     Thanks to all who have responded so generously and kindly in your concern for our local dog Chata. Here is the latest information on her situation.
     Chata was taken to Amigos Veterinary Clinic in North Beach yesterday for a surgery to remove the very large tumors on her mammary glands. However, upon further examination it was determined that there are more tumors than originally diagnosed. Underneath the two large tumors are many smaller ones. Due to her age, approximately 13 mas o manos, the vets feel that is not in her best interest to embark on what would have to be two major surgeries done six months apart to allow for optimal healing. Neither of the visible tumors have any lesions or secretions.
     The doctors recommend that Chata return to her home behind Chapitos' to enjoy the rest of her life as she is. She is not in any pain and still has a good appetite despite being very thin. It was discovered at her examination that her teeth are in very poor condition so she cannot eat dry dog food. As many of you know she does love hot dogs!! Please stop when you see her, give her a little love and a hot dog or two.......you can also drop off cans of wet dog to Ernestina who owns Chata.
     Since Chata is not having surgery and donations were collected for her benefit they can be refunded by ALMA. If you would like a refund please email almacares@hotmail.com
If no refund is requested this money will be used at a later date to provide care for the next serious case that surely will come along.
     With regards to the dog from a ranch near El Cardonal.....this large dog had a seriously injured rear leg. During a botched attempt to repair this leg, done by a medic with the Mexican army, the lower portion of the leg was reattached.....BACKWARDS!!!!!! Whether this was done in ignorance or is a result of a very sick sense of humor we will never know.
What we do know is that this dog needs care. He has been evaluated and is scheduled for an amputation next Wednesday as there is no hope of repairing this leg.
     ALMA is very grateful and appreciative to all who give support to help the animals of this area.
For more information about ALMA see our website at www.almacares.com or call Sheila Pierson at 141-0267 or 858-427-4965.

I am in need of ATV tires. Has anyone found a good place in Cabo, San Jose or LaPaz that they are readily available in most sizes "right off the rack" so they don't have to order them? And at a reasonable price? Or has anyone gotten tires from a local person in Los Barriles that they felt was reliable (as I am sure they would have to order them) and competitively priced? Contact Doug at 7barx@wildblue.net

Otay Mesa Border Crossing - We returned from Todos to CA Feb 1 via the Otay Mesa crossing rather than the main TJ route. The route is on the AAA Baja map but it is not marked on the road, so here are directions if you want to try it:
Take the toll or "cuota" from Ensenada north. About 5 mi south of Rosarito, watch for the Calafia resort and take the next exit to the "libre" road. If you come to the 2nd toll gate, you just missed it; you can take the next exit and go back south on the libre, but you have to pay the $3 toll. From Calafia, go north on the libre and watch for a stop light at a 4-lane to the right (east) marked "Corridor Tijuana-Rosarito." There is no sign of any kind on the cuota. AAA shows it going to El Florido, but this is not marked on the road either. The Corridor is a new, US-style freeway that runs east about 18 mi, where it meets Hwy 2 to Tecate. It then turns north about 7 mi to Hwy 20 -- the cuota to Mexicali. It was almost empty when we went thru. It has large signs to "Garita Otay" -- UNTIL you get to the Hwy 20 intersection. Here, take the side marked "San Diego." This turns back west about 3 mi and ends in an urban 4-lane avenue. Continue about 1 mi, pass a McDonald's on the right; at the next intersection, turn right -- it is marked "Garita Otay." It's about one mi to the crossing. We hit Otay at rush hour and it took 90 min. Don't know if it would have been even longer at main TJ. Advantages of this route: road in great condition; little traffic; interesting views of TJ underside; less confusing border approach. Enjoy! - Paul & Arayah, paul@summerinspect.com
