When Archie is not playing with his friends he is at home taking his job as watch dog a little too seriously barking at his own (human) brother and sister as they come and go as teenagers do. Archie's favorite time of day is when his Mom arrives home from her job. She is often greeted with a 360 tail wag. After dinner and a walk it is cuddle time with Mom and Dad. |

Chuy Chuy is a rescue dog found roaming the organic farm near Tijuana called Suzies Farm. Tanya and Jon went to pick up their CSA basket of food and discovered that this dog was eating from the farm land. When the original owner identified himself he told the farmers he could no longer support the dog and he was free to go to a new home. Tanya and Jon happily accepted Chuy as their new family member. At first, Chuy didn’t even know how to eat out of a food bowl, he was so used to pulling carrots and other vegetables from the ground. Unfortunately the vet did not know how old or what breed Chuy was. The vets best guess was that Chuy was 1 or 2 and that he appeared to be a Havanese Shitzu. We all laughed when we put it together that Chuy was a HavaShit. Chuy is quite the lazy boy and loves to held or worn in Tanya’s baby bijorn. He also is quite good now at eating out of his food bowl. |

Katu When Katu adopted me 11 years ago, there was a hole in my heart. Several months before, the beloved cat of my late parents had died. Perhaps Katu sensed this connection to my parents was severed and that I was alone. Katu had been adopted by my neighbors, but she was unhappy in their busy household of two dogs and an aggressive cat. Consequently, my neighbors were delighted that Katu had started flirting with me in a play to change homes. Gentle and sensitive, Katu helped me recover from loss. |
