Just wanted to say that I thought Dylan Bell did a great job today at the spay and neuter clinic. When I was there she was organized, calm and very helpful. Thanks Dylan. Everyone I saw there was doing a great job. It was a long day and awesome how much care and love the animals received.

Mexican Oysters - submitted by Rick Harris

A big Texan stopped at a  local restaurant following a day  roaming around in Mexico . While sipping  his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?"

The waiter replied, "Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those  are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from  the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!"

The cowboy said, "What the heck, bring me an order."

The waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy."

The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.
After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday."

The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied,
"Si,Senor. Sometimes the bull wins."

Wanted Good Home for Puppy
This photo is of the cutest, calmest, most affectionate little dog I have ever met.  She is 2 1/2 months old, has been spayed (yesterday), and is looking for a new home.  Will remain a very small dog, some type of Chihuahua cross.  Not
yappy.
Her name is Milagrosita and she lives in La Colonia with a nice family that has too many dogs. Contact
hearob@island.net as the owner (Cecelia) does not speak English or have e-mail.

Horseback Riding Tours of the Area
Want to explore the back hills by horseback? Then these are the tours for you. The tours are scheduled on Fridays beginning on November 24 or can be arranged privately for a group.
Everyone meets at the crucero of the 200 and Ursulo Galvan.  we then take a drive through the farming country to the Rancho Guadalupe for a wonderful breakfast of Mexican tacos. Make your own fresh tortillas if you want.  We then meet our horse friends for the day and begin the trip.
We have designed both easy and semi difficult trips depending on people's desires.  The easier trips are a combination of farmlands, riverbeds and roads, lots of scenery and plant and animal life. These trips are from 2 to 3 hours long. The more difficult trip consists of roads, farmlands, and trails which lead up and over a ridge and down to the river and waterfalls and pools.  Somewhat arduous in places but if a person is somewhat familiar with horses, it shouldn't be a problem.  It is lengthy however lasting about 2 and a half hours one way to the cascadas and 2 hours for return.
Upon return we are greeted by a traditional Mexican lunch.  Beer and frescas are available for purchase.
The cost of the trips are 300 pesos for the shorter trips and 400 pesos for the long trip. People should wear long pants and socks.  Bring sunblock and bug dope,  any kind of snacks for the trail, water, camera and binocs.
Organize your own group at least 2 days in advance - Minimum of 4 people and a Maximum of 8. For questions and reservations contact garydorisstackhouse@hotmail.com
 
We never share or sell our email lists. All names and addresses remain confidential.
