dogs love coconuts!

[Gato Moteado]

i had gotten some young coconuts from the feria today to drink the "agua de pipa" inside. after i finished one of them i took a machete and broke the coconut in half on the lawn in the yard. my dog got interested in what i had and she picked up one of the coconut halves, carried it away and licked all the white coconut flesh out of it. so i tossed her the other one and she did the same.

5. i will try and snap some shots of her tomorrow

i'm fighting the flu today. i've been eating fruit and drinking liquids all day to try to get better.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Yuck!

I can imagine having the flu in the tropics sucks. Get better soon.

[Gato Moteado]

10. actually, if i were near the beach i'd probably feel much better....

....but it's been chilly the last two or three days where i live and that makes me feel worse.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Maybe if it was warmer you could sweat that stuff out of you.

I do that with colds all the time.

8. How is Libby???

:hi:

Hope you feel better. Would love to see photos as well.

[Gato Moteado]

9. you mean abbey? she's doing great......

she loves it here.

by the way, she loved andy. he would lay on the floor and play with her for hours on end. she misses him as much as we do.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Well, I got part of the name right!!!!

:blush:

I knew it was something with two bs and ended in a y.

Andy was like that with pets. My sister's dog took to him immediately. But he didn't lay on the floor. He didn't need to lay on the floor with that dog.

I was at my sister's for a cookout last Monday. That dog has a thing for me...my niece kept trying to pet him and every time he walked around, he came to me. My niece was not happy. But, as she said once more than 10 years ago, dogs love me. :D

[Gato Moteado]

17. i know abbey would love you too......

...you'll have to visit her sometime.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. I love dogs, too....

One day.... :)

Just listening to the Midnight Special, they played the great Steve Goodman's "Lincoln Park Pirates". :D

[Gato Moteado]

21. who's hosting the show nowadays?

nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. Rich Warren.

He's done it for years now. I miss Ray Nordstrand and Norm Pelligrini, though.

[Gato Moteado]

29. i met rich warren because i used to go to the wfmt studios on...

...new year's eve for the midnite special new year show. he's a jerk.

i imagine ray croaked off by now. he was about 152 years old when i lived in chicago and that was 16 years ago or more.

14. Careful with the coconut water if you have the flu;

too much can give you diarrhea and dehydrate you even more.

Hope you feel better soon. :hi:

[Gato Moteado]

16. ah....thanks for the tip....

i won't have any more until tomorrow.

so, you're living in key largo? i lived in miami for quite a while. i used to hang out in the keys when i had free time. what do ya do there?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

23. I run a vacation resort. We have a LOT of coconuts on the property

so therefore I feel I am qualified to give advice on this food source. :)

[Gato Moteado]

25. i used to get back to miami fairly often......

...hopefully i'll get there this year for a week or so. if i do, i'll come down and visit you.

i miss everglades national park. i used to spend every free minute i had hiking around the south end of the park or biking around the trail at shark valley.

by the way, i read something about agua de pipa a couple years ago. apparently it has incredible medicinal properties. one thing i remember from the article i read was that it's very effective at lowering blood pressure.

24. Not a good idea. What till that coconut comes out of your dogs back end.

You'll be sorry.

[Gato Moteado]

26. as long as she does her business outside, it's ok with me....

i was reading that coconut oil is good for dogs.
