Last year, some of you will remember our little "Chaplin" who turned out to be female and who had a litter of kittens from the pure black male on our street. She is back, looking good, and is happy that her daily food has resumed as well.
One of her babies is a ringer for Daddy, pure black, cute as a bug's ear, and getting less skittish by the day.
The second baby is a female and looks a lot like Mom, but she is really thin, looks sick, and gets pushed aside by both her brother, her Mom and her Dad for food - guess they call this the survival of the fittest, and if we could ever get close enough, we would bring her in and make sure she gets fed. As the days go by, she shows up less and less and now it has been a week since we have seen her...oh dear.
After waiting impatiently for several days, our cable guy, Arturo, saved the day by getting our internet connected and up and running. Bravo Arturo!
We went to one of our favourite places to swim and eat - Ojo de Agua. We ate lunch on the patio, watched the roaming minstrels entertain the beachgoers, and chatted with them when they came up to the patio afterward. With 2 guitars and a harp, they produce wonderful music.
On the way home, we dropped by the white coati sanctuary (called Tejones in Spanish), which is where many of these lovely creatures congregate early in the morning and at dusk. We have brought fruit with us other mornings, but sadly had none with us this day, but that didn't stop the whole clan from running out for treats, even tho none were available. We felt so badly, so will make up for our gaff tomorrow and take them lots of special treats.
