Kaz offered to be a "foster parent" to a puppy until we leave in June. She was part of a large litter and the owner says she hasn't been getting any attention and would really benefit from being away from the mob of dogs she already has. The owner is the 2nd grade teacher at the Cloud Forest School, and yes, she will take the puppy back unless someone else adopts her before we leave. Her name was Birdie, but Kaz thought she needed a good Costa Rican name, so he re-named her Pinzona, which means (female) finch. So, she is still a bird, I guess. They had called her Birdie because she would make a chirping sound when the other dogs stole her food or otherwise overpowered her. Kaz picked her up from the owner at the weekly Feria at the public school gymnasium (below) and promptly took her to our favorite cafe, Chinches (above). Dogs are allowed almost everywhere here, and they run free, though Kaz has her on a leash for awhile to train her. Kaz took her in a cab yesterday and unfortunately, she threw up in the cab. Fortunately, she threw up on Kaz and not on the interior of the cab itself. She is already housetrained and has all her shots. She's a lovely puppy; "beautiful and very friendly," Kaz says.

Pinzona is soooo cute! And both she and Kaz look very happy. I look forward to seeing all three of you in April. Kaz, why aren't you posting?
