New picture of Rex Grosman - he needs a home!!!

Kona's new foster brother :)

Meet Rex Grosman :) because Rex Grossman wouldn't fit on his name tag!!!

He is about 6 months old, shepherd and lab mix. He is very sweet and LOVES his people. He knows sit and we are working on stay, wait and down. He is very food motivated, obsessed you might say! But not protective or aggressive over his food. I hold his bowl for him because he eats so fast and the bowl scrapes across the floor! He is mostly housebroken, once he figured out to go on the grass. He is not super submissive as we first thought. He was bitten in the dog pound, so he has a sore on his little ear, but I cleaned it up and it is improving. He knows that Lucy is the boss, but still tries to push the limits with timid little Kone Man :) He loves belly rubs and likes to be right next to his people. He lays on my feet when I get ready in the morning! But he is also pretty agile and gets out of the way easily. He plays really well with Kona too.

Rex Grosman needs a new home! Would YOU like to meet him?

Please leave a comment if youwant me to call or email you!!!

Leeza update

From Leeza's mom:


Leeza is doing very well. She has made remarkable progress. She now is working on her homework. This had been a struggle. The best I can tell is that she just wasn't ready to address school work, until she felt safe & comfortable in her family. When she was ready though, it was all systems go. She is doing well in phonics, reading & multiplication. Subtraction still puzzles her, as do rhymes. I'm not quite certain why on the rhymes. I'll have to have her start reading Dr Seuss. She won student of the month last month, due to her efforts in class, as well as her good behavior.
Every now & then her wicked sense of humor shines through. The other day I scolded, because the girls had not told me they used up the bread. I told her next time it was almost gone, she must tell me. She right away sing songs to me, "Mo om, the bread is gone." for which she got a good tickling!

Whale watching in Mexico

I think this was the only whale tail we actually saw.....

I know my horizon is not straight, the boat was really rocking! But I like how this picture shows how close the whales were......up until our whale actually came up and let us touch him! (Deb had THOSE pics, I didn't do a good job taking her photo....OOOPPPS!)

On our boat the Tonina (it is a kind of little whale)

The boat docks

A lighthouse in Guererro Negro

Debbie looking at some poor sick pups eating a dead bird. They really were not looking good. It makes me so sad.....

Old boat and building near the lighthouse

Near the lighthouse. This was actually a bird sanctuary area.

Cardon cactus near Catavinia

Starbucks in the middle of nowhere Mexico

Adorable little girls selling bracelets and "eye of God" hanging things. They said "pllleeeeaasssee" How could you say NO? Some people did......NOT ME!!!!!!!!! Wanted to bring this littlest one home!

Mama Espinosa's

Maria, our wonderful Tour Guide gave us these beautiful Valentine's marshmallow candies. Some one she knew made them FOR US! It was a wonderful trip and I was just amazed at the things the Mexicans wanted us to have....this candy, homemade tamales. And I don't think Maria BOUGHT these things, I think they just wanted us to have them :)

Little boys playing soccer

Our room in Ensenada (I think....Debbie has all of them, I tried to save my batteries for the WHALES!)

A sign in our bathroom at one of the hotels and my new motto!

Our whale name tags!

Our "liquids" the first night! I couldn't handle my Margarita and gave it to Deb!
