"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains."
Ok, it hasn't really been that bad, I just loved Ray Bradbury as a kid!
No hurricanes or typhoons so I've got little to complain about.

Helpxer Martina stayed and helped out for a few weeks. A thoroughly uncomfortable season to visit, but Linda and Stella are always happy to have a new friend!
Because of Martina chatting with a few soldiers at the base near us, we were able to have a dog that lives there spayed. Unsurprisingly, she also had Ehrlichiosis. Fortunately, one of the soldiers agreed to give her the necessary antibiotics everyday for 3 weeks. Hurray, she is now healthy and infertile! Thanks Martina, for everything!
Also, thanks to the people who have donated, through Martina as well as online. Funds went towards a spaying, antibiotics and a new large bottle of
Ivermectin. Enough for hundreds of injections!
Crazy-eyed Pete claims a toy Martina brought.
Good girls coming home on a morning walk -everybody cross the road together.

Zogoflex.
I can't say enough good things about their products!
Most toys don't survive a week, but the Zogoflex toys are still fine nearly 2 years later ...and they float ...and are made of recycled materials!

An injured young cormorant came to our gate a few days ago. It couldn't fly and seemed to calmly be asking for assistance. This is why it bothers me when people speed by in their vehicles. It's a beach road, there is a lot of wildlife! Slow down!
The bird wasn't thrilled about having to go into a crate, but Sean insisted then took it to
Semarnat to be treated and released.
This darling mamacita is always hanging around near our house. We've grown very fond of her! We've treated her for ticks/fleas and given her an injection of birth control. It should keep her from getting pregnant for 6 months to a year; the poor girl needs a break! Over the couple of years we've known her, she is usually pregnant or trailing puppies.
She's a great little dog. I'm guessing that she's 3 or 4. We would love to find her a loving home!
Nice dogs, nice light, random shot.
Too many to name, Hazel in front.
