3 dumb gringos get mange?

I had planned on taking pictures on the walk I took tonight, but after this one the batteries ran out. Looking back at our street and the ice cream store.

Well, it's countdown to Rhonda now! She's coming on Monday, or else we are going to pick her up in Phoenix on Sunday. There's a big book sale, and my uncle Peter will be in Phoenix by then, so we'll have a place to stay. But we needed a place to have Shadow stay, and his friend Baron and owner Ron are still in the US.

There's a lady here who has 7 dogs (she rescues street dogs, nice lady), and she would take him for a reasonable amount. We went to visit today, and left Shadow for about an hour. He was excited when we got back, but not overwhelmed. We might leave him there so we can do this Phoenix trip.

She said that this spot on his cheek, which has gotten larger in just a day, is probably mange. She told us what to give him and where to buy it, but I think we'll see a vet to be safe. Anyone ever seen mange? This just looks like a raw spot, but it is getting bigger fast.

Remember this necklace I bought on the beach the other day? Lost it already.



We got lightly rear-ended by a cab today, but he just lightly bent our bike-carrier, and he didn't want to do anything but leave, if we were ok. We knew that if we decided to call the cops, both vehicles would be impounded until they decided who was in the wrong. His vehicle took some damage, but ours was ok, so we shook hands and he left. It would have screwed up his business for days, and our weekend as well. We think it was the right decision.

So, maybe we'll go to this big book sale on the weekend. We already have a big list of things to buy in Phoenix that are hard to find here. That's one of the benefits of being so close to the border!
