We spent a day with an excellent bi-lingual guide visiting the most important architectural sites. Towering temples - one over 230 feet high - palaces, small pyramids and other buildings are all constructed out of limestone, which was quarried on-site.

starts where the black rocks jut out at the end of "Punta Negra" beach (where dogs can be off leash and where there is loads of trash under the large shade tree); and "Garza Blanca."Swimming in the calm, clear peridot green water at Camarónes this week, a
very large manta ray suddenly leaped out of the water very close to
me. It was startling, but the second time it was thrilling.

March 4-8 - 173 cats and dogs!!!
Mezcales is a beach town in the state of Nayarit, approximately 40 minutes north of Vallarta. I drove there on Thursday with all the collars and leashes and vet supplies that Kathy Stein and Karen Hoag had brought down from the U.S. Paulina and the vets were thrilled, and immediately started using the new breathing tubes for dogs. By 9:00 o´clock, the clinic was full and pet owners had to be turned away. "Mona," the mostly Pit Bull I rescued on the highway near Mismaloya, was there with two LADRA volunteers and two more LADRA rescue dogs - "Rodeo" (handsome male German Shepherd mix) and "Chey" (sort for "Cheyenne" - and is a very pretty six-month old female black Lab mix). Even though Mona has been boarded for five months so far at LADRA, she demonstrates great enthusiasm the few times she sees me. These three dogs and many others needs homes. Check out LADRA on FB.

Mateo posted a great recipe for flea baths: DIY ("do it yourself") flea shampoo in equal parts green dish soap, vinegar and water. He puts his mixture in a water bottle with a little "x" cut into the lid, shakes the bottle, applies and then gets the dog sudsy. Fleas die on contact, but most are still attached to the dog so Mateo recommends a good brushing after rinsing off the shampoo.

RESCUED AND NEED HOMES: "Canela," the beautiful Weimaraner found starving on the streets was adopted to a responsible and loving home a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the young woman´s landlord is starting construction on the empty lot, which was Canela´s yard.
There is no space for her in the small house, so Bonnie Jauregui, one of the owners of the beautiful Rancho Primavera in el Tuito, will foster her. Canela has been assigned three different ages by three different vets: 4 years old, 5 years old and 7-8 years old). She is vaccinated for parvo and distemper and is spayed, housebroken, leash trained, good with people and other dogs and curious about cats. Canela shows early signs of hip dysplasia. She is a lovely dog - gentle, affectionate and intelligent. Please contact Bonnie if interested in meeting Canela: bonniejauregui@gmail.com

"Coyu," an 8-week old male tabby. Shannon Beston, regular rescuer and cat feeder on the Isla Cuale said she had seen two small kittens in one of the closed shops on the island.
Walking my dogs there on Monday, I saw one of the two kittens, and with the help of two teen-age boys, managed to lift up part of the cyclone fencing covering the window and pull him out. The kitten, named "Coyu" by Soraya, is now available for adoption at Puro Gato (contact via FB). His sibling is still trapped inside.
Shannon said she had counted five pregnant feral cats on the island between the two car bridges. They will be very difficult to catch.
On Tuesday, Adriana Logue, who is another daily cat feeder on the island, caught two tame kittens, one of which was up a tree. They are in Puro Gato´s care and for adoption. Soraya has named the grey and white female "Candy" and the black and white male "Crush." Contact Puro Gato via FB if interested.
