This is Chula Swimming in the video below while on vacation with her new family. It makes me so happy to see videos like this, because I know her family Loves her, that was very important to me when I had to find her and 4 other dogs new homes before I came back to the US. I didn’t do it alone, I needed help and got it from San Pancho Animals, Sayulita Animals and A Dog’s New Life
Chula
This is Chula when she was a puppy before she moved to Canada with her new family. We were in San Pancho, Mexico when I took this. She was given to me when she was about 3 months old.
Initially was just going to foster her for a couple of weeks, but she Loved Petey, my other dog, who has also been adopted, I fell in Love with her too, I kept her. She got along very well with my cat Pinta.
Petey
This is my boy Petey, it was very hard letting him go, but I’m happy that he has a Loving new family in Vallarta. I Loved watching him and Chula play. Petey would lay down and let Chula crawl al over him, she would chew on his face and he would lay there and let her.
This shot was taken in San Pancho, Mexico, all the purple leaves are from the Bougainvillea TREE, not bush, it was huge. When they get that big, they start producing a little yellow fruit called Nance or Nanche depending on who you ask. They cover the ground, the kids would come into my yard and pick them all up. They taste good when you first bite into them, but then have weird after-taste.
Chula Swimming
This video and the picture made me very happy, because when sh was a puppy, me her and Petey were walking on the beach, and a wave came up and surprised us, it scared her and she wrapped her leash around my legs, I fell, she was freaking out and Petey just took it in stride…he Loves the waves.
Ever since then, she was scared to go to the beach. So when her new family sends me photos and videos, of her on the beach and swimming, it makes me very happy!
This is the video of her that I just got. They’re at a lake and they take a video of Chula swimming out to her human sister, she bangs a U-turn and swims back.
I’ll add the other dogs soon, this is making me sad, 1. Because I miss them very much and 2. Because I miss Mexico very much. Even though Chula is in Canada, seeing her will always remind me of Mexico and the first 5 years of her life! I am very happy that they all have good homes.
Pirata is still in Mexico, so I’ll get to see her, when I go back. I’m hoping I’ll get to see Petey, because he’s in Puerto Vallarta. I was planning on picking him up when I returned to Mexico, but a young couple fell in Love with him, which is very easy to do…so he’s with them now. I’ll be returning with my cat Pinta, whom I got from Sayulita Animals when she was about 2 or 3 months old.
This is a post from when I went to Mexico in August 2011 to find a house to rent in either Sayulita or San Pancho or who knows. I rented a house for the month of August in Sayulita to look for a house to rent for when I moved there in December, 2011…I found a house in San Pancho that I moved to in December 2011, I was in Mexico until December, 2019, and I will be returning in December 2020. I always seem to move around December/January. There must be some significance to that. Maybe because I was born on the Winter Solstice, Sagittarius on the cusp of Sagittarius/Capricorn…December/January
Hasta Luego!
