Full Story
Photos

Well, we were trying to ignore it. Deny it. Refuse it. Tried to belive she was getting fat...
Now she is quite in you face obviously pregnant. The couple times she escaped during heat I was right behind her on the bike. Really never believed she had the time to have them eggs fertilized......

Would have been nice if "El Coyotito" (Rudolph) was the father, but he just was not at all interested.

I figure she is about one month into it, with about a monthto go. Lets start the bidding here. I said four, and Nube said eight. Enter your guess ubder comments.

Dedos shot and kidnapped!

Full Story
Ransom was paid to retrive Don Dedos yesterday by Chris. "I just happened to look outside when I saw these two guys with slingshot bend over and pick up an Iguana. I watched them carry him by his tail down the street. I didnt even think it might be Dedos."


The boys had made it down to the corner before Chris decided to call after them and ask how much they wanted for the Iguana. They thought it was kinda odd a gringo wanted to eat him. After weighing the iguana by carefull guess work, lifting and lowering him - the ransom was agreed to be $10.00 pesos.

"It was then, when I was holding him I thought it could be Dedos. Hes fatter than most, for all the fruit he is feed at his lunch counter. I forget he actually goes outside the Quinta from time to time."

He was returned to the tree and immediately went into his hiding spot. Today seeing him at his normal perch with the wound on his neck and hind side confirms that it was Dedos after all.

"I am so pleased I happened to look out the window just then. We would have never known what happened to him"

July Vacancies

Full Story
Still plenty of vacancies this July . This was the coolest june in the 12 years I have been here. Still pretty hot and humid - in the 80's , but often a tad less than 70 in the early morning. Still no rain - but not usually expected after the first week of July.

Lemoncito's new roomate.

Full Story
Caught a greenish bird flying around the courtyard today out the corner of my eye - I panicked thinking it was Lemoncito (our greenish parakeet). Actually, it was another. A girlfriend for Lemoncito crying to get into the cage with him. She was an easy catch, and pretty hungry. Will her name be Sol, in honer of the solstice?
