New life in the palm tree.
Two chicks, days before they left their impressively engineered nest.
One less friend. Our Twiggy was suffering from multiple health problems and had a rapid decline. This is one of the last pictures of her, fittingly between her sister/rival Xmul, and Xasu who helped raise them both.
JoJo, Rose and Rocky have been spayed, cones are off, and stitches are out. Not a moment too soon for us; they were dangerous with those things on!
Rose is as big as Xmul now. All 3 of them are.
Xmul, Zasu, June, Murci and Tuesday. Zasu helped raise them all.
She's 20 years old and always in the middle of things.
Excited faces...what could it be? Zasu knows.
Sean found her along the road by herself. She wasn't from any of the nearby houses and she nearly climbed into the Jeep on her own.
1st bath (and an undeniable resemblance to Twiggy).
We're calling her Brooklyn.
Big ears and markings like Twiggy, but not the ornery temperament. We were hoping for a break from the constant influx of dogs (and eventual spayings) but she has made sure we don't regret it by being an absolute sweetheart and the least trouble a puppy can be.
Look at those long legs -she may end up Twiggy-sized. $o much dog food!
Rocky was her size a few months ago.
She and the older pups play all day and half the night, with the occasional nap.
Brooklyn tries to get Monkey to join in... Monkey is not having it.
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.
For some reason black dogs are the least likely to be adopted. I don't know why.
We have many black dogs and I think every one of them is striking.
Jack pauses with some of the gang. He has a beautiful coat.
Lovely Luna is 2 years old.
Posey is 5 and, I think, one of our prettiest dogs.
Her ears don't usually stand up.
Walking with Tito and Miles.
Tito knows that black dogs are the best.
Self-doubt is not his style.
He often pals around with Reggie on walks.
I don't think Tito notices the size difference.
A few of our palm trees succumbed to a blight so we're trying again with something else.
Sean has plenty of supervision. Pete, Zoot and Posey in front.
Frankie has been a happy girl; she loves having visitors.
The Couchsurfers/Helpxers that brought Tori stayed on for a couple weeks.
Kaya gets to know the gang.
Linda watches the ever helpful Kaya fix one of the dog beds.
Tori wants to help.
Twiggy and Tori keep an eye on things while Kaya and Olli paint.
Oliver has been traveling frugally for years.

Olli and Tori.
Dog fun. Jack, Hazel, Amber, Tori, Daisy and Mega
Bette, Lucy and Tori on a walk. There isn't a dog here that doesn't like Tori (her new nickname is Cookie Monster.). She learns quickly and wants to please; it breaks my heart that people thought she was too much trouble. She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met!
Bette and Tori on a salt pile. After a rain they're as hard as coal.
Oliver and Kaya say their goodbyes (Paco, in the background, crows his goodbye).
Thanks so much to you both, for saving Tori, and for all your help around the place!
You're always welcome here.
Linda doesn't understand why everyone can't stay forever.
It has been a little over 2 years since Daisy found us.
Lounging with Mega.
With Frankie.
Many thanks to volunteers Zoe and Mike for all the help!
You guys were great! Twiggy, Linda and Hazel
(in front of the shelves Zoe painted).
Twiggy gives Zoe a goodbye kiss.
Stella, Frankie & Twiggy guard Mike.
Sisters Frijolita, Blue and Osita enjoy a jog.
Sisters Godzilla & Blue check the perimeter of the beta site.
Zasu leads the inspection team.
Four members of the good boys' club ...& Linda.
Jack, Reggie, Archie, Truman ...& Linda.
Twiggy in morning light w/friends.
She and her sisters have been with us 2 years this month.
