A few minutes before the store opened its doors, a manager stepped outside and warned those waiting in line that supplies inside were low: No produce, no baked goods, not much canned food.
“We haven’t had a delivery in four days,” he said.
In Harris County, the largest in Texas with nearly 5 million residents, more than 33,000 homes remained without power Thursday and thousands of people didn't have access to clean water, said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the county’s top executive. When the power went out at Harris County Public Health Department and then the generator failed, officials had to rescue more than 8,000 COVID-19 vaccines, she said.

Slick,
All I'm saying is that you're jumping to conclusions. You and I really don't know what conditions the dog was left in.
Apparently, you don't care for Mr. Cruise. Am I jumping to a unjustified conclusion?
I can understand, I find myself having to hold back frequently when seeing news about Speaker Pelosi.
My understanding is, she doesn't think walls are necessary to protect Americans and yet has one surrounding her home and thousands of NG troops protecting her workplace.
But, that's just me.
Do I think the Senator should have stayed in TX, yeah, I do but, I don't have a problem with him sending his family to warmer weather. Bad judgement on his part but, only for political reasons. Although, I honestly don't know what "red tape" he could have cut or, how much he could have done at some shelter.......... Other than "Political" reasons. I honestly don't blame him and wished he had called me to carry his baggage to and from the plane at the destination. Heck, I'd have been happy to escort his family there just to ensure they made it safely.

Ted sux. Speaking as a conservative, he's repulsive to me. He's as phony as Michelle Bachman. He's been trying to ride that Trump train, but his natural character and history is globalist shill just like he and Bachman did with the Tea Party they helped subvert. Eff him.

I have spent a lot of time in Mexico over the years. I would not take a dog there.

I don't really understand why this matters. I know optics are important, but I also think this is a little ridiculous.
Furthermore, what exactly is Ted Cruz supposed to do? People really do not understand the structure of the US government... we've failed in civics.
Texas US Federal Senators represent the State of Texas, and to some extent, the Governor, to the Federal Senate.
Texas US Federal Congressmen/women represent the people of the State of Texas to the Federal Congress.
ALL of these people have already done everything they can do... and that is, request emergency funding and resources from the Federal government, which they've done. Beyond that, there is literally nothing left for them to do.
Because Democrats have built so much focus on central government, people have absolutely no clue who their locally elected representatives are. There is a whole structure of politicians that they SHOULD be reaching out to which can actually make the change they want (or think they want).
City Commissioner - Depending on the size of your city, this is the first person you reach out to.
Mayor - This is the next person that affects the outcome of where you live.
County Commissioner - Depending on the size of your county, you have this person.
County Mayor / Manager - Next level, who the commissioners report to.
State House of Representatives - Represent the PEOPLE to the state Government
State Senate - Represents the people at a higher level than the representatives to the state Government
Governor - President of the State
But no... everyone goes to the Senator... because that's where everyone has been conditioned to go.
