First thing before I forget:   I already reported the thread from ANNZ, which is asking for money, don't bother opening it,,, please don't respond to it.


*****************************************


It was a nice trip.  We waited til we got to the airport to eat breakfast and tried a new place there , it was really nice: a great way to start our trip.  Flight was nice but noisy,, loaded with kids,  must have been 25 tots and babies on that flight.


Ds came to pick us up that was a real treat for us,, got huge hugs .  He took us over to the car place so we could pick up our car and then we came home after doing a bit of grocery shopping.  To our surprise Coffee was here waiting for us... actually she must have thougth it was ds coming to pick her up, so when I opened the door she kind of stopped short and then lurched thru the air into my arms: gee such a homecoming,, first hugs from ds and then attack hug and licking from diva.    She stayed over night and today and ds picked her up at 4pm so we can go out tongiht.   Perfect.   Everything is in order except my rose bushes on the balcony, they died .... oh well. 


Today I walked the girl and noticed some piles of white powder all over the place and then when I walked down to my mani/pedi I noticed more strategically placed piles,, so am thinking the city is ridding the place of street dogs again....  I plopped coffee in the tub when we got back so in case she licks her feet.... heaven forbid.  Anyways,,, had a great day.


Just wanted to let you know.

Such a nice greeting you got. I am glad you wash Coffee, what is it they put down for the stay dog? Glad you are back home with your family.

Good to hear you're safely tucked back into your haven again! Geez, Coffee's no light weight little doggie anymore. If she'd lept into my arms like that, I would have fallen down!! You are strong woman!! LOL!!


Scary about the white powder. So, it was the town that "took care of" the stray dogs last time? Sounded like it was some "concerned citizen" so to speak. Do they put out notices beforehand so people can protect their pets? Of course if they did, you weren't there to get them though.


By this time, you must be out to dinner or just home from dinner. Have a nice time? What did you eat? Dessert?


That's too bad you lost your rose bushes. While we were gone on vacation, we lost two of our three

I am always on the vigil for suspicious looking things that Coffee might eat,, she is like a street vacummer... so my walks with her, while I love taking her out, are not exactly leisure as I have to be watching her every second. I have no idea what that powder is, it may not even be poison for the street dogs but I can't take any chances.
