The Dog Story

So of you may have heard that I got a little black puppy a few weeks back, unfortunately it went missing a few days later during an episode of monstrous fireworks for September celebrations. Feeling awful and upset that it went missing, I started putting up “Lost Dog” signs the very next day and through the weekend. This was quite comical for most Belizeans because if a dog goes missing in Orange Walk, it’s left to find his own way home.

When I arrived to work on Monday, a gentleman at the office said he saw my dog by a school near our offices. I was so elated to hear that! However, I thought again, “There is no way my dog made it all the way over here! It’s so far away from my house!” However, the gentleman was insistent that it was Teo saying, “It is the exact dog in your picture, she was just over at the school.” I thought what the hell why not, it could be her, doesn’t hurt to check and see.  We walked over there and found no little black puppy named Teo! L
Then as we were walking back to the District Education Center, a little green car comes zooming by us and stops abruptly and man reaches into his back seat and hands me a puppy and says, “Here is your dog in the picture! I found her for you.” I look at the puppy excited and then realize it wasn’t Teo. I tell the man, “That is not my dog, it looks like her but it’s not my dog in the picture.” Again he says, “Yes, this is your puppy from the picture, take her, it’s your puppy!” Again I told the gentleman, “Mister, this is NOT my dog, she is really cute but it’s not Teo!” Then the gentleman just handed me the puppy through his car window and drove off. And my next thought was, “Is this for real! He just handed me this puppy and drove off!” I couldn’t just leave this little black puppy on the side of this busy road. So I took her back to my office and took her in as my own now.

 Koa!!


I am still looking for the other puppy, Teo and still hoping I will come across her on the street or under a car. The new little puppy is a cutie though. I named her Koa and is your typical puppy that whines and cries when I leave to work but over joyed when she see me walking down the street to come home.
Still Looking For Teo!! :(

Keep you all updated with how things are going with Koa and any new leads with Teo. As for now, Koa and I will be holding down the fort in our little yellow home on Mejiba Street!

Soo this blog was supposed to go out last week but just with the craziness it didn’t happen! And you should be glad because the dog story continues!!  A couple days ago I went running in the morning on my usual route, when I got back Koa was relaxing on the far side of the patio porch taking in some R&R. When I went over to give her some TLC, I looked up and saw this tiny white and brown puppy lying next this broken piece of cement next to my house. I couldn’t believe it; the puppy is only probably 5-6 weeks old (I’m guessing). I have no idea how it got into my yard because it’s fenced in all around and I can’t even fathom the thought that this little butterball hobbled all the way into my yard from who knows where without being seen or heard. Whatever the case, she ended up in my yard. So of course I took her in and she is doing quite well and Koa and her get along quite well. With the help of another PCV we named her Guya.

The New Edition...Guya!

The two pups are keeping me busy, but there are great! So funny to watch the wrestle around together and play. Each has their own unique personality already; Koa the playful, loving puppy and Guya the independent, crazy one who doesn’t take any $%&! from Koa. Oh my goodness! I sound like a proud Mom, LOL!!

The Pups enjoying a nice nap together! :)

Well, no more dog stories for now. Talk to you all soon! J
