==================

A wonderful dog lovin' local of Los Barriles has just adopted two, yes, two, puppies from Dr. Jorge Bravo's clinic in San Jose. Currently, she is in Colo. She needs assistance in getting them from San Jose to Colo. on Frontier airlines. Of course, she will pay all costs.
The puppies have shots, health certificates and a suitable crate. All they need is someone to accompany them on the flight. You will be met at the Denver airport by the owner.

Please, can you help in this? call Sheila P. at 141-0267. Warm, fuzzy feelings and puppy kisses guaranteed!! Or perhaps you are driving and would consider taking them with you. All options will be considered.

=======================

Due to economic stresses here in the Los Barriles area, ALMA Humanitaria, AC is getting calls from Mexican families who are unable to feed there dogs and need to find new homes for them. No doubt some will go to the local dump! Please help stop this from happening!! This is a very cruel end for any dog. They will surely die of starvation, dehydration and disease.

You can help! ALMA will be accepting bags of dog food to be carefully distributed to needy families. By providing a large bag of food these people will be able to keep their dogs. Please help keep our community free of starving dogs. Sam's Club has the best price on dog food. A very large 55lb bag is around $ 16.00 US. Next time you are in Cabo or La Paz please add a bag to your cart to help these animals. Costco and Soriana also have large bags at good prices.

To donate dog food or money for food please call Sheila P. at 141-0267 or Sheila M at
044-624-1377683. You can also donate on line at the ALMA website using PayPal.

OSCAR CURRENTLY HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF VEGES BUT QUITE A LOT OF HERBS.
AS HIS PRODUCTS NOW ARE MOSTLY HERBS, HE CAN'T SELL THEM DAILY AS PEOPLE DON'T USE SO MUCH THAT THEY NEED TO BUY THEM DAILY. HE WILL ALSO HAVE BABY LETTUCE, BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOME TOMATOES AND VARIOUS OTHER ITEMS.

HE APOLOGIZES AND WILL ONLY BE ACROSS FROM CHAPITO'S ON MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS AGAIN.

WE ARE TRYING TO SET UP SOME TYPE OF VEGE INVENTORY LIST OF THE VEGES THAT HE WILL BE BRINGING AND I ASKED IF HIS OFFICE CAN SET UP AN EMAIL LIST OF THE ITEMS HE'S BRINGING TO SEND TO HIS CUSTOMERS POSSIBLY ON SATURDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS FOR HIS MONDAY AND FRIDAY SALES AS WE DO NOT WANT TO BURDEN THE WONDERFUL SERVICES OF THE BPE.

I AM HOPING THAT HIS CUSTOMERS WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE EFFORT AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM AS THESE ARE DIFFICULT TIMES FOR EVERYONE. OSCAR WILL HAVE A BETTER SUPPLY OF PRODUCE AROUND OCTOBER AS HIS MAJOR GROWING SEASON IS CURRENTLY OVER DUE TO THE HEAT.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY FINANCIAL INTEREST WITH OSCAR AND AM ONLY ACTING AS A LIASON BETWEEN OSCAR AND HIS CUSTOMERS TO HELP PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS.

THANK YOU, JAMES H

a. Lower Signal Levels on Dish Network's Main Satellite - We've confirmed several reports of lower signal levels on Dish Network's main TV satellite at 119°. This seemed to occur at the same time that Dish Network changed their encryption format, shutting down hundreds of thousands of pirated receivers in the process. The reduced signal levels may be noticed on smaller dishes in the range of 1.0 to 1.1 meters (from 40" to 44"), such as the older RCA and DirecTV dishes. Some channels may not come in, especially during the morning hours. Instead, the receiver will display an "Acquiring Satellite Signal" message on these channels. Owners of larger dishes 1.2 meters and above may not have noticed any difference. A minimum dish size of 1.5 meters (5') is now the minimum recommended size for new installations. - Alan Thompson, alan@bajasatellite.com

We have two adorable puppies currently in foster care and looking for good homes.
One will be a medium-sized dog and the other a little larger.
We can help with transportation to a home in the U.S.
See our website for photos: http://www.amigosdeanimales.org/adoptapet.html
For more info contact Bird 624-358-1615
Thanks for helping us find these little guys a home!
