Landhouse 1

Landhouse 1

Good afternoon from Curacao!!  This morning on the way to the coast with the dogs we made a little detour and visited an old, old landhouse.  Aimee and I have seen this thing for years alongside the dirt road to Saint Joris and finally we stopped and did a little exploring.  The second I opened the car door Indi and Inca shot out like a rocket and quickly scouted the place and then gave us the clearance to further investigate.  The island is completely covered in these old abandoned homes and are now just ruins, we call them landhouses because they are so big one would think someone with money or power once owned them??  We ended up staying here for quite awhile, there was so much to see and tons of cool photo possibilities.  As I walked around doing what photographers do Aimee and Indi were waiting and playing in the front door as you see here, it was the icing on my cake!  After our fun here we drove down the road to the ocean and again unleashed the wild hounds and this time off they went bounding into the ocean like two big kids!!  The heat ended up driving us home early, we only ended up doing a short 30 minute walk and then called it a morning. 
 
Later on in the morning Aimee took off to do some shopping and about five minutes after she left the phone rang, it was Aimee?  I could hardly hear her with the sound of the traffic buzzing by in the background and she sounded frantic and out of breath!!  She said your not going to believe what I just found!!  I was stopped at a light and found a box with six puppies inside!!  What do I do??  I can’t just leave them here!!  Should I take them to the shelter or bring them home, should I call Sheila at  CARF??  She then said ok clean out the computer room and put Indi and Inca away, I will see you soon.  I was more or less speechless and couldn’t come up with much advice, I told her do whatever you need to do.  My head was just spinning thinking about the last three puppies we had and all the work that was when Aimee said, Honey, April Fools!!! 
 
I am still struggling with this bronchitis junk, last night was a long night of coughing!  Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, be back tomorrow, Barry
