We were at Amigos Veterinarians (at Playa Norte) today. Someone abandoned a 4-week old female puppy there. Is it possible that you could include the attached photo in your newsletter to see if someone might want to adopt the puppy? The Vet indicated that she would probably only grow to be about 15 pounds.  Many thanks,  Linda Wells  East Cape RV Park  lindarwells@yahoo.com
The puppy is at the North Beach Vet Clinic.


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

Hola to you Dog Lovers! I would like to just offer some information for owners of those special animals in our lives. I am seeing ticks on some of the pets I have groomed and now there are at least 3 dogs that are being treated for being exposed. You need to check your dogs!
I spent this evening investigating info -was online with Just Answer Veterinary and was told our area has an 8-18% risk for Borellia tick borne disease. Was told ticks are still going to bite no matter what prevention you use-they will ingest that preventative and it will usually kill them within 12 hours.
Now in order to transmit the disease the tick needs to feed for 48 hours. If they don't feed for 48 hours the disease will not be transmitted. I asked about specific meds and I have that information if you would like to email me I will pass that along. Was given website- www.petparents.com   
and it was full of more information. I am hoping this will be helpful. Please do more investigating yourself and feel free to contact me with that information. Let's protect those FUR FACES! Vickie A. Heaps happyinmex@hotmail.com  141-0341

Baja Night Skies.  The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), 44 feet long and about 14 feet wide, will pass over southern Baja Sur several nights this week, each pass lasting between 4and 5 minutes. Tuesday it will rise West of SW (WSW) around 7:33:30pm. Wednesday evening the HST will be at its brightest. It will rise about 7:30pm WSW and pass very near Venus, the extremely bright planet in the west after sunset. About 1 minute 40 seconds later it will graze Uranus (binoculars needed), then heads directly for bright Jupiter overhead and intersect the planet at about 7:33:35pm. It then continues across the sky passing near the bright star Aldebran before fading out inside the giant winter hexagon of 6 bright stars, which includes the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, situated below the constellation of Orion. A thin crescent moon will also be near Venus on Wednesday evening. On Thursday the HST will rise around 7:27pm just to the north of Venus and will pass near the waxing crescent moon. TS

Happy Ending:  Yes, our dog (the 20 lb. poodle)  was turned in for the reward. We believe she was taken by a ring of airport workers that are based out of a town near the airport and take "French poodles" and sell them.  She is now home safe and sound and very happy.  jkshellard@hotmail.com
