Dog wash and spaghetti

Lorena was over with the girls getting her dry clothes and decided to give her two dogs a bath. She asked if Coyota needed one too. I've been brushing her a lot but she was overdue for a bath. I usually tie her up but Lorena didn't want to. Coyota was very patient.

While they washed I vacuumed the pool for use

Spaghetti

I made way too much spaghetti so they took some home to the family. I still have a large bowl of cold pasta and am going to have to get creative. Lorena suggested with Mayo but I don't think so.

Sapo y Gato Amigos

Well not exactly amigos but they don't bother each other.  There are two toads that live in the yard and they usually don't come out till dark.  We were playing in the pool about 6pm last night when I noticed this.   I guess somewhere along the line Tomas the cat has figured out toads should be left alone even though he'll kill just about every other small creature in the yard.  Coyota the dog ignores the sapos as well.   My only complaint is cleaning up their poop every morning.  They must eat a lot of something.

Dog exercise to the mangoes

When exercise time comes, or lets doing something together time, we usually head out the back road into the farmland. Our primary destination is usually a shade tree to cool off before the return. To the west of the road are mango orchards, some old with huge trees and younger orchards where you can pick most of the fruit from the ground. So mango season is here and the local markets will soon be flooded.

Yesterday was a "lets doing something together time" for the dog and I and it was not that positive. We took a ride (in car) up to the local dam at the base of the mountains. Found out she does get car sick, maybe too soon after eating. After that we tried Cuatecomate beach but too many people and too small a beach. The west end of Melaque was better but Coyota is afraid of the ocean and terrorizes the beach with her energy. Hopefully she will calm down when she gets a little older.

A dog that only likes cat food

Coyota is her name, given by one of my workers. She wandered in one day and decided to stay. Lots of energy and became a protection barker within a few days.

Things went downhill with the Spay and Neuter Clinic in La Manzanilla and she's never been the same. They have to knock them out for the operation, then the operation was a bit difficult with her, then Rabies shots and antibiotics and then anti-stomach worm shots.

Kind of the end of the story is she had two infections in her back legs an after 4 days of more antibiotics with the local vet, she has one leg not working. She seems healthy and happy .... but will not eat dry dog food but loves the cats food. Canned dog food is OK but Whiskers (wiskas) is the favorite.

So Wiskas it is ... much cheaper than canned food and the various bags of dog food she won't eat
