looks like we got adopted here in costa rica

yep
someone found us
zoom image


I am calling him "bones"
due to the fact that every bone in his skeleton is visible through his skin

i figure he has worms, and isn't fed regularly so hopefully after a couple weeks he fattens up

funny story how this came about...

We had seen this dog roaming about and a couple people around town had told us to feed said dog, they claimed the pooch was really sweet, and needed someone to take care of it.
Being that this is a new country to be in, and just moving into a house that was vacant for quite some time it wouldn't be the worst idea ever to feed a big hound dog, that could possibly, in the future, be an alarm system.

Having arrived and getting settled in we had seen this dog wandering around.
and last night I heard a dog barking outside
so being excited I ran outside whistling for our new pup to come home

ok
so keep in mind costa rica is dark
and I can't see anything
then said barking prospect
comes bounding up the stairs
also keep in mind, I haven't met this dog nor seen him up close
THIS DOG IS HUGE
and he was barking
so here I am on a porch with a gigantic dog running full speed at me in costa rica
yep
im scared
but thankfully, he puts on the brakes and wags his tail

i tell him to wait a second, go inside, and come out with a plate of food that he inhales immediately
after feeding i figure its time to get aquainted
i pet him, and when i stop he softly places a paw on my leg
well simply put, i fell in love

SOOOOO
one thing leads to another and Bones is now my personal project in Costa Rica
he came up on the porch today who knows at what time
i fed him hung around outside for a bit with him

and that would be the story....

cheers

lol yep, sounds like you got visited by the dog fairy, Costa Rica is a freindly beuatiful place, sounds like you got a freindly beautiful mut. Muts are a great type of dog, none of the ego and frailty of pedegree dogs, and hells more street smarts and just smarts in general, i should know, im technically i Costarican mut myself. In any case, defenetly take him to a vet, get him all his shots and stuff. Mutts are great but they die easily because they never get all those shots and stuff

Buena suerte chica

adding "...in costa rica." to any sentence makes it 20% wilder
