Daisy and Judy’s Last Adventures

Then, Then Although we (Judy and Daisy) have had many adventures in the past three days, not many photos were taken. Yesterday, we went shopping at an outside shop that sold Mexican blouses with Judy’s friend Blue. Daisy sat tied to a post and watched this guy having his lunch as the ladies shopped.

Then we went to a restaurant by the lake in Chapala. At the restaurant, Daisy shared a bit of Judy’s chicken. Then her leash released and when she ran out of the outside cafe, the couple sitting at the table closest to her jumped up and ran after her.  We didn’t even know these people. So kind. Daisy tried to tell them she was coming right back and Judy knew this, but ran after her as well.  She only made it about 4 feet beyond the restaurant. Blue fell in love with Daisy and said if Judy couldn’t find her family, that she would like to adopt her. She was the third person to say this. She is a popular girl!!!

This morning, when Miguel came to give Judy her weekly massage, Daisy demanded and received her own! She was much pleased. I think Miguel fell in love with her as well.

Then, a happy ending. This afternoon, Judy’s across the street neighbor, saw one of Judy’s signs and recognized Daisy as the dog of her friends. She called her friends and when Judy didn’t answer her phone because she was driving, she told them Judy’s address and they came and reclaimed their girl!

I am going to miss her sweet company, but so glad she’s back in another place where I’m sure she is much loved.

Note: Daisy is just the name I gave her so I’d have something more endearing than “hey, Pup!” to address her by. I asked the two young men who came to claim her what her name was. They told me, but unfortunately I’ve already forgotten. My house feels emptier without her…Sweet dreams, Daisy!

Last on the Card, Jan 31, 2025

Please Click on photos to enlarge.

I am so happy that it is “Last on the Card” time again. I took these three photos and could not figure out what category they’d fit into…until Forgottenman reminded me it was time for Bushboy’s Last on the Card prompt.

I had never seen this  butterfly before. It was sitting on the ledge above Morrie’s cage and I saw it when I was giving them their morning meal. It seemed not to be able to fly. I tried gently moving it to make sure the feet weren’t stuck to the ledge and also carefully spread its wings a bit to make sure they weren’t stuck together by cobwebs or some other environmental danger. I then took it out and put it on a plant and never saw it again. I hope it flew away. It is a Smyrna blomfildia, The Blomfild’s beauty, a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae  and among other locales, is found from Mexico down to Panama. Beautiful markings.

As for the other photos, if you look carefully, you’ll see what has captured Morrie’s interest. They remained like this for some minutes. No barking, only occasional meowing. I had already fed them both so don’t know what other than curiosity caused Ollie to come and observe us from the roofline.

The silhouette of the trees and bougainvillea was actually the last on the card, so had to include it.  The others were second and third to last.

Calm Bunny For Cellpic Sunday

I spotted this rabbit who seemed unspooked in spite of the constant barking of a dog in the background. Then I noticed why the rabbit, unlike the dog, was unperturbed.

Meet Annie

Heeeeeere’s Annie!  Garbed in her new collar and i.d. tag. Today she learned not to be scared in a room with 5 people in it,  learned how to play with her sisters and brother, discovered she preferred cat food to the very expensive puppy food my vet sold me, discovered she liked chewing on the corners of rugs, and decided she is only secure when her new mom is in the room or in the yard with her. May create problems. Tomorrow I’ve hired her a babysitter. She’ll go stay with Yoli, Yolanda’s daughter, while I go to Brad’s for lunch and then to an art show at the new Riberas Art Center.

P.S. She looks big here, but she is really tiny. Less than 2 kilos. Here is a photo of her next to a 12 inch ruler. She prefers sleeping on the floor to sleeping in her cushy bed. Perhaps she smells Zoe on the cushion and wants her own?

Morning Offering: Favorite Photos from the Past! Now show me yours….

Rooting around in old photos, I found another favorite. This was a friend’s dog. I was staying in the guest casita behind their house and every morning her sweet dog would bring me a gift.
