Mood: Enjoying Life with Wife In Mexico, Easy on The Easy

[*] posted on 9-24-2007 at 12:09 AM


I have a boxer that had pups and took them across and back in Mexicali without any problems. Had their paperwork to show their shots but never asked for them. I have a Vet over there that saved this boxer's life when on the 4th of July the fireworks started in Brawley and through the fence and down the road the boxer went. I found her 5 days later after my son put an ad in the newspaper offering a reward. Someone called and said they saw what appeared to be a boxer in a vegetable field near my house. Went to the area calling out the boxer's name and sure enough out she came but with a badly broken leg. I had to call this Vet as the local one in Brawley wanted me to take this dog all the way to San Diego and she was in too much pain. He wanted me to agree to spend $5,000 on an operation for the dog's leg. The Vet in Mexico had to put a rod in and keep the dog for two days before my son and I could go get her. Well, the dog lived and all worked out well. Oh, by the way the cost was $275 dollars and he even saw her again to take the rod out. This dog runs like a rabbit and has totally over came this injury. Again , Mexicali Border check with Mexico and U.S. not a problem with dogs. Later------- bajafun777

Gotta admit, the checkpoints go a lot faster when Timmy is in the car. At 45 lbs, he's not that big but he really doesn't like it when people get too close to the car and looks the part.

They often just wave us through, sometimes after asking me if he bites. Fact is, he's never bitten anyone but I just tell them he doesn't like strangers and that's usually enough. Here he is in the back of my truck with one of our other girls behind him..




Fact is, the trip down the Baja is more enjoyable when my buddy is travelling with me. He makes me get out and walk around more than I would normally. I also don't worry about the car getting broken into.

My dog is big but he gives himself away at military checkpoints with his sweet temperament. He wags his tail and wants them to play. When they do ask me, "su perro es bravo?" I say, "only when necessary". Then they back away. ;)

I was once attacked at Camp Gecko by ... Roberto's dog. I took a severe licking and to this day suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Slobber Disorder):lol:

Although my dog Chu is half lab, he is not "aggressively affectionate" like Toby, just aggressive. Unfortunately (or not, depending on circumstance), his Chow side is dominant. He does not usually bark or charge at people, preferring to lie in ambush until people have walked past him, then quietly sever one of their Achilles' Tendons from behind.

I doubt we would ever be allowed to live in an uptight Homeowner's Assoc. controlled ghetto, but then that's the kind of place I go to Mexico to get away from.

Gated Community= Voluntary Prison




All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
