I'll update on the saga of the strays and puppies soon.
Suffice it to say that so far they're doing well.
I haven't been taking my camera on walks so here are a few shots of home life.
Days have been mercifully uneventful.
Sugar and daughter Minya are the center of attention.
Sugar is the least graceful cat I have ever met!
It's only a matter of time until I get video of her falling off of something.
She is also a loudmouth!
It's easy to be the center of attention here -just eat something.
3 spotted dogs, Pete, Gracie and Archie.
Beautiful Shirley loves her toys.
Miles and Zasu have seen a lot together-
from Pittsburgh, to Portland, to the Yucatan.
Brothers Pete and Steve asleep by my desk.
When they're awake they are in constant competition.
One of the palm trees has started to produce coconuts.
The bees love it!
The pitayas produced 2 gorgeous fruits.
We ate one and left one for the birds.
Large mantis on a 'mother of thousands' plant.
Both are awesomely creepy.
Tori at rest.
Bette in grass.
Lucy after a swim.
Miles and Lucy, old friends.
Puddle crossing.
Henry and Linda.
Linda!
Xmul and Hazel play chase.
Steve comes to say hi to me, while everyone else watches the Xmul show.
Xmul takes a break, Mo spots me.
Back to playing ...Xmul and Hazel face off.
Xmul takes a color coordinated break with little Murci and Steve.
Murci is nearly full grown and almost old enough to be spayed.
Lots of energy, lots of attitude!
A battalion of dragonflies laid waste to the mosquitoes.
Hot little dogs on a morning walk.
A picture that captures Tori's enthusiasm for water.
Steve, Lex, Hazel and Tori play with their favorite toy.
Miles, Henry, Blue and Bette patrol the grounds of the beta site.
Lovely PuppyG.
Zasu watches Tori and Greta swim with Sean.
She prefers to wade belly deep.
4 funny girls -Molly, Tuesday, Twiggy and Monkey.
Shirley takes a break from lizard hunting.
I love that face!
Large, used political banners are cut up and resold as tarps.
We've stapled them to the screened porch to keep the rain out.
Reggie teases Henry. Such a little brother.
Everybody say kibble! Group shot on the porch.
Zasu, Mega, Reggie, Tuesday and Pete.
Our pal Xmul has come back to stay for a few months.
We missed her!
I think Zoot missed her the most.
Zoot, Xmul and Steve play at dusk.
Our resident stingless bees keep busy in the moringa.
They've had plenty of company.
A squirrel cuckoo (Kip Cho in Maya).
hummingbird (Dzunum)
hooded oriole (Yuyum)
An odd shot: moringa, bee and grackle.
As of New Year's eve, Miles Monroe has been with us 9 years!
Miles and Eve on a recent walk.
Ernie joined us in December of 2008.
He has mellowed a bit since then.
Linda and newbie Hazel are always full of enthusiasm.
Tito, Hazel, Henry ...and Miles.
Hazel and some of theTribe.
The last Saturday of 2012:
Tito, Linda, Henry, Reggie and Hazel.
