Thursday March 31, 2016
Sorry that the camera has seen no action the past few days.  With Cristina's cosmetic surgery, and subsequent post-op care, we have only really been out shopping and not much exciting happening.
Today however we went not far away to a place where they train dogs.  Three brothers rent this location which is a former Italian restaurant with a monster yard bordering a creek or river.   They have lots of fenced off open areas, so far mostly separating dogs by size.
I fell in love immediately with the place itself, the large yard, the shade trees, and the large house with interior courtyard.   It could be a money pit but this was the first property in Colombia that I would consider buying.  No harm in enjoying the visit.
There were many dogs on the premises, including some babies (maybe rottweilers?) and 2 of those were sick so a vet was visiting while we were there.  One of the dogs wanted to play tug-of-war with Cristina's towel and she was loving it.  One young female pitbull was probably the first pitbull that I would consider having...
Then we went shopping for necessities and Cristina finally talked me into buying a pair of runners.  Clothes are definitely better quality and cheaper in Colombia.  I hope I don't have trouble with customs tomorrow....
I hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al

This is the back end of the property next to this river

Hmmm, is that an Ibis???

Looking back to the the front of the property (see the house)

This turkey was strutting his stuff

How much is that GOAT in the window???

Pitbull and a lot of baby Rotties

This poor pup is apparently ill.  We got him out of the sun...

Cristina was enjoying it
