Moondoggie Returns!!!


We had a great visit with Brian and Shelley, whom you remember as being Fredi's Mommy and Daddy--Coquta's little play date...
As Brian contemplates a wave quite a bit bigger than he is, we have to give him the good sport award for taking the boogie board and challenging the waves for the first time. He said it was just great, and that the water was like a "bathtub"...
He got several pretty good rides, as the surf was just high enough to get him moving...so kudos to Moondoggie!!! (That's Gidget's Bobby Darren boyfriend, in case you have somehow missed the connection...
We all spent time relaxing on the deck, and had to make a couple of trips to Montanita and the Casa Blanca, where all of the staff greeted us with lots of cries "Coquita, Coquita" take a look...

These two little girl puppies just seem to be joined at the hip...when they first get together, they just tussle and chase each other until each is exhausted...then they rest up and do it again...


Kelley and the girls in the kitchen all wanted to pose with the puppies...
Got to have a "surfer girl" shot...

The next morning...we had another "Casa Blanca Fix", and I have to admire the adventureness of Shelley as she joined me in having my favorite "heart attack special", which is actually just a giant pancake filled with sliced bananas and slathered with chocolate drizzles...(Yeah, I know that adventureness is not a word, but I added it to my Google spell check dictionary..so there). Here is the "special" again...
We also got to see "horses in Montanita" and a new kitty mural that Bob and Coquita are checking out...
The verbiage is "Bad Cat"

Just had to get a pose of our guests with the setting sun...
Now, these folks are just wonderful house guests, and we look forward to having more fun on their next trip to the Coast...
And...they also have a really nice blog, so if you wish to see their take on the visit, please click here... http://planetirony.blogspot.com/2009/03/puppy-pajama-party.html
We took a ride up and down the beach at Olon, and also checked out the cliff that is eroding away from the private catholic school on the bluff. Alfonso, who is our Spanish language helper, sends his kids to school there...

The is the shot in the other direction...
The group posing in front ot the point where the "serious" surfing takes place...

These red crabs are all over the place...so naturally Coquita thinks it is great fun to chase them, and when she finally gets them to stop, she lies down to look at them, or sometimes tries to rear up on her hind legs with me holding her back on the leash, sort of like a furry little Godzilla...No squashed crabs here!!!

Coquita and Fredi taking a break--finally!!!

Packing up to go and saying Goodbye...these two little guys actually were grieving when each was going away with her mommy and daddy...
Saying Adios for awhile...

After all was said and done, Coquita passed out with her "Practice Fredi"--just too much excitement for a little puppy...plus a little sad...
