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 can’t [...]

Cheech has been very very busy working around the property when he isn’t sleeping. Apparently, he has one job: Killer
Cheech has been bringing home (he stashes all of his prizes in the guest bed and bath) frogs, geckos, lizards and birds on the regular basis. A few of the lizards he brought back were pretty [...]

Stefan and I woke up this morning to find that Monkey’s nose has stopped bleeding! It has been bleeding for 3 days now, and it started bleeding again after her trip to the vet, which was quite concerning, but today, it has stopped and she is very happy about that!
When Stefan 1st told me that [...]

Chichieto was having a flashback from the night we almost ran him over, so I snapped a couple of pictures:

Extreme close up!! Cheech, buddy, are you okay??!!
Don’t worry, he snapped out of it…

I am so sick of ticks. Stefan and I could pick ticks off of Kuta and Monkey, all day long.
Literally. We spend at least a few hours a week, yanking those little blood suckers off of our poor pups. And, it’s not like we don’t try and protect our dogs, it’s just that nothing seems [...]

Without even getting into the DIY projects we have around the house (hanging fans, light fixtures, organizing tools) Summer being gone exemplifies to me that it definitely takes teamwork to take care of this house. Man, who’s idea was it to build such a big house?
Kuta and Monkey do a really good job scaring [...]

Cheech has really taken to hunting and has been leaving us daily presents of lizard remains:
Have you seen my body?!
Thanks a lot, little Chichieto.

It really is so cute how our little animal family is getting along. Kuta, Monkey and Cheech follow Stefan and I around the property while we are out and about and I swear that Cheech thinks he is a dog. We could literally walk him on a leash because he just wants to cruise around [...]

Today I sent the check off to the Animal Rescue Foundation of Rincon. As promised, I matched any donations made and the total sent was $240. I know that ARF has been having problems staying open due to lack of funds, so hopefully this will help at least a little bit.
If you’d still like to [...]
