Asuncion Lap Dancer emigrates to USA
So amigos mios...no more free lap dances from dear Lucy...Nomad Packoderm has adopted her...whizzed her away under his jacket after she spent a few
days with them in San Roque. Many of you threatened to take her home...got her hopes up...then waved goodbye....but she finally realized her dream of
emigrating to the states.
She has a clean bill of health and wont have to deal with any more puppies either and is happily lap dancing for a new family....sniff sniff....she
will be missed...but we are happy for her good fortune.
In other canine news....Awful Art also gave new life to a gimped up doggie....viva pet adoptions...gracias amigos.

Here is Lucy doing what she does best. In this photo, Rita is just getting used to her, but they are getting along famously now.

Oh so bittersweet.....I will miss Lucy big dog, but she's off to bigger venues!! I guess I'll have to bring my own doggie next time, he's about
Lucy's size and pretty good at bustin a move himself. Maybe I can teach Shammy how to dance???

Dan will want to kill me if he finds out I posted this picture.

Wonder if Lucy Big dog misses us? think she misses having to scrum for her food with the other 7 dogs?...or sleeping outside on the cold hard ground?
NOT! good thing we raised her bilingual.

Of course she misses you, who wouldn't? We all do...and she's probly missing Asuncion, but she's also probly really digging her new family. It will
be interesting to see how she reacts when she and her family come back to visit. Is Tuto still hanging around the rental?

I didn't initially plan on keeping Lucy. I didn't bring Rita with us because we had planned to drive to Los Cabos, get rid of the van, and fly back
home. Shari offered us a choice of one of her dogs for companionship during our brief stay at the beach house in San Roque. I chose Lucy, and we
enjoyed a very fine stay in San Roque. However, when was filling out my FMT when I first entered Mexico, I noticed that my passport was to expire 3
days prior to our departure. Lucy weighed heavily on my decision not to pursue legal options from the consulate in Cabo San Lucas. Luckily, I had also
brought along my birth certificate, so I had the option to enjoy the vacation for the planned amount of time and then cross the border overland.
I elected to keep Lucy, so we had her spayed and vaccinated at the clinic in the Oasis modular living establishment in Mulege. The requested donation
for spaying is $20.00 U.S., and vaccinations were somewhat less. We gave $60.00 for the spay, shots, Frontline flea control, and a certificate to
present at the border. Neutering and vaccinations are free of charge for locals. Ramon, the gentleman who rents kayaks at Playa Escondida, seemed to
take great pride in his dog getting spayed at the clinic. This clinic definitely deserves a thumbs up.
Lucy was a perfect lady during our vacation and was a great travel dog. She is very intelligent. She knows her name. She is needy, but will instantly
back off if I give any indication that I need my space. She stops walking when I say "No." She goes potty upon placing her on our lawn. She hasn't yet
had an accident in our house. I am glad that she will have Rita for company when I am away. All in all, she was very quick to make our house her home.
When crossing the border in Tecate, we held onto some fruits and eggs from Baja. When asked, we didn't try to hide this, so we got sent into
secondary. We gave the agent the bag with the offending items, and he did a one-minute look through the van. He asked if the dog was coming back with
us from Mexico. I said yes, and he asked for any paperwork we might have. I showed him the paper given to us from the clinic, and he seemed pleased.
He was very friendly. He reminded me of William Macy from CSI. After telling us that we were free to go, he offered us use of the restroom facilities
and casually mentioned to me that my passport had expired 3 days earlier. He seemed pleased when I pointed to my birth certificate on the dashboard,
and we headed back home. In total, the border wait took 21 minutes including secondary.

Thanks Shari, but I'm not having any luck. When I resize the pic it loses quality, but looks very tie dyed. David K, any suggestions?

I was told by a border agent that they would be accepting expired Passports. Anyone else hear this or see it written?
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

An expired passport is still a legally accepted form of birth cerrtificate for the US government. At least that is what I was told at the state dept
office at LA years back...

You mean they would have let me on the airplane with an expired passport? Oh well; I guess fate has a way of working things out. I guess I've got me a
five hundred dollar dog out of the bargain and a van too.
