Thurs, 9 Jan
today was a great day. Lonnie and Jolene (from Kzoo) are on their way to Guatemala and are spending a few days in San Pedro; and today they came to Caye Caulker to spend the day with me. Jolene was one of the 10 girls that came to Belize for a birthday celebration over 3 years ago. Lonnie had never been here before, but he said he really like it here ... even better than San Pedro. :) i showed them around the catteries, and i think they were overwhelmed by it all, as everyone is. Lonnie took a picture of Swiper.
while we were standing by the sea, we saw this 'barge' carrying sand ... it was so cute with the little awning on it. ....riding pretty low in the water !
then we walked down to The Split and Jolene and i posed in the window of the Lazy Lizard.
Jolene liked the second balcony upstairs at Lazy Lizard that wasn't there when she was here last time. it's a beautiful view from up there. those are picnic tables in the water where we ate lunch and had some fu-fu drinks :)
it was nice to have another day off :)
i waited with them for the 3:30 water taxi back to San Pedro .... it was windy out on that dock! the beautiful photos are compliments of Lonnie ... thank you !
after they left, Eddi and i helped Alex with the feeding ... it went much better tonight with us finishing before dark. i noticed that Hiccups didn't eat all his food last evening. in the morning, with better light, i checked him out. his big bottom tooth is sticking straight out of his mouth ... like it's broken, but still connected. his gums are black (maybe they are normally black, i don't know); but he has really bad smelling breath, which i'm sure means it is infected. now what do we do? i gave him some Amoxicillin this evening. we'll see what happens tomorrow. he has a good appetite, but of course can't chew. i'm giving him canned food with water and he is eating it... that's a good sign.
