Walking through the desert on our way to the beach in the mornings, when we look behind us, this is what we see - the whole pack of street dogs following us.
Dan, the dog-whisperer
BeeGee and Barky Boots
The 3 amigos are never far from each other. SBD is usually off by himself chasing birds, but these three stick together.
Taz was worried about the pack at first, but now she realizes that none of them are interested in her ball. Even if it lands right in front of one of them, they don't bother with it. If it's not edible, they don't want it.
It's my job to sort the shells on the beach. This is the purple section (for you, CJ)
I never come home from the beach empty-handed. I always have a pocket full of treasures. This was a good day. Unusual coloured sea glass and sand dollars!
We had a few days of stormy weather. I love the sea on those days!
Latitude 31 is one of our lunch stops.
Apparently, it isn't anybody else's - we've never seen another customer.
WooHoo!! Victor (our next door neighbour) is home! Cookies and belly rubs for everybody! The street dogs and Victor love each other. He's especially fond of Stupid Brown Dog (please don't tell him we call him that) who he calls Chocolate. Of course with the Spanish pronounciation it's Chock o lattay. A few months ago he took him to the vet and spent a fortune getting his broken leg casted.
We usually head out to the Las Conchas area for our afternoon walks because the beach there is nice and "sidewalk-y". Lots of nice homes in that neighbourhood.
I'm guessing this one was built some time in the 60's and was probably ultra-modern and "out there" at the time. It has a space age-y Jestson's look don't you think?
Taz asking that her treat ball be filled, por favor.

Nice purple shells-I didn't find any when I was in Mexico. Pretty sand dollars too! Are you bringing them home? That chocolate dog reminds me of our old Megan-lab dog! I made a Mexico photobook online at Walmart and it was ready in an hour, then she told me I could do it from home and forward it (after I stood there for 2 hours one night)!!
geWhat fun going to the beach and with your own personal security force. I think those dogs would have your back. Love the shells. We never see shells like that in Maui. maybe there are too many tourists. I need you here, I am getting an Iphone, I think that's what it is !!
No Connie, Megan was a sweet-looking girl, this bruiser is a scary mutt. Oh, and did I mention STUPID??
Congratulations on your book! I can't wait to see it! Too bad about learning the hard way how to do it. Oh well, you'll know next time. And if you want purple shells, you'll have to come and get them.
Debbie, I'm not sure how much help the dogs would be to me, but I think they would intimidate anyone who was thinking of approaching me. I feel quite safe wandering around the desert by myself with my "gang". You're gonna love your iPhone! And you have what? 9 grandchildren? One of them can help you with it. (Not that you'll need help - it's very user friendly)
I haven't seen that many purple shells here, I must be looking in the wrong place!
The purple shells are on Mirador beach - and easy to find now that they're all together!
