We had four GREAT volunteers yesterday!!!! Delilah, Mieko, Juliette, Laika, Perla, and Lluvia all got baths!!!! They are all teenagers from the states and are down here doing volunteer work!!!
Tomorrow we have 4 more coming.....IF the girls that were here today can't talk them into switching with them. The ones who were here yesterday REALLY want to come back today!!
I'm sure it's because I was such a charmer!!! WAGWAGWAG!!!!
One of them wanted to adopt ALL of us!! WMFWB!!! (waggin' my fuzzy white butt.)

Novi went to the vet today and got worm medicine!! The vet said Nadine can start adding a little soft cat food to her formula cause she's getting TEETH!!!!!
YOU GO NOVI!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU NADINE!!!!!

Dudley (originally Johnny) is back to be baby sitted along with his sister and brother Dahma and Duke!! His casts are off and he is doing really good. It still hurts him when he jumps down off anything. And there is NO way to keep him off things. HE'S A TERRIER after all!!! Mom and Dad are trying to keep him on the floor but there's NO WAY!!!!
He came here as a REALLY tiny puppy with his sister Rosemary. They both got adopted by PERFECT families!!

The valley was full of clouds a couple days ago and it looked like a BIG, SOFT pillow!!! Mom had to take pics of course.

Well....it's almost time for the new volunteers to get here!! PLEASE don't forget to vote!! We can still win this!!!!!

Tailwags!!!

We've got GREAT volunteers!!!!

YAAAAAYY!!!!!!! We finally got things straightened out with Paypal and we've got our donate button back up!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!!! Things have been a little crazy lately so Mom's tired.

We've got two SUPER DUPER volunteers here!!! Rudy was here a few months back and he liked us perros so much he came back down and brought a friend!!!
"Fuz" is an actor and they're both from Hollywood California. Mom says their both "HOT" but they look pretty cool to me!! They don't sweat a lot or nuthin'.

Rudy!!! Fuz!!!!




We all got baths the other day. Rudy and Fuz are pretty good washer people. And us long haired perros all got blow dried.

We're doin' pretty good in the shelter challenge this time!! We have moved into second place and stand to win another $1,000.00 grant!! Our vet bills are now back "under control" and Mom says if we win this grant we can pay them off!!! She gets really excited about payin' things off so I guess it's a good thing.
So y'all be sure to vote every day ok?
Just go to www.animalrescuesite.com and click on shelter challenge. Then type in Lighthouse for the shelter name and click on Costa Rica for the country. Search, and when our name comes up vote for us and wait for the vote confirmation question. It's easy and free!!! All it takes is a few minutes of your time each day til August 22nd!!!

Tailwags and snuggles til next time!!!!

We're Having Company!!!!

Hola Y'all!!!

GUESS WHAT!!!! Aunt Louise and Aunt Jane are coming to visit us all the way from the US!!!
Mom says they are rescue folks just like us so that means they're our kind of people. They're supposed to get here Tuesday and I get to go to the airport with Mom to pick them up!! I'm the official welcomer y'know. That's part of a Perro Primero's job.
Mom says they are bringing lots of supplies for the shelter so maybe they will bring some treats for us perros and gatos too!!!
I'm limbering up my tail real good so I can wag like crazy and Mom's gonna brush my teeth real good so they SPARKLE when I smile!!!




Kerry, (Zulu and Swazi's mom) was so sad about losing Zulu she decided to go back to Canada to be with her family. She hasn't been there in along time and losing Zulu made her realize how important family is. Mom gave Swazi some booties cause she didn't want his feet to get cold way up there in Canada. He was REALLY funny the first time he tried them on. Mom video'd it so y'all can see.

Ya just gotta go watch it!! It's HILARIOUS!!!
All us other perros laughed at him and teased him.

We had a GREAT volunteer last week!! We haven't had one in a long time!!
Her name is Stina and she is real pretty for a human!!!


She is from some place called Sweden. Mom says that is a long ways away. She had to leave yesterday though but we're all hopin' she'll come back to see us someday.
She helped Mom give us all baths cause we had all gotten pretty dirty while Mom was so busy in the earthquake zone. I had to try to keep Milana clean. She is a sweetie and I always want her to look her best.


Y'all should see Tommy!! He is that really skinny kid Mom brought home back in November. He had given up and just didn't want to live anymore. Mom just kept forcing food and meds down him and doin' that subcutaneous fluids thing until he decided he wanted to live after all.
He looks GREAT!!! He lost a lot of weight while Mom was away so much after the earthquake. I guess he was just sad cause Mom wasn't here. He would go dig a hole in the yard and hide in it. When Mom would finally get home at night he wouldn't come when she called. She would have to go hunt him and love on him before he would come back to the house.
But now he is gettin' lots of lovin' and a big "puppy food" special snack every night and he is one happy dog!! He stands up on his back legs and dances when Mom says his name.



Me and Mom want to thank all of you who donated money to help us with the earthquake rescue. Finally we have gotten most all of the animals out. There were a few we couldn't catch though and Mom worries about them. But she says we gave it our all and that is all we can do. We all appreciate the help you folks gave us.

OK...gotta go help Mom bring the clothes in off the line. Will write more later!!!
TAILWAGS!!!!!!!
