Two Puppies

Two Puppies

Hello everyone.  Aimee here!  Thursday was a Curacao holiday, Flag Day!  So, a couple of weeks ago Barry ordered some “flag-shirts” at work.  Everyone on the island wears them today.  They are great, all blue with two white stars on the right chest and yellow stripes on the sleeves; the Curacao island flag colors.  The island is very busy celebrating today, with people decorating their houses and flags on all the cars.  I just don’t remember from years past this kind of celebration.  But, what fun it is.
 
Well, today we all had the day off, so we took a “Brown-fun-family-trip-to-the-beach” day.  We of course took ALLLL the dogs.  This photo here just makes me laugh every time I look at it.  First off let me explain. It has been super, super windy here for weeks and today it seemed even harder.  So, don’t worry, this pups ears don’t normally stand up like this.  She was facing into the wind and “whoosh” up they went.  I told Barry I would have felt safer if we had a leash on her in case she took off like a kite! Well, little sister underneath had found her way under this coral boulder and dug her way to this side.  Those two will keep you on your toes for sure!  The windmills are over by our favorite beach, Canoa, on the north side of the island. Our plan today is one we live by:  a tired dog is a good dog.  After all the walking, digging and jumping, all the pups flopped asleep in the car before we even drove away.  The good thing was they all slept for the next 3 hours and we went to the movies!  We went to see “Up” the latest Pixar animated film; and it was awesome!  I would really recommend everyone to go see it, kids and adults alike.
 
Well, Barry and I are headed out to show the pups to a potential new owner.  It is pretty tough to find the kind of homes we are looking for. Most dog people already have several dogs.  These little ones have changed so much over the last weeks.  They arrived never being touched by a human and now when we walk in the room we get attacked by licking, jumping puppies.  It is so wonderful to get to be a part of.  So wish us luck.  I know just the perfect home is just waiting for them, we just have to find them.
