We do what we do because we love them all and its what is important to us both , the shelter and helping these animals is something we will always do no matter what and the help and kindness of so many others makes it possible

[Anna Tortuga]

A cup of puppy
Who doesn't need a cup of puppy every day?! Every time I think I've seen THE cutest picture y'all put up more. All of the dogs are so adorable. I wish someone would adopt Bambi too...she always looks like she needs an extra hug.

[Pour Favor]

I love the pup in a cup I want to come by and drop off some food for the babies this week so I will call you Andy. I can't believe you are at 70+. I think I may need to choose an new.........Why is Mimi still there? Do tell.

My problem is how do I take a vacation with 2 dogs here in Playa?

We have someone come stay in our house when we're gone, to watch the dogs. Unfortunately we have only one person right now who is "allowed" to stay with them. One of my dogs is very fear-aggressive and it is difficult to introduce him to new people.

Wow, Andy 70 dogs! I will be paypalling you something soon!

Hmmn, "allowed" is an interesting choice of words... I sure hope Tommy doesn't catch onto the idea that he can control who he stays with when we go away

I just realized that Tom, in his everlasting quest to find something in our household to dominate, is only "allowing" certain people to use our bathroom. ??? If you aren't on his list of approved people, he barks and growls REALLY threateningly right out side the door the entire time.- doesn't make for a relaxing experience, as you can imagine. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to who is or isn't on the list, but it's consistent. My one nephew who stays over every once and a while, is NOT ALLOWED and there is no telling Tom otherwise, so we have to keep him downstairs while my nephew is visiting

Tom also has been kicking my father out of the house by barking when he feels my Dad has overstayed his welcome(Dad staying too late was starting to be a problem, until Tom hit on this solution.) And his timing is perfect...as soon as Dad starts raising his voice and arguing politics or it's time for Ally to get to bed, Tom goes into action and dad leaves- w/o the ruffled feathers he tends to get if I usher him out. We know we can't let Tom have this much control from here on in, but it has given me a respite from the right wing commentary lately.
Guess Tom would vote Democratic.

Vieve! That is a riot!
Not so funny if you're on the receiving end I'm sure........but we know who's boss in your house!!

Also want to let everybody know that Lydia has posted my 10 year old daughter Ally's piece about Tommy's adoption in the August newsletter of sac-be.com- thank you Lydia!

Just wanted to share the beginning, because she said such nice things about Andy, Jen and Heather( although it cracked me up that she calls Heather a lady- NOT because you aren't a lady, Heather, but it just sounds too matronly for you!)

Tommy

In the spring of 2007, Andy and Jen, two of the nicest people I’ve ever met, were starting a shelter in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The shelter started because Heather (a really nice lady from playa.info) found a litter of five puppies and their mother in the Mega (grocery store) parking lot. Their names were Holly, Rory, Coco, Bernie, and Tommy. My Mom and I looked at some pictures of Tommy on the internet and we both thought he was adorable. ...see sac-be.com for the rest
