Mascotas Nuevas – Peces!

Author: Summer | Filed under: Animals, Pets

Before I moved to Puerto Rico I was into fish-keeping and had 3 fishtanks in my house. When we moved to Puerto Rico I figured it would be too hot in our un-air conditioned house to keep a fishtank from overheating and pretty much struck that hobby off of my list. Lately, we have been [...]

Mas Gallinas! Salmon Faverolle’s and Ameraucanas

Author: Summer | Filed under: Animals, Pets

After building a chicken coop and buying 6 chickens from the local agro last year, we’ve really come to enjoy what the chickens bring to the table. They eat bugs, fertilize the lawn and produce tasty fresh eggs for us to eat. Unfortunately, the agro assured us that the 6 chicks we purchased were all [...]

Shark Attack in Puerto Rico

Author: Summer | Filed under: Animals, Puerto Rico

When we moved to Puerto Rico, I was super stoked to hear that there are “no sharks” here. After hearing that, I did a little bit of research and there are actually sharks in Puerto Rico, but there had never been a shark attack on record and you do not see them in the water [...]

Author: Stefan | Filed under: Animals, Plants

I don’t know if you remember how much work it was for us to maintain our property when we first moved to Rincon, but it was some major work. It is quite possibly just as hard now, but maybe we are just used to working in the yard and have gotten better at it. Also, [...]

Kuta Gets Naked

Author: Summer | Filed under: Animals, Pets

Kuta has a pretty thick coat, which is no bueno in the heat of Puerto Rico. Before I left for San Diego, we tried to shave him, but our clippers were too dull. So, when we got back a month later, he was a stinky, wooly mammoth. I just got the new clipper blades in [...]

The Cat, The Rat and the Aftermath

I am not sure how to start this blog, because I have a story to tell, that someone told me. Here’s his story: His cat, Ham, cruised in through the cat door of his house with a mouse in his mouth a couple weeks ago in the middle of the night. Hammy, with the mouse [...]
