A streetdog named nunchuck, part deux . . .

Chocobanano travels to the big city!
Yep, our little puppers is now better traveled than most Guatemalans! The irony is depresing.
Every day, little 'cafe con leche' is getting more healty, more lively, less scruffy, and more plump. Taryn has worked tirelessly to nurse 'Luna' back to health.
Bringing 'sofia' back to the States is not as hard as you might think - vaccinations, a clean bill of health from a US embassy approved vet, a small fee to the US embassy, and 'Xela' is a US citizen! Of course, nothing in Guatemala is as easy as it sounds, but even still, the process has been surprisingly smooth and straightforward!



Thw first thing Taryn and I did in Xela was take 'Chaco' to the vet. The dx, to Taryn's sincere and heartfelt relief, included all curable ailemts - respitory infection, skin fungus, and intestinal worms. We had previously suspected she had worms, since very time she ate, her stomach bloated to the size of a melon, impeding her ability to walk.



Nurse Taryn, happily caring for her sick little puppy.
