We made it! Back in Mexico with my lady Godiva. Not easy wheeling two very very heavy carts through the customs, immigration, agriculture inspection (did NOT know about that stop) Oh and I was flagged at customs so they opened my luggage to inspect !
Try wheeling two very heavy carts through the maize in Los Cabos airport. The crate with Godiva weighed 73 lbs! It fell off the cart twice. Poor Godiva in that crate for 10 hours straight!
Thank you Sandy Stambaugh Motter for watching my other babies and picking me up at the airport!
I will sleep well tonight!

Joining us was Dee Chirafisi @ Sandy Stambaugh Motter Laury Bryant and Isabelle Ann Tiberghien members of our local dog-loving community.

Mickey my beloved youngest. He came from the streets of Los Cabos and I am lucky to be his mommy. My documentary “Some Dogs go to Heaven” means we rescue dogs off the streets and find them a great home …. going from hell to heaven. Classic foster failure (me) once again. Thank you Casa Sheila for the privilege of being his mother #somedogsgotoheaven #chiquitasfriends ...

It was a dog day afternoon yesterday aFlora Farm Animalsls.
Highlighting the AMAZING Poppy Lu who was the only survivor of the Brindle puppies found aLa Laguna Hillsls back in November. Kathy Sherryry nursed this little girl back to health even though we both thought since she was the skinniest and sickest she would not make it.
Look at her now!!! Ready for her forever home. Spayed, healthy, sweet, playful she did very well for her first adoption event. I was moved by her quiet and lovely personality.
I loDee Chirafisiity and Dee Chirafisi was the perfect escort to take Poppy Lu and introduce her to potentiaFlora FarmsThank you Flora Farms for hosting this bi monthly adoption event.

You know when life is overwhelming and you focus on stressers instead of blessings?
It’s the simple things like a manicure and Lunch with friends that bring life back into focus. Thank you Aida Trujillo Sandy Stambaugh Motter for the toes in the sand today!
Missing Evaristo Castro Rosas ...
Gal lunch at Club Cascadas De Baja California Sur (my happy place)
Joni Ross Aida Trujillo and Laurie Saunders relaxing and also learning so much from these (powerhouse) ladies about Spaying For Change initiative and their knowledge of the animal rescue world and how it works in Baja. I am in awe of their dedication, knowledge and the progress that has been made since the days of Dr Tapia the first vet I met in 1989 at Cascadas.
I know we feel helpless at times of the cruelty and overwhelming numbers of dogs and cats at risk. But we ARE making a difference.

Rest in Peace my love
She wasn’t just any beagle. She was rescued from a beagle testing laboratory in Georgia at 9 months old. Her ear was tatooed VS because they don’t name the puppies they torture. I always said VS =Very Special.
Love of my life this noisy girl ended her days due to complete kidney failure. All my other dogs were with us as she passed on, listening to my voice, and the Sea of Cortez lapping in the background.
I was so privileged to be chosen as her mother. My heart is broken 💔💔💔💔💔 ...
I was unbelievably privileged to know and work with Evaristo doing Gods work of saving dogs, cats and many other species as well.
If you didn’t get to meet him, you have no idea of the void left in the animal community in Los Cabos.
If you knew Evaristo well, you have my deepest sympathy.
Much love today at Second Chance Ranch as we said our goodbye with the most amazing mass and a choir so beautiful it gave me chills.
God speed my friend. ...
Best Christmas party ever a few years ago at Rocky’s home in Los Angeles. Popped up in my memories. Thanks Kathy Molloy for inviting me along. ...
