Dog Play Date

Sunday, my cousin Dianne and her husband Jeff and I went to visit Alison at Amigos Los Animales. She and her husband, Jeff had just sent 12 dogs to homes abroad. But then, Alison came home with 8 more.
The dogs need socializing to humans and with non-pack dogs. Boca rose to the occasion. She mouthed as puppies do when they play, but no one got bit and Boca couldn't seem to get enough doggie hugs.
After 90 minutes or so, Alison had to go upstairs to do a phone interview with a Denver radio station for her new book, "No Urn for the Ashes." And we went to Miguel's, so he could meet Lora's legacy. He approved of Boca dog, who ate garlic bread while we had grouper.

Happy Anniversary to all!

Jose decorated for the party. And whose picture would be more pretty and fitting than that of the anniversary dog.
Marta brought flowers. Alison and Soli brought a new dog brush. Anna and Genevieve brought stuff to sell to help Lora's friends and all the people of the island.

Alison also brought a dog that played with Lora, but I never could get them in together in the same photo. Street dogs that they were, they'd run up Hidalgo chasing cats. And then Lora would come back and sit down innocently.
Steve from Casa Sirena came for the Bimbo dogs and to to see "Sun Dogs," the documentary about the Jamaican dog sled team, trained by Minnesota mushers. And Steve's not anything if he's not a Minnesotan!
Miguel was charming and very effective in meeting our beverage needs!
Money was raised for PEACE-Isla Mujures and Amigos los Animales. And a good time was had by all.
