I regret the lack of updates this year. Stress and depression have sucked the life out of me. I'm mustering all my oomph to cover the basics.
Halloween 2021 brought us Pumpkin, thanks to the concern of Roger and Chris (way up North at Playa Maya). She was in rough shape, emaciated, mangy and with more mouth polyps than I've ever seen in a dog.
Poor girl on day one. Greetings from Reina and Lenny.
After a few days she was already looking less bony and mangy.
Look at that pretty face.
Within months she was barely recognizable and had a passel of playmates.
Valentine's day Pumpkin.
Rita passed Dec 7 2021. Our beautiful girl had a life plagued by allergies and immunity issues. Fun, smart and beloved, she follows her parents and all but one of her siblings.
Sisters Rita, Bean and Posey.
Sweet Molly died unexpectedly on Xmas eve 2021, a difficult way to end the year. An old shot of her galumphing in the salt flats.
We said a final goodbye to PuppyG Jan 2 2022, a difficult way to begin the year. Old shot of her leading Molly and gang on a walk.
Goodbye to our good friends PuppyG (nee Gowron) and Rita.
One of the last shots I have of PuppyG, getting some sun with Xmul.
Carter turned one and loves Pumpkin.
Lex watches Pumpkin play with Carter.
Sweet boy Lex passed in November. 2011-2022
Old shot of Lex and his sister Amber.
Dec 07 2022 we said goodbye to Posey.
She was the last of Gracie's pups.
Old shot of me and Posey.
My pal Otto 2007- Dec 2022
Recent shot of Otto sleeping surrounded by his pack.
The year wasn't all loss, we gained two new pals. Buttons turned up during a thunderstorm in June. She is full grown and had recently weened pups.
This mangy potato appeared in July, setting off a cycle of mange in the pack that took months to eradicate! Little jerk.
I kid, he's swell! Fang has grown into a handsome fellow and we've all recovered.
Trying to get the newbies in one shot is a challenge.
Fang and Buttons on the last day of 2022.
Happy New Year !!
