I went out last night with 3 dogs to pick up some fried chicken for a couple of meals. The selection was poor, but cheap, because there wasn't a lot of meat on the back pieces. Therefore, a lot of it went as a treat to the dogs.
Later I took the usual group of 4 dogs, Turi, Princesa, Buddy and Rocas, for our usual night walk. They are so good and they are so anxious to go out, the smiles I get in their excitement is heartwarming.
I went out after lunch today to try catch Tom Thumb and the other usual birds, but they weren't cooperative, and Tom did not show up at all. Our dogs love to lounge a little in the sun, but are smart enough to keep it short. Even dogs can get sunburned.
But looking up to the sky is usually good for a few shots and the sudden appearance of a paraglider, who probably launched above Roldanillo, over 30 kms away was a bonus.
Paragliders are probably practicing for the upcoming competition, Copa de las Americas, Feb 3-9. I am making plans to go again with our vet, John, as we have done before....
The clear, wonderful blue sky itself beckons to be recognized...
Sofi, Lorena's daughter, and Cristina's adopted niece is here visiting again. She and Cristina will soon be taking poor little Princesa to the Vet for treatments on her eyes again, but also on her poor teeth which have abcesses causing incredible halitosis. Hope they solve both problems.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Buzzards are always around
