When we first got here I was sooooo scared!! There were all these new strange smells and sounds! And my humans left me in this strange house as soon as we got here! (They did come back after a while and brought me food and other stuff.)
I remember when we first got here I could not relax! Cars were always driving by the house and these things called "motorcycles", whatever they are, they are LOUD! My humans say they are missing something called a "muffler" and that's why they are so loud. I had never heard that sound before. Oh and the dreaded fireworks!
Our gate that leads to the outside world is right by the street and strangers pass by it all the time....at first, I thought they were coming to pet me....but they don't, so now I just bark at them all!
The nice thing I like about our new country (my humans say it's called Costa Rica) is it's a dog paradise! I love going for walks, you can pee and poop anywhere and no one cares! (except my humans, they still want me to use the grass). Some times people walk their dogs on leashes, but other times they don't, or dogs just wander around. But I can't understand what they're barking about (and they bark a lot!), I guess they bark in Spanish.....maybe I need to go to school too. Oh, and you always have to watch your step here...not just because of the dogs. They have these things here called "gringo traps" (a gringo is what they call someone who lives in the U.S.) and they can be pretty dangerous!
I'm glad I'm a good jumper! I don't have to worry about no gringo trap! I just hope my humans keep watching where they're going....I don't think I could pull them out.
At least it's safe inside here.
I remember one day we went for a walk and when we came around the corner there was a man laying on the ground next to the wall. He smelled sad and like something else I had never smelled before...I think it was hopelessness....yeah, he smelled like hopelessness (and a turkey sandwich, because he had one). If he hadn't been sleeping I might've tried to cheer him up by licking his face! A good face licking always cheers people up!
My humans say they are here to learn Spanish so they can help people like him. Help people who smell like hopelessness to know about Jesus, because He gives us hope. If my humans can be brave enough to do this, then so can I! After all, Jesus says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (even in Costa Rica!)
This is me, being brave! I'll talk to you later! love, Lucy
