Dogknapping and Housechanging

Expect the Unexpected

I guess things were getting too quiet and routine for us, because within about 20 minutes tonight, two unexpected, lifestyle-altering events took place at our house.
First, Kaz showed up carrying Birdie. He found her wandering around Santa Elena quite far from her house, so he called her owner and got permission to bring her back to our house for the night. Kaz is convinced Birdie’s owner is negligent and that Birdie is better off with us because she gets more attention and gets to stay inside out of the cold and rain. He is not inclined to return her tomorrow. Ay vay.

Next, the owner of our house showed up after traveling three hours from Heredia to introduce herself and then say she wants to move back to Monteverde- to the house we are living in. She requested that we move out of her house, “the most soon as possible.” Ay vay. At least she didn’t react negatively when she saw Birdie in the house and she was amenable to giving us two weeks to move.

Guess I’ll have to spend part of tomorrow negotiating a semi-kidnapped dog and finding a new house.
