A group of us had been out for dinner at a great Mexican seafood restaurant and when we came out Connie spotted this puppy. Actually, there were two puppies, so she had the pick, and this one, who they named Ramona after the lady who had them, was the lucky one. Connie and her husband Manny are from Coos Bay Oregon, and we met them here last winter. Then, they had a wonderful old dog, Cindy, who we all loved. Sadly, as they began their trip to Mexico this winter, Cindy died suddenly. Now they have a new, cute, lively little puppy to raise and she really has changed their lives.
This is Gato, or at least that’s what we call him. He appeared at our motor home a couple weeks after we arrived here and immediately attached himself to Larry. And, Larry, being a cat lover, became attached to him. Although other campers told us Gato wouldn’t have anything to do with people, he wasn't a bit timid with us. In a couple days he was sitting in our laps and enjoyed being petted.
He didn’t look starved and was quite clean for a stray, and typically playful. We supposed someone had been taking care of him. So, we have been feeding him and he has become part of our daily lives. Soon he was following Larry all over the campground like a puppy. Larry made him a little “condo” out of cardboard boxes where he sleeps and takes his naps. He greets us outside our door every morning and entertains the whole campground with his playful antics, especially when Ramona comes over for their daily romp.
