It has been awhile since I have written – in actual fact WAY TOO LONG. Lots of ups and downs this past year. l felt as did Seven and Stella a little lost to say the least. No matter what one says, animals feel your emotions. Mexico is a big country, do I really …
Many of you know the story. Me packing up and leaving my comfort zone. Headed south to Mexico with a few belongings and my dog, my best friend Seven. We crossed the US/Mexico border without a question. “Have a nice time” they told me. And for 5 months that is exactly what I did with …
It seems I have always had more than one animal that shares my space. There was a time for a few months after Devon passed away that my house was void of any four-legged friends. I thought that the time had come for me to live alone. I couldn’t do it. My house was empty …
For the last almost 20 years I had the best landlord one could ever want. I miss that connection. There were never any issues and it was my home, I mean really my home for those years. I still have a few things in their barn for a time perhaps if I may return. I …
The landscape around Tepoztlan is amazing. She is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains (no, they are not like the Rockies) that loom down from Mexico City.

I was always well aware of the hunting that has for the last three centuries decimated wildlife but to discover …
Upon moving into my new home, I wanted to meet the neighbours. And so did Seven. He and I quickly made good friends with one of the ten dogs that Elmer has. At first I thought she was snarling at me but no she was smiling, curling her top lip and wagging her tail. She …
Living in the climate and location that I am now in there are a number of insects that one has to learn to live with. Basically it is deal with it or move on. A whole array of species that are not in Canada. Like me, they hate the cold weather. I do not have …
After a night on the sofa, if one can call it that, a bed to sleep on was top priority. Seven was fine, he had his and was not in the least concerned. Where do I get a bed? One would think a bed store. Yeah that’s great but there are no “bed stores” in …
After nine long days on the road with little sleep apart from in San Miguel, we made it. We were here in Tepoztlan, Pueblo Magico, Morelos, Mexico. WOW. You did it Stephanie. Now what? After unloading the car it was time to decide what I was going to sleep on. I had no bed. My …
