We're here in the rain forest of Costa Rica, managing a Tree House B&B, where the tree houses (seven total) are high amongst the trees...our neighbors consist of loads of hummingbirds, some monkeys, sloths, frogs, snakes, iguanas, geckos and various other critters...we look forward to sharing with you some pics and blog entries as we continue on our jungle journey...

Not a happy camper. . .
Or maybe she is, she's pretty doped up at the moment, so maybe she's quite pleased with the situation. . . Most likely not. . . Mini-B is now a fixed pooch, so she won't be a mama. . . This is pretty rare in Costa Rica, as most people opt not to spay or neuter their dogs and cats. . . No worries, we're not going to go Bob Barker on you, but we just didn't want Mini-B dragging back from a night on the town at some point and getting a bundle of little surprises months later. . . She has to wear the halo for 10 days after surgery (she also had a tooth pulled, so it wasn't really a good day for her). . . When we first brought her home, she was walking backwards, as if she could back out of the halo. . . When the drugs wear off, it's probably going to be a challenge to keep it on her. . . The silver down below is something that the vet put on to help seal the wound. . . She goes back in a week to get her stitches out. . . Lucy was nearly in tears when we picked her up at the vet's office. . . Mini-B was shivering and shaking and didn't know what the sam hill was going on. . . I voted to wire her up to the satellite in hopes of getting free pay-per-view. . . That idea didn't go over very well. . .

At least she has a see-though model. Jiji's was opaque and she banged into everything. Tip: If you take it off it is nearly impossible to get back on.
unfortunately, the see-through model doesn't help mini-b out that much. . . she still runs into things. . . i hate to admit it, but it is amusing in a train-wreck sort of way. . . she'll make a break to get outside, and miscalculate and smack into the door jamb, bounce back and look pitiful. . .
