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, PetsAfter 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 [...]
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 [...]
Baby Chickens, Brave Roosters and Rainstorms
Author: Stefan | Filed under: Animals, Landscaping, WeatherI’ve said it before, but I’m not sure if I said it here. The summer time in Puerto Rico to me is all about work, fresh fruit/vegetables and planting. This weekend was a great weekend. I got tons of yard work done, Summer and I planted a bunch of new plants and we got dumped [...]
Rincon Horses Like Banana’s and Palm Trees
Author: Stefan | Filed under: Animals, PlantsI 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, [...]

Summer and placed 3rd and 4th respectively and came home around 11:00pm. I went to bed and Summer was hanging with the dogs. Around 2:30am the dogs started flipping out, [...]
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 [...]
We have two new additions to the CA2PR family! Check out the momma horse and 3 month old baby horse that are now munching and roaming our property: We actually have these two cute horses on loan from a friend (they needed a bigger place to stay and we needed some lawn mowers), and I [...]
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 [...]
Summer and I came home from Poker last night and Kuta wasn’t here. We looked for him last night and I have been walking and driving around the neighborhood calling his name all morning but haven’t found him yet. If you see Kuta, please call us or email us. Kuta came home…he isn’t missing anymore! [...]
