Another day of beautiful weather, it is kinda cloudy cause of Rick, but all in all, we are in Mexico so who can complain. We really didn’t do much today, just kinda chilled. We are sad these past few days, Big Dog hasn’t eaten for a few days and will only lay on the rug in our bedroom, coming out when Ross brought some meat home but going right back into the bedroom again. Big Dog is going on 16 and has been taking glucosamine twice a day for a few years for his arthritis but will not take his pills anymore, we think he is just about done. He is healthy otherwise and has bright eyes and loves being loved but lays down I think knowing that these are his last days. He has been such a good and happy dog these past 14 – 15 years he has been with us enjoying the lake and loved to lay down in the shallows to cool off. We so hate to see him go, but we know he has had a good life and everyday is now an extra day!

Mike and Nick is over and has been over since about 3 (it’s now 8) to play with Ross. Nick plays guitar and Mike bass and they want to record some originals. We had a bit of a break and had some very good Mama Lucia tequila so they are feeling much better now and they are playing some Pink Floyd and some other good stuff. Me, I’m typing my blog being a good girl?!?!?!? I have had some very good wine………………….Tequila…………… Mike and Nick have invited us to, I think, a jam session with hamburgers and stuff tomorrow afternoon so we showed them how to get back to the 200 and then followed them to ? Esmeralda (I can’t remember if it is Point or Lake or something else entirely) so I think we are going to go.

Well it’s Monday morning the sky is very grey, it’s only 28 degrees outside (It’s 9:30am) with 82% humidity. Do you think it’s gonna rain????? Hurricane Rick is sure screwing up our weather! I’m up early because we are having another meeting at Sue’s house in regards to the adoption of the animals. I’m supposed to be there at 10:00, right now I’m drinking coffee outside (it’s sprinkling) and it is a relief not to be so hot and sticky. Shadow is the only brave one outside with me the rest are in the lovely air conditioning of the bedroom, along of course, with Ross.

Big Dog isn’t doing very well. He hasn’t been eating very much and won’t even take his glucosamine which he normally takes like a treat. We think that he is getting ready to go to the rainbow bridge. The day will be sad, but he has had such a life! Running around the lake with buddy and Kayla and now Gracie, going to the ocean in Vancouver and here not knowing why it tastes different than the lake. He has seen many sights and has had many years of growing up, then old, now ready for the next step. Boy it sure is hard. His back legs can’t carry him much anymore they are wobbly and look disjointed and painful to walk on. But, ya know, when another dog got into the house last night (actually I let her in, she is a street dog but so loveable) he sure got up and came into the living to show this is his house!

Well, gotta get to Sue’s house for 10 so I’ll say goodbye for now and I hope everyone has a great day!

Ross and Kim in paradise!
