Our only meal out
Last Wednesday ( March 9th ) a very good friend in the park offered to give us a full day off from the girls so we could go to Mazatlan and do whatever we wanted to. Instead we decided to stay on the Isla and have a late lunch/early diner at El Velero. There was no one anywhere near us and it was a beautiful day but it was windy and very cool.
In addition to two margaritas for me and two lemonada natural for Colin we both enjoyed coconut shrimp. A very tasty meal but I will repeat it was very cool.
We had plans to discuss certain things but it really was not comfortable sitting there. So just over two hours later we went home. We had walked the girls, had them do their business and they should have napped ( we brought their two beds over ). Instead they visited outside, went for a walk on the beach ( wow, she was very brave to take them out ) and when it got too cool they played inside on her bed – all three of them.
They were at the door in a second once they heard our hello. Can you see Carlie giving us the evil eye?
Ciela was most eager to see us.
But once we got inside Carlie was jumping up to kiss me repeatedly. Colin came prepared with paper towels to mop up her excited pee. She hasn’t done that in a long time. Turns out the Ciela was just fine being there but Carlie was very shy. Our friend thought that Carlie had separation anxiety. We had a happy reunion and obviously we will need to start leaving them alone more often, either with someone or on their own. We had hoped to get them used to being on their own by leaving them only ten minutes at a time and then slowly extending that time. Sadly our RV neighbour hates dogs and will not tolerate even one bark without yelling at us. So we are behind in our training in that regard. However the twins have become very good at staying silent on just a command.
It was a lovely break and much appreciated.
So very true.
A lovely end to the day.

Good to see you two get out even if it was for a short time. We had to force ourselves to leave Zoey alone for the first several times fearing she would have separation anxiety. We left her in her crate the first few times then let her out for shorter periods eventually lengthening them. We can leave her (and Dakota) alone now for up to 8 hours without accidents or incidents.
I think it is easier to train a new pup to stay quiet if there is an older one with them. That worked for us in the past but not this time!
Lucky you, that was also our favorite place to eat. Maybe we need to be your neighbors again, your pups never bothered us. Enjoy, time is short.
We would love to have you back as neighbours.
That is a very good friend indeed to give you a “time out”. I just wish the weather had been a wee bit warmer and less wind for you lunch/dinner. We really enjoy eating outside in Mexico as well as at our own home.
It was a lovely time out for us, well said.
It’s to bad it was so cold out, it looked like a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the afternoon.
Lovely on most days but this is a very cool winter – but still better than back home.
How sad is it that the first thing I thought when I started the post, before scrolling down, was I hope you got your margarita in… 🙂 lol.
I’m glad your girls listen the first time you tell them “hush”. Our girls hear us, I know they do, but choose not to listen, lol!
Love the comic!
Cheers!
They have had no choice but to be silent so that we don’t get kicked out. We have hated restricting them so much.
We left our dogs alone yesterday for half an hour and they were on top of the table looking out for us when we returned!
Back home they sit on the sofa by the window waiting for me if I’m out shopping and run to the door as soon as they see the truck.
Similar to what our others pups used to do. However we need to train these two to not bark while left alone. Big challenge.
