| PARQUE LAZARO CÁRDENAS - SÁBADO |
Sandra, a category three hurricane, had been forecast for Thanksgiving, but only a drizzly rain arrived. More drizzle on Friday, but temperatures hovered slightly above eighty degrees and it was humid. Saturday was gray and warm and a perfect day to visit the weekly market at Lazaro Cárdenas Park and pick up tickets across the street at Daiquiri Dick´s for the Pet Picnic next week.
The market is great for wonderful produce, food items, clothing (am partial to Lara´s white cotton and linen pieces and Zoe´s adorable girls´dresses and straw hats) and handicrafts. I love the whimisical stuffed wool animals and embroidered clothing from Chiapas,
and the beautiful handmade brooms and brushes in all sizes by Jean Hnytka of Escobas Artesanales de Mexico. Gepetto´s is the homemade cat and dog food that I´m tempted to feed to my husband because it looks so good and sounds and is so healthy. Our dogs and cats are crazy for it.

| CLÍNICA GRATIS DE CALLE CERO EN JUAREZ, MÉXICO |
Paulina Stettner, former director of PEACEAnimals, and now director of Calle Cero, posted photos of their free clinic in Ciudad Juarez. Calle Cero is a free spay/neuter program headquartered in Guadalajara. Last summer, my husband and I went to their very successful national program launch in Tlacquepaque, followed by Mexico City several weeks later. The most recent one took place in Ciudad Juarez. Hundreds of cats and dogs were sterilized in each of these three locations.

Due to
non-sterilization and a lack of education, there are thousands of homeless cats
and dogs living on the streets in Puerto Vallarta. There are many hundreds waiting to be adopted
in foster homes, sanctuaries and the
Centro de Acopio. If you can foster an
animal, have found a cat or dog, or would like to adopt a cat or dog, Please

BEACHES - BOCA NEGRA VS. PUNTA NEGRA: Last week was a slip of the lip and when a reference was made to the long stretch of beach as "Boca Negra." The great swimming and body surfing beach is Punta Negra. I made the correction right away on the FaceBook blog, but the version that went out on MailChimp could not be corrected. Sorry!
