Our amigo in La Manzanilla, Julie, who with her husband Rusty runs a huge save-the-animals project called Cisco's Amigos, found the pooch for us, provided us with the medicines he would need and eventually hooked us up with the Mexican family that had adopted 'Lucky' temporarily, at least until some family like us took him in.
Lucky?
That was the name the vet gave him: Lucky to have been adopted.

Lucky, our friend Julia told us, is a labrador retriever for the most part. But even a casual glance at the shape of the head tells you that while Lucky might have a pint or two of lab in him, this boy probably has strong ties to the Rottweiler family.
Grrrrrrr.....
Still, as we want Lucky to be a watchdog for the property, that's fine, provided he doesn't eat our amigos Chena and Chon's tiny dogs.
Or any of the neighbors' kids.
Grrrrrrr.....

In addition to getting a pooch, we came back to the property today and were pleasantly surprised by activity on three fronts: The ramada was being moved over the new trailer, the bathrooms are being plumbed and the tile guy showed up late in the day and will start first thing tomorrow to lay out the tile.
First thing?
I am not getting up early to make sure everything is set for him. I did that already today and he didn't show until 4 p.m.
It was amazing today to watch the guys working entirely by hand, lifting and toting and digging and eventually hauling big guayabito wood posts around and setting them into the ground.
The rumor on the property - which we have now dubbed The Pink Flamingo - is that the ramada project will be finished in a couple of days.
Another Arroyo Seco milagro - if it happens.
