Botas and music.......

Botas at his favourite place - the beach! So we have tried for another year to find him a wonderful furever home, with no success. He is part of the family, but sadly cannot come back to Canada....can you imagine what the cats would have to say......?????

He loves to be with us wherever we go - including in the car......if you are going, I am coming with you.....!!!!

Sometimes (between house cats) he gets to play on the back patio, chase his ball and chew his kong - and he loves to lie on the chaise.......

Sometimes he even gets to come in the house, and no matter it is 34 degrees, he has to sit right up against us. So this summer, as our time to return to Canada fast approaches, we have taken dear Botas to Summer Camp for the next 6 months in the jungle....

This is his new home at Calle 9 in the Urbana, or the jungle area behind our housing area. Carlos is a great guy who is a dog trainer and he also boards dogs while people are away. He used to live right across the street from us, so we got to know him as a neighbour too. He lives on a couple of walled acres with lots of forest, open spaces and several dogs, which will help Botas become better socialized with other dogs. 

We took him out last Thursday, with his bed, his toys, his bowl, and fond farewells, but got to go back again today for a family visit....he is doing well with the other dogs and learning new things. It was hard to leave him, but we know he will be well loved and we look forward to having him home again when we return in the fall.

And last night we went out with Linda and Anna to have supper and listen to some music at the Cantina Habernaro.

Mark Mulligan was performing one of his last shows in PM this season, with help from his friends Susan and Sam. It was a great show - we were all up dancing most of the night. See you in the fall, Mark!
