Kandu Adventures

We are so very sorry for being extremely lazy/slow blogger.  I think about getting out of my comfy chair, turning off the television and writing events down.  But, then, I think about how hot it is (84deg) or how tired the dogs look and how I shouldn't disturb them. Oh yeah, we got a puppy for Sasha, his name is Bear (Oso for our Spanish speaking friends) He takes tons of time out of our day just laughing at his antics or the funny way his ears rotate like a satellite dish.
     Sasha has had a very rough time with seizures.  We thought at first it was distemper (one vets diagnosis) then it was encephalitis  and now finally with enough blood work in and ex rays taken, she has hemorrhagic encephalitis ( roughly put her digestive system is not working correctly and the food is turned into ammonia which the liver can not process)  Lee has looked up a diet that will help her and lessen the number and the severity of the seizures.   For a while it was every time we went for a walk Sasha ended up in trouble and I ended up a basket case.  Now instead of several a week, we are seeing once every maybe two weeks.

Stealing Sasha's sleep spot

Sasha not happy 

If I can't have my pillow and blanky,
I call this corner of the rug

We try to let them work out the napping arrangements

on their own, at night they each have a kennel to call

their own.  Lee says she is not a dog person, we three

disagree.  She is after all the one who brought them home

and talked me into keeping them.

Favorite bed is that of Oregano

Now why would they do this to me?

I call dibs on orange shoe pillow!

I can't reach the window so I will
     pretend here the wind is blowing
my face off from the back
of the front seats

   We had to go to Lake Chapalla for business one day and decided it was time for a family road trip.  After losing his breakfast, lunch and dinner all over the back of the Jeep, Bear decided he likes car rides.  He can't wait until he is big enough for a window seat.
  The lake was down about 30%.  Lee and I took the dog's out onto the dry lake bed, not
thinking of the possibilities of shoe shucking mud.  Lee and I both walked out of our shoes and Sasha was up to her belly in a mud bog.  We both know how lucky we were, and no we did not see a sign until after we were leaving the lake bed (not that I understood it any way)

Road Trip!

Searching for water

Risk Zone MUD!

 It is fun to be able to explore
with our little family in Mexico.
Not everywhere lets the dogs in,
but when we can they come with
us.

It must be a sturdy wall
to hold up that tree.

Lee has also set up a shop across the street.  There are usually half a dozen kids over there working on projects Lee makes up for them or playing games.  The parents are loving the fact that Lee is taking so much interest in their children and helping them to learn english and wood skills.    She also made a young friend, Kevin, his own rocking horse.  This act of kindness has earned her hugs and smiles for life!
